Like Carrie Bradshaw once said "do we date the same men?"
Many of my friends including my sister thinks I do. They all think I need to have a brain scan because I keep Falling in Love with the same kind of men. One of my ex bosses accused me of being a Ball Gazer. He is of the opinion that I fall for dickheads and when you love their "dickheads" thats exactly what you will end up with- A DICKHEAD!
I celebrated my 41st birthday last year and I made some mental notes to change, to rebrand myself and look for qualities in men that I have failed in the past.
I wasnt looking for anyone, I had no one in mind when a friend of mine introduced me to this kinda of goodlooking guy. Within 2 minutes of introduction I was warned by my friend that he is a player, a womaniser, a serial cheater and 1 month later I dated him. My reason to all my friends was that he was just a void filler as I had just gone through a second divorce...I managed (i think) to convince them that I have matured and have learnt my lesson. I needed a companion who didnt have to be faithful to me because we were not in an exclusive relationship.
My void filler filled my void till today-10 months later. He has moved in with me. I am in love with me or so I thought. I always fall in love. I am such a hopeless romantic and he was like all the other men I dated suave.
He made me happy and contented. He was not a typical male chauvinist. He made me feel cared for, protected and safe. I slept well at night in his arms and I havent fell that way for quite a long time.
But good things hardly ever lasts. We became less intimate. We would still hold hands all the time, hug each other, kiss but he stopped being sexually intimate. Well not totally but very infrequent it made me feel undesired. We talked about it and he blamed it on work stress. I insisted he undergo a hormone profile blood test and the results came out normal. I did the stupidest thing and asked if he was sleeping with someone else and of course he said NO darling..there isnt anyone else in my life except you. I love you is what he says to me everyday.
When things were good and I was the happiest woman alive, I always wondered what would our first argument be ever about because I was just so happy and he was so nice, sincere and genuine to me.
The first argument turned out to be about sex followed by his frequent visits in Ipoh where he works. It was fine in the beginning. He would be gone for 3 days in a week and I would have him with me for the rest of the week.
Now things have changed tremendously, he would go away to Ipoh for 3 days and call me on the 3rd day to tell me he has to stay there for another day or two. It was still fine with me until recently he has been away more often then he is with me. no sex and less of him- i am a heartbroken person today. My heart is shattered once again.
We have talked, we have had our discussion, we wrote emails and sms..and we are still where we are. Shattered. Devastated. Frustrated. Brokenhearted and worse of all I feel like a failure once again.
