I told you so…

These are 4 of my least favourite words. Especially if I have to be saying them to someone dear to me. ‘Cos more often than not, the situation will be a painful and emotional one. And although true, those words are actually rubbing salt to the wound.

.
Rewind 1.5 years, a galfren came to me announcing that she was getting hitched. Now, I will be completely honest to say that I was not too happy with that news. Mainly becos she’d only known the guy for 4 months and as we all know, the first few months (up to a year) is the ‘honeymoon period’ and always the most exciting. The sex is great, all his/her idiosyncrasies are cute, and everything is a YES! YES! YES!

.
No?

.
After the first year, and especially if the couple starts to cohabitate, then all the ugliness surface and that is when the rest test begins. How strong the love is will determine the make or break of the relationship in the face of all those ugliness.

.
I’m not sure about you folks but I personally need at least ONE YEAR (may be more, depending on the guy!) to get to know a guy inside out. To decide if I can have him in my Life - all the good and bad of it all. If  I can deal with the whole package. If despite all the things I may not like about him, will make me happy. And of cos, vice versa. I want the guy to take time to know all of me. Then decide if he can bear with my quirks and still love me enough to want to spend his life with me.

.
So, I am sorry galfren. I really really really HATE to say this now but “I told you so!” :`(
