Long distance Romance

How to maintain long distance romance? There is an article on today's newspaper on how a healthy sexual relationship will affect the couple's relationship as we will release a hormone that bonds us together. A couple engaged in good sexual relationship will be healthier and happy too because yes we also release happy hormones.

I think the researh is true as I find myself grumpy and cross when Joe was away. We have communication breakdown as he wanted to talk here at Aussie and yet i had my hands full with children and other chores in Singapore. We even quarrelled a lot and I gave him the cold shoulder and refused to answer to his calls. I was stressed with getting everyone used to our new place, trying to sell my HDB flat, doing my new job, getting my sons to complete their homework and getting them to go school. Yes, they refused to go school many times in that year. Later that we had to ferry them for DAS lesson and I did half load. With all these, my mother in law was cranky as she was not used to the new place and I can't communicate with her. Furthermore, I had a change of 4 maids. So many things to handle and yet the partner not around can drive people nuts. With no one to put a pat on my shoulder and kiss away the tears when I feel sad, I felt so resentful of Joe as well. To be truthful, I became quite suspicious on how he spent his time here in Australia too. Was he having fun and leaving the shit to me in Singapore? So many bad feelings really put a strain on our relationship.

In fact now my family is happily together and we also struggle together day to day basis. Struggling as parenting is a 24/7 job. We have new advantures and experience everyday when our kids are around. Never boring with them around.

I never look back on my decision to join Joe even though I feel bad leaving our aged parents back in Singapore. A couple's relationship will be strengthen if they had to crave a future together in a foreign land. Xiang1 yi1 wei2 ming4 and so the emotional and physical support is enhanced.

We now live quite simply and even though not much luxuries but we are definitely feeling more fulfilling and happy.
