Burst bubble?

The good life could be over,I suppose it was inevitable. I have been told to go home and get a job -only with more expletives - and suppose it is not bad advice. I think I have gone from one extreme to the other and become the stereotypical male.My list of irritants include the following:

1) Never showing any interest in what my wife Says.

2) Although not said, clearly believed that I am incapable of sorting out the slightest problem.

3) No support while she "works her arse off to make this a success".

I could go on but won't bore you with the details. I don't know where and when it went wrong but the unbreakable unit seems suddenly very vulnerable with both 'A' and I unable to communicate for more than a day without war breaking out. Maybe it is the weather! A sudden shift in barometric pressure has caused us both to go barking, maybe it is the pressure of living so far away from friends and family, or maybe it is the 7 year itch! Who knows,but I might be seeing some of you sooner than expected!

Maybe it is just "one of those things". You can't really expect to live in the environment we do without having the odd explosion at each other.It wouldn't be healthy to be blissfully happy all the time would it?

Anyway, 'A' stormed off to work this morning and no doubt was cursing me as I was her. It was with great anger and emotion,while looking down my "job list" that my spirits were raised again.

One of my duties for the day sandwiched between post office and book flights for Trivandrum was Put net curtains back up in car! Not the sort of job most people have each day is it? It suddenly hit me just how different a life we are leading. Even though the abnormal has started to become normal for us here it doesn't mean that it is.

We have to remember why we came here, the sacrifices we made and the problems it may cause and perhaps make a few extra allowances for each other. Perhaps I need to listen better than I think I do, perhaps I am not being supportive and while we are being honest admit to being rubbish at problem solving! At the same time maybe "A" needs to remember that this is not always easy for me. I don't sit on my arse watching Oprah all day and sometimes find my new role tough. Maybe we need to remember why we came and how good it is 99 per cent of the time. Maybe I should stop looking for flights to England and give her a call. Worth a try, if not see you soon!!
