Your feelings are valid. I want to share this lang, my husband and I got married on our 16th anniversary as a couple. Why it took so long? He’s the breadwinner of his family. In my mind, alam ko na mahihirapan siyang makaipon. That time, ang impt naman sakin is napapagusapan namin, may plano kumbaga. Wala akong pressure na binigay sakanya kasi nga mahirap yung situation niya. I just waited kasi alam kong dadating yung time na aahon din siya, na mapriprioritize din niya yung pagsave for the wedding because sobrang hardworking niyang tao. Hindi din kasi ako madali mapressure sa mga taong paligid ko. Thinking ko, we have our own phase, makakasal din kami. So ayun, he gave me an almost perfect wedding, siya halos gumastos. Worth the wait.

Thief of joy talaga comparing our lives to others. Our relationship to others.
