Blue valentine

Currently watching this movie "Blue Valentine"

The movie is about a married couple and their kid in a so-so house. Their marriage is slowly crumbling as reality hits - work stress, house work, being a mom, taking care of 1 child, etc .The husband is somehow making an effort to save the marriage , but the wife seems to be emotionally distant. She seems to be getting more and more annoyed with her husband's "childish ways" like teaching the kid to eat from the table cos the kid refused to eat her breakfast (which I found so cute! ) and his childish tantrums.  This triggers a series of memories (on the wife's part) , of how they fell in love, meeting in college etc. In a way, she's trying to find love again.

What I find scary about the movie is  its actually true in real life.

Sure, dating is all so fun. No worries, no mortgage, no taxes, no bill, no kids ! And when you get married, everything changes . From "Hello sexy" to "Hello, can you please throw the rubbish". From " You're such a sexy minx" to " You're such a bum" . lol.

Marriages take work , I know. And that's why , I'm constantly reminding myself not to take things for granted :)
