By Meiling, United States My Happy Marriage Destroyed by My Husband’s InfidelityEver since I was a child I have enjoyed watching romance series, and I had high hopes for love and marriage. I hoped that once I grew up, I would be able to spend my whole life with the person I loved, that we would never be apart, and that we would care for each other in our old age.
