Love Affair: A Psychological Perspective on Extramarital Affairs

Chapter 23 Extramarital Affair Syndrome (9)
Ye Xin restrained her anger and disgust and continued to look down.The letter also said that Ye Xin lied to other people's wives to live with him, and now rented a room in a certain apartment and lived there like a couple.It has already led to the collapse of the woman's family, and the honest and honest husband has suffered great physical and mental injuries, etc., etc.Finally, "Such a shameless person, your company has entrusted you with an important position, and you have a lot of trust. It cannot but make people question your company's business attitude. Please find out the responsibility of the person involved. If not, my author will return There will be further action," concluded the full text.

After reading the letter, just as Ye Xin raised his head, the director immediately left his seat and sat on the sofa opposite Ye Xin.Ye Xin and other directors sat down, lowered their heads and said, "I'm very sorry."

Sending a letter with this kind of content to the company's boss, no matter what, I can only blame myself for being careless, because it is really inappropriate for such a boring thing to disturb the director's work.

"It was sent to me suddenly." The director seemed to be wondering why he opened the letter first, but in fact the words "from the leader in charge" were written on the envelope.

"Of course I won't listen to one-sided words," the director lit another cigarette. "Who do you think has such hatred for you?"

Instead of sending it to Ye Xin himself, but directly to the company, it explains the problem.

"Can you guess who it is?"

Ye Xin guessed one by one, the only one who knew the relationship between him and Shu Lang most clearly was Wang Yue, he would not do such a stupid thing.Other colleagues also know a little bit, but it is impossible to be so detailed, and it is not very interesting to add insult to injury to someone who has already been demoted.

"I can probably guess a little bit"

Knowing the relationship between him and Shu Lang in detail, there are only two people who may have written this kind of letter, namely his wife or Shu Lang's husband.Seeing Ye Xin's thoughtful complement, the director said: "I personally think this is a silly move, but since it was sent to the company, we can't completely ignore it."

What does this mean?Ye Xin raised her head.

The director avoided his gaze and said: "Of course this involves your private life, so it is inconvenient to interfere too much, but if the other party insists on the company expressing its attitude"

"How about it?"

"I want to hear what you think of this letter first."

"sure."

The content of this letter is vile, full of nonsense, full of malice.He can firmly deny these slanders together with Shu Lang.However, it is difficult to explain whether there is such a thing.It is pure nonsense to force the other party to have a relationship like what the letter said, but it is an indisputable fact that I have a close relationship with Shu Lang, a married woman!
"I feel it's a complete personal attack on me, a deliberate exaggeration and malicious slander."

"This kind of practice is generally for the purpose of attacking and framing the other party, so what you say makes sense."

"I absolutely did not coerce or put the other party under house arrest."

"I know that, you are not such a bold person." The director said half-sarcastically. "But it's true to have a close relationship with this woman."

Ye Xin was noncommittal.The director stubbed out the cigarette he had just smoked twice.

"After receiving this letter, I secretly found out about the situation in the company."

"About me?"

"Of course the details of the letter are confidential. It is said that you did leave home to live with her."

This must have been said by the other directors at the same time.

"right?"

Ye Xin remained silent.

Views on the same thing will vary from person to person.Ye Xin has always believed that the love between him and Shu Lang is unswerving until death, a pure love that even the gods cannot stop.However, if you look at it from another angle, it will be simply judged as improper, out-of-the-ordinary and extremely immoral behavior, coupled with despicable and exaggerated words such as seduction, lewdness, perversion, etc., and give people the impression of obscenity and filth. .He and Shu Lang always look at problems from their own standpoints, ignoring the common views.

When Ye Xin reflected on herself, the director smiled bitterly and said, "You are really lucky."

"No, it's not."

"It's amazing, I can post such a letter anytime." The director's laughter contained jealousy and teasing. "Okay, I'll leave this letter to you."

The director said and handed the envelope to Ye Xin, and after Ye Xin stuffed it into his pocket, he immediately became serious: "I have something to discuss with you, it has nothing to do with this matter, the company wants to transfer you to other departments .”

In short, with the demotion and the appearance of family estrangement, the possibility of him returning to the mainstream of the company has completely disappeared.If you feel depressed in the company, you tend to focus on your family. Ye Xin has nothing to complain about in the company, it's just that everyone found out that she lived with a woman outside.However, when colleagues in the investigation room whispered, he wondered if he was talking about himself and felt uneasy. When he saw other colleagues, he also suspected that others were talking about him.This suspicious mentality makes it more difficult for him to gain a foothold in the company, and only Shu Lang can resolve this anxiety.

You can go back to the hut in Xinzhuang, and be alone with Shu Lang, and you can ignore the common sense and ethics of the world, and immerse yourself in the world of the two of you.As long as in this world, no one will criticize him, no one will point fingers behind his back, no matter whether he is allowed to be lazy or indulge in love and lust, no one will criticize him .And because there are often women who cuddle with each other and accept him wholeheartedly, it is a natural result to stay in the room.

At the beginning of August, just before everyone was preparing for the summer vacation, Ye Xin made up her mind to walk into Chang Dong's office and told him that she was going to resign.

"What is this for?"

Chang Dong had an unbelievable expression, just seeing his astonishment, Ye Xin felt resentful.

"I'm sorry to cause trouble for the company."

Ye Xin pretended to be cautious, which made Chang Dong even more flustered.

"That's not the case. It would be great if someone as capable as you could come up with new ideas for commodity management and distribution, but..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I only know editing, and I will only get in the way there."

"Don't belittle yourself."

"No, others look down on me."

Chang Dong opened his eyes wide, Ye Xin ignored him.

"Thank you for taking care of me for a long time."

"Don't make up your mind so quickly, how about calming down for a while and thinking about it?"

"This is the result of my full consideration. In any case, please approve my resignation."

Ye Xin knew that she was very excited, but at this point, there was no way out.

He stood up, saluted, ignored the stunned Director Chang, and came out.

When she was alone in the corridor, Ye Xin let out a long breath.This is the first time, and probably the last time, to speak loudly to Chang Dong in the long office worker life.Ye Xin was intoxicated with that refreshing pleasure at the moment, but at the same time felt that she had done something irreparable.

"Oh! Forget it..."

He told himself, glanced back at the director's office, and stepped boldly towards the elevator.

When Ye Xin submitted her resignation letter to the company, great changes took place around Shu Lang.Shu Lang first asked whether her husband had written to Ye Xin's company, but there was no result.Of course, Shu Lang pressed very hard on the phone, but her husband just insisted on saying "I don't know".

"It's obvious that he did it, but he keeps pretending!"

Shu Lang was furious, but he couldn't produce evidence that he wrote it.From the motive and the content, it can be seen that it is indeed him, but the words are typed by a computer, and the handwriting cannot be recognized.Of course, it can also be traced from letter paper and envelopes, and it may be possible to figure it out, but it is not a criminal case, so doing so is too much of a fuss.

The reason why Ye Xin didn't want to pursue it any further was because even if Mr. Shu Lang was a criminal, he couldn't change the fact that he decided to resign.

"Forget it!"

Now it is Ye Xin's turn to comfort Shu Lang, but Shu Lang's anger cannot be dispelled.

"I didn't expect him to be such a despicable person."

The more Shu Lang slandered her husband, Ye Xin became more sober, and seemed to understand her husband's feelings.Although it is really despicable to write black letters, but my wife was robbed, so I lived together outside and didn't go home.It's not unreasonable to hate the other person and want to ruin his job.

"I've made up my mind this time!" Shu Lang said sure enough, "I want to divorce him!"

"Didn't he agree to divorce?"

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree, I will send him the divorce application anyway."

"Just like that..."

"If the street doesn't admit it, it won't admit it. Anyway, I just want to make it clear that I broke up with him."

Shu Lang always deals with things quickly and decisively.Since Shu Lang decided to send a divorce application, Ye Xin naturally had to make a decision.Before that, it was his wife who proposed a divorce, but he didn't respond, and the matter has been hanging around, but now it's time to settle it.

"Then I'll get a divorce too." After Ye Xin finished speaking, Shu Lang looked back at him in astonishment.

"You do not need……"

"No, it's time to make a break."

"You really want it?" Just now he said that he doesn't need to divorce, but now Shu Lang naturally smiled: "Then, both of us can be single again."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if you change your mind or have an affair."

"I'll go to the street to get the divorce application tomorrow, just sign and seal it."

"As long as I send the application, I can convey my desire to divorce."

Once Shu Lang made a decision, he acted immediately.The next day she went to the street and got back two divorce applications.

They each signed and stamped on it, sent Shu Lang's to her husband, and Ye Xin's to his wife, and the procedure was over.

Ye Xin also sent a short message to the divorce certificate.He hadn't told his wife that he was resigning, so he told his wife that he was going to resign at the end of August, apologized for the delay in signing the divorce papers, and added a line at the end--I didn't mean any harm and didn't bother you. I will treat you badly, best wishes.

As I wrote this, the long years spent with my wife reappeared before my eyes, and my eyes couldn't help but heat up, "No matter what, it's over." Ye Xin told herself, the moment she put the divorce application into the mailbox, she realized that A sense of liberation, as if a heavy load had been lifted.In this way, she got rid of the confines of the family and became a free body. The position of being a husband also disappeared, and she returned to being a single man again.

It's not that in the past I felt that the family was a heavy burden, and being a husband was very difficult.Even though it is somewhat troublesome, everyone will encounter such a small problem and it does not constitute a problem.However, now that divorce has become a reality, I no longer need to think about family and wife affairs, and suddenly feel as relaxed as a bird spreading its wings.Of course, the background of this sense of relief was also greatly influenced by quitting many years of work.

Starting tomorrow, he doesn't have to rush to work, face his boss's nasty face, and agree with non-speculative topics.From now on, he and Shu Lang go anywhere arm in arm, without worrying about anyone.

Ye Xin suddenly had a floating feeling like walking on the clouds, and was amazed that freedom was so easy to obtain.Unexpectedly, he just said resignation to his boss and sent a divorce application to his wife, so he got rid of all the shackles in this world and was able to enjoy freedom and unrestrained.

Such a simple thing, why have you never noticed it in the past?Ye Xin was amazed at her ignorance, but immediately discovered an unusual and lonely world unfolding before her eyes.Indeed, it doesn't matter what time you get up in the future, how casual you wear, or wander around anywhere.But on the other side of being able to live this kind of free and free life, it also comes at a huge price of losing company colleagues, relatives and friends, and even wives and children.

"I'm alone now..." For the first time, Ye Xin truly felt that gaining freedom was equivalent to being isolated from the world.

Shu Lang is also shrouded in isolation.She took the initiative to send a divorce application to her husband, and notified her natal mother. So far, it was indeed like her usual decisive style of acting, but the backlash immediately appeared on the surface.

According to Shu Lang, since she left home to live with Ye Xin, her mother, brother-in-law and relatives all treated her as a sinner.

"What heinous thing did I do!" Listening to Shu Lang's complaints, Ye Xin had nothing to say.

Abandoning her husband and throwing herself into the arms of another man is an unforgivable mistake for a wife, but from Shu Lang's point of view, abandoning the hypocritical marriage life and embracing true love is the act of being loyal to one's heart.From the point of view of the purity of love, Shu Lang is right, but from the point of view of worldly ethics and morality, she is an unchaste woman. "Now I have severed ties with my natal family, and I am truly alone."

Hearing Shu Lang's murmur, Ye Xin unconsciously held her hand tightly: "It's not just you..."

Ye Xin was also alone.The company decided to retire by the end of August. With the original remaining leave plus Zhongyuan holiday, he was essentially on leave.

In the midsummer heat, he lived a happy life that he hadn't experienced for a long time, but at the same time, it was also a lonely day to bid farewell to the company and family.After staying in the room with Shu Lang all day, Ye Xin realized how exhausted she was physically and mentally from the long office life.

Don't talk about night, it's morning and noon, as long as you want to sleep, you can sleep as much as you want, and occasionally sleep so badly that you forget to eat.Even so, sometimes when I suddenly opened my eyes in the morning, I thought "I have to get up early to go to work", but then reminded myself that "I can no longer go to work".

At this time, I feel the joy of freedom from the bottom of my heart, but then there will be a sense of alienation that only I am excluded from society.This feeling is intensified every morning when I look out the window and see the crowds of commuters hurrying to the station.

After all, only by following the crowd to the company can we guarantee a day's life and the safety of the family.Thinking of this, Ye Xin suddenly felt that he had lost too much.The days passed in this interweaving of leisure and anxiety.
