Being Married Part I

We spent an entire month together, living in our weekend home in Kuala Selangor where it was just the 2 of us... When I went back to work... the no.1 question that I was asked was of course: "How's married life?"

To me... married life is different... and kinda funny...

Bedroom Horror

We both have not had the experience of staying together over a long period of time prior to us getting married. At most, 10 days when we go on trips or holidays... So the first thing that we needed to adjust ourselves to... was our sleeping positions, patterns and habits...

OWLoon said he was terrified of falling off the bed cos' I have a habit of sleeping in the middle of the bed... and hogging all the blanket too... But I too was terrified... of him punching me in my nose or kicking me in my ass whenever he stretches his arms or flexes his legs in his semi-conscious state!

Open Sex "Discussions"

If there's one thing that embarasses the hell out of us would be family members and "concerned" relatives openly asking us to f*ck more to make babies... or f*ck without protections and leave it to fate... Each time they mention it... we just smile and keep quiet cos' honestly... what sort of answers do they expect from us? If we say we're trying... then wouldn't that leave them with a visual image of us fornicating? If we say, we want to wait first... they'll go into their M16-mode lecture on the 1,001 reasons as to why we should f*ck NOW and f*ck furious (without protections).

So ya... being married is definitely awkward... considering that our sex life is publicly discussed wherever (at home, at restaurants etc) and whenever (over a cup of tea, over dinner, while watching TV etc)... No warning... just BOOM!!! "Are you guys busy making babies?"

Being Domesticated

Since we have the whole house to ourselves... we had to sweep, vacuum, mop, disinfect and practically do whatever it takes to keep our home clean... EVERY OTHER DAY!!! But us being LAZY adults... we never had to do any of those chores at home... so needless to say... it was pretty damn hard...

Like how I spent ages sweeping only to discover that Mr. Vacuum does the job faster and more efficiently... Or how OWLoon spent hours handling pleat curtains before stumbling on the secret formula to the spacing required between hooks...

It was tiring... and back breaking... but we made it a point to compliment each other's efforts... and that alone... made it all worthwhile and satisfying...
