It's getting worse.
I feel like I'm falling apart: mentally foggy, the once harmonious marital life has become difficult, and most importantly, I feel like Jiang Xiaoli is drifting away from me.
Back then, I was a poor college student from the countryside, while her father was the deputy director of the Jinan Evening News supplement department, and her mother was the vice president of Jinan University. It was only because I was employed by the Jinan City government after graduating from Jiang City University that her family would even consider me.
In the years since we got married, the reason we have been able to treat each other with respect and equality is because I have the support of the deputy mayor and the executive vice mayor.
During the years I worked as a secretary for Mayor Zou, I was always busy following him around. My in-laws would call me whenever there was good food or a gathering at their house (even though they knew most of the time I didn't have time to attend). Now it's different. Even though they know I'm bored every day at the Medical College, they didn't even notify me when my mother-in-law's birthday came around.
The atmosphere at home is changing. Before, Jiang Xiaoli never asked me to do any housework, but ever since I transferred to Medical College, she gradually started to leave all the grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, and other chores to me, and her attitude has been getting worse and worse.
Most importantly, Jiang Xiaoli has been coming home later and later at night, and she always dresses up with heavy makeup. Eventually, she doesn't come home all night, and her clothes smell like smoke and alcohol... and I don't even dare to ask about it!
Even my spirit has withered.

Every morning, I get up to cook for my son, then ride an electric bike to take him to school. In the evening, I pick him up, cook for him, and help him with his homework. I forcefully suppress the anger and humiliation in my heart. If I lose my career and my family falls apart, will my life be over?
The more you fear, the more it comes.
That day, I picked up my son and found that Jiang Xiaoli, who usually comes home late, was actually at home. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower, wearing a cool little camisole sitting there drinking tea. My son urgently needed to use the bathroom, but she stopped him: "There's an uncle inside, you wait a moment."
The bathroom door opened, and her bank president Jia Huairen came out, wearing my bathrobe. There's nothing more damning than this!
Jiang Xiaoli gave me an ultimatum: "As long as you agree to divorce, the house and our son Mao Mao will be yours, and I will pay 2000 yuan in child support every month! If you don't agree, we'll drag this out, and I don't mind letting the whole world know what a despicable person you are!"
Our son said, "Dad, just get divorced." Then he turned and ran into the house, slamming the door shut, but I could still hear his sobbing.
During that time, I felt like a snail, trying to curl up and hide, not going out or standing up for myself.
At my son's request, I transferred him to our hometown in Annan County to live with his grandparents. Brother Xiong drove us and arranged everything. Tears welled up in my son's eyes as he waved his fists at me, saying, "Dad, you're the best, go for it!" I fist-bumped him back, but couldn't help but cry as I turned away.
Jiang Xiaoli quit her job at the bank and went to work for Jinding Group, the largest real estate developer in Jiangbei Province. It seems she's an office deputy director, reportedly earning a monthly salary of over 20,000. Her husband, Jia Huairen, made it happen.
My heart feels sour, but all I can say is: Who cares!
