Meet my folks?
Just finished watching 'Meet the folks' on tv - interesting.. Would you bring home 3 guys and let your parents pick the right one they deem the best for ya? Do our parents really see things in a better perspective when it comes to love and relationships? I wonder.. It was very sad that my parents disliked my ex-bf. Things were so tense that I think my parents would have disowned me if I had stayed together with him. It was that bad. And the ironic thing was I didn't break up with him out of parental objection in the end. I guess things happened for a reason, and perhaps he wasn't the God-intended one for me. It was tormenting to cope with both elements of parental objections and long distance. Long distance relationships, not easy.
It didn't help that communication was scarce. You would think that these days with technology like email and internet, a LDR isn't all that hard to maintain. I still think so, but it'll take both parties to put in effort to make it work. You simply cannot clap with one hand.
Hmm..
I hope I don't sound like a sceptic. I do know of LDRs which turned out alright and I am happy for those friends. Back then, I thought I could make mine work too. I tried really hard and ended up with a broken heart at the end of it all. Sigh.
These days, the heart is healing and I know God allows those things to happen so I can be moulded. I may not like it, but I know they happen for a reason, a good reason.
