Taiwanese celebrity Annie Pei has voiced her profound sympathy for Chen Hsing-ju, reportedly having waited two decades for someone who may not exist. Pei described the situation as "terrible" and "heartbreaking," contrasting it with her own need to see her husband within 20 hours, lest she "go crazy."
A girl waiting for a non-existent person is truly too terrifying! I would go crazy if I didn't see my husband for 20 hours, let alone 20 years... it makes me very sad.
Pei reflected on the sacrifices many mothers make, often enduring difficult situations for the sake of their children and families, only to find reality falling short of expectations. The thought of children waiting for a father who is absent or unattainable deeply saddened her. She urged mothers to prioritize their own well-being and self-love, suggesting that tending to oneself is essential before extending care to others.
Mothers need to treat themselves well and love themselves more.
Addressing the complexities of marriage, Pei suggested that leaving a relationship might not be detrimental if love is absent. She stressed the importance of women having a strong sense of self-worth and independence. Pei, who has been married to physician Wang Tso-hsuan for many years, believes in clear boundaries between personal and professional lives, a principle they established early in their marriage. She also highlighted the role of physical and mental strength, gained through activities like exercise, in empowering women to navigate life's challenges and care for others effectively.
If you can no longer feel your partner's love, leaving may not be a bad thing. You really need to stand up with confidence.
