how it could be

I really feel for my sister-in-law Lucia.
She seems more and more unhappy here, and cracks in her marriage are starting to show.
Looking at Nic, her husband, my brother-in-law....
I really feel her pain.
I've seen Nic with his ex-girlfren, and he was mega-different.
That girl was gorgeous, a model, an exact real-life replica of a pretty doll, very demanding and petty.
Perhaps like a lot of Singaporean girls.
But Nic was totally under her spell.
For the entire 1.5 years they were together, they seemed inseparable.
I thot they'd never break up even tho their relationship was stormy.
It was those fiery, passionate relationships that wasn't meant to last long.
But perhaps both were too young then. That girl was only 21.

Lucia is the complete opposite of her.
She's buxomy and simply quite angelic.
The best a wife can be -- she cleans the whole house, does everything for him.
Has no other friends or family here. I'm probably her best friend in Singapore.
And within half a year of their marriage, he doesn't seem so enthralled anymore.

Men are strange creatures.
Treat them nice, and they take you for granted.
Lead them on a leash, be the bitch, and they come barking.
I simply don't comprehend.
Do nice girls always have to finish last?
