      it would be....as long as I want it to be?

      hahahha

      As long as you don't end up like Taiwan's \"保票\", then you are fine. 😂

      I don't know what is this 保票. All I know is that last time my parents always watch the Qiong Yao shows in the 80s and 90s and it was soooo long winded and there would always be people weeping and crying and shouting.

      Don't know why my mother like to watch this kind of lousy show[/quote]Forgot... 保票 very old show, you may not know. In any case, this show went roundabout and never ended as it did not know where it was heading. In the end, it was terminated without completion. haha...not to scare you as you are doing fine.

      Actually your story reminds of some past encounters which I never put much thought to them....now that you mention.....hmmm.. The other thing is we always think the girls are die-hard romantics but actually we are very wrong, I realise that men love the courtship feeling a lot. In fact I have someone telling me before that he wish he can forever be in the courtship stage. There you go... 😄

        /contd


        last week was a particular hectic week at the office. I have been only coming home to sleep. I haven’t seen my wife in a week, practically, but there are few smses from her. She must be busy with the kids. My dad called me up to ask how I have been in terms of marriage and work. I said I was fine. But seriously, how do you define ‘fine’?

        I am an overworked, undersexed sorry figure of a man.

        Speaking of work, I’ve given 10 years to the company. The boss’ son has just returned from his overseas studies. He has been understudying various departments. I think I’m smart enough to know where he is going.

        I am definitely having an early mid life crisis.

        oh well. one bright point. Viewing of sports car. It’s a Mazda Mx 5. Very nice, soft top, good for site visits. I can even send the wife to work in this.

        I think it should be all right since I can pay in cash and it’s from my own funds anyway…

        /to be contd

          I wish the MBA courses add in a component to remind its students of the added value of keeping their marriage intact on top of gaining an MBA…Married But Available to more career options not Married But Available to temptation options. It is certainly a loss to have a paper gain but an actual loss in marriage, whether it is for man or woman.


          Btw, in MBA courses there are also many temptations happening. Some unmarried damsels can pretend to be weak in some subjects and latched on the married man to help in homework or vice versa… So, only your inner strength can help you…nothing else can.

            Is he going to stray? Or all imaginery in his mind that another gal is interested in him?


            Anyway, if he did stray, his straying just reinforced wife's mother teaching that men cannot be trusted. From her perspective, she is the hardworking & contributing wife yet no appreciation from her ungrateful husband.

            Therefore....I think this story will end with the wife finding out about his ema, him asking for forgiveness, wife serve him divorce paper anyway and obtained sole custody of children. Who needs who more :evil:

                To be fair, this Dave guy did put in effort in his marriage leh. Just that when a couple is together for too long there is no more romance & they will not try to impress & express their loves like during courting. I do not think it's entirely the man's fault in this case. Yes he should resist & cut out all temptation but he is just human. Like woman, man also needs his partner/spouse to praise him & shower him with love. Isn't that what we all want & need in order to face challenges ahead of us?

                  I'm speculating how the story would end. Based on the characteristics portrayed by writer, I believe this will be what the wife character would think and do.
