Womanese

Recently I learn that while ALL of us, men, speak English, women speak womanese. hahaha. Yup, they speak womanese. I've been married for 7 months and dated the same woman for 5 years prior to that and I'm just starting to learn this new, bizarre language called womanese.

I think I'm just starting to scratch the surface. Maybe.

Womanese is 'deceiving'. It sounds just like English but its undercurrent, its meaning is completely different. For example when my wife ask me if I love her. I answer: I love you.

3 simple words can mean a whole lot things.

She then ask again, do you love me? I say yes I do love you, very much.

How much?

Obviously, my english teacher didn't teach me well. I don't know the words "I love you" can be used to express the dept of love. I love you is I love you la...

Also, most guys probably don't know this. I love you also has a time factor in it.

In Womanese, I love you, last about 5 secs. That's why sometimes my wife can ask me: Do you love me? ...I love you... Do you love me?.... I love you.... Do you REALLY love me?.......

I think most of my dad's generation seldom tell their woman that they love them. Of course, they said that during the Wedding. "Oooi woman, I tell you already what.. how many time you want me to repeat..... I love you la"

It's not enough to tell them that you love them once a week... coz that was LAST week. Not once a day, coz that was YESTERDAY! you need to tell them constantly. It last for 5 secs. The 'weirdest' part is that this is not because they have short term memory. They don't.. never forget the last time you said "I love you".

Dear... do you love me? You haven't said that you love me for a long time......
huh? long time?..
yeah.... since this morning....

5 seconds, after which the power of "I love you" simply fizzles. no more. void. You have start again.

But I think I'm learning. It's like watering the most beautiful flower the more you say "I love you" the more pretty the flower becomes.

Honey I love you!!!!
