It’s always good to kiss and make up.
One of the things that I really appreciate in my relationship with Marion is that we seldom fight. I don’t know if that is a good thing, I mean, sometimes it’s healthy to fight. There’s something good about arguing (whether it’s a silly stuff or a serious one) and having to make up after -- the "sorry", the hugs, you know..those kind of things. But of course, I’m not the one who initiate arguments just because.
We do fight a lot during the start of our relationship. Me, being the overly sensitive and moody person and him, being the obtuse and straightforward person that he is. We do clash. We’re two different people and it is normal for us to disagree over some things. People may think we are a perfect couple – I forgive easily and he understands me when I’m moody. But the truth is, we’re not. Despite that, we try to be patient with each other and we don’t hold grudges.
I admit that I’m a jealous girlfriend during the start of our relationship. I overreact when some girl tries to flirt with him and I roll my eyes whenever someone wants to take a picture with him. He is also a jealous boyfriend. He changes his mood when I tell him someone is crushing on me (Hihi, sometimes, I deliberately make him feel jealous which is BAD) and he doesn’t want me talking with someone who I had a ‘thing’ in the past. But the best part of it, as we grow together as a couple, we learn to be less jealous and more secure of each other. We make sure that we won’t make our fights last more than one day. We make sure that before we end our day, we’re in good terms.
I remember a really wild argument I had with him in the past. He was ill-mannered towards me because I was late for a very important meeting with our friends. I wanted to shout at him during that time but I remained calm and waited for our meeting to finish. When we got into his car, I went ballistic and ask him ‘What was that about? Are you really trying to embarrass me infront of our friends?’ And poof I can’t exactly remember what hurtful things we said to each other and the last thing I know was that I told him this: “Itigil mo yung kotse. Ibaba mo ko.” And for goodness sake, we were in the middle of EDSA and it’s raining hard. He was not looking at me and he was not listening to me anymore so I said it again with full conviction “Itigil mo sabi. Ibaba mo ko”. He stopped the car and just like a bratinella, I stepped out of the car. Ohemgee. Actually, I was just testing him. Hay, girls. Hehe. And my goodness! Is he out of his mind?! Ibaba daw ba ako sa EDSA. Hahaha! Good thing, the traffic is bad so after two minutes, I realized “Oh no I can’t do this. I won’t be able to find a cab” and I got back to the car. When I got back, I said “Bakit mo ko binaba?” He said, “Eh sabi mo ibaba kita eh. Sorry na baby. Bati na tayo.Please?” After that “s”-word, my heart softened. And we we’re in good terms again. Fast forward to today, we would laugh at that incident whenever we reminisce.
The thing with us is after every misunderstanding, we would reflect on it and we would always try to be better persons. Like a true gentleman, he will keep in mind what irks me and he will try his best not to commit the same mistake anymore. I, on the other hand, extends my patience and be a more understanding girlfriend.
The rule is, if it’s not going to matter ten years from now, we don’t make it an issue.
