6 more days to my fourth ‘monthversary’… Everytime the 17th of the month arrives, I will remind my husband that we have survived another month. To which he replies with a passive ‘hmm’. And, as per normal I would reply that he is so unromantic but of course, he will explain that celebrations are supposed to be a yearly thing. He is such a Virgo! I still wonder how in the world this Pisces girl could tolerate such a serious soul. Well as they say, opposites attract!
To say that marriage has been blissful is a lie. If newlyweds say that their married life is great, I believe that you have to take it with a pinch of salt and a heapful of sugar. This is a personal opinion from one herself. I am extremely sure that tiffs, no matter how small, will always be there and they do make you wonder why you got married in the first place.
Like yesterday, I was angry with my husband for not having enough time to go out with me due to his work commitments. But, as I reflect upon it today, I felt very bad coz I was only thinking of myself. He is trying to earn enough to provide the best for me. When he awoke this morning, he was still running a fever and had a sneezing fit. And what did this wife of him do? Grumble and grumble while he cleared his phlegm and blew his nose. Did he scold me at all? Nope. He bathed, got dressed, sat down beside me and promised to spend Wednesday with me. Lo and behold, I have to go to work on Wednesday! School is evil ‘institutionified’! However, what wrung my heart, was the tenderness of the kiss he planted on my forehead despite my torrential nagging earlier on. ….and that is the reason why our tumultuous relationship lasted as long as it did. I love this man as he accepted me, tantrums and all. I love this man as despite his rough demeanour, deep down he is the kindest, most forgiving soul ever. I love this man, my husband.
So, back to the earlier topic about early married life being blissful, nope, it’s not really true. To those who say it is, you must be one truly lucky couple. However, I strongly believe rocky paths of life will lead you to smoother ones. I am sure mine is coz every time we quarrel, we end up loving each other more than yesterday but less than tomorrow….
