# Message to Tingting's Father
**Date**: 20 December 2025

## English Version

Dear [Father's name / 爸爸],

I hope you are taking care of yourself and your family during this difficult time.

I am writing to apologize for the pain and dishonor I have caused you, your family, and especially Tingting.

Yesterday, when you took out the knife, I understood your anger completely. I understand that you thought about hitting me, and I would have deserved worse. As a father protecting his daughter, your reaction was justified.

You welcomed me into your family as your son-in-law. You trusted me with your daughter and gave me your blessing. I have betrayed that trust completely. Not only have I hurt Tingting deeply, but I have also damaged your family's reputation and brought shame where there should have been honor. I understand the weight of this, and I am deeply sorry.

Our marriage had difficulties for some time, and I had lost hope. While Tingting was trying so hard these past weeks to save our relationship, I was not truly present - I made bad choices, I lied to her, and I put my attention elsewhere. On Thursday night, hope finally came back. We had the right timing. But it was too late - the mistakes were already made, the lies already there. The truth came out the next day.

Tingting gave everything to save us. She deserved honesty and my full commitment. I failed her when it mattered most.

Your daughter is an extraordinary person - strong, caring, dedicated. She deserves better than what I gave her. I failed both her and you.

I am truly sorry for the pain and dishonor I have caused your family.

With sincere apologies and respect,
Alexis

亲爱的爸爸，

希望您和家人在这段艰难的时期能够照顾好自己。

我写这封信是为了向您、向您的家人，特别是向婷婷道歉，为我所造成的伤痛和耻辱。

昨天，当您拿出刀的时候，我完全理解您的愤怒。我理解您想打我的念头，我本应该承受更严重的后果。作为一个保护女儿的父亲，您的反应是正当的。

您把我当作女婿接纳进您的家庭。您信任我，把女儿托付给我，给了我您的祝福。我彻底辜负了这份信任。我不仅深深伤害了婷婷，还损害了您家庭的名誉，在本应带来荣耀的地方带来了羞耻。我明白这份重量，我深感抱歉。

我们的婚姻有一段时间出现了困难，我失去了希望。在婷婷这几周努力挽救我们关系的时候，我并没有真正投入——我做了错误的选择，对她撒谎，把注意力放在了别处。周四晚上，希望终于回来了。我们有了合适的时机。但已经太晚了——错误已经犯下，谎言已经存在。第二天真相就暴露了。

婷婷倾尽全力想要挽救我们。她应该得到诚实和我全部的投入。但在最关键的时刻，我辜负了她。

您的女儿是一个非凡的人——坚强、体贴、尽心尽力。她值得比我给予她的更好的对待。我辜负了她，也辜负了您。

我为给您的家庭造成的伤痛和耻辱深感抱歉。

致以真诚的歉意和敬意，
Alexis
