I am so...
I am fumingly angry with somebody. SOMEBODY whose name shall not be mentioned.
Time and time, this SOMEBODY will always take out my request to whine, complain and nag.
Sometimes out of the blue, sometimes when I mentioned about marriage.
Everytime he goes: "Because of your STUPID diamond ring la... if not we can faster get married already..."
OR
"All because you want the ring la... if not we can go apply flat liao"
He only knows how to tiu tiu and tiu... And make it seems like I am fucking unreasonable. Seems so unreasonable that even my closest friend thinks I am. Am I unreasonable? To him, yes. He thinks that I am asking for something way beyond his capability and means. He thinks that I like the ring and that's why I want him to get it for me, before I agree to marry him.
He simply belongs to that typical Singaporean men. Go apply flat can already.
Look.
The ring I asked for, is:
Not more than 0.4 ct
No more than an E colour(E or F also can)
Clarity I dun give much damn as long it is at least VS1
The only thing is that it is a celestial
Very unreasonable meh?
I know he can't afford a big one. That's why I say a .38 or so. Think I dun want be like other people get a 0.5 ct ring meh?
He only look things at his own perspective. Always digging at how cham he is, how pitiful and tied he is. Did he ever think of how I feel?
It's not that I have never explained to him before. I did tell him how I feel, how I look at the situation.
To me, a marriage proposal is a formal and official request to ask a woman you really love, to spend the rest of her life with you. To set up a family together, to watch your kids grow, to endure whatever hardship, happiness together and eventually, grow old together. I think the proposal has to be sincere, and of course comes with it is a proposal ring, a ring significant enough to ask for her hand. I feel the significance of the proposal ring shows how much sincerity and effort the guy has put it. How much he 重视 the girl, to ask her to be his wife.
That's why I told him before, I will never trade in my proposal ring for anything else or any better diamond. How it holds alot of importance and meaning to me.
But the message I get from him is that he thinks I wanna tok him a nice ring for proposal. But come on, have I ever been finanically dependent on him? For so many times that we have gone on holiday, when did I ever expect him to pay for my expenses? Even the hotel cost we also split half one. Does he think I am really that materialistic? Even if I want to pursue luxurious stuff, I will always depend on myself to get it. When have I ever open my mouth and demand him to buy things for me?
I am boiling hot with disappointment now. With tears filled to the brim of my eyes.
And further to that, the ring is the only thing I ever asked for. I did not demand for:
-a grand wedding dinner at a posh 5 star hotel
-a superb wedding package
-a photoshoot that allows me to change up to 8 costumes
-a pair of platinum designer brand wedding bands
And, it has always been my dream that I wanna get ROM and customary together. It has always been. But he has explained to me before that financially he is not able to realise it. So ok. I dropped that idea and agreed to ROM first and custom a year later. Does he know how much a wedding mean to a girl?
There was even a period where he suggested that the wedding shoot package can go JB take. Coz cheaper. And I actually agreed ok.
I have already tried to understand him and the situation, and give ways to make things easier for the both of us. Why can't he see it?
If I am really stubborn and unreasonable, I could have always insisted my way.
He doesn't know that by always complaining that I am being too demanding for the ring, it hurts. It always hurts. Time and time, when I am at home, when I think about this, I will hide under my pillow and weep.
After so much emotional struggle, I think the purpose of the ring and proposal isn't there anymore. Even if he really comes with the ring I want, it already seems like I "force" him to get it. It will only freeze the fact that I am pathetic. What's the point? There isn't any meaning anymore. I dun want the ring anymore.
And, how much I envy Noelle. I really envy her. She has been married for coming 4 years, and when they got married, her hubby did not get her any diamond ring coz that time not much spare cash as all finances went to the wedding. But her hubby did promised her one day he will get her a diamond ring. The path after marriage of coz is not smooth, they had their fair share of quarrels and disagreements. Now 4 years later, her sweet hubby actually secretly save up for several months, just to fulfill that promise. So sweet! See, even though married already still can do such sweet act. So in the end, after he saved up to a sufficient sum he broke the news to her and brought my delighted friend to choose the ring together. If I were Noelle I would have broken down and cried with tears of joy already. The significance is not the ring, it is the heart that counts. Of coz I am happy for my friend to see her so blissed. But at the same time it just magnifies on how pathetic I am.
p/s: I mean I dun want it as in it as a proposal ring. Of course, my love for celestial will always be there. I will surely buy it one day to pamper myself. Maybe can get a smaller one first, then upgrade a couple of years later. Anyway they will eat back the full value. But not now la, now I broke. Haha. A few months later after I have scrimped and saved enough.
p/p/s: I know he loves and dotes on me alot. But, he just don't understand me well enough inside.
p/p/p/s: I dun care even if he reads this entry. Actually I know he will. But I did not blog this entry as a defiant act. I swear. I feel that this should be my own space for me to yell and scream my frustrations, to cry over my sorrows, and to remember the happy moments.
