While sitting in a coffee shop one afternoon, waiting for my next meeting, I overheard a woman talk her heart out to her friend about her husband. “He’s so needy … If I’m not with him, I’m with his kids … I’m so bored … So glad I could escape today … I never get to see my friends anymore.” (I know I shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but to be fair, she wasn’t exactly being “secretive”, if you know what I mean.) Her statement made me think for a moment and my mind drifted instantly to my wife. For a split second, it made me ask “did Helen feel this way about me too?” Later that night, I asked her, just for the fun of it, and she replied with a puzzled look, “no. What’s wrong with you? Are you ok?” That’s my girl. I don’t get these women. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t your husband supposed to be your friend too? How can you say that you never get to see your friends anymore? Don’t you see your husband for the most time anyway? When we decided to get married, it didn’t instantly happen. You didn’t meet and instantly got married (Unless, of course, you were in an arranged marriage from the times of the Tang Dynasty in olden China.) But nowadays, people just don’t get married. They’d meet, go on dates, spend time getting to know each other, before deciding you’re in love and you want to spend the rest of your lives being with each other. You were friends first before you became lovers, partners, or spouse. If that woman in the coffee shop is missing her other friends, just so she could “escape” from her husband, maybe the question to ask is “what happened to them?” because I believe that there was a time when they couldn’t get enough of spending time together, talking about anything and everything in between, confiding secrets and building dreams for hours and more. I really like this quote from Nietzsche: “It’s not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriage.” I hope that you’ll always remember that in every relationship, your friendship with your spouse is the most important. Moving on, Friday. More like FRI-YAY! I know you’re going to spend this weekend getting ready for the holidays. I hope you’ll have a great one. But first, this album of Edwin and Meliza. I don’t know why I haven’t got around to sharing this one, because I really like this series. Taken in Sydney, with some of my favorite backgrounds in the city. Plus, the couple is really something too! Don’t you think? Have great weekend everybody! Ivan
