One Great Love

Earlier, a friend told me something that I found really interesting. Apparently, I have an avid blog reader. This person (which FYI I do not expect to be reading my blog) had actually bookmark this blog for easy access.

My husband and I had a laugh over this piece of juicy information. After being accused of being insecure, it is ironic to find out that the person accusing me of insecurity spends precious minutes reading my blog.

After having our laughs, Erbe and I settled for a philosophical discussion about love. I asked him why he thinks some people cannot seem to get over their past loves. I gave my reader as an example. He shrugged, not really knowing the answer.

I, however, suggested an answer. I said to some people, like my reader, it's hard to let go of someone you deeply regret losing especially when this person loved you with all his heart. It's hard to lose someone when you know that no one will ever loved you as much as this person had. Well, this is just my theory. I might be wrong.

Afterwards, we talked of One Great Love. You see, you might be married to someone but your One Great Love may not be that person. It is at this juncture that we talked of my buddy, Marlon.

The other day, Marlon called me up and was moaning over his breakup with his current girlfriend. Now, Marlon is the first boyfriend of my bestfriend, Tin. It was only in that conversation that I told Marlon that during that time he last saw Tin to tell her that he is moving on with another girl (after their breakup), Tin was hoping that he was there to get back together with her.

Marlon was devastated. He finally admitted to me that he was hoping that she was going to tell him that she still loved him and that she didn't want for him to leave her.

After telling my husband this, we then talked of our own "One Great Love". My husband owns my heart and I own his. But I know I am not his One Great Love. We talked about this. I told him that I know his One Great Love will always be the girl whom he fell in love with when he was 12 years old -- the same girl that he loved until he met me. Ypu see...until I came along, he never loved anyone as much as he loved that girl.

Now, my husband knows that I have my own story. I would like to think that my husband is my One Great Love -- but I am still ambivalent about this. I still do not know if he is. He knows this too and we are at peace with this.

We both know that we both have our own stories -- our love stories. What matters is that he is the man I would always want to go to sleep with at night. With each other, we are at peace.

Erbe and I are pretty comfortable talking about these things; and I realized that after four years, my husband has also turned into my bestfriend.

ahhh some people just find it hard to let go I think specially after realizing they let go of something real good...

about one great love... I think is the one that will surpass time and trials... but like you still ambivalent in naming who it is for me but for sure my hunny right now is my soul mate and we compliment each other despite having different views about everything and different upbringing.

Ah.. I guess if there's one Great Love for my fiance.. will be me?? There's no one who loves me as much as my fiance... seriously. And love at first sight too.
I do have stories but I'm not telling..:P
No point in raking up all the wounds that used to hurt a lot.

Most people let go in time... it's hard to lose the love of your life.

Gorgeous earthling, first off, I'd really like to know your name. :)
Admittedly, you're really really pretty but I'd really like to know the name. :)
My hubby too is my soul mate.

Beth, it's my hubby's ex who keeps reading my blog. It's creepy but at least she contributes to the hits.

Sangeeta, thanks! I'm going to check out your blog.

Sher, you talked about you being your fiancee's one Great Love and I don't doubt that. who could resist you? heeee.. But is he your One Great Love?

Dawn, I think I understand that but I think that when the person has moved on, you have to move on yourself. And reading his wife's blog does not help at all.

Pie,that is really creepy!I know how u feel, my hubby is also his ex's great love. I think she's still inlove with him till now.
As for me, my hubby is my ONE GREAT LOVE.I think I didn't even really what true love is till I met him.

Hi Jade,

It's really, really creepy. it's been years and years. Someone who used to work for her told me that she has been reading my blog. In fact, she had it bookmarked for easy access. Obviously, she's still reading it because she's reacting to what I write.

It's really weird.

Anonymous said...

omg that must be so weird. if she's been reading your blog, she must like you to some extent! because it will be impossible not to. sadly she might be addicted and won't stop.

awww that's so cute with you and your husband. well look at it this way, your journey has only begun, so you could both end up being each other's great loves!!!! this is like a lovely movie!! [sigh]

Tami Daun said...

Wow! A little creepy. On the other hand, it is so nice that you and hubby are so peaceful and happy together!

As I said, I'm not telling. I always believe to cherish the present and forget all the past. :)
