“Son Finally Divorced, So Happy” Mother-in-law Got Slapped in the Face a Month Later

When we were young, we thought life was simple, and we believed that love would last forever, and marriage would be a lifelong partnership.

However, as we experienced life, we realized that many things were just one-sided fantasies, and love wasn’t the only thing that mattered in marriage, and marriage wasn’t the only thing that mattered in life.

We were too young and naive, thinking that being with the one we loved was the most important thing, and that we could overcome all difficulties as long as we were together.

Confidence is not a bad thing, but when it comes to marriage, if you can’t get the blessing of your partner’s family from the start, the road ahead will be tough.

Some problems can’t be solved no matter how hard you try. Human hearts are the hardest to understand, and relationships are the hardest to merge.

Yingzi (alias) and Dabing (alias) were each other’s first loves. When love came, there was no time to calm down and consider the other person’s family conditions. It wasn’t until they decided to get married that they realized how important these things were.

Dabing’s family lived in the city, and although their conditions were average, his parents hoped he would marry a local girl from a better-off family. Yingzi’s family lived in the countryside, and although their conditions weren’t bad, they were always looked down upon by her future in-laws.

Her in-laws always felt that their son deserved a girl with a house and a car, and they looked down on Yingzi. However, Dabing told his parents that he wouldn’t marry anyone else, and Yingzi thought that as long as she showed her sincerity, her in-laws would eventually accept her.

When they got married, Yingzi didn’t ask for any conditions, not even a dowry. She thought that as long as the two of them worked together, they would eventually have a house.

After marriage, the two of them rented a house outside, and their life was okay. However, life isn’t always smooth sailing, and others can’t always give you what you want.

Although they didn’t live with her in-laws, her mother-in-law would often suddenly show up to check on their life, see if her son was being taken care of, and inspect whether Yingzi kept the house clean.

Her mother-in-law was so harsh that she would even open the refrigerator and cabinets to inspect, and then scold Yingzi. To keep the peace, Yingzi endured all the hardships silently and didn’t tell Dabing.

However, her mother-in-law didn’t appreciate her efforts and instead became even more demanding. On weekends, she would only call her son back home for dinner, and if Yingzi went with him, she would give her a cold face, as if marrying her was a great sacrifice for their family.

Many times, her mother-in-law would sigh to their neighbors, saying that if her son hadn’t insisted on marrying Yingzi, many girls with houses would have been willing to marry him.

People are not grass, and Yingzi naturally felt hurt by her mother-in-law’s behavior.

It was only then that she realized what others had said: first impressions are crucial. From the start, her mother-in-law had given her a bad impression, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t change their minds.

Before, she thought that as long as two people truly loved each other, everything would be fine. However, after getting married, she discovered that Dabing had many problems, was lazy, and didn’t want to work hard.

Yingzi encouraged him to strive for more, but Dabing would say that his parents only had him, and their property would eventually be his, so there was no need to hurry.

The more they talked, the more Dabing would run back to his parents’ house to eat and drink, and even told them about their quarrels.

It’s undeniable that immature men can create more conflicts in marriage. For a while, Yingzi discovered that her mother-in-law was posting pictures of another girl on social media, with a tone of admiration and boasting.

Later, Yingzi realized that her mother-in-law had been persuading Dabing to divorce her and find someone else. When Yingzi confronted Dabing, he said she was being paranoid and didn’t want to let her live in peace.

The two of them had been married for over a year, constantly quarreling and arguing. With her mother-in-law’s constant meddling and Dabing’s lack of cooperation, life was unbearable. Yingzi’s heart was cold to the extreme, and she finally divorced Dabing.

She was heartbroken and returned to her parents’ house, only to discover that their house was being demolished, and the compensation money was enough for them to buy a new house.

Unfortunately, love had become a thing of the past. Yingzi accidentally saw her mother-in-law’s post: “My son finally got divorced, and I’m so happy!”

Seeing this, Yingzi was extremely angry. For over a year, she had tried her best to please her in-laws, but not only did they not show any empathy, but they were also celebrating her divorce.

However, what’s the use of being angry? Yingzi realized that life must go on. She and her parents bought a new house, and she posted on social media: “Living comfortably in my own house, not having to care about others’ faces, that’s the best life.”

Unexpectedly, Dabing called her the next day, saying that the divorce was just an impulsive decision and hoping she would forgive him.

Yingzi laughed coldly. After their divorce, her mother-in-law not only didn’t get the daughter-in-law she wanted, but she was also ridiculed by others.

It turned out that the girl her mother-in-law had found for Dabing was not only asking for a dowry but also a house, and her own house was her pre-marital property, so her mother-in-law had no right to interfere.

Her mother-in-law regretted her actions and advised Dabing to reconcile with Yingzi.

Before, Yingzi thought that love was just between two people, but after this marriage, she realized that marrying an immature man would make life difficult.

Love is just an idealized state, and in reality, it’s not enough to rely solely on love. Especially when entering marriage, it requires the joint efforts of both parties to make it work.

In reality, she was the only one running forward in the marriage. When encountering difficulties, Dabing would either avoid them or think she was thinking too much and wouldn’t take responsibility.

The conflicts between her and her mother-in-law, if Dabing could have faced them directly and persuaded his mother not to interfere with their lives, maybe Yingzi wouldn’t have been so heartbroken and wouldn’t have lost faith in the future.

It seemed that this marriage was wrong from the start. One person’s unconditional sacrifice was met with the other person’s increasing demands, and the responsibility was always pushed onto her.

Fortunately, Yingzi realized this and terminated the marriage in time.

It was also through this failed marriage that she realized that marriage wasn’t the only way out for women, and that she had thought wrong from the start. Women need to live their true selves, and only then can they not lose themselves in the future.
