Continuing from last time. I (Mio) am a mother in my 30s with a 2-year-old son. My husband (Ryuji) is also in his 30s. Feeling unwell when I returned to my in-laws’ place, I ended up tempting my brother-in-law (Hiroaki, 30 years old) as if he was the opposite sex. I thought his wife (Tomoko, 30 years old) didn’t know, but my mother-in-law urged her to apologize. I apologized, but my sister-in-law said, “I won’t forgive you.” It was all because of Ryuji, who had a mental breakdown due to the poor relationships at work. I am also a victim.
I have always had a strong desire to get married. Since I couldn’t find the right person, I met Ryuji at a marriage hunting event.
Until I met Ryuji, I only dated people who were fun, mischievous, and the life of the party. My previous boyfriends were all fun people, but they often cheated or were just players. When I started thinking about marriage, dating someone like Ryuji, who is serious and calm, felt fresh.
After getting married, Ryuji’s relationships at work became tense, and troubles increased. The birth of our son seemed to be a turning point for Ryuji. However, he did not fully recover.
Ryuji is naturally reserved and not an interesting person. The already dark house becomes gloomy everyday because of Ryuji. Yet, I can’t divorce now with a child and no job, even if I want to escape.
When I was first introduced to my brother-in-law, I was disappointed and said so.
It’s the worst situation when my mother-in-law tells me to apologize to my sister-in-law. It’s even worse because Ryuji doesn’t know.
I once sent an apology email to my sister-in-law, thinking I had to apologize, but I received a reply that seemed like a threat because she couldn’t suppress her anger.
I felt like I had no one on my side. Even after Ryuji’s health deteriorated, my mother-in-law called to ask if he was okay, but she never showed any concern or praise for me. It’s clear that she only cares about her son. I can’t help but feel frustrated with my sister-in-law, who won’t forgive me, and my brother-in-law trying to keep his distance.
If I had the money, I would divorce Ryuji! That’s what I thought.
