The Secret Wish List

It is always the little things that build up. Often there is no dramatic reason for discontent in marriages. It seeps in slowly over the years. You don't even notice it creeping in. It happens, trickle by trickle. You do not realise when or how the easy familiarity gets replaced by a 'taken-for-granted' attitude over the years. By the time you do, it is often late. Habits have been formed, patterns have been set. And a comfort-zone have been established. A zone that is hard to get out of.

Sometimes in a marriage, it is easier to just buy peace and pay the price of swallowing your ego and keeping quiet.

It is ironic how the years change you and yet you remain the same.

You never know who is going to get back into my life.
