Love Vanishes?

My mom recently brought back a Chinese magazine. Normally I wouldn't read it as I do not know Mandarin but my interest was piqued by one of the headlines on the cover of the magazine. "HE STOLE MY HUBBY".

I asked my mom to read the article and to let me know what actually happened. According to the article, the lady was happily married to her husband and they have 3 kids together. The husband has a very good friend and both the husband and wife treated him like he is part of the family. Little did the wife know that later, the husband actually falls in love with the good friend. The husband finally left the wife and their kids and moved in with his lover.

The reporter did interviewed the husband to verify the wife's accusation. The husband admitted to falling in love with the good friend and leaving his family for a guy. When asked by the reporter on whether he regretted leaving his children, the husband replied that he has no regrets whatsoever.

That 'no-regrets' statement striked a chill in my heart. Can his love for his children vanishes overnight? Can love be turned on and off like a tap? My mom looked at me with a sadness in her eyes after reading the article to me. What on earth did the man do to his children? My father just make one remark 'He might have no regrets now... but who knows in the future? One can't turn back the clocks'.

God helps him if he regrets his actions in the future...
