Silent Divorce

 Today I came across the term "silent divorce" and somehow I felt like it was describing my relationship. I understand distance prevents us from intimacy but when I tried to recall when the last time we were intimate, it was last year. July is around the corner, which means it's been more than half a year since we've had any pleasures of the flesh. I actually find it funny to describe it in that manner. Do I crave for intimacy? Sometimes I do, which makes me a normal human being. However I am a little bit conflicted myself as I do not actually enjoy the main course. It is still awkward and uncomfortable, and most of the time, I catch myself thinking, "Can this end soon?". There is definitely love and lots of care but we are just not compatible when it comes to intimacy, and neither of us has the time to improve this aspect of our marriage. 

Do I wonder what it is like to experience intimacy with another person? I do but it is morally and socially wrong. I think I had this thought when I recall my colleague telling me about her experience with different men, and I wondered is it better to have experience more than one person in this life? I gave a lot of thought about it and feel that I would still stick to having only 1 partner for the rest of my life because I do not want to share and exchange energies with different people which would result in a lot of emotional baggage. Come to think of it if I could find a way to pleasure myself without the need of a partner, then the transient sexual desire is fulfilled and I will not think about it anymore. It just need to be addressed in a manner that I feel most appropriate. 

Having said that, I do wish I could have a little bit more intimacy in my marriage. Probably not the actual full course as I know he is tired but perhaps some cuddling and kissing would be nice. I wish he could be more enthusiastic to do those acts of intimacy with me. I guess I am a little overthinking about this topic just because I read about such terminology out of the blue. Definitely overthinking. 

I really look forward to seeing him soon, 17 more days to be precise and I believe with him by my side I can have a rejuvenating sleep. Somehow I am always sleepy when I am with him, I guess it's because I could let my guard down and rest. That is the beauty and essence of our relationship.

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Pieces of My Shatterd Heart

I miss you, when you laugh, the twinkle in your eye, the shape of your silhouette against the moonlight, the way you concentrate when you drive, and tease me intentionally to make me smile I really miss you~~~~~ I like the time when we went out and it was raining you treated me like an ice cream afraid of me melting shunning me away from the water droplets falling and when I look up to see you I caught you smiling... Drowning in a pool of misery wondering how to change history to diminish my growing worry to seal you in my deepest memory Not having you means not having anything cause you are the one whom i can share everything its you i seek when the rays of dawn comes shinning don't you know that my heart is now shattering? When night comes the missing is unbearable cause its was always the time you are more available yet now even when the curtains of dusk falls I'm l...

Her Dream, His Dream

Once upon-a-time... ...and they lived happily ever after The End I bet most of the fairy tales we hear during our childhood years sounded very similar if not exactly as the statement above. I have always wanted my life to be similar to those story where there's magic, love, eternal happiness and most important of all my very own prince! Please note that prince here refers to life-partner and it does not equal to the average "boyfriend". It's not like I'm going to be seen with a wedding ring and a veil over my head very soon but I do admit, I would really love to get married with my prince as fast as possible so that I can reach the part of the story where " they live happily ever after". However, I learn that in reality, nothing can be as flawless as in the tales which have been the basic foundation of my life. If life has no flaws, earth would have been known as heaven. Even so, life is still beautiful and I learn that for a marriage to ...
