Many couples who’ve been married for decades no longer feel the sweet-miss you-love-you-kilig. The three letter words that were written in their hearts before they tied the knot have either been buried beneath the rubbles of their day to day marriage and parenting encounters, or have totally dissipated from their consciousness. Maybe love is gone. Only care is left.
I have a friend, and let’s call her Stacy so she wouldn’t kill me
for making tsismis her lovelife. She’s been married for 20 years. Her husband who’s nice to her naman, never told her “I love you”. Everynight before they go to bed, Stacy would tell her husband “I love you”. Instead of responding with the perfunctory answer “I love you TOO”. He would respond with a sound “hmmm”.
Ano? no matter how you multiply and divide that, it would never lead you to “lab u 2″. To feel better, Stacy made herself believe that he really means ” lab u 2 “.
There are men din naman that are so used to saying love you love you without feeling anything. Parang tape recorder lang.
Actually madaling malaman kung wala lang masabi ang asawa mo or he’s just saying it to pacify you.
Pag nag I love you today at bukas nagka sore throat sya, pihado nag sinungaling yun. Kung tuwing nagsisimba lang kayo nag- a I love you during the “peace be with you” part, pwede na rin pero hindi convincing yun. Maybe it’s only when he’s in front of the altar that he remembers.
Wag na wag mong tanungin na “Are you still in love with me?” that’s ridiculous, syempre alangan namang isagot NO. Of course he would say YES, I love you, but he would utter NO MORE so softly that you wouldn’t hear it, kasi you only heard what you wanted to hear. That’s pathetic.
You also do not want your spouse saying I love you every minute, nakaka kulili naman yun. At baka those 3-letter words were intended for another person.
When he comes home, he’s overwhelmed with love and desire for another person, when he sees you, pati ikaw na iloveyou na rin but he could only be hallucinating.
