A Man's View

Cat did say that this blog will only display problems faced by women everywhere. But for this once, cat will just make an exception and put this e-mail in "Heart Matters"

The e-mail:
I was going through the blogs and I need to say my mind on this. It's not only women who has suffered, cat. Most of my married life, I have always backed down as I loved my wife so much. But this is still not enough for her.

I can paint for you,cat,a rather cold picture of life. A guy falls madly in love with a girl. At first she pretended to refuse his overwhelming attention, then only to give in later on. The years went by, comes marriage and children. The guy is still in love, but time has taken its toll and things started to change. It was the wife who changed, actually. The night became cold and lonely. While the husband sleeps alone, waiting for the wife to join him in bed, the wife is still watching her favorite show on tv.

The next morning, as usual, the guy wakes up early to pray, wakes up the kids and get ready to prepare breakfast for them. The kids are all ready for school, while the wife is still sound asleep. Being angry about the whole scenario is useless as it will start quarrels. The kids may end up without a father or getting a new mother.

I know that it is not my fault as in the office others laugh at my jokes. They lend a sympathetic ear to my problems. This is probably because I am their senior officer. It might or might not be genuine but at least they laugh, at least they listen. At home, the respond is either a blatant display of indifference or complete disregard of my feelings and emotions.

So tell me, cat, what is life if this drags on forever? The only beautiful moments left are those in his memories, of days when chocolates and greeting cards were often, smile and tender touch were common...
