We need to talk...


Since my move, I have been guilty of not having reading news from Malaysia, lo and behold, as I skimmed the headlines, I found this.

Whoa!! He called the wedding off via text message? And he is a footballer? Well, he’s a footballer alright; his balls are located at his foot!

I suppose it is none of my business to judge other people, and to second guess what really happened but hey, tough! The story was in the news so.. tra-la-la….

Marriage (or serious relationships for that matter) is not something to be taken lightly and honey, it ain’t easy. Having said that, break-ups are tough too. (remember those times when you feel dejected, miserable, near suicidal?).

But, if you feel that it is not right and it is not going to work, then you have to TELL the other person. Remember the movie Jerry Maguire? "If you don't LOVE her, then, you've gotta TELL her!". In the end he realised that he did actually love her...and guess what? he caught the next flight to TELL her!

Whatever it is, you do NOT text message your fiancée 19 hours before the big do!

You see, if the footballer (hah!) had the balls to talk to his fiancée personally, He probably wouldn’t have to drag his ass to the court. His defense was that he didn’t have it in his heart to tell her that it’s not meant to be, my thoughts (as I’m sure the fiancée) are; jilting her like that then, is something that comes from the heart?

We women are the sensitive sort, this guy obviously has never watched a chick-flick, hasn’t he heard of this little thing called closure? When we don’t get them we can go crazy, out of our mind and worse case scenario - MENtal.

I don’t mean to come out all male-bashing, especially after yesterday’s post. For all I care; the fiancée was not capable to get it through her head that he doesn’t want to get hitched (maybe he did try, albeit unsuccessfully to tell her). All I’m trying to say is, nothing good ever comes out from sending life altering pronouncements via text messages.

So guys and gals beware! If someone from Felda Dengar can appoint a lawyer named K.S Dass to instigate legal action, anyone can!

For goodness sake, start talking (and listening) to each other!
