First Year of Being Married- Couple's Corner #6

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! talaga... I missed a lot!!! But I'll make habol.. Please wait for my posts bout the previous topics on Couple's Corner and I am telling you, whether you like it or not, I'll do the previous topics! LOL

Alright, I will concentrate first on this week's topic and it's all about our first year as a married couple.

Being with hubby 24/7 was no longer a FIRST since we've been living together for about a year already. However, it's somehow different when we are already earning and working for ourselves. When we were only living-in, everything was provided by our parents. Good thing, hubby was already working then and I stopped schooling to give birth and to personally take good care of our baby. Until now, I can't believe we passed that stage of our life where hubby only earns P10k, with our house rent that costs P5.5k, with a lovely baby to support and still managing to live a normal and happy life. Well, GOD IS GOOD! Want to know how we did it? Alright, it's like this...

1. I fully breastfed Alyssa for 10 months. We tried to give her formula milk, but she refused until I totally stopped breasfeeding her as I have to go back to school.
   
2. Pork, beef and fish are being transported from Masbate to Manila almost every month by my super kind mom-in-law, PLUS Alyssa's diapers and biscuits (Nissin Wafer and Marie).
3. My lola gives us rice every time we go to Laguna.
4. My aunts give us cooked foods every time they know I want them and also lots of Pampanga's Best products for our breakfast.
5. We live just a few steps away from hubby's siblings and from time-to-time, we get cooked meals as well.

WWWEEEEWWWW!!! That was how our first year was. Lots of blessings and gifts from our families. Indeed, we were sooo lucky to have them! =)

But, it was not always happy moments together. That was the year where we had the most LQ (Lover's Quarrel) only for me to realize after that it was all my fault. Goodness!!! I was so paranoid then that hubby might be looking to other girls because he's been surrounded by ladies who were with the same status as his - graduate, working, CPA... while me, at home and useless. That was some kind of self pity and maybe post-partum depression as well. I always throw tantrums and he never gave up on me.  He was always there explaining things and making everything clear and that happened so many times.

Then, when we had a serious talk a year after, we were able to clear things out and yeah, nothing's right among all my thoughts and suspicions. LOL! He was never been attracted to any other woman (he sworn).. =)

It was an exciting 1st year. It really was. My aunt (Tita Arlene) played a great role in that year. If not for her advices, maybe I already gave up and stepped out of our relationship. And only to kill myself after realizing that everything was only made by my suspicious mind. ;=)
