Three Years After Divorce, the Man Who Wanted His Mom but Not His Wife Finally Remarried
As the old saying goes, every family has its own difficult scripture to read. When faced with marital conflicts, many families are at a loss. Marriage is not only a matter between two people but also a union between two families.
Marrying the right person can bring a woman a lifetime of happiness, but marrying the wrong person can turn marriage into a form of torture.
Recently, a friend shared her emotional story with me, and here it is:
My husband and I met through friends before we got married. I thought he was romantic, humorous, and down-to-earth, exactly the ideal type I wanted. So, we officially started dating within three months.
Back then, his parents strongly opposed our relationship, but we were deeply in love, so we ignored their objections and got married.
I thought he would treat me better after marriage, but his actions made me suffer in this marriage. He was a man who listened to his mom, and although we loved each other deeply before marriage, his attitude towards me changed 180 degrees after marriage.
Many times, his mom would scold me in front of him, and when I complained, he would tell me, “You should take responsibility as a daughter-in-law and try to get along with my mom. Don’t always pick fights at home, and you’re not a good daughter-in-law if you can’t even do that.”
Honestly, I felt very hurt after hearing his words, because the conflicts weren’t just my fault. His mom’s constant criticism also made me feel miserable in this marriage.
After marriage, he would always listen to his mom’s opinions, even when it came to decorating our home. He would discuss everything with his mom, making me feel like an outsider. He would always say his mom was difficult, but who would understand my difficulties?
We finally chose to divorce peacefully, and I initiated it, despite his attempts to persuade me to stay.
Although we didn’t contact each other after divorce, we didn’t delete each other on WeChat because of our child. Since he always listened to his mom, I decided to let him be and not interfere with his family life.
Three years after divorce, I knew he still couldn’t let go of his mom. Honestly, I was quite disgusted with this kind of life. After we divorced, he remarried recently, and although we couldn’t be friends, I sincerely wished him well and hoped he could experience what we couldn’t achieve in our marriage.

Looking back, I think it’s ridiculous. If we hadn’t been so deeply in love, we might not have even crossed paths. But now, I don’t regret the divorce, because I can pursue my own freedom better.
In reality, many people may have experienced similar situations. However, a family needs two things to be happy.
A Responsible Husband
As Goethe said, “Responsibility is doing what one loves.”
For a family, the husband plays a crucial role, as he is the lubricant in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. If a family wants to be happy, it cannot do without a man’s help.
As the core of a family, a husband should take responsibility and play his role well, making the family happier.
A Good Family Atmosphere
As Sukhomlinsky said, “Family happiness lies in our mutual care and concern.”
A family’s atmosphere represents a family’s ability and character, and a family’s education is crucial for children. To evaluate a man’s character, one should look at his original family. If a family is happy and harmonious, it can make your marriage more sustainable. If the family atmosphere is not good, your life will eventually lose happiness.
Every family has its own troubles, but no matter who we meet, we shouldn’t compromise. If we feel unhappy in our marriage, the only thing we can do is cut our losses in time.
As Qian Zhongshu said, “Marriage is a besieged city; those outside want to get in, and those inside want to get out.”
Choosing the right man and the right family can add points to your marriage. If you can’t even do that, your love won’t be happy.
