I don't know exactly why me and my partner have continued the relationship for quite a long time. Looking back now, I realized that I may have been in-love with the idea of being in-love, that I had someone with. I don't want to sound like I am regretting everything but it has just come out like in a real sense now how I was too naive before. I have to admit I was hard headed. I mean everybody is, right? At some point in their lives. But totally acknowledging the realistic possible consequences was right out of the window for me. I thought I had everything under control.
Now, that I have a kid and actually living in the real word in its very essence, I am figuring this isn't a lovey dovey type of relationship anymore. This has to be real. And sometimes, I mistake our version of love to the ones I see on movies or read in books. Truth is, life with a partner is not just about roses, chocolates and all that. As one of the DJ's mentioned, you can't just be compatible emotionally but intellectually, spiritually and physically.
When a kid comes along, you think about milk, diapers, educational plan, health insurance and so on. It's no joke really. But what I like about being with my partner is that I feel like life is still smooth, easy. We work hard but at the end of the day we still want to be together. I for sure want to see him everyday after work, share stories and what not. Sometimes, I get crazy ideas from the articles I read in the Internet and he'd be like whaat???
Anyway, I am glad that we are not in the Infatuated love stage anymore and I am so over that phase in my life. I am moving on with the tide. But of course, we get informal dates occasionally and this includes SIOMAI. Yep, you might see us at 9-10pm during weekdays or weekends whenever we feel like grabbing almost midnight snack at our favorite SIOMAI stall somewhere in the city.
Before this, he was sound asleep. I was a bit apprehended to approach this guy but we wanted to eat so bad, we had to wake him up!
