The Ex-File 3: The Return of the Exes (前任3：再见前任)

Our society

is prejudiced against men

in the past women called for equality with men

but that was the old society

now I think we men should

call for equality with women

take for example

stay-at-home moms

are fine women

but stay-at-home dads

are not man enough

men

have to fight with other men

for resources

in this jungle of a society

women are one of the resources

and they tend to flow upward

gone are the times when "love or bread" was in question

now the balance has tipped

towards a handful of people that

own the bread

being a woman is so difficult

you've got only those few best years

not like men with no expiration date

it's like gambling for a woman to pick a guy

maximizing those few short years

to find the right guy to spend the rest of her life with

that's hard

but a man can bid his time to make his pick

for men, age is a plus

for women, age is a panic-trigger

you've heard of big brothers?

But have you heard of big sister?

It's still a man's world at the end of day

so in this day and age

what will make a woman

willing to bet her future on a man?

Is it money or status?

No

it'll come down to how much the man loves her

is it true that all women in the world

feel insecure?

Yes they are

you are required to prove you love them all the time

men bust their asses off everyday outside

all they want to come back home to is

a hot meal

and a warm bed

not another battleground

what builds a good relationship?

It's communication, talking to each other

putting yourselves in each other's shoes

not putting up with the other person endlessly

I only see him a couple of hours everyday

he's all over the place outside

but looks dead the moment he steps in the door

can't he just spare a little bit of energy

to spend on me?

Whether it's material or psychological

what we women care more about

are not an absolute value

but a percentage value

like I

account for how much percentage of your being

it's so exhausting

being a man is so exhausting

it's so hard

being a woman is so hard

so it's a fight

or you guys are breaking up this time?

I said I wanted to break up

really?

She said it

so be it

I'm in the middle of a breakup

can you be more serious

then tell me

what you two were fighting for?

I forgot

I kind of forgot

what started it

then how did it get so serious?

He was lecturing me

that's so typical of women

they never just deal with the now

they drag you through things that happened years ago

five years

every time I caved

I apologized

back in the days when we fought

he'd try to make up with me within two hours

you'd think she'd say sorry once in a while

never

now it's a day already

not a word from him yet

it's so exhausting

I'm done

excuses

those are all excuses

he's just sick of me now

he doesn't love me any more

you're not worried that she might move out?

Why?

I'd be surprised if she moves out

I'd like to bet

if I move out this time

I don't think he's gonna let that happen

meng yun

you've made your decision

there's nothing left to say

okay

please mail the rest of my stuff

to me

not to the company address

I'll send you the address later

okay

whose fault do you think it is

this time?

I don't know

you women are hard to please

I just hope when you're at lin jia's age

you're not gonna ride me hard like that

but I feel sorry for lin jia

she's been with meng for five years

from when you two just started the company

till now you've got a sizable business

she's always been there for him

I feel that

meng's a bit too focused on work

I disagree

you women

keep saying that

men don't have to have money

but have to have talent

but nowadays

people use money to measure talent

so to prove we have the talent you so care about

we have to keep making money

well

there's also one thing you men like to say

that the reason I work so hard

is for our future

yu fei

so here is a question for you

if there is no me

you don't need to work hard?

That's a good question

there is always somebody else if not you

what?

What I meant is that

a man is always working hard

for a woman

no?

You don't think

they're really gonna just split up like that?

No

it's just a fight

only it got a bit out of hand this time

they've been together for years. No way this is the end

- yu fei - huh?

Who is it keeps texting you

it's all company stuff

meng asked me to set up a business dinner

I don't believe you

let me see

ding dian

we've been together for how long?

You still don't trust me

you may

take a look

but if there is nothing there

you need to apologize to me

okay

if there is nothing there

- I will apologize - deal

oh no

there was a message coming in

I was spooked

get it out

where did it go?

- Use your chopsticks - where is it?

Where did it go?

Where?

You did it on purpose

what are you doing?

Yu fei

this is where we first met

now we're back to where it all started

I'm not over what just happened with the phone yet

I admit

I did

play around a bit

but that was before I met you

and I've been a reformed man since then

reformed

huh

okay

I'll let the phone thing slide today

we need to learn from meng and lin jia's mistake

we need to talk more
