i am still amazed on how communication creates miracle in a relationship.
i mean, it has never worked on me before. i have never communicated that well in any of my relationships, therefore missed communication, disappointment, unspoken resentment during the relationship are just common. it happened. frequently.
this time, it feels different.
and it’s not even a real relationship!
but surprisingly, it gives me a bit of learning.
and how by learning it, i can feel really good about myself. about him. about this so-called-relationship.
remember the one who fought with me over the unspoken calls? and how we unexpectedly, made up an hour or so afterward?
apparently he listened to me when i complained.
how i prefer him answering my calls just to let me know that he’s in a meeting (therefore he cannot take my call) rather than not answering it at all.
so, right now he answers to almost every calls i made. even during meetings. even when he was online with someone else. and i am prudent enough to understand the situation and usually hang up not more than 30 seconds after that.
and guess what?
this makes me not calling him that much anymore.
usually when i need to tell him something, i just text. i don’t need his prompt response, i just need him to know what i want to say.
we talk, when both of us available.
the calls usually happened on his way home, or in the mornings – when he’s on his way to the office (any office he has, hehe).
we didn’t manage to talk last night, therefore he called me this morning.
we had our morning-call tradition, which had been disappearing for few months.
the call we both enjoy, because we really can talk about ANYthing without having to force ourselves because we actually feel too exhausted from a day’s work.
i don’t know about him, but i definitely love our morning talks.
(oh well, he loves it too, he once said it to me
)
ah.
it feels so good right now!
hahahahaha.
and you know the best thing is?
i know part of the reason we’re working out so well right now, is because he’s finally willing to adapt himself to me.
i have never asked him to change much, you know, only about the communication thing. but it took me maybe a year and numerous complaints, before he finally decided to change his habit a little. to finally answer his call even when he’s not available to take it.
and i really appreciate this change.
really, i do.
for the past few days, i am still often amazed when he answered (and told me he’s in a meeting, or he was online with someone else) and always thanked him for answering.
see?
i do appreciate his change
hahaha.
it’s a wonder what a bit of communication does to a relationship!
