It is never easy being in a
relationship. In faithful relationship at that. I’ve been cheated on, once, and
since that incident, I’ve been building my relationship carefully to avoid
myself being hurt again. The first time was enough. Although I was a kid at that
time (the tender age of 16), the feeling of being cheated on hurts like a
bitch. I don’t ever want to feel that feeling again. Also, you know when you
broke up with someone, you also broke up with his friends? That also happened to
me which sucks because I actually like being friend with his friends.
I was so grateful that my best
friends were there with me when I got through the “mourning period”. They actually
understand me even when I don’t say anything. I hate it when people pitied me
but my best friends knew exactly what to do. Like for this one instance, we
were walking down this corridor when my best friend suddenly spotted my ex-boyfriend
walking at the other side of the corridor, he pulled me in and put his hand on
my shoulder and pretend that we’re couple. I was shocked but I was so grateful I
think I cried a little. (And yeah, my ex and I were schoolmate and my best friend was a guy, and he has girlfriend at that moment so get over
it.)
Since that incident, I always put
my friends first before my boyfriend. Like I always told my friends, “boyfriends
come and go but best friends last forever”.
But of course I love my boyfriend
(really, I love you). We’ve been together for 6 years now. I know one day, if
God’s willing, we will get married. But who knows what will happen in the
future right? I’ve heard story, some couples who have been in a relationship
for 9 years or more eventually broke up. It makes me wary of my own
relationship. People say faithfulness is very important in a relationship, I know
that, but humans are weak. People change every day. I am not the same me 6
years ago. But as far as I’m concern, I will hold on to this relationship
As cheesy as I may seem (I got Goosebumps
as I am writing this), I really truly hope that this relationship will everlasting.
Maybe in 4 or 5 years’ time, I’ll be writing about another entry about us
getting married, yeah? Only God knows.
