Dies ist eine fiktive Geschichte, aber vielleicht regt sie den einen oder den anderen zum nachdenken an.
Vielleicht befindest du dich auch in einer ähnlichen Situation.
Meine Frau schlief im Schlafzimmer. Ich verbrachte noch eine Zeit im Wohnzimmer an meinem Computer, weil ich nicht schlafen konnte. Plötzlich bekam ich eine Benachrichtigung auf Facebook. Eine Frau hatte mir eine Freundschaftsanfrage geschickt.
Es war eine Ex-Freundin aus meiner Vergangenheit.
Auf ihrem Profilbild sah sie wunderschön aus, es sah aber doch sehr nach einem KI-Bildchen oder einem Snapchat Filter oder ähnlichem aus.
Ich schloss den Browser, stand auf und ging in Richtung Schlafzimmer zu meiner Frau.
Sie schlief tief und fest. Während ich sie ansah, dachte ich an all die Dinge die wir gemeinsam durchlebt hatten.
Jedes Hoch und jedes Tief. Die Tage an denen sie mich in den Wahnsinn trieb, aber auch an die schönen Tage die wir gemeinsam hatten.
Ich versuchte mich in sie hineinzuversetzen, und versuchte mir vorzustellen, wie sicher sie sich fühlen musste, um so friedlich schlafen zu können.
All diese Gedanken gingen mir durch den Kopf. Ich ging leise zurück ins Wohnzimmer und öffnete Facebook erneut. Ich lehnte die Anfrage die ich bekommen hatte ab, danach ging ich auf das Profil der Frau die mir diese Anfrage geschickt hatte und blockierte sie.
Anschließend fuhr ich meinen PC herunter und ging erneut ins Schlafzimmer um zu schlafen. Ich drehte mich zu meiner Frau, gab ihr einen Kuss auf die Stirn und schlief neben ihr ein. Du fragst dich sicherlich warum ich dieser Frau nicht geantwortet habe oder warum ich sie direkt blockiert habe, trotzdem wir uns kannten und eine gemeinsame Vergangenheit hatten.
Lass mich dir folgendes dazu sagen: Ich bin ein Mann und kein Kind. Ich habe meiner Frau die Treue geschworen als ich sie heiratete und dabei wird es bleiben. Ich werde mein Leben lang dafür kämpfen, ein Mann zu sein, der seine Frau nicht betrügt und seine Familie, mag sie noch so klein sein, nicht zerstört.
Denn sie hat mir so viel gegeben und das setze ich für nichts und niemanden aufs Spiel. Egal ob es jemand aus der Vergangenheit ist oder jemand neues den ich nicht kenne. Es mag Zeiten geben, da wirkt die Beziehung oder die Ehe "eingeschlafen", aber das ist noch lange kein Freifahrtschein um sich nach etwas anderem umzusehen. Dies gilt für beide Seiten.
Wenn dir nicht mehr der Sinn nach deinem Partner oder deiner Partnerin steht, trenn dich.
Das zeugt von Charakter und Rückgrat.
english:
This is a fictional story, but perhaps it may give some people something to think about.
Maybe you even find yourself in a similar situation.
My wife was asleep in the bedroom. I was still sitting in the living room at my computer because I couldn't sleep.
Suddenly, I received a notification on Facebook. A woman had sent me a friend request.
She was an ex-girlfriend from my past. In her profile picture she looked beautiful, although it very much looked like an AI-generated image or a Snapchat filter, or something similar.
I closed the browser, got up, and walked toward the bedroom where my wife was sleeping. She was fast asleep.
As I looked at her, I thought about everything we had been through together. Every high and every low. The days when she drove me crazy, but also the countless good days we had shared.
I tried to put myself in her shoes and imagine how safe she must feel to be able to sleep so peacefully.
All these thoughts went through my mind.
I quietly walked back into the living room and opened Facebook again. I declined the friend request I had received. Then I went to the woman's profile and blocked her.
Afterward, I shut down my PC and returned to the bedroom to go to sleep. I turned toward my wife, kissed her on the forehead, and fell asleep beside her.
You're probably wondering why I didn't reply to that woman, or why I blocked her immediately even though we knew each other and shared a past.
Let me tell you this:
I am a man, not a child. I swore to be faithful to my wife when I married her, and that is how it will remain.
I will spend my entire life striving to be a man who does not betray his wife and does not destroy his family, no matter how small that family may be.
She has given me so much, and I will not risk that for anyone or anything. It doesn't matter whether it's someone from my past or someone new that I have never met.
There may be times when a relationship or a marriage feels as if it has grown stale, but that is not a free pass to start looking for something else.
This applies to both sides.
If your heart is no longer with your partner, then end the relationship.
That takes character. That takes integrity.

Amazing image and very powerful words. Tugged a heart string... for many reasons.. that I won't bore you with, I ended a long term relationship and since then, by choice have been alone. I am so glad that you and your wife have that relationship that most of us hope for. My Grandparents were together for 70 years lol
I don't see it as boring at all. I actually think it's nice when people can have conversations in the comments under the images that are posted here. In the end, the topic doesn't really matter, does it?
Of course it's great to receive kind comments and positive feedback on your artwork, but I also think it's refreshing to talk about everyday things. Sometimes it can get a bit repetitive or feel generic when the comments are just things like, "Keep it up," or "Great picture, I'd love to see more." Those comments are appreciated too, don't get me wrong, but having a real conversation every now and then makes it much more enjoyable.
The exchanges we've been having here since the beginning actually remind me of when I first started creating renders.
And the fact that you decided to live on your own is completely okay. As long as it makes you happy and you can honestly say that you don't feel like anything is missing from your life, then that's all that matters.
I lived on my own for seven years as well. It was a great time, but deep down I always felt like something was missing.
Then my wife came along.
Der Render an sich ist schon klasse, durch die Geschichte wurde alles perfekt und somit ein Fav :)
