Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

[There are other loans as well, which, with interest compounded, amount to a total of 800,000.]

Hearing this news, I almost fainted. We had already spent all our savings and borrowed over 200,000 yuan to treat my mother-in-law's illness.

We bought the house with a down payment, and we still have over 400,000 yuan in mortgage payments, so the financial pressure was already considerable.

Now, all our external debts and loans add up to a whopping 1.5 million... This is an astronomical figure for our family.

In a small county town, owing this much money means you'll never be able to pay it off in your lifetime.

I went to Yujing Hospital to check, and found that my wife's money had indeed been spent on her medical treatment.

However, my wife didn't choose the conventional treatment recommended by the doctor. Following the conventional treatment plan, after medical insurance reimbursement, the cost we had to pay out of pocket wouldn't exceed 200,000 yuan, which is quite reasonable.

[But my wife lost her mind and chose to use many expensive imported original drugs; chemotherapy and targeted therapy are extremely costly.]

I remember this incident. The doctor said that the expensive treatment wouldn't save the patient's life; at best, it would prolong her life, and the patient would suffer greatly. We decided that we didn't have the financial means, and besides, it would be inhumane to let my mother-in-law suffer in her final stages.

[I never imagined my wife would be so reckless, secretly taking out a loan to pay for my mother-in-law's medical treatment without my knowledge.]

I understand my wife's feelings, but in the end, my mother-in-law couldn't be saved, and we were left with such a huge debt.

To be honest, my wife is quite outstanding. She's an excellent teacher and a top-notch homeroom teacher in our county. She's conscientious and responsible in her work, and also very independent.

Her only flaw is that she's very stubborn and self-centered. She can't tolerate anyone's opinions, no matter what she does. Even if it's clearly wrong, if she's going to do it, no one can dissuade her.

In life, I can only praise her. If I point out any mistake she makes, she'll get angry.

In the past, I always tried to give in as much as possible. My parents also advised me to be more tolerant. She's a teacher, with a stable income and a substantial pension in the future... A teacher's pension is astonishing in the eyes of the working class in a small county.

I also believe that as long as we live our lives well, we will have a good life in the future.

But this unexpected turn of events destroyed everything. The debt collectors even came to our workplaces, making it impossible for us to go to work.

We're currently 1.5 million yuan in debt, an amount we could never earn in a lifetime. What's worse, the 800,000 yuan in her name has very high interest rates, and with compounding interest... who knows how much it will balloon to in the future?

I never imagined my wife would get into such a mess. I really want to divorce her. But besides me, she has no other family.

My wife comes from a single-parent family. Her mother raised her alone after the divorce and had no contact with her father for many years, nor did she allow her to contact him. They don't even have a way to communicate.

Her mother also had a somewhat stubborn personality and cut off all ties with her wife's relatives.

My wife is most grateful to her mother. Whenever she talks about how her mother raised her from childhood, never remarried, and single-handedly, she can't help but tear up.

Now, her mother is dead. She owes so much money. If I divorce her, given her obsessive personality, I'm afraid she might do something drastic.

Lately, I've been completely stunned; my life is utterly ruined.

Even if I wanted to forgive my wife, I couldn't handle this debt even if I sold myself. And my wife still doesn't think she did anything wrong. Whenever I bring it up, she retorts, asking if she should watch her mother die? If she should stand by and watch her loved ones die? She says I can be heartless, but she can't!

I feel like she's using moral blackmail, but I can't convince her otherwise.

The key issue is that we still have our son. If we divorce and his mother takes drastic measures, what will happen to our son?

I feel like I'm in a dilemma right now, and I can't see a way forward. If anyone can give me some advice and help me find a way out, I will be grateful to them for the rest of my life.

[P.S.: My wife has recently been thinking about starting her own business. She believes that if she makes money, she can turn her life around. I know that given her stubborn personality, once she brings up this idea, it means she's made up her mind, and nothing can change her mind.]

[Task requirement: Give your saintly husband some advice.]

[Task Reward: A thank you from the saintly husband Zhao Kangning.]

"There are no wrong code names, only wrong names... Holy husband, you really are a saint."

As Zhao Hongan read this story, he felt a surge of energy rising in his chest.

That's infuriating!

"What your wife is doing isn't out of love for your mother, it's cruelty towards you!"

"Your wife is not only paranoid, she's also a gambler, a complete and utter gambler!"

"You yourself are a prisoner, a complete and utter prisoner! What's even more ridiculous is that you are imprisoning yourself!"

"Cancer is terrible. But if you follow the treatment guidelines, the total cost after reimbursement will be less than 200,000 yuan, which is already the limit that an average family can afford."

"There are many other random treatment options, with no upper limit to the cost. Not to mention hundreds of thousands, even millions or tens of millions can be spent... In the end, there is still no guarantee of curing the disease."

"Not knowing how to act within one's capabilities is cruel to one's loved ones."

"Just get a divorce, don't bother with this selfish person."

"Your wife is obsessive, maybe only towards you. She's also taking advantage of you. She knows you too well, knows you can't bear to divorce her, so she dares to gamble and act recklessly. If you don't give up on her even after all this, she'll have you wrapped around her finger for life."

"Brother Tongzi, please relay all of the above to Zhao Kangning."

After Zhao Hongan finished speaking in one breath, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more comfortable and at ease.

As for Zhao Kangning's final choice...

Zhao Hongan didn't care about anything else.

He said what he needed to say and gave the reminders he needed to give.

The reasoning has been explained.

Knowing all this, if Zhao Kangning still refuses to give up...

He deserved to be taken advantage of, deserved to spend the rest of his life in torment and pressure, and deserved to contract an illness early and end his life due to heavy economic pressure, psychological burden, and inner turmoil...

That's just how reality is; good people don't necessarily live long, because they are more prone to inner conflict and more easily bound by moral constraints.

Only those who are free from moral constraints, psychological pressure, and have a cheerful disposition are less likely to get sick and more likely to live long lives; this has nothing to do with whether someone is good or bad.
