Today I saw a letter to Anne's Box on Gazette. This woman complained that she was in deep depress after she found that her beloved honest husband has been keeping in touch with a single-mom 700 miles away from her home. This woman used to work for her husband as secretary and called her husband "sweetie" in the e-mails. Although her husband never replied this ex-secretary in any twisted words, she was horrified to find out this relationship especially to see the ex-sec coming to town for a meeting with her husband.
I have no idea about this kind of family situation. It maybe a very regular thing in China too. Yet, I found it is not worthy to deal with a family member like this. A family is a safe habour, one can hide in the habour anytime s/he needs a rest and refresh. Tricks do not belong here. In those Chinese media I am familiar with, there is no such a column to teach people how to deal real-life issue. Maybe this is why I think the story is a Western housewife's typical life, not a Chinese one.
