Thinking back to my past with Lily Davis, I have mixed feelings. She and I are five years apart in age and we used to work in the same company. I was a designer and she was a receptionist.

As the face of the company, she is young and beautiful, which naturally attracted many suitors. I overcame many difficulties and finally won her heart with sincerity and a little bit of luck.

During the two years of love, I devoted myself to her, accommodated her in every way, and almost responded to her requests. She said that work was too tiring, so I asked her to quit her job and take part-time online orders to make money to support the family. She said she liked shopping, so I would take her to the mall every weekend, and buy anything she liked without being stingy. She said she liked camping, so I spent money to buy a full set of equipment and offered to go with her.

However, she refused, saying that it was fine to have a best friend accompany her. I was too tired from work and not in good health, so it was better to rest at home. I agreed, but it was not until I saw her get on a red SUV yesterday that I realized that the so-called best friend was actually a man.

I felt like a stone was blocking my chest at the time, and I felt uncomfortable all over. When I called to question her, she said that a male best friend is also a best friend, Tom is like her own brother, and the relationship between them is pure. Moreover, we sleep in separate tents, and it is not the first or second time, so what is the problem?

I was speechless and had to hang up the phone helplessly. I also comforted myself by saying that Lily Davis was a good girl and she just liked camping, what could be wrong with that?

Now it seems that I was too naive and didn't understand human nature at all. There may be pure friendship between men and women, but in some cases it may just be a self-deception.

Even if Lily Davis admits her mistake and cuts off contact with Tom , I will not marry her again. Because there is only one time and countless times of cheating, and the white paper stained by ink will never be as pure as before.

After I told my parents about this, they expressed their understanding and support, and reminded me to be careful when choosing a girlfriend in the future and not to only focus on appearance and figure, because character is actually the most important.
