I have been searching for ways to improve my attractiveness to girls in general, and specifically my own girlfriend ever since we fought until almost break up the last fight. Since then I know i have not been working on myself for some while, either physically or mentally. Due to heavy workload and part time studies, i lost interest in reading self-help books and doing exercises, which I think is bad for myself no matter in short term or long term. I recalled that i slowly giving up those good habits because i need to accompany my girlfriend, sound like an excuse though, but I really try to make time for our relationship, even with the expense of taking a toll on my self maintainance and improvement journey.
It's sweet to stick with her, and enjoy our time together. Watching the same drama, make our own dessert and sell to her customer, date with her at night in Kaki-Yuki dessert shop, having dinner together with her in Queensbay and converse deeply in the lower ground bench. It was wonderful, when we have the leisure time to date. We both felt otherwise when we are rushing in times. Maybe we are just not compatible in terms of career, job type, work shift, social class. I am a 9-5 work shift white collar, she is a daughter of a business owner who work night shift. Timing separate us to be together and make ourselves available for each other, social class separate our world views. We live in a different social circle. She was surrounded by FnB business social circle, while I am surrounded by IT proffesionals. Leave the distinctive current scenario aside, we do shared a common wish to stay together, and we both wanted to startup our own business. We both have the drive to improve better. We both wanted to withhold our relationship, to make it blossom and thrive despite the adversity of reality. Do our commonalities sufficient to bring us forward to another stage of love ? It will definitely not going to be as easy as other relationships. We are not even sure of whether we are meant for each other, we are not as happy around each other. She feel judge by me, because we are different. I feel like she is not that into me, giving me less confident to pursue more. Both of us are insecure whether we will work this out. This is different from LDR, or solely social class different, this is a mix of all issue. We are both stubborn, we will not let go easily, which for me shows good quality of loyalty and perseverance. We both need to be sure of the value of each other possess, we need to have confidence and trust on each other. If we fit into each other ideal type, pretty sure other obstacles will be resolved.
What quality i am searching for for my life partner?
I see my partner beyond looks or any physical appearance. Although good sense of style is a bonus point.
I am impressed with:
Inner beauty: Honestly, authenticity, respectful, driven in life, emphaty.
Intimacy: willingness to spend time together, get my jokes.
I wanted to be confidence to live by myself, and provide happiness to her.
1.) To know my own value, no insecurity.
2.) Work on my own tempered and emotional management
3.) To work on my hesitation or fumbleness when speaking
4.) Make massive decision by my own.
5.) Be active, stop being passive.

Insecurities and neediness
10月3号 阴天
最近跟芯瑜吵架到要分手的地步了,在9月30号中秋节的前一天我们和好了。分手的原因是她对我失去了爱的感觉,我也感觉到她在争吵之前慢慢远离我。
她对我失去了爱,也许是我答应了她的事情没有做到,比如说每晚的Video call, 7/8月答应的爬Gunung Berapi, 5月20号没有庆祝,等等。我已经理所当然的觉得她不需要被珍惜,不需要被爱。
而我大概是在master sem1过了没多久过后,大概7月尾回怡保3个星期帮忙处理希勤身后事的时候。芯瑜在video call对我说了句错愕的话,她说要跟我分手。
记忆犹新,7月尾是我的master IoT Thesis submission, Grease Guardian partnership需要follow up, 工作也不如上课之前表现好。在7月前一段时间我在芯瑜家住了一段很长的时间,都是由她来照顾我的饮食,而我也渐渐地失去了交往时的吸引力。没了运动,多了读书的时间,星期日接part time。
同一屋檐下的摩擦
我把最坏的脾气给了她,让心爱的女朋友照顾我的情绪,饮食起居。他并没有责任需要这么做,原因是因为她爱我。
那一段时间的相处细节也让我们的感情有摩擦。譬如说,她家的钥匙没有留在家,让我一个人呆在家,各自睡觉的时间不一样,我在北海没有朋友等等因素。造成彼此相处起来都会有压力。
我们双方都失去了彼此的自由去换来不开心的相处。如果我在北海有个家的话,也许不会发生这些不必要的摩擦。
承诺
我终于想起来,她第一次跟我吵分手是在我答应她爬山,但是没有去到的一天过后。5月20号因为1小时的线上考试我什么礼物都没有准备。反而是芯瑜买了两杯soft soya果汁奶昔回家庆祝。
每个星期日都在12点开会,导致我们那里都去不成。
工作时间的配合
我们俩在一起之前都知道彼此工作时间不一的挑战。当时候龙乡店里的大厨还在,所以她可以比较得空直到5/6点才开工,我就以为她会维持一样的时间上班。
大概是新年之前那段时间大厨就跑掉了,芯瑜他爸就扛下了主厨的位置。厨师帮手的位置就一直空缺着,不上进的员工也帮不上忙。所以芯瑜从那时候开始就step in帮忙。直到疫情的开始,工作时间才有了180度的变化,他们提早了工作时间。我们彼此都很享受这个时间的相处,虽然都是在她家里和龙乡做豆水/雪梅娘/算盘子度过,这段时间我们睡觉起床的时间都配合得很好。
疫情暂时情况好转开放后,记得我要回槟岛归还Xilin Board给大学。我因为坚持回去槟岛所以发生了一些口角,而我也没有及时安抚她的情绪,坚持分开独立相处会比较好。
直到现在1530-2330的晚饭时间和我0900-1730的工作时间,重叠时间真的不多。客观算下来只有各自休息日才有相处的机会,也不多时间让各自缓冲平日工作的压力。
星期4,和两天的周末是我们平时最期待的两天,因为我们终于有机会出门吃喝玩乐,和对方一起体验新事物。
生活管理
因为周末要过去陪芯瑜的缘故,我会经常的放下学习工作不做或者抛下家务就跑开。这方面的管理不当会让我对她释出工作压力。而她却每一次都体谅我的处境。
唯一芯瑜有工作压力的时候只有周末下午3点前要回店帮忙,Otherwise她不会理我。
独处时间
我们生活作息虽然不一样,但是每个人都或多或少会有需要独处的时间。平时芯瑜已经很少出门联络朋友了,都是和家人相处嘴炮。所以会通过网络和世界接轨。她在白天的时间也会尽可能的出门接触世界。
而我WFH也是长期呆在家,生活没有新元素导致生活没了热情。人也少了开心的气息。这次吵架过后一定要掌握好没相处时的充实,和做好相处时的准备。
挽回感情后的打算
不管在时间作息还是个人生活和情绪管理都得下功夫才不会重蹈复测。
(a)相处时间
相处时间上给彼此各自的空间,沟通好几时需要Video call,信息的频密度。才不会导致像之前一样的信息轰炸压迫感。给双方都感觉良好不压力。现阶段少信息好过多信息。质量一定要高。
(b)生活作息
在作息上,理想状态时各自都有自己舒服的休息时间。我下午5点30下班,11点30上床睡觉。她则是11点30下班,4点30睡觉。11点半下班很多时候都还没有吃东西,感到回家跟我Video call只会让她更压力坚持不下去。我能不能在下班后睡一段时间,去弥补晚上时常不够睡眠的反效果呢。。而且情况还会持续到明年12月直到我搬出DPiazza为止。现在打算在北海租一个小房间也财政上回增加一些压力,买房子又太过冲动。想象我们住在一起,不安全感会少很多。原因在于可以看到对方的存在,即便是时间上有出入看到彼此也会在心里安定下来。相比现在跟同事住在一起,没有个人空间,互相猜忌,虽然有人可以聊天但是我还是宁愿一个人安静沉淀。
(c)约会打算
露营,喝酒,爬山,按摩,逛街,吃Cafe。每个月周末一次去玩。一周年去玩一次几天的。
(d)情绪管理
每每自己感觉要情绪失控的时候,呼吸一口气,想想自己说出来的话会不会后悔。气上头说的话都不能听的,别人怎么说是别人的自由。Recognize我们现在就是远距离加上时间上的挑战这个问题对我们解决问题有了新的认知。接下来就可以全心全力去面对。每次不顺心脾气上头的时候说出来的话语都会让自己过后后悔,要是我提前知道后悔的结果,我就不会意气用事去吵架。我需要真正明白自己想要维系要捍卫的是什么。比如跟芯瑜吵架时想要跟对方沟通为什么对我不理不睬
