And i think the reason why this fictional story affects us so much that we cry is because these things happens in reality and we can relate to it.
I just hope all the cheaters in the world suffers till they die
I think I'm gonna cry less with the next few chapters because he's finally leaving. There might be something better now than all the crap he went through until then.
Exactly.. it happens everywhere and the victims usually choose to continue staying with the cheaters more often than not. I think these sad stories really affect us coz we are so invested in them and start projecting on them. It’s just effing sad.. I knew reading it will ruin my next few days but I still went ahead and read it.. I don’t regret reading it but it just hurts.
I am just annoyed it took him so long to leave the prick. He should have left him the moment he realised he was being cheated on.. he enabled the cheater to continue cheating on him.. I wish I could smack some sense into him.
And not to spoil your reading experience... it gets worse from here. If you think ur tapped out crying... you are wrong.. get ready for bucket loads of tears.
Zhishu is the definition of a doormat
I know people like that who let their spouse abuse them like this and stay. I hate these people more than the abusers themselves. They are the ones you see dead in the news too. Good riddance.
I call these people.. enablers.. when your partner cheats on you and you in return create an excuse for them as to why they cheated on you and that it was one time thing and won’t happen again? These people are more often scared to walk out.. imaging a life that wasn’t the way they have lived until then is scary. I sympathise with them but they have to help themselves .. there no knight in shining armour in real life. You have to be your own knight.
Exactly. These people are just deluded. They don't value themselves enough and are weak.
Like when bullies abuse their victims . It's the same principle.
You hit the nail on the head.. it’s mostly low self worth.
Same here! I was pretty much screaming at him saying "you masochist!" But yeah ..
You serious? It's gonna get worse...? ^getting buckets ready^
Masochist? That's what I thought at first. But then when he got slapped, I knew Zhishu has SERIOUS problem.
Yea it does.. zhishu does leave him but he belongs to that category of people that suffer willingly rather than push themselves to move on. Breaking up is difficult for most people that are in love... but zhishu makes us want to believe that it’s the end of the world. He continues to be in love with the prick and I am sure that doesn’t help him. I haven’t read the raw’s but read some of the comments that mention his situation. Having low self worth and no mind control... we as readers suffer watching zhishu as much as he does. My only solace, the asshat gets what he deserves in the end.. a fucked up existence.
I understand why zhishu is finally leaving after struggling with his decision for so long. He was already on the edge with wenxu’s violence & cheating but he was pushed over when zhishu realised that the 10yrs they spent together, most likely meant nothing to wenxu. He was able to live with wenxu thinking wenxu’s love for him was genuine in the past. But that illusion shattered when wenxu’s didn’t care much about the ring which for zhishu represented the love they shared over the years.
I am glad that zhishu is finally leaving coz he showered his love on an undeserving person. And you should always walk out of such a relationship no matter how hard it is to break it up. A cheater will always be a cheater no matter how much they argue against it. And all cheaters are master manipulators. You can only be satisfied with the fact that your love was genuine. It might have been wasted on an unworthy person but your feelings were of the right kind. What the other person does with those feeling is something we have no control over.. but hold your head high with confidence and walk out. We can only uphold our self respect. And trust me... it takes more courage to walk out than to continue in this make believe relationship.
I had read the comments before venturing into this as the tag said tragedy.. thinking I will steel myself for what’s coming, but it doesn’t help. It wrenches your heart for the conditions zhishu is subjected to. Your heart will bleed and there won’t be enough tears for you to cry.. the sadness just envelopes you and you feel helpless.. wanting to help someway. It’s amazing how a fictional story can tug at your heart strings so much. Keep tissues handy before you start reading.. and better still if you succumb to episodes of depression or sadness.... stay away.
