Leave me alone

I asked Jay to leave me alone. I whatsapped him after our usual nightly call. 

Part of me was frustrated at him. How could he just ask me to rest early (after having talked just like 10 mins, we normally do more than 30 mins) when I told him I was having headache. on hindsight, maybe he really wanted me to get more rest? 

I said I was confused with myself (still am actually). Sometimes I feel very much loved and blessed to have him, but sometimes I feel frustrated, annoyed or even angry at him. 

I think I am creating too many expectations. I am like a prince (or princess?) wanting the best for everything from him. I want all his attention (when I want it), I want him to exceed my expectations if possible. I want him to always be sensitive and considerate without the need for me to ask for it. 

I think I am asking for too much. 

After all, we've only been together for like half a year? And we are not even married. Even if we are married, I shouldn't be excessive with my wants I think. 

I think I should instead ask myself: what have I given him so far? Have I given commensurately? 

Hence, I asked for a leave. I told him that "I dun want to proceed without knowing where I am heading". I think I need to clarify this statement when I talk to him again, hopefully soon. What I meant is that I need to clear my mind, I think it's my problem... 

When I was struggling with my thesis, he said, "let's spend the next few months validating each other". So there was a common goal for us- to get to know each other better, see if we were suitable for each other. 

But now that we are 'together'. What's the next destination? 

We spend time making love, laughing, arguing, talking, loving,etc..But where are we heading towards? 

I feel lost. 

I don't think by just not talking to him for a few days would get me the answer. I did tell him not to be upset because I asked for leave. I am not sure how he is interpreting it. He replied 'ok' this morning. And we haven't talked since. I miss him. I was going through his FB's photos and found myself laughing incessantly. I looked at the photos on my phone and they are all proofs of how much he loves me. 

Also, I am actually feeling a bit sick still, but i told myself to restrain from calling him. I just forced myself to concentrate on my reading. I think I am trying to 'torture' myself with his absence so that I could appreciate him more. I don't know if this is silly or not.

  1. It's not exactly silly. We deal with it in our own way. Just need to be clear with him what u really mean. Hence, texting about it is not really a feasible idea. Call him and make it clear so that he won't start guessing and assuming the worst case scenario

    After all, a fall will always make u two leap higher =) *hugs*

  2. you both maybe should take 3 months break apart. Consider it as a pause in your relationship. Distant yourself from him, do something u want to do without him. Distance makes the heart fonder - learning how its feel like to be missed and missing. Maybe from there you both can start anew without much disagreement happening as it is now.

  3. i dont really believe in breaks.. lol.. maybe not that long... a week should really be enough to test your limits, sometimes not even a day and it will drive you nuts.. and you can know it yourself..

    you will need to talk this out with him, about where you are heading. if there isnt a place where you two kinda settle down in the future then there is no point continuing on with the relationship.

    we can not always assume what the other person is thinking and vice versa so it would be easier if you guys were to really talk about it, it will be intense talking about the future but it is neccessary if you two are serious about each other and the future. there is no such thing as too young to talk about the future. hopefully you guys will have a good talk. xoxo

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi

I am free!

Submitted my thesis last week. Worked till 6am, sent my final draft to my supervisor, and went to bed. Didn't really sleep though, as I set my alarm at 8am, and by then, my supervisor had already emailed me the final edits required. I incorporated the final changes, and saved a few copies to my pen drives, to dropbox, before I showered and headed off to uni to print. Deadline was at 12pm, I was at the print shop at around 10.30am. It was a super cheerful asian lady. The print shop was empty, probably because it was Stuvac. Printed the entire thing in colour, cost me a fortune. But luckily the lady kindly gave me some discounts, so nice of her. Took a few photos of them before I handed them in. Uni is finally over!!! ...OR probably not??! One of the best things being with Jay, is that he is interesting. He's smart. Because, you know, I am already smart, so I need someone smarter for some stimulation. (Just kidding!! :-p) I called him right after I finished posting the ph
