Hmmm...just found that one of my uncles is having marriage problems after 10+years of marriage and now maybe going through a divorce with my ah kim.

Apparently they have stopped sleeping in the same room since my ah kim gave birth..dunno whats the reason..but anyway they have not talked to each other properly since many years ago and communication between them is virtually non-existent. Like they are just strangers living under the same roof with their 2 children.So i guess both of them are fed up of having to put up with each other for so long and i think my ah kim wasnt too happy with my uncle for money issues then she decided to find a lawyer to do the divorce papers.

My ah kim has always put the 2 children as her top priority so she makes them take endless lessons for tuition, music lessons etc. She has pinned all her hopes on her 2 children..but i feel that its not good to do that..because everybody can disappoint you, let alone your children. In the midst of earning money for their kids, my uncle and ah kim have failed to notice the cracks that have appeared in their marriage. Things dont happen suddenly, its usually a build up of small events that eventually trigger a breaking point.

Why do people stop loving each other and become total strangers? Does it start when you stop caring about the other person? Or maybe it starts when you stop communicating and voicing your unhappines to the other party.

i've seen my fair share of failed relationships/marriages around me that it sometimes gets abit disconcerting. Like is there no such thing as happily ever after?

Other things are happening in my family that makes me worried but im living each day as it comes. I'm glad that me, my brother and sister are there for each other through these difficult times. Like i used to think my bro was a pest and make me exasperated sometimes.. but whatever happened recently made me re-think and realize that i should not take the people around me for granted. I trust God that whatever plans he has for my family and for the people dear to me, he has his reasons.

Anybody can be alive and dead the next second. No matter what plans we make for ourselves, we forget that God is the one that ultimately decides what happens next.
