半间房和半个人生。我和阿楠是同窗好友，做为同龄人，我们有着共同的经历，求学,就职,结婚,生子，而后，又各自结束掉自己的婚姻。不同的是，我是主动，她是被动。就因为这一点差别，结局大相径庭。先说我。因为离婚是我提出来的，他做为男人的自尊心受到了伤害，所以在财产上苛求我，让我放弃属于我的一半房产。我呢，当时已订好写作计划，并和出版社签了约，想尽快结束这死魂灵婚姻，静下心来专心写作。所以同意了他的无理要求，在放弃房产声明上签了字，用刚得的稿费在市区租了一套公寓，带着自己心爱的电脑和衣物，搬了进去。阿楠的情况比我复杂。她老公在外面有了情人，情人逼着他离婚，否则就跳楼自杀。没办法，他只好回家和老婆摊牌。做为有过错方，他本想在财产上做些让步，可他的那位情人说什么也不让，非要一人一半。于是，原来两室一厅的房子一分为二，一人一室，厅和厨房共用。现在，3年过去了，我早已用稿费买了自己的房子，而阿楠还和前夫一屋两家的住着。那天，我去她家看她。她的家，从她离婚以后我很少来。每次走进这扇门，内心都有些种说不出的感情。以前这里是我们聚会,聊天的地方，有时聊得太晚，阿楠就留我住下，把老公赶到另一个房间去。现在，我们俩在她的房间里聊天，另一个房间里却传来她的前夫和另一个女人的说话声，还夹杂着电视里的枪击声,女人的叫喊声。心情可想而知。我看，你还是像我这样，先租个房子搬出去。以后多写点稿，赚钱买房。这样太遭罪了。我实在忍不住，劝阿楠道。为什么？这房子是我的，这是法律上规定的，我为什么要给他们？阿楠一脸不满，大声反驳道。没错，法律上是这么规定的，可你有没有想过，你住在这里，整天看着他们成双入对的，心情不好，无心看书写稿，这对你不也是一种损失吗？阿楠迟疑了一下，叹了口气：说真的，我也这么想过。可是一看到那个狐狸精那副趾高气扬的劲，我就气不平。她抢了我老公，还想把我气走，独占我的房子，这不太便宜她了吗！所以，我不走！就这么耗着，看谁能耗过谁！我还想再说什么，但一看阿楠一脸决战到底,誓不罢休的神情，就把话收回去了。阿楠又唠唠叨叨说了些他们之间的事，什么水电费交多了，他们两个人用，自己一个人用的少。什么他们总是早出晚归，影响自己休息了。都是些无聊琐事，我听着听着有些心烦。呆了一会就借口有事走了。回去的路上，我不仅为阿楠感到惋惜，同时又为自己暗自庆幸。幸亏当初当机立断，没有在财产上纠缠。虽然放弃了属于自己的一半房产，但是得到了内心的平静和安宁，很快就走出了离婚的阴影，重新开始了自己的新生活。而生活并没有亏待我，不到两年的时间，我就有了一间产权属于自己的房子。www.rensheng5.com可是，再看看阿楠，从法律上讲，她维护了自己的利益，得到了属于自己的半间房。可是为了这半间房，她白白耗掉了三年，而且还要耗下去，说不定得搭上半个人生，这代价不也太大了吗！大道理：很多时候，命运可能对我们不公平，但我们不能成为命运的奴隶。有时，放弃也是一种解脱。
