I'm devastated because my wife cheated on me, but this Tet, I still want a family.

(Dan Tri) - I know my wife has behaved unworthy of my love. But I still want to hold my children in my arms and have a family reunion during Tet.

I am 35 years old, my wife is 32. We have loved each other since we first graduated from college and started our careers. There were times when we were so financially and mentally difficult that we thought it would be difficult to keep each other, but in the end, we still had enough faith to continue together and ended up with a beautiful wedding like a dream. However, when everything seemed perfect, our marriage encountered storms.

After more than 3 years of marriage, we still have no children. My business is developing very well, as is my wife's. We do not lack money to seek treatment using the most modern methods. Whatever people tell us, we do, but still have no results.

At first it was like that, but then we agreed to let things go naturally and avoid stress and pressure. Because both husband and wife are healthy, there is no reason why we cannot have children.

In addition to the time spent on work, we traveled together and visited my uncle everywhere. And it was true that when the pressure was gone, we received the good news as we had hoped. Not only was my wife pregnant, she was also pregnant with twins. My two babies were born to the overwhelming happiness of the whole family.

I am in so much pain, I don't know whether to forgive my wife or not (Illustration: iStock).

I loved my children so much that I was willing to refuse all the fun with my siblings and friends to have time to focus on my wife and two beautiful children. However, one day my happiness suddenly shattered.

I got a text message from a woman claiming to be my wife's... wife's boyfriend's wife. You see, my wife has a boyfriend. The picture of her going into a hotel with a man who is not me is making me dizzy.

The woman also provided a screenshot of the successful money transfer message, the recipient name was my wife. The amount of money was not small, and the transfer date was also recent.

The woman said that it was the money her husband sent to my wife to raise his two children. That meant the two children were not mine. This shock completely broke me down. My wife knelt down and apologized, saying that she wanted to find her child, so she was rash and wanted to take the child from that man.

She had read and learned a lot about healthy, young couples who could not have children. But when they got together with someone else, they could get pregnant and my wife wanted to test it out secretly from me.

However, my wife insisted that it was my child. She had the test results. She had also returned the money the other person had sent her. But I could not accept her apology, so I chose to leave.

I rented an apartment to live in, temporarily avoiding my parents' knowledge. I wanted to wait until my mood stabilized, then I would file for divorce. Strangely, besides the time I spent burying myself in work, I tried dating someone to relieve my boredom, but no one could fill the void in my heart. Every night when I was alone, I missed my children and my home terribly.

Although I was still hurt and haunted by my wife’s infidelity, I missed the two beautiful children like dolls. I loved them and could hardly forget the scent of baby shower gel mixed with the scent of mother’s milk on their hair and on their tiny hands.

My wife never forgets to send me a message. Sometimes she asks about my health, says she misses me; sometimes she delivers food, tells me that her grandmother came to visit, she had to lie to me that she was on a business trip...

My wife said she was very sad. Every time she breastfed the baby, she cried and felt sorry for me. Although I never replied, she texted and sent me food every day, which touched me. Today was the same, I returned home, saw the box of frozen meat hanging on the door, I felt homesick, missed the family atmosphere.

My memory takes me back to Tet, when I was a child, it was cold outside but the house was warm with a steaming tray of rice, soft jelly-like meat, served with pickled cabbage, banh chung, pickled onions...

The year is only a few days away, and I really want to go home. I can't let this situation continue. My wife's message made me think: "The kids and I need you. I don't know how to answer my parents this Tet."

I sat there until midnight. Finally, I understood that no one else but me had to make the decision. So after 4 months of torment, suffering from betrayed trust, fear of being hurt, I finally made my own choice. Tomorrow, I will return. I want to hold my two children in my arms, to feel the true love in my heart again.

If they were my children, I don't believe I wouldn't feel that special connection. I also want to see my wife, to see if I still have enough love and strength to tolerate her?

This Tet, I also want to have a family.
