He came back only to walk out again 15 minutes later.

I was mildly annoyed when he went out. He’d be back soon he promised. When exhaustion got the better of me and I opted to stay home instead of going to see the National Day fireworks, I didn’t expect him to come back and head out gallivanting with his friends.

I was livid!

He was bitchslapped left, right and centre via sms. I had retorts to counter his every excuse. He came back with his head hung in shame.

Yet another time.

He only decided to cancel his old line weeks after applying for a new number. He made a huge show of deleting certain people off his msn list while I was using the computer halfway.

I went to bed in anger. He woke up to see the babies (hippos and carebear) getting wrapped in a towel to be brought home.

Everything exploded.

A war of words and emotional blackmailing ended when he flung his mobile against the wall.

He gained victory when he used one of the hippos against me. He hid her knowing I’ll go ballistic if anything should happen to her.

Actually he is afraid to admit that he adores her and can’t bear to part with her.
