CNY 2017

Happy Lunar Year to all!
This is the 2nd CNY that I celebrated with my parents since I remarried and decided to make myself transparent to the nosy relatives for CNY gatherings. This is also the 2nd CNY that I attended my husband's side of CNY as a married couple.
Throughout all the gatherings and visitations that we went, many thoughts run through my mind as well as I had mixed feelings, which I didn't vocalized to my husband. However, most of my thoughts were positive. I felt lucky, loved, respected and well-supported by my husband, who accompanied me to my family gathering and making special visits to those relatives, who are dear and close to me. He didn't complain about how the long the drive was to Jurong East, neither did he get too upset that the schedule for his grandmother's place was delayed due to delays at my auntie's house for lunch. Of course, I had compared him to my ex-husband, who would have long given me a 'black face' or outwardly shown his displeasure, making me embarrassed and indirectly forcing me to cut short all my CNY visitations. My ex-husband won't even accompany me to go to friend's place for any events, what more CNY visitations?
Every time there is an event that I would prefer him to attend with me, he would oblige and be with me. I do the same for him too.
I am glad that I made the right choice in choosing my husband this time round. However, I always have this insecurity that history will repeat itself and he will change in the way the precious jerk did. Hence, I won't be complacent and be contented as the days goes by.
I am just thankful for every day that he doesn't morph into a bastard like my previous one did. Amen.
