Thank you for replying my blog, makes...Hello Minyu<br /><br />Thank you for replying my blog, makes me feel that there are really pple reading it.<br /><br />This is not exactly a complain post la, more of a venting frustration post. I am actually in the same situation as your husband, where I have a one-off opportunity to do something outside Singapore and my fiancee has taken a one year no-pay leave to try to get used to my new environment.<br /><br />Anyway, be strong and I am sure you will pull through with your pregnancy and labour though he is not around and I think true love will stand the test of time and separation.<br /><br />Regarding the emcee, I will request the script from you again if i need it when the time comes. Anyway when are you due?Eddie Yiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885633930988811859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541130827036202529.post-82937396023847154602010-05-04T21:15:29.286+07:002010-05-04T21:15:29.286+07:00Are you Malaysian or is it your fiancee? It is pos...Are you Malaysian or is it your fiancee? It is possible to arrange a wedding even if you are overseas as long as you engage responsible, credible and efficient biz partners who deliver on their promises.<br /><br />Just to share my thought on your question, "If marriage leads to divorce, why get married in the first place?"<br />Because no one knows what the future beholds so they never thought that their marriage will end. There are too many factors in a relationship that one cannot control. When cracks start to appear, some may ignore the symptoms, others may fuel it. It could be due to busy schedules, in-law problems, background differences, different life goals which never appeared in the configuration before marriage. Most people want to believe in 'happily ever after' but at what cost are they willing to sacrifice to pursue this Utopian dream? Career advancements, family duties, or even time for themselves are some things that are being sacrificed to maintain a happy marriage. The thing about marriage is you are no longer alone, you need to think about your spouse, child, new family members and the additional responsibilities. Some people are not prepared for this extra task or burden. <br /><br />I guess you are more or less prepared before you popped the question. As for me, if you care to know, my husband is working in USA now while I am going through I am in SG, pregnant and working. Many people empathise my plight and wonder if I will blame him for leaving me behind. Sometimes, circumstances like work opportunities only come once in a lifetime and separation may actually improve the relationship. It boils down to the willingness for both parties to make the marriage work. <br /><br />All the best to your marriage preparations and work. If you need any help with Emcee scripts, I can forward you samples as I have emceed a few weddings and wrote my own wedding script.<br /><br />Btw, Aren't you a man already? :PMinyunoreply@blogger.com
