I made plans with some colleagues to go for drinks after work one day. One couldn't make it as something came up unexpectantly. We agreed we would postpone our date to another day.
As I was coming through our doorway, the man was surprised to see me.
'Aren't you supposed to be out for drinks?', was his first greeting to me when he saw me.
I told him the reason and teased, 'Aren't you glad to see me??!!'
He laughed and retorted, 'Now I understand how you feel whenever I come back early from the boys' outing.'
I chuckled. I was not at all displeased with his response. In fact, I comprehend fully how important it is for him to have his own space. Just as how I hold dear my alone time to do my own things.
As a couple, it is matter-of-factly to spend most of our time and do many things together. But I do not believe by entering into matrimony, we should be categorised as one entity. We are basically two individuals who have made a decision to live our lives together. That doesn't automatically translate us as an entity in which we should irritate the hell of each other by being glued together 24/7.
Couples who lose themselves in their relationships and forget who they really are and ultimately lose a life of their own, baffle me. I do not understand them. And I don't think I ever will.
I love the fact that the trust and confidence the man and I have in each other allow us to have a life.
I love it that he and I are on the same page on this one.
Find a brand new way of seeing,
Your eyes forever glued to mine.
