Family is originally a place to return to, a peaceful place after the storms of life. But for Ms. Phuong Anh (Ba Dinh, Hanoi), it was there that she became the focus of tears and injuries.
Just because of a fabricated statement from her sister-in-law - who was once close and intimate - her happiness that she had worked hard to nurture for many years suddenly faced the risk of breaking up.
From a loving husband, he gradually became suspicious, skeptical and eventually caused trouble with her because of unreasonable things that did not exist at all.
Ms. Phuong Anh and her husband have been married for more than 6 years and were once known as an admirable couple with a rather peaceful married life. However, everything started to crack when her sister-in-law moved to live with her family after graduating from college. She kept giving vague words, spreading doubts around her.
At first, it was just a suggestion such as: "You're too dressed for a walk", "Why do you text at night?", "I see a strange man bringing you to dinner"...
But gradually, her sister-in-law stopped at jokes, but blatantly slandered her for cheating. She fabricated that she had seen her with a strange man, then resorted to baseless rumors from neighbors to convince her husband that "the bride is a couple".
What makes Ms. Phuong Anh even more heartbroken is that her husband completely believes his sister's words, without any evidence or obstacles.
He changed every day: cold, controlled the phone, banned her from going out, even thought that she was just pretending to cry. Every time she opened her explanation, he grumbled: "My sister said, she never lies".
Ms. Phuong Anh felt like being pushed into the role of a guilty person, even though she had never done anything wrong. The biggest pain is not slander, but the fact that your partner easily turns his back for 6 years, placing all his blind trust in others.
The home that she has been nurturing every day has become stuffy, filled with skepticism, consideration and lack of listening.
She had thought about divorce. Not because she no longer loves him, but because she cannot continue to live in a relationship without trust. Because if just one lie can make people turn their backs, does love have a place to exist?
