Dear Blogville,
I have to say, I have been a blog reader for over 3 years now and although I really enjoyed reading blogs, I never saw myself as a blogger. I had no idea how to go about it, I have soo much to say and having recently become a "pseudo- agony aunt" to many many young and middle -aged married ladies... I find myself wondering if REALLY I've got the answer to it all!
I'll tell you this- I have the perfect marriage - at least that's how it looks on the outside- if only it was not so rotten on the inside.... its dead, decayed and appalling but in the spirit of keeping up appearances- not many people can tell. I am a master of my game. This is why many people come to me- saying they wish they had my life, my marriage and want my advice..
They think my hubby and I are soo romantic, oh just last valentine's day- they gushed in awe because we were going to Paris for the weekend- little did they know- my hubby spent the weekend in London and I in Madrid- we flew out together and flew back together- only separating and meeting at London heathrow... no questions asked, no comments made. we were back... from a lovely romantic weekend and as usual, I just smiled and smiled at all the 'You're so lucky' comments.....hmmmmm!!
How did things get this bad? How did we get here? How do you explain after being married for 10 years having dating for 2.5years prior to marriage that things are non existent? How do you tell people that it is all a lie? All they see is the posh area of town you live in, the nice cars you drive, the pictures of you and hubby, the beautiful kids and the in laws... I love my children but one thing is for sure..... I never should have gotten married! How can my life be so bland at 35??I resent marriage and stay with me, I'll tell you why soon.
My next post will be about 'Tanya' (not her real name) who came last week with her issues and seeking advice..maybe you can help too!! Being an agony aunt (who is in 'secret' agony herself) ain't easy!!
And that's my entrance to blogville.. See you soon!!

I am constantly surrounded my married pple and when i tell other young girl that i am not ready for marriage they all start to halla and rake about me not being serious.
They do not realise how much hard work it is...sigh.

ReplyDeleteI have my doubts about marriage.
I've been divorced for thirteen years, and still have no desire to get back into it any time soon.
Thanks for deciding to share your story with us on blogsville, i'm sure we'll learn a thing or two frm u, esp singles girls like me. Itching to hear more of your stories.

ReplyDelete@ Phoenix- I am soo glad you're staying on Wisteria lane, under a new guise!! U can tell that this is the beginning of a very nice friendship.
@ Roc- yes we did!! We are really good at keeping up appearances- stay tuned, there's lots to tell!!
