I’ve studied theology and some psychology. I’m a certified life-coach and have some knowledge about the inner dynamics of relationships. Sometimes I think I get it.
And then I realize I don’t understand my fiancee at all.
After dinner I went to church choir. Suddenly I get a message from her. My search history from my phone. Full of porn. Only, I know I’m clean as can be for almost three months now straight. Then I realize its from my old phone, which I recently started using again to get some old pics and vids. The her message came “When did you do these searches?” And in my head her voice was full of hurt and aggression. I explained that it hat to be long in the past. and she answered “The last time I checked your phone, it wasn’t in your search history”. I just told her, that I didn’t relapse in the last three months.
When I came home, we had a longer conversation. She was rather calm. And I realized, that my head read it out loud in a completely other tone than she had meant.
Conversation made a few unexpected turns. Finaly she revelaed, that one of my comments did hurt her pretty much. Because I didn’t get the underlying message of her comment but only what the words said.
Then I postponed our discussion. I still had a lot to do: writing my journal, writing my coach. And foremost, getting a clear head.
She seemed a bit hurt when I left. But I need to set my boundaries, even for my depressed fiancee.
I was gone an hour and suddenly she sent me a video of us dancing. From easier times. Times without so much worries, Times we both miss.
And then she sent me a song. Title was “Saying yes”. And I didn’t know what it was about. Part of me suspected, it’s a song about someone always forced to say yes all the time. I didn’t wanna listen to this.
But then I thought, just listen to it. Then I realized: I don’t understand Women at all. Not even my fiancee.
Here are the lyrics. enjoy
I would say yes
Would you ask me today
Would carry your name
Would you ask me today
Thought I knew what love was
A few endorphins, a little “I love you” here and there
But since I’ve known you, I know I’ve never really been in love
I thought: “They’re all exaggerating
This feeling, no, it never lasts”
But since I’ve known you, I know I’ve never really been in love
Where have you been my whole life?
Could lie with you forever, babe, I won’t lie
I would say yes
If you’d ask me today
Would carry your name
Would you ask me today
I never wanted this, but suddenly I want it forever
Your ring on my finger forever
I’d say yes
I would say yes
Somehow you fixed me
I realize I like myself more with you
I’ll be honest, I’ve never been more me than next to you
Because you don’t want to change me
And that has changed me
I’m honest, I’ve never been as safe as I am with you
Where have you been all my life?
I want to stay with you forever, I swear that would be enough for me
I would say yes
If you’d ask me today
Would carry your name
Would you ask me today
I never wanted this, but suddenly I want it forever
Your ring on my finger forever
I’d say yes
I would say yes
