Skip this post if you’re here for the sunny-side of Kathlynn’s life.
I’ve been thinking alot about marriage life and all. In fact, talked to a few friends and colleagues who are married and what do they think it. And with that, at least I know I am TAKING THE PLUNGE with both eyes wide open.
Yeah, from the way I am describing it; it doesn’t seem like I have very positive views of marriage aren’t I? Truth to be told, I never look at married life equating to happily ever after. As hard as it is to maintain a relationship during courtship, I personally believe that it takes double the effort to maintain a marriage.
I believe I am not the only one struggling to be patience with her other half’s idiosyncrasies. I would say that he is too tolerating with mine. It’s not always about having the same thoughts, the same taste, the same values, etc that makes two a perfect couple.
I guess we have both agree that although we are both similar in many ways, we are complimentarily different in others. Of course, in an ideal situation, we both give and take to meet somewhere in the middle. But it’s often difficult to draw the fine line right in the middle isn’t it?
Honestly, I am beginning to have second/third/fourth/billionth doubt on whether I wanna commit and spend the rest of my life with ONE person. Of course, divorce is an option, but let’s not further complicate my already complicated-enough-for-my-liking life.
I was never really the kinda girl that dreams of her wedding day all her life. Or the girl that wants to be married, stay at home and take care of the kids. Heck, I don’t even wanna have kids and this is still my decision until today (and this, I am NOT joking).
I don’t know, after asking around married couples on how do they know that each other is THE ONE and when is the right time to settle down, they all conclude the same.
You’ll never know and there’s never a perfect, right time.
It is about make a firm decision to take a walk down the path of uncertainties, with each other.
I am already getting cold feet.
Do I really wanna do it?

Totally agree with you! I share the same sentiment abt double the effort after marriage. Plus agreeing on the fine line in the middle, it's easier to promise when calmed but during emo break downs...haiz so hard to pull back. Sometimes u're ok, it's the S/O that's crapping...hehe..but it all still boils down to looking back and focus on the point why we're in a relationship in the first place.
And although we have our different personalities, that doesn’t mean we can’t find a way to be nice and loving to one another and still keep a handle on things. :)
My two cents worth and CONGRATS!!
