seeing eye to eye

2008.04.27

Marriage is such a strange concept, I think sometimes. You kind of put a hold on your own ambitions and plans because this other person is now in your life and you have to make sure "my" plans are what's best for "us" now. You can be considered selfish for pursuing something you want to do, when doing the exact same thing out of wedlock would not seem selfish at all. You may take a different career path or accept a different philosophy of life because of the "us" factor; because you are no longer "you". This is hard! Especially for a firstborn, strong-headed, been-independent-and-paid-my-own-bills-already kinda girl like me!

Love is amazing, though. I'm sorry I'm difficult sometimes, Benito! But you know you love me ;)

taty7 Yessi, I totally understand you.
I'm also the oldest and left home when I was 15 years old to keep going with school. I managed my time, money, EVERYTHING. And now that I am married, sometimes, I still want to do the same as before but I won't just because I know that I have to think about our goals and not only mine.

Si esto del matrimonio es todo un arte y trabajo tambien. But hey, we wanted to be with them, right? Got to love them even when times aren't so great.

Awwww I think I need to go hug my hubby

sebastianorma Hola Yessi. Soy cuñis de Johanna. You're on my friends list since Jo created my blog account. I've enjoyed reading your blogs from time to time! ;) Don't know if you'll get this post since it's about a month ago, but... i agree marriage is complicated. And wait til kids come. Then you REALLY put your life on hold for others. God does it all to keep us in His image though,... of Selfless- ness.
