When People don't matter Any more January 23, 2018 I'm always fascinated to couples who took their relationship for ages before they tie the knot. I think that is the sweetest - considering this day and internet age when we can even woo a girl using a webcam or skype. Ana and Peter became an item in 2009 and they decided to take their relationship into a higher level a year after of being together. And so to cut the story short, they got married, were blessed with beautiful children and lived a life of their own as husband and wife. Theirs is not a perfect relationship. Ana has a different point of view when it comes to her faith and so with Peter. Peter is a Roman Catholic and got very strong catholic foundation and you wouldn't dare invite him to any other church with a different faith for you will not succeed. Ana on the other hand had been searching for a Church that can truly help her with her faith. She did not succeed. And so she decided to make her heart her own Church and talking to God in her silence is her own version of going to Church. Peter is no less than a good provider for he brings food to the table and provides clothing and allowance. He pay for the bills. He call himself the Superman. Ana on the other hand takes care of the kids and works as a housewife 24 by 7 with only 30 minutes maximum nap time during the day and 6 hours maximum sleep time during the night. She don't bring food to the table that's for sure but she cooks them. She can't pay the bills but she always makes sure that bills are manageable by saving the energy and managing the water consumption. She can't even buy her own clothes but she does the laundry and the dishes. Maybe for Peter she is not a Superwoman but to her kids, she is. One day Peter come home from work coughing so hard and Ana asked her,"are you drinking cold beverage again? and are you smoking again? the doctor advised you to stop doing them. " Peter in disgusted voice answered, "there you go again accusing me of things I didn't do." One day Ana received a private message from a long time friend in facebook. The message says.. "I saw your husband last night. He is smoking with his friends in front of Seattles Best." Ana did not have to ask her husband again about the smoking. The situation used her friend to vindicate her. The moral lesson of Ana and Peter's story? When person don't matter to you anymore, you start to hide things from them and you start to be hard headed and deliberately not following what they advise you to do or not to do. To cut the moral lesson short, if you don't care anymore that's when you stop loving and if you stop loving you start lying about simple things.
