Faded Boxers

So I just got back from this marriage Marriage Encounter thing with Rach. At first we only agreed to go because my parents, who were sponsoring the event, asked us to go as a favor to them. But it turns out to be a very wise decision because the trip allowed us to relive our Discovery Weekend experience which continues to be a source of inspiration and strength for us as a couple.

It’s also during this event that I was able to reaffirm that Rach is indeed the only woman for me. Well until Cristine Reyes finally tracks me down and asks me to make sweet, passionate love to her face.

Maybe it was due to the atmosphere of sharing, openness, and honesty of our encounter, that I decided to check where Rach stands on the whole Cristine Reyes thing.

“Rach, you’re the only person in the world for me. You and Cristine Reyes,” I opened smoothly.

“Cristine Reyes?” she asked unaffected.

“Well yeah. You have to understand that should Cristine Reyes beg for me to sleep with her, I don’t think I’m in a position to refuse.”

“Cristine Reyes will never sleep with you Pau” she said matter of factly.

“Well that’s because she knows I’m married.” I decided that it may not be a smart move to add “Duh” to that statement. But it should have been said just the same.

“Cristine Reyes doesn’t even know you. In fact sometimes I wish I didn’t know you.”

“That’s retarded. You’re retarded!” I said. Hurt. The nerve of her to be so callous about my feelings. And during our Marriage Encounter no less!

She put her hands on the sides of my face and pulled me closer to her. “Read. My. Lips. You are not sleeping with Cristine Reyes.” Her tone left no room for much discussion after that.

So there you have it. My wife has spoken. I can not sleep with Cristine Reyes. How I’m going to break the news to Cristine, I’ll never know.

So in case Cristine, or anybody who knows Cristine is reading this blog. Please relay the information to her as quick as you can to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding later on. And tell her gently.

On a more serious note, those who are in long term relationships should seriously consider attending either Discovery Weekend or the Marriage Encounter seminars. I’ve seen miracles happen in these weekend retreats that I didn’t think possible before.

For any interested parties, feel free to drop me a comment and I’ll get in touch with you as soon as I can. Also, Cristine Reyes.
