Caution: You can relate to this blog and agree with me only if you still share at least a cordial relation with your spouse.
Yes it is true and not a myth. A forced bachelor cherishes his freedom more than a true bachelor even though it has an expiry date. It is also ironical that no FB wants to extend his freedom beyond a time. Coming to the point of cherishing the freedom a FB is like a kid who is asked to look after his parents candy store while they are away. Though the kid wants the candy badly, he wants the pride more- pride in proving to his parents that he has lived up to their expectations.
This is the time wherein the FB gets to understand that it was not his wife that stopped him from doing all the things he did not do even though he wanted to. It was his conscience that was stopping him from doing the things his wife disliked. This is also the time when he gets the full burden of house making and bread earning both. Again the expectations are set to reach both by corresponding managers.
Lots of to-dos, not-to-dos, and how-to-dos fill this time totally. And we still haven’t talked about the emotional pressure of missing your spouse. That literally kills if you still fall under the categorization mentioned in my caution. Either you start feeling like a patient of attention seeking syndrome or your spouse does.
The former case is easier to handle as it results in only few arguments. But the latter is more dangerous as it will have a various degrees of questionnaire, tons of how-could-you-forget-me and innumerable you-only-remember-me-when-I’m-with-u. Let me put it straight I don’t have a solution for this. I am just another FB dealing with all these syndromes, consciences and a big candy store where I am trying not to eat even a single candy.
