23.Marstupid truth & amnesia
Two things went very wrong today which marred the beauty of Friday.
While waiting for my train in our car, I told hubby that his auntie seems to think we’re the same dress size. Albeit we have the same problem that is we’ve gained weight we’re unable to shift. Of course I didn’t say outright I’m offended, do I have to? Instead I asked hubby pointedly
So what does my hubby do? He stayed quiet for a good minute when I was eagerly waiting. I turned to him & saw his face was contorted in DEEP thought. Finally I said “well??” And the cat jumped out of the bag & scratched me in the face. He said he doesn’t think his auntie is fat. And like a “get out clause” in a contract, he said he cannot clearly picture our bodies side-by-side. That perhaps we ought to weight ourselves & see. I said my weight has been 60Kgs & hasn’t changed for the last 6 years (pregnancy and all). I said what we need is BMI which is more accurate (or even Volume Mass Index which they say now is better). To which he said “yes” perhaps hoping his nightmare is over. But I insisted wanting to hear salvation from his mouth. So he sallied forth with such gusto & told me that actually my thighs look bigger & that my upper arms (which I’m SSOOO sensitive about) are also bigger than this woman who happen to be his bloody relation.
What the heck am I going to say? I said “hell no!” I refuse to believe that her auntie can even fit her calf into the trousers I’m wearing today. Then I moved to get out & told him my train’s coming. ABA! After his declaration he was expecting me to give him a goodbye kiss?? EGAD! MEN!
Of course I’ve asked for it, it’s my fault & I shouldn’t blame him… but I’m petty okay?! And I haven’t completely forgiven him for what he did the other day… TSE!
Now on the train my reminder went off. It’s my niece’s birthday which means it’s our wedding anniversary today!!! OMG! How could I have forgotten? And how come I have no reminder for that? And why did HE forget? Uy another ammunition for me later. But the thing is he’s on shift tonight and will not be home until I’m snoring loudly. It will have to wait tomorrow, oh wait he will be off to work very early. Sunday then…
Who cares?! The point is I forgot, too. Scary.

yes, yes, yes. you asked for it (we women always ask for it). and we know how and what they will answer. that is why, i have declared myself as “sexy mom”, di na pwedeng umangal pa kahit sino…but you know, i do not forget our wedding anniversary, and we had 27 na. because i have 7 kids to remind me every year (LOL)
The battle of (with) the bulge is an unending and often a losing one. hahaha But its okay, that’s just another challenge that makes life interesting. And we always want our significant other to affirm us. And if he doesn’t we get frustrated. But men don’t know these things, do they? LOL Try reading MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS by John Gray and see if it doesn’t make you understand more the differences between auee and hubby.
Wedding anniversaries! Eh if you forgot, then quits na lang kayo hahhaha. Pero trimmings lang naman yan eh. What’s important is the love and respect you have for each other that you celebrate each day.
Chin up, you’re fine.
