When Wei Xin returned home, the dull atmosphere had a sense of "post war" stillness. My mother sat in the living room staring blankly at the TV, while my wife locked herself in the room.
The old mother glanced at her son, turned off the TV, and walked slowly back into the room. Wei Xin clearly heard his mother's sigh as she turned around. He arrived in the bedroom, his wife was sobbing and saw that her husband had returned without any reaction. She just turned her back to him. Wei Xin knew that his wife and mother had another dispute over certain matters.
Filial piety comes first, but Wei Xin did not comfort his wife. He criticized her in a stern tone, which has been a frequent occurrence since marriage. The wife silently let her husband scold her. Wei Xin's intention was obvious. It was just formalism. The old mother must be able to hear the loud scolding. When she knew her son was on her side, she would be discouraged.
After scolding, Wei Xin came to his mother's house to please her. Upon hearing his son scolding his wife just now, the old mother was very proud. Just as Wei Xin, the filial son, was chatting with his mother, the heavy sound of the door closing interrupted them. My mother was a bit angry, and Wei Xin also felt that his "efforts" were in vain. When he arrived in the living room, his wife was nowhere to be found. There was a white paper on the table with five big words printed on it: divorce agreement.
At this moment, Wei Xin received a text message from his wife, which was very simple: 'You live with your mother, I've had enough of these days.'. Wei Xin was at a loss and stared at the agreement in a daze
Discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can disrupt marital relationships
The mother-in-law daughter-in-law relationship is a difficult problem that most couples face after marriage. In this complex relationship, there are no winners.
Due to the fact that mother-in-law has much more life experience than daughter-in-law, they always like to impose their own attitude and way of doing things on their younger generation. And with different eras, everyone's living environment is different, and their ways of thinking and handling things are even more different. As a result, the thoughts of the daughter-in-law often collide with the mother-in-law, resulting in frequent friction between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. At this point, the husband, as the intermediary, often does not know how to handle it, and some husbands who follow the principle of filial piety will put their mother first, without asking about the cause, process, or outcome of the matter, blindly shifting the responsibility to their wife. As a result, the couple's emotions will gradually become indifferent, leading to separation.
As the saying goes, to untie the bell, one needs to tie the bell. The war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leaves men at a loss, but how to solve the problem of a good mother and daughter-in-law requires appropriate methods. If not handled properly, it can easily lead to family disharmony and even marital breakdown.
