Off-Topic Re: Article on MLC

Thanks for sharing this great article. Sometimes, I feel extremly lonely and think I am the only one going through this kind of miserable journey seeing my once caring and loving husband slipping away everyday and becoming someone whom I don’t know anymore 😭

I was at my friend’s place having a chat during which time her husband called to let her know that he just landed in Beijing.  This kind of small act to me is a luxury these days.

I had a dinner with a friend of mine last week and she brought her husband along. Seeing them chatting and laughing casually, I wonder when I would have fun time with my husband again.

Life is so hard.

Hey renqing I know how you feel. It’s not so much the husband leaving it’s more the damage to my little girl and that we have missed out on so much family time. He’s missed her growing up. Do you live in Asia?

I am living in China. Divorce rate is going up every year and mid aged men chasing after younger women becomes an epidemic phenomenon for in a shallow way it is an indication of success and manhood.

Renqing - I used to live in Hong Kong. My favorite place but it’s just too expensive to live there.
