What a week!
Having had crazy weeks at work I decided to treat myself better and make an attempt to leave earlier. So on Thursday, I left the office at 6:30 and enjoyed a Swenson's dinner and some shopping. I think Alexis appreciated it as well, after having to spend most eveings on his own. Then again, unlike me, he may enjoy being alone at home. I think if he was the one that had to work late most of the time, I'll prob not be home most nights. I'm just not the sort who enjoys being alone at home. At least not for days on end.

Over the weekends, I caught a play that my cousin was acting in, "On North Diversion Road" at the Arts House in the play den.


It was a cosy set up where the stage was in the middle of the room. The story revolves around ten different couples driving along the same highway, dealing with marriage-on-the-rocks, love and betray issues. SOme end up killing themselves, some end up fighting like cats and dogs, some giving the tit for tat treatment and some just unresolved.

This plus the past few nights of listening to love songs confidential on class 95, makes me wonder how people treat the value of fidelity in their marriage. On love songs confidential, you have people writing in to share their darke secrets. Some whom are married and are havng affairs they know fully well will get them no where, but still refuse to let go of. Them others who are the 3rd party themselves and feel guilty for breaking up families yet also refusing to leave, citing reasons that are just plain sad... *sigh*

It's impossible to expect fireworks in a marriage forever. And who ever said keeping a marriage strong requires no effort or work? Having passed the one year anniversary in my marriage makes me realise how one party's actions, moods, decisions, affects the other so much. Be it for the better or worse. How carefully marriage must be nurtutred, pruned, receiving love, affection, affirmation, praise, encouragement.
