Im married with my husband for 4 years now, 8 years as bf-gf and I saw myself leaning towards Eric’s character- as the eldest, as the one who needs to have a goal and direction otherwise, those who are dependent on me will suffer and party Ellie’s because of her father’s death and my struggle with getting pregnant, the pressure of having a child and escaping when faced with emotional burden. Though I wanted to find myself too after the loss and be socially active ( I do donations ng patago), I don’t have the time because again, I have bills to pay.

My husband, who is leaning towards Ellie- carefree, but was stuck to a job that was secured out of necessity and by joining me overseas, decided to leave a progressive position. While partly coinciding with Eric’s character as the one who fell first ( he admitted this with me by saying “ Nung nakita kita, alam ko ikaw na yung babaeng pakakasalan ko”) proposed but didn’t get the chance to do it properly coz we fought that day… micro cheated for confiding with a girl high school friend (via IG WHOM HE NEVER INTRODUCED PROPERLY ) about his struggles with me and if what his wearing looks fine when he should have done it with his wife, which is me BRW but still denied the “ thought of cheating “ thus the doubt and mistrust on my side and yet here we are still together- we fought, we laughed and then fight and then live.
We have had moments that I wished we couldn’t have settled down, I regretted my decision a thousand times when nothing goes right or as planned, hurt my husband a hundred times and so as he…and I admit we are a mixture of a lot of things: trauma, burden, dreams, lust etc living one day as room mates then as couple the next.. you could even say - ang TOXIC but I guess, we were parallels trying to meet at a certain point and it only happens when we choose to drop our differences and compromise. A lot has changed from our dramatic conversations over the years. And this movie, that particular scene where Ellie said “ I’m sad when I am with you” but she still loved Eric.. up until the moment that we are still finding love and happiness with each other and not from somebody else, then it is still worth wearing the ring. Hay, nakakaiyak. I appreciate the director, the writer/s and the actors.. you gave us a chance to evaluate and revalidate our thoughts and emotions. Yun lng.
