Was doing my CNY visiting and when I realized that my cousin and his girlfriend or should I say fiancee was not around, I curiously approached my aunt (which is his mum) and asked how come this year my cousin and the fiancee didn't turn up for visitations. My aunt told me that they have broke off as the girl has found someone new and left my cousin. I was shocked and asked what happened exactly and what about the flat they had bought shortly after me, which is still under construction. My aunt then told me that the both of them, who never ever did have an argument before in their few years of relationship, suddenly had a major big argument and they called off the engagement and broke up. The girl then found someone else and refused to give my cousin another chance. My cousin now depressed, has decided to not attend any CNY visitations to relatives' house. He rather stay home alone and play his game to vent his frustrations and sadness. My next concern was for the downpayment of at least 20k. My aunt said she had no idea as my cousin refused to tell her more information on the payment and stuff... In fact, he has refused to speak about the break up in detail with her also...
This scenario of break up, depressed, escaping from relatives and CNY visitation has reminded me of my brother in law's situation. He didn't even eat reunion dinner with the family and went off to Genting for the long weekend and only came back today. He left for Genting on CNY evening before reunion dinner and claimed he was rushing off. My poor parents in law had to gave in to him and allowed him to go off without the traditional reunion dinner with the family.
I was wondering is this now the 'sensitive new-age guy' that people often talk about. The girl left them heartbroken and they choose to sink into depression, avoiding relatives even in such a traditional joyous occasion, leaving their own parents to explain for their absence and answering relatives on their behalf...
I wonder if I ever do leave my husband, would he be so 痴情 also? Would be as depressed as his brother or like my cousin? Would he even bother to initiate reconciliation with me?
Anyway, this year isn't a good year for me and my marriage... So I have to safe-guard it and try to prevent any misunderstandings or miscommunications... Haiz... God bless!
