For three years of marriage, my wife said she wanted to focus on her career, refusing to have children.

Although I deeply longed for a child, I respected my wife's wishes.

Over a year ago, she suddenly said she needed to go abroad on a business trip, making all sorts of excuses to prevent me from seeing her.

During this time, I might as well have been single or widowed.

By chance, I discovered that my wife had a former lover of three years - a "pure love."

However, that "pure love" had latched onto a wealthy older woman and dumped my wife.

I met my wife Vivienne through a matchmaking service. She was exactly my type.

After spending some time together, we fell in love and got married soon after.

At our wedding, I did everything I could to give my wife a grand ceremony.

My wife's colleagues and boss attended. My mother-in-law was unusually friendly with my wife's boss.
