Since the start of this year, Tim
officially joined the working world alongside me, fighting the corporate
battle. And i have to say, we are not impervious to this change and this
new environment has been impacting our romance by quite a bit.
Why i say so is because at the end of each
day, we've become two deadbeat zombies that cannot wait to crawl into bed after
a mind-numbing work day.
That's all we're really interested in.
Dinner and sleep.
Which suitably explains the lack of dating
posts or anything remotely close to an update on my blog. Because i've been
doing nothing but sleep and squeeze in the time to exercise 30 mins a day. And weekends are just for the compensation for all
the sleep we’ve lost during the weekdays and by the time we're up, half a day has passed us by. The rest of our scarce time is usually spent with families and friends until the wee
hours of the morning in which we get too tired once again.
Oh, it's a vicious cycle i tell you.
I'm honestly baffled by how a working
couple can keep the romance alive in their relationship when Tim and i, as
young as we are, are always
Too tired to function
#truestory
Finances also play a huge part in this
downfall of romance as well because suddenly as a working adult, you're capable
of earning your keep and paying your own bills that used to be paid for by your
parents. And boom! you're saddled with study loans and
miscellaneous bills that keep your eyeballs up to debt and you wonder if this
will be your life for your entire life. So much so that dating seems to become
an additional burden to bear especially with Singapore being voted as the most
expensive city to live in.
It just one-ups the entire depressing
situation we have on hand right now.
In this case, how in the world are we
supposed to keep the romance alive? I know it's definitely doable but i would
presume also incredibly challenging and requires super budget-planning skills.
I definitely hope this is not our future in time to come.
I definitely hope this is not our future in time to come.
So as one half of a working couple, wish
me luck while i hunt for the tips and tricks to surviving this romance apocalypse.
We need to keep our love alive!
Till then,
Melissa
