That light bulb moment when you figured out why it never worked with your past relationships before.
Last week was rough for us. I guess it was a milestone too, for our relationship. Most of all for me, about my fears, my scars from the previous relationship I had.
It started with a simple thing, he overslept and it resulted into two days of emotional torture for the both of us. And it end up with us getting divorce, and we are so excited though a bit anxious but I believe I am speaking for the both us when I say we are both happy about it.
In our wedding, I will be wearing a wedding dress made by my husband, no matter how it looks, it will be the most beautiful and important dress of my life. He will be wearing a traditional barong. We will have a waffle wedding cake. We will serve breakfast in our reception, american and filipino and of course there will be loads of bacon which is his favorite. We will have just family, they can wear their pajamas if they want. It will be simple and unique.
I have stopped dreaming about my wedding almost seven years ago, and then start dreaming again, planning, browsing online about ideas, dresses, cake toppers, and then as the months go by the dreams started to become blurry and I'm starting to get scared.
It has been raised a couple of time before, about when he's going to get divorced, the first time was December last year, and now on our 6th month together, nothing is filed yet.
It starts to get frustrating for me, I start feeling all this doubts and start remembering the past like how it happened and how things are starting to look similar. It's like history repeating itself. And I found myself in the point where I almost stopped believing and it was awful. Because all the future I dreamed is getting farther, blurry and is starting to look impossible.
I have believed that we have a strong relationship, stronger than most, but in that moment, i felt defeated, Like the future of our relationship is now all up to him, and he is not doing anything about it. All the emotions was just crazy.
Regarding his divorce, I was only focused on what I feel. I also set my own line not to cross. And that was not good. I created this wall around his divorce, a wall that I tried to peak in to, felt like I wanted to jump over it, and the wall we finally shattered.
He did asked me before to help him out with his divorce, I thought it was something I should stay away from, something he should do on his own. I now realize that it were scars left from my ex, back when he told that his annulment was none of my business.
And there are a lot of challenges, circumstances around his divorce. And I don't know what was happening what he was feeling and why things are not started.
It was really a mess and we were almost emotionally drained. And what solved it was being honest of what we truly feel, of what we truly need and that is each other's support. I needed to be part of it, to know what is going on cause our future together depends on it, and he needed my help with it. And it also made me realize that he was right, he has been committed to me as a husband should. He ask me about big decisions like buying a motorcycle, he takes care of me and my daughter, he protects us in his own way even though he is very far.
And now its our business, we will face it together, I'll help and support him with everything. And we over came it. The elephant was out of the room. Things are much brighter. And my dreams are there again.
A dress made by him, a waffle wedding cake, tons of bacon and having his name.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not all about the wedding. I don't love him because I'm gonna marry him, I'm gonna marry him because I love him. They said marriage is about commitment, I believe I have that already, but,,,,, I'll take the wedding too! LOL!
So what's his is mine, what's mine, is, umm.. yeah... his too (just kidding!) So it's our divorce. Does it make sense?
That light bulb moment when you figured out why it never worked with your past relationships before. Even though you tried so hard... Because I was meant to be here, meant to be in this time, meant to learn all those life lessons, meant to have Fiona, meant to play the game clash of clan, meant to find him, meant for him, meant to be.
I love you very much my number 1 reader! I am so lucky to have you. And I promise there's no giving up, no matter what it takes, however long, no matter how hard, Till we share dentures. Mahal na mahal kita aking goy..
