Ouch!!
:)
A dear friend of mine posted this image on her Facebook's page a while ago and I found it very true, funny and sad at the same time!
When we were little, girls loves to fantasize of her prince charming, the knight in shinning armor who would do anything for her, loves her and treat her like a princess everyday.
If you grew up with a father whom you considered as your "hero", then there is a huge possibility that you will find a man who reflected your father. Not in a gross way, come on!! LOL!!
I meant a man who in so many ways reminds you of your father as far as his character, his hard work, his dedication and how he treated you as a human being.
If you grew up with a father who failed to do his job as a father, then there is a possibility that you ended up confused with men. You have no idea of what a great man is all about or how they should treat you and what is the man's position/roles in a marriage, because you never had one good male figure in your life.
On the other hand, even if you grew up with a bad father, it actually makes you very picky to chose your soul mate, because you do not want your life to ended up like your mother and you do not want you future kids to suffer what you went through as a child (to present time - yes parents, you left scars on your children's lives, it affected us in so many ways).
At the end of the day, we met some men,
some of them are great,
some of them are jerk,
and WE ended up picked ONE that we thought qualified as our "Prince Charming".
Fast forward...
Once you entered a life called "marriage", your world changes!
Things that we did not see when we were dating is starting to appeared,
things that we hate and love as well.
There are people who are really good at hiding the "true color" of their soul.
Some learned to be better and actually trying to be the best,
Others are too selfish to let go of their bad side.
Many became a bad (or good) one because something happened in their lives that changed their good behavior to be bad and their bad behavior to be good.
If your marriage is taking a down stroll, then you are one of the "Taken and not in love"s group?
Well, I think that there are some steps before we got into that phase in a relationship:
1. Love - Married/Dating - Lost the love
2. Not in love - Married/Dating - Fall in love
3. Not in love - Married/Dating - Still not in love
4. Love - Married/Dating - Still in love
LOL, right?
So, which one are you at this point? Ideally, people would love to be number four, because it is the perfect kind of relationship, but sadly, not all of us could experience it.
"Marriage doesn't create problems. It reveals them. You bring unresolved stuff into it."
Now, let's move on to the single ladies/men,
woot woot!!
I found it very true when people say they are single and happy,
if that is really their honest feeling,
because it is simply mean they are not ready to get involved in any relationship.
It is better to admit it, instead of rushing into any relationship based on a moment of passionate sex or a pressure from everyone else who wanted you to be in a relationship, when you, yourself, are not ready.
"You can't hurry love, right?"
;)
Now, for those who are single and ready to be in a relationship but has not meet up with the right man/woman yet,
are you still single and happy or single and miserable?
This is for you to answer yourself.
But hey..,
I would rather wait for the right one, enjoy my single life without any drama and do things that will benefits myself in the future instead of rushing into a relationship, get all the drama that you don't need and then your life becomes worst than "The Real Housewives of Hell".
It's harder to fix the broken heart and clean up the mess it created than to be in a relationship with someone. I would rather check the "single" box in my Facebook account than to check the "Its complicated" one..
whew!!
I just can't deal with anything that is complicated.
Even though, I can't speak up for any relationship that is complicated because when it comes to love, you get mixed feelings, emotions, logical thinking, and "sacred" moments.
Its harder to let go when you are in a relationship,
there is an emotional connection that is hard to break.
But, in a very bad situation,
always remember to save yourself
so you can save others!
always remember to save yourself
so you can save others!
What do I love the most of being married to my husband?
COMPANIONSHIP
and that is my final and honest answer!
Singles and Doubles,
Taken or not,
In or out of love,
have a great Friday
T.G.I.F
