"You are speeding!!!!"
"PLEASE SLOW DOWN!"
"There is a truck behind us.Please be careful.."
"Please keep to the left lane!"
O.K. That's me in a car (my husband is driving, of course).
Alright. Before you all start judging me, let me tell you this.
For one, I was being polite! Did you count the number of 'Pleases'?
And secondly, for a girl who has been under a bus and lived to tell the tale, this behavior is tolerable!
Yes, I have been there, where no one has ever dared to be.
"Literally under the bus!" Thank you for the Bravery Award! {blushing}
But that's not what I am getting at today. It's US ( No, not the United States). By US, I mean My Husband and Me.
For the first few years of our marriage, I thought it was God's Big Joke to get us married. (It must have been getting really boring up there). We were so different, we could have been from 2 different planets.
Our conversations sounded like Morse codes.
HE: Beeeep, beeep....
ME: Bip, bip, bip, bip, beeeeeep...
And other times it were like lexical ambiguities
HE: Woman off to jail for sex with boys
ME: Why? She din't find any boys outside the jail to have sex with?
HE: Stolen painting found by tree
ME: A tree found a stolen painting? now, that's strange!
And mostly we were eating each others souls out!!
ME : GET LOST, YOU DOG!!
HE: OK MRS DOG!
ME: AAARRGGGHH!!!
It's been 10 years now! Not that anything much has changed (we still are a weird couple), but somehow our marriage survived this far. I am still trying to figure out the reason.
Maybe over the years we discovered little things about each other that kept us together, maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome or maybe it's just that God must be really craving for some entertainment!
Well, whatever be the reason, the moral of the story is "If your marriage is weird in the first few years, give it 10 years and it will still be weird! ......and also that I am shit scared of travelling on road"
PS: Hodophobia, that's what the fear of travelling on road is called!
Please always be together and be happy , you are a very nice person.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you both;)
Definitely, thanks Aunt Mary!! :)
DeleteAh ha.... ten years! you're home and hosed now Nina!!
ReplyDeleteYou poor darling under a bus?? really?? OMG.
x
hard to believe, isn't it..10 years! phew!
Deleteyeah it was one crazy experience..
Congrats on 10 years! The power struggle in every relationship that happens after the honeymoon phase is never pretty. Glad you survived it -- many don't, of course. That video is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debra!
Delete..and the power struggle continues...
Where is the under the bus story?
ReplyDeleteThat one? I am better off not relating it!!
Deletethen again, maybe some other time...
Sorry for butting in on an all-girl comment list, but surely, one can't just help but FEEL for the the poor guy! What about Stockholm syndrome from his point of view!? See how he's stayed super-glued for a decade now? That's family for you!
ReplyDeleteHey Big B, when I wrote this, the Stockholm syndrome was meant to be mutual.. but now that you have made me think about it again,
Deletemy husband and expressing empathy and sympathy and having positive feelings??? Nay, I don't think so!!!!
and about being super-glued, remember, it takes 2 pieces to stick together! :)
You've been under a bus, I've tried to eat a dashboard...same results.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha .. for some unknown reason I can't stop laughing at this comment lol!
DeleteBlame it on my over-fertilized imagination :D
Hi Nina
ReplyDeleteYou sound just like my son in the car - he is always in a complete panic and yelling for us to slow down if we go over 40mph!
Love the story about you and your husband - it is strange how things end up and work out! I have been married nearly 14 years and most days we are just laughing at each other (guess it should be laughing together really!).
Have a wonderful day.

DeleteNext time we fight, I am just gonna sit and laugh..LOL
its a really nice visit of your blog:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Aisha
Deletehaha loved the prison joke. love your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteThanks Soul!
DeleteHahaha loving the little replies, I take it you both laugh at the little jokes made? Humour is the way to anyone's heart in my opinion... that and sometimes bacon and of course some other stuff not to be mentioned here
ReplyDeleteNo, Jamie, both don laugh. I laugh and he stares at me like I have lost it! LOL
DeleteNice funny post. Loved it dear! :-)
ReplyDeleteSomehow, my inspirations to write seems to be drying faster and for you, it seems to be coming up quite well! Keep at it!
oh thanks reNUka.. Its just that I have time on my hands with out anything better to do! :)
DeleteLovely post that made me smile. Congratulations for passing the 10 years, or a decade! Perhaps its the sense of humor that have kept both of you intact :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still wondering how you ended up under the bus, sounds scary!
Thanks Zunnur! oh the bus story was really scary... it gives me the creeps even now!!
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Thumbs up for 10 years mate, most only get to see a cloudy 3 or 4 years and others don't even get the ring, so congratulations. Some of those crazy sounding marriages are the ones that survive the best, so keep it up ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank God you survived seeing the underside of that bus and you're still here to tell us about it. Funny post Nina :) except the bus part of course.
Thank you, mate! yeah if a marriage has to survive, one of the two HAS to be crazy!
DeleteDear Nina
ReplyDeleteIf you would like to visit my blog when you have some time, there is something waiting for you over there - and there are no rules attached:)
Congratulations on 10 years, we had our 31st wedding anniversary last month - how time flies when you're having fun.
Thank you very much Michelle!! I just visited your blog and had a very pleasant surprise :)
Delete31 years?!? wow!! congratulations!!
Hi Nina, Visiting you from the Vintage Cobweb. Such an interesting site you have here, I've truly enjoyed stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHi Petty Witter, Welcome and thanks!
Delete"... by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
This is one of the wisest things that I have read! The minute I read it, I became your follower :)
Lol, I enjoyed your post Nina, thank you! After 32 years my husband and I have decided that we will probably stay together now... :) We like each other, and I remember someone describing divorce as an option that comes with its own set of drawbacks. So true.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your lexical ambiguities :)
And look forward to reading your follow-up post in 10 years... :)
hahaha, I LOVE your stories, you've got such a great sense of humour!!!!!
ReplyDeletemy theory: weird marriages last longer:-D
love
