Prior to being married to Ms G, I thought that she would be able to change from all the things that I irked. I had some hesitation and cold feet as we had constant arguments about little things like how we should exercise and do activities together even though we had similar interests. G seemed to be demanding in her ways and wanted to control my life, such as who I hung out with and how much time I spent with my friend. However, she always apologised first after our quarrel, which was a redeeming factor. We were together for 4 years and I could not bring up the topic of breaking up. We have already acquired a flat together. After our wedding, our dating relationship transited into a stormy one with regular quarrels from housework, to time spent with in- laws, to what we eat during meals and how we like to spend our money. Our marriage ended up in divorce after 8 years. On hindsight, it could have been better if we had sought counselling prior to marriage, to decide if we are really suited together and if we could really work out the issues and be able to take ownership to change.
