The ex-husband went bankrupt and owed 300,000. The wife was determined to divorce him. Half a year later, her mother-in-law revealed the whole story, and she burst into tears.

When I heard the truth of the matter, I cried loudly. It was not until the facts were laid out before me that I understood that all of this had been planned and arranged long in advance. But by the time I understood, it was already too late. Everything could no longer be turned back. If I had known half a year earlier that things would turn out like this, the decision I made would definitely have been different from the one now.

My ex-husband and I fell in love freely, and we had a very good relationship. We met in university, and after that the two of us stayed together for many years and were never apart. The economic situations of both our families of origin were not very good, but even during the most difficult period of his entrepreneurship, he never let me suffer at all. At that time I always wanted to do something to help him, but he only said to me: "You are my wife. I married you so that you could enjoy a good life. These things are enough with me here. You only need to stay at home with peace of mind."

At first we also went through several years of hardship. Later, his career got on track and he made more and more money. From that time on, I never worked a single day again and just stayed at home as a full-time housewife. Every day I only needed to cook and clean. Because I had not had a child, my life was very relaxed and I had no pressure. In the past, some classmates even laughed at me, saying that I was pretty and could completely find someone with better conditions in every way, and that I did not need to endure such hardship. Later, when they saw that I had married for love and had also gained economic abundance, they turned around and envied me, saying that I had a good fate and was good at judging people and so on.

But after I gave birth to our child and focused on taking care of him at home, my ex-husband went through a period half a year ago when he easily became irritable and often lost his temper at me for no reason. At first I thought it was because he was tired from being busy with his career, but after it happened many times, I also became angry, because I had never seen him treat me like that. Only after asking did I learn that there had been problems in his business. He said he had gone bankrupt and owed 300,000. I patiently comforted him, saying that our whole family could get through the hard times together as before, but he still gave up on himself and often lost his temper. It was one thing for him to yell at me, but when I saw that our child was also frightened into loud crying by him for no reason, I became so angry that I proposed divorce, thinking it would scare him and make him change from then on. Unexpectedly, he agreed immediately without even frowning. I was caught in a dilemma and could only gamble to the end, and so I divorced him. But he was still fairly conscientious and gave me all the money in the household.

During this period, I lived at my parents' home with the child, thinking that when he was a little older, I would also have to go out and find a job. After all, I could not live at my parents' home forever, and besides, when the child grew up he would need to go to school. But half a year later, my mother-in-law found me and gave me the house. She said she was not used to staying in the city by herself, and now she wanted to return to her hometown to live with my younger brother-in-law and his family. When I heard this, I felt it was quite strange. What about my ex-husband? Why was he not taking care of my mother-in-law? Only after asking did I learn that my ex-husband had not actually gone bankrupt at that time, but had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and did not have many days left, so he deliberately put on that act to drive me away, simply because he did not want to drag me down.

When I heard this news, I burst into tears. This man had tolerated me for so many years, and in the end he waved goodbye to me in such a way, while I had not noticed anything at all and was still complaining about him. Our child did not even get to see his father one last time. Everyone, tell me, how foolish was he?
