Relationship blues...

yesterday was a lousy day for my buddy... cos his gf broke up with him... poor buddy... i'm so worried he will do something silly... cos i think he really love that ger... haiz...

i always say their relationship reminds me of mine with mudpie... maybe both of them are good guys who are always being bullied by us gers... but mine definitely is stronger than theirs...

mudpie and i were actually on the verge of breaking up last week... but luckily everything's solved... our break up is not really because our loves for each other is gone... but is more like we are worried about not being able to have more time for each other and so breaking up might ease each other's burden... however... we realised that a break up is much too painful for both of us to take it... cos we really love each other too much...

maybe shakespeare is right... the course of true love never did run smooth... so in order to experience true love... one have to face with problems that might present itself in the relationship...

"The course of true love never did run smooth." --From A Midsummer Night's Dream (I, i, 134)

Lysander and Hermia are in love in this whimsical tale of love and magic in the woods outside Athens. Hermia's father, however, insists that Hermia marry Demetrius, and goes to the Duke of Athens, Theseus, to complain that his daughter is disobedient, and to demand that Theseus invoke the law requiring a daughter to obey her father or else die, or enter a nunnery. Theseus tells Hermia that her father's authority over her is complete and absolute, and she must obey him in this regard. Once left alone, Lysander and Hermia ponder their situation, at which point Lysander reminds his beloved that true love is always beset with obstacles. He suggests that they elope the next night. The theme of true love not running smoothly (and the problems this brings) repeats again and again in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

so sometimes maybe instead of just breaking up... maybe one should learn how to give and take in a relationship... if one is unable to learn how to accomodate each other in a relationship... what will happen when they get married? divorced? no matter divorce rates are going up...

so maybe one should learn how to accomodate one another... and not break up due to differences in character... this reminds me of the enzymes and their substrates... each enzyme has their specific substrate to work on... and they will work on that one and only substrate... so maybe these people are looking for their specific substrate... but how true is this in real life relationships?

for the moment... me and my mudpie will be sticking to each other... trying to accomodate each other... maybe until the day when there's a third party to break us up... i keep my fingers crossed...
