Okay. First of all, lemme just say how it’s starting to feel weird to get questions about relationships especially when y’all just keep going under anonymous. Either because you have no tumblr or because you’re afraid I’mma hunt you down or something — which I’m not gonna. I might seem crazy every now and then, but I ain’t gonna creep people out. XD
Anyways …
I do appreciate the questions.
It’s just better if I - at least - know your names.
:)
Sejujurnya, aku ga tau. HAHA. *ditampar*
Um … gimana ya … kalo aku sih kemaren ga lama ngeyakinin keluarga. Awalnya si mama emang mendadak punya tagline sendiri, “KENAPA BULE SIH?! KENAPA GAK ORANG BATAK AJA?!”
She kept saying that almost every hour for - I think - a week. Even after Pete came to see me for the first time in April, dia masih nanya apa kita ga bisa putus aja so that she can hook me up with some Batak guy just like what she’s been doing for years since I was twenty years old.
True story.
But it all stopped when she realized that I actually want this to work (which was after 3 weeks). That he was actually making the efforts to show that he wants the same thing.
Now, the question is, do YOU? Want your relationship to work, that is. Iya tau, udah pacaran 3 taun, but … I’ve seen people being together for over 7 years only to say goodbye. Sad, but true. Karena, kalian harus ngebuktiin ke banyak orang kalo kalian emang pengen bersama. *aeeeh 8D *
It might take a lot of work. Gak cuma dari kamu, tapi juga dari pasangan kamu. Jangan sampe’ cuma kamu aja yang berusaha mempertahankan hubungan dan ngeyakinin keluarga, sementara dia … angin-anginan.
Aku sih selalu percaya orangtua tuh sebenernya cuma mau yang terbaik buat anak-anaknya. Saking pengen yang terbaiknya, kadang mereka gak ngasih kesempatan anak-anaknya untuk ngelakuin kesalahan biar bisa belajar dari situ. Dan karena mereka ga mau anak-anaknya salah pilih, they tend to make them to choose something based on what they (the parents) know.
*mendadak merasa seperti orangtua*
*kemudian ngunyah sirih*
XD
Last but not least, try to find an understanding and more open-minded family member that you can talk to. My aunts helped a lot when I needed my mom to understand about why I wanna be with Pete. And thankfully, mereka-mereka itu memang salah tiga dari sedikit orang di dunia ini yang pendapatnya selalu didenger ama si mama. They comforted her and told her that it’s not fair for me to sacrifice my happiness just because she doesn’t want me to be with someone who doesn’t come from a Batak family.
*kemudian terharu*
X’D
So, yeah … that’s all I guess.
Good luck!
:)
If both contributes the same effort to make it work. As simple as that. The minute you feel that you’re the only one working for it, that’s when you should stop and think about the whole thing. If you still want to keep going or not. That’s attitude and habit wise. But when you’re in a relationship with someone who abuses you physically or mentally, I’ll tell you right away that it’s not worth it. Not. Even. A. Little. Bit. YOU HEAR ME? Okay.
Just in case.
Point is, every relationship - every single one in your life - works both ways. No matter what it is. If it starts to change to a one way street, stop. Either you’re being taken for granted or … you’re being taken for granted.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Cukup baca-baca aja deh cerita orang-orang.
