Relations with boyfriend Maiyuu are back on track after a rough two days in which we argued, fought, and wondered why were still living with each other.
Maiyuu’s health has been shaky lately. He comes down with chest colds often, and finds he has to spend the day on the couch.
I am working long days, and could do with his support around home. When he is unwell, however, I have to do without, which increases the pressure on me, and (he would argue) makes life harder for Maiyuu as well.
‘You won’t let me recover for even one day. You walk around home wearing a foul look, as if I am a lazy good-for-nothing, when just the day before I might have put in a full day’s work in the kitchen, running the household, and caring for you,’ he says.
At the height of the drama, both of us wished we could have been elsewhere. I tell myself that if I keep my head down, and mouth closed, within a short time the tensions will have passed.
And so they do. Today is a new day, and I feel as if we are making a new beginning.
Maiyuu is back to making his usual acerbic comments about the large, insensitive farang with whom he shares his life. I am back to making my usual silken speeches about how, after a glorious 10 years together, we cannot afford to part.
PS: Sorry if that sounds a little cynical. I really am delighted that relations are back on a normal, if still shaky footing. The process of rebuilding, vital to the success of any relationship, has now resumed in earnest.
