*I do not have a perfect lover but in many ways, he is perfect for me. *
AN-G: So how long have you been together with your bf?
Me: Erm, 3 years plus?
AN-G: Oh. And he did not leave you because of your health condition? That’s very good. Nowadays very hard to find a faithful lover.
Me: Yea.. He has always been there for me. (Thinking in my heart -In fact, I feel that he has loved me much more than before.)
You know, randomly I would like to ask him this question, “Do you think I love you more, or you love me more? I think I love you more leh.” And every time he would answer with a gusto saying, “Of course I love you more than you love me.”
And randomly, he would like to remind me that how much his parents dote on me. I will not go to details on how much they do but really, I thank God for their love and understanding. Yet, if you think that both of us have never face any prosecution from his family side, you are wrong. I remember once at the initial stage of our relationship, SK told me that his mum sneered at him and said that we would not last longer than 2 months. And on the first time of meeting with SK’s relatives, SK told me that he saw his uncle asking his dad if we are gonna be “long-term” and his father shook his head. That was pretty nasty huh? But I’m glad that SK and I have braved through all these ‘shit”. Now, I’m pretty close to his parents and his relatives.
I really think that finding acceptance from your lover’s family is very important. A relationship does not involve the couple only but everyone else around. I really do not wanna see my husband being sandwiched between me and his mum if we do not get along well. It’s heartbreaking lah you know, I guess, watch those channel 8 dramas and you will know.
