Monster in law




I was watching tv yesterday night and a trailer for this movie came on and i couldn't help but laugh. You see about a year ago I watched this with my ex's mother. Back then we ( my ex, his mother and i ) laughed about it and how it was absurd and that it would never happen to us. Boy was I wrong. I should've taken that movie as a sign coz what came after was absolute HELL!!

Of course she didn't put me through the same ordeal as the movie but trust me it was equally bad. One thing i wished I had done, I wished I'd uphold my dignity. Show her what sort of person I am. Fight the way Jennifer Lopez did. Ohh I wished for that. Then again, Jennifer had a reason to fight coz her man stood by her where as mine well...he was tired. That meant the relationship won't work. So i gave up. I don't see the point of fighting for a relationship when my other half has already given up before the war even started.

The thing is how far can we fight. The sad thing about being asian is, if you were to pull the same stunt Jennifer pulled you would be labeled as the DEVIL WOMAN! and no way in hell would you be able to marry your man and if you did, she (mother in law) would make your life a living HELL! or worse they'd go to those kampung bomoh (witch doctors) and come back with all those voo doo crap!

When you think about it, marriage is scary. Not only do you have to tolerate a new environment, you have to tolerate all sort of bullshit from the immediate family. If you are a muslim girl is worse because you have to follow where ever you husband goes and normally at the beginning of the marriage you have to stay in his family home. That my friend is not a pretty picture. When there's two alpha woman living under one roof, expect bad things to happen.

Oh well, Im glad that it didn't happen. I thank God everyday for protecting me. Shielding me from all the melodrama. Don't get me wrong it hurt as hell when it ended but at least i was spared a lifetime of sorrow. Many thanks to God!! I love you..
