Ranting about the Marriage Life 23 June, 2009

“So, how is marriage life?” This sort of question usually comes from ‘friends’ who need some filler to fill in that silent conversation.  The worse thing is, Dear2 still get this kind of question 2.5 years after our marriage! Duh.

Anyway, seriously after 2.5 years of living together with Dear1, there’s still a lot of conflicts day in day out, and still a lot of things to learn with each other.  Enough about understanding the inherent differences that these 2 INDIVIDUALS have from 25 years of different living habits that each of us have.  It’s about accommodating each other’s style, or coming up with something that the 2 of us can share.

But talk is easy, worse still, words dun seem to translate across the meaning that they are supposed to convey.  Discussions cannot become discussions if 1) Both people are talking at the same time, or 2), Both or either 1 person is not listening, or 3) Words dun mean what they mean because the interpretation is different by different people.  As one can see, the problem of (3) is the most serious problem, resulting in what is commonly know as mis-communication.

Dear2 has repeated this dunno how many umpteen times, and on and on and on, it’s the same thing.  There’s always a good side to everything, it’s just a matter of whether you want to bring yourself to see it.  Marriage life can be interesting and fulfilling, but I need cooperation and collaboration from Dear1 for the both of us to have a meaningful life.

Are we doing enough?
