i embraced sun at the caribbeans today with the Reader's Digest. It seemed to want to tell me something, so when i flipped to the center of it..

1) Can love really last a lifetime?
Absolutely - but only if you chuck the fairy tale of living happily ever after. a team of scientists recently found out that romantic love involves chemical changes in the brain that last 12 to 18 months. after that, you and your partner are on your own. relationships require maintenance. pay a visit to the nursing home if you want to see proof of lasting love. recently, i spoke to a man whose wife of 60 years was suffering from advanced Alzheimer's disease. he came to sit with her every day and hold her hand. "she's been my best friend since high school" he told me. "we made a promise to stick together" now, thats a love story
3) Can a marriage survive betrayal?
Yes. it takes time and work, but experts are pretty unanimous on this one. Peggy Vaughan estimates that 60% of husbands and 40% of wives will have an affair at some point in their marriages. that's no advertisement for straying - but the news is good for couples hoping to recover from devastating breaches of trust. the offended partner needs to make a choice to forgive - and learn to live with a memory that can't simply be erased. infidelity is never forgotten, but it can gradually fade into the murky background of a strong, mature marriage.
it took only 2 questions to answer what was in me.
yes, i was angry with you. you had to go TP because you had to go and not because i needed to study. it makes me pissed when you have to say.. "then you can go study ma.." its not whether i had to study or not. if i weren't having my exams now.. you'll STILL have to go TP right? im not pissed because you had to go TP, its just the way you put it.. so now, i study lo.. i study study study and study and study and study.
I shall go for my hotair balloon ride this wednesday.. ALL BY MYSELF.
now. back to STUDYING.
grrr.
