"The Bridge's Lost Dream": Although she and her lover were in love with each other, why did she still choose her husband?

Perhaps, no extramarital affair is tolerated and accepted by the world because it goes beyond the bottom line of law and morality. However, an extramarital affair in which they have missed each other for twenty-two years may have a different taste in retrospect.

Francesca, an Iowa farm woman in her forties, was sitting alone on the swing in her yard in a daze. Her husband, Richard, and their two children had not returned home. Then she meets Robert, a divorced man whom she has been obsessed with all her life. Coincidentally, Robert also fell in love at first sight with this middle-aged woman whom he met for the first time.

In love with each other, they carried their neighbors on their backs, facing each other all day long, playing and singing night after night.

But Robert came to the covered bridge just for photography, and the love he met by chance was just a touch of color in his ordinary photography career, so he would never stay too long.

So, they had to face the issue that must be discussed openly and honestly - should Francesca go with him or say goodbye to him!

Francesca said to Robert: "You already have me. If you want me to go with you, I will not hesitate, but Richard will not be able to bear it."

Although Although she was extremely affectionate in front of her newlywed lover, Francesca still rationally pointed out the key point. Her husband Richard could not bear the blow of being cheated on her anyway. Once Francesca desperately runs away with her lover, there may be two consequences: one is that Richard will not hold him accountable, but will be depressed all day long, and may even go crazy later. Then Francesca will be filled with regret and concern for her children. Spending his life in crazy longing; the other is that Richard will do his best to find them and take revenge, and at worst, they will both die. However, after thinking about it, no matter which outcome, both sides will lose. Therefore, Francesca shed tears and chose her husband.

Francesca and Robert met again shortly after saying goodbye. The way they met was that the pickup truck driven by Robert and the car driven by Richard happened to be thirty feet apart. Francesca, who was sitting in the car, of course recognized her lover at a glance and was restless. Under the strong influence of her lover, Francesca In the conflict between reluctance and her husband's incomparable love, Francesca burst into tears, while Richard, who was unaware, couldn't bear her sadness and turned on the radio to comfort her.

Eventually, Francesca resisted the urge to see Robert. Because she has a husband who loves her deeply by her side, and her children who she loves deeply behind her. After years of getting along and getting along with each other, they are all her close lovers and cannot let go. And Robert was destined to have a romantic relationship with her for only four days. There is a difference between closeness and distance, and it is natural to choose family.

Of course, those four days of love, for Francesca, may be a romance that Richard cannot give in his life. In addition, Francesca is often trapped in beautiful memories and cannot extricate herself. However, before Richard's death, apart from subscribing to National Geographic, a magazine that published Robert's photos, and leaving the table where she and Robert had dinner, she had never done any other inappropriate behavior. , not to mention trying every possible means to trace Robert's traces. Perhaps Francesca was bound by marital ethics, but Richard had never hurt her, so naturally she would not have the heart to hurt Richard. It can be seen that Francesca also loves Richard.

Marriage is not only a combination of love, but also a bundle of interests. Such was the case between Richard and Francesca. Francesca was originally just a middle school teacher living aimlessly, but Richard provided her with American citizenship full of wonderful hope. What could be more fulfilling in life? Besides, Richard loved her deeply. On the contrary, Robert could not give Francesca anything except strong enough love, especially a stable life, and this was a fatal blow to a woman. Therefore, Francesca will not give up her hard-earned American identity rashly. Therefore, love can only be sacrificed.

On the other hand, Robert is not a womanizer. He loves photography more than anything else. Otherwise, he would not stay out for a long time, stay up at night, and leave his wife alone at home to stay in an empty room, which would not lead to unwillingness. The lonely ex-wife left without saying goodbye. The reason why she has never forgotten her love for Francesca is because she didn't get it. If she got it, she might not cherish it like a treasure. His ex-wife is a good proof.

Robert is a photographer who travels around. Following him is destined to live in no fixed place. Although love is full of love, no matter how strong the love is, it will be exhausted by the endless wandering. If Francesca doesn't like wandering, she will definitely become Robert's second ex-wife. Francesca must have thought about these clearly. When it comes to big things, she still knows what's right and wrong. This extramarital affair, which lasted for twenty-two years, was like a flower without roots, destined to wither.

So, although Francesca put her girlish heart on Robert, the cowboy, she still gave all her love to her husband Richard!
