Marriage is a bad thing.
Takes a smart, independent, self sufficient woman and promptly turns her into a damsel in distress. Now, who would have ever imagined that I would fall prey to this.
I have been on my own since I was 16. Hostels and PG's is where I have spent 90% of my life. I recall, that many girls who shared my accommodation, soon felt a need of a boyfriend who can help her run her life. I mean, with additional benefits to both parties, it also helped the girls for their beauty parlor trips, bank jobs, entertainment, gifts that they otherwise wouldn't get for themselves and pampering being a integral part of it. One of the n reasons why I didn't want a man in my life, including the one that nobody asked me is that I didn't need a man to run my life. I was pretty self sufficient and pampering is the last thing I needed.
Then marriage happened.
And mind you Db is not the pampering types, not in the conventional way at least...and I can't thank him enough for that.
Yet, now that he is in US (again!!!), I see myself counting days. Though I must admit that I know how to keep myself busy, I have been reading and painting a lot off late. Yet, when I have my hands off my recreation, I am back to oh-I-am-so-lonely trip.
I need my knight in shining armor who does indeed run my life...in some ways at least. I think I am getting old now...
HAH!!! I didn't write this...
