Blunderful Moments

One morning after a breakthrough in our relationship, my biggest love wakes up in the morning, pulls me to himself and tells me, "Gee baby, you know... You look gorgeous in the evening, but in the morning... you look wierd". Aargh!

Ok, this depends how I take it, it's like a comedy show. I will now delete the last few words:
"Gee baby, you know... You look gorgeous".
LOL. Ahh.. there, Thank you, thank you...

When was it when I and my one and only had some fairly difficult weeks. We live far from each other and have only a chance to see each other once in a month. There was a time when our communications has dwindled and I was beginning to fear it would drop to a grinding halt. Little does it help that he is indeed one of the most attractive fellows in the city and it is not surprising to me at all, that he enjoys the flirtatious games played on him. He has his reasons for that.

But here comes Fear, a relationship killer. It drove me to "look" and lo! I did find. I had my reasons for that. I felt betrayed having found something and the trust issue simply got out of hand. It's been tough for me and almost unintentionally, I have recently learned that I have something in common with the paranoid chick in The Little Black Book. Fortunately, my lover has the penchant to understand me, and is willing to make some concessions. By now, he is also able to affectionately laugh at my excursions. For now also, I take care of me and am positively making up for my blunders. How?...

With huge effort and lots of communication, we were able to get through. My big love had it in him to make some adjustments and also honesty from each of us played a big role. Love afterall, is give and take. It pays to invest time and effort for such talks especially because we are far away from each other. Most of all, being open to what the other person has to say and accepting each others views is really important. In the beginning, some words may hurt, but the freedom to say things and allow the other person to be himself paves way for better understanding and acceptance that goes both ways.

It depends then how you take it, because it is true that there are two sides of a coin. We have given an effort and learned much to see the positive side of it all... and this clearly opened the way for more of these: Love, Trust, Respect and a lot of Humor.

I guess we each have our moments. What is vital is that we know where we stand in each others lives (and loves!),. It takes two to tango even through all the differences and we work our way through, UP from all the downs.
