How would you react to seeing your ex-boyfriend after a few years? Would you go out with him once again, by any chance?
Yes! I dated my ex-boyfriend. But wait. Before your eyes grow wide and you start lifting your eyebrows, why not read the rest of the story first?
I have been married for six years and have three children with my one and only boyfriend, pakner4lyf. For this, I always brag about how blessed he is to be my first and last boyfriend, and sadly for me, that was just a joke. I am happy to be married to the only man who captivated my heart. Since then, I have recognized the importance of commitment in any relationship. With that, I started to set standards and reminded myself that I won't enter into a commitment with any guy I don't consider marrying in the first place. We don't have a perfect love story, but God has been good to bless our relationship from courtship to the marriage altar, and now we are growing together as husband and wife.
A significant difference exists between married life and the boyfriend/girlfriend stage. I just remembered how thrilled I was when he visited our house and invited me on a date. (Kakaibang kilig talaga!) That thrill began to fade after marriage. I saw him every day, making it feel ordinary to be with him, and even when we had a chance to go out, it seemed nothing was unusual. Now, with our three precious treasures, our attention is mainly on them, leaving little time to care for each other's needs, and that shouldn't be the case. We do take time to go out, but it's always rushed; one of us usually has important business to attend to, and most of the time, we end up going out with our three treasures, so there's no quality time for us.
On Sunday, April 28, since our wedding anniversary, I prepared to spend quality time with him as he asked me to go out. That Sunday was not part of our typical schedule. Still, our responsible church volunteers managed our children's feeding program that afternoon, and I heard that everything went well even without us. Our three treasures stayed with my parents, as we requested. Therefore, there's no reason to worry about them, and we can freely enjoy special time together.
Dating my ex-boyfriend was fun, let me put it that way- with excitement! During our travels, once we reached our destination and returned home, I truly enjoyed discussing everything I had missed doing for some time. This again reminded me of why I loved him, the reasons I chose to live with him for the rest of my life, and why I should continue to love him. From now on, I will keep dating my ex-boyfriend.
