Classic Love Stories: Give Love a Way Out
They fell in love romantically, so deeply invested. Both said, “You are the other half of my life.”
They happily got married. Not long after, they had the fruit of their love, a beautiful and lovely daughter.
People say the seventh year of marriage is a hurdle. She had always been confident, saying she would never encounter the “seven-year itch.”
But reality was so cruel. Overnight, she became a resentful woman, telling everyone he was a jerk. Despite their happiness, he had emotionally and physically strayed, having an affair.
She followed him and found their rendezvous spot. She barged in and caught them in the act. She furiously rushed to fight the other woman, but he took the hand of his lover and left without looking back.
She was stunned, forgetting even to cry.
Three days later, he returned home and calmly proposed divorce. The reason was absurdly funny, saying they were incompatible and had no common language. She was so angry she sneered but had nothing to say. He said he was willing to leave everything behind, as long as he had his freedom. She gritted her teeth and said, “No way!”
She loved him, and they had a child. She thought he was just having a temporary fling that would soon pass. She wanted him to know she was the one who loved him the most in the world. She planned to hold on to him, hoping he would come back.
One day, while changing clothes, her phone accidentally fell to the ground. She picked it up, heart aching, to find the screen black, no information displayed.
This was a birthday gift he gave her seven years ago when they were dating. She had cherished it and never thought of replacing it.
The repairman inspected it for a long time, like handling a rare antique, and finally told her the flex cable was broken. After seven years, the phone’s parts were no longer available, and it was beyond repair.
She was full of emotions. For seven years, this small and delicate phone facilitated her communication with him, conveying countless sweet words.
Now, with the passage of time, her pure feelings and this outdated phone were both no longer suitable. Time was merciless, love had vanished. Just like this phone, it had lost its repair value.
She put the phone in its box, tears glistening, and placed it in the trash. It was like sealing away her past love, sinking it to the depths of her heart, letting it sleep forever.
She thought about her marriage with him. If a phone beyond repair should be discarded, what about a dead marriage? Was it worth holding on to?
She bought a new pink phone with a large screen, full of features, beautiful and fashionable.
She called him and said, “Let’s go through the procedures.”
That evening, they calmly separated. She went home alone, her expression serene. The pretty phone hung on her chest, reminding her that everything would start anew. She walked home lightly, feeling relieved.
Marriage is like a phone. If it has repair value, you should strive to fix it; if it no longer has a reason to exist, don’t waste time and effort maintaining it. Her calm heart knew her choice was correct. Giving love a way out also gave herself a new chance to find happiness.
