I’m the only child in my family. My parents have always been strict, not allowing me to date early. So even in college, I never dated anyone. After graduation, I was busy with work, so my love life was put on hold.
I met my husband through a friend. By the time we were together, I was already 25. Although he was only a year older, he had a much more extensive dating history, about four ex-girlfriends. Fortunately, he was sincere and explained everything to me.
I’m a quite conservative girl. I insisted on saving my most precious gift for our wedding night. I felt it was my responsibility to my future husband and to myself.
So, during the year we were together, I never crossed that line. This caused many arguments between us, with my husband saying I was old-fashioned and couldn’t keep up with the times. But no matter what, I stuck to my principles.
Our wedding was grand, held at the most luxurious hotel in town, with many friends and family in attendance. It was lively, and I thought my marriage would surely be happy. However, I didn’t expect our wedding night to be spent in groundless suspicion.
After everyone had left that night and we were both tired, my husband was still enthusiastic. I knew what he was expecting. Since the day had arrived, I didn’t have any reason to stop him, so I went along with it.
Afterward, my husband looked at me puzzled and said, “How could you still be a virgin? I thought you were lying to me. You’re 25, how could you not have had sex before?”
I was about to explain when he smirked and said, “Well, nowadays, it’s so easy to have your virginity restored with the technology for hymen reconstruction.”
I was furious when I heard this. I asked him what he meant and how he could doubt me. He chuckled and said he was just kidding, and besides, he didn’t mind.
After hearing that, I felt wronged and argued with him. As a result, he got angry and accused me of being ashamed of being caught.
I was so upset that I almost fainted. On our wedding night, he actually said these things to me. I cried in anger, but he ignored me and went to sleep alone.
For the next few days, we were at odds with each other, and he kept mocking me, saying I was uptight and couldn’t take a joke, and that my future with him would be dull and boring.
I told him that if that was the case, we should get a divorce. As soon as I mentioned divorce, he fell silent.
Our honeymoon period, and our life together, turned out like this. Can we still go on?
