when the hubby & i were an item, i got plenty unsolicited advise about how i shouldn't marry a malay because they can kawin empat tau...and my reply to them would be 'and your point is?' needless to say, i didn't listen to them. just for the cheek of it, sometimes hubby mentions about how it would be if i had 'friends' to keep me company. once when the daughter was much younger he asked her if he can have a girlfriend. her answer - ask mama lah. guess the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
during our recent trip to langkawi, we were talking to a friend whose other half works in another state & tries to make it home on the weekends. see, the guy was confiding in my significant other that he feels lonely & wishes the mrs would just move there to be with him. but the mrs is a bit reluctant as she prefers living in kl (more distractions i suppose). so my dear hubby asked her if she didn't mind if her hubby found solace / comfort in another woman's arms. her reply? simple - can, i'll allow it if he really wants to but but but.... he has to fulfill certains terms & conditions. takkan bini muda pakai prada, aku tak. aku pun nak prada jugak. lepas tu, dia tak balik pun takpe. aku siap pinangkan untuk dia.
of course the t&c included in property (bungalow ah, tolong sikit), kereta (kancil ke, perdana ke tak main), money in the bank (at least pun seven digit) & a monthly allowance (this one lesser, five digit cukup). we laughed about it of course, but i know she is not joking.
yonks ago, i told my hubby the same thing - i have to be well provided for before i allow him to 'diversify' but i am a bit more practical lah - don't need bungalow lah (silap hari bulan he buy one in balakong how?); a super-condo in kiara ke, klcc vicinity ke okaylah; kereta also don't need big big one lah, mini cooper s pun i tak kisah; money in the bank & a monthly allowance for the daughter & me and of course the open clause of 'ad hoc requests will be added from time to time' (i learnt this in hr. you go and see your jd, got or not this clause. if don't have, your hr tak bagus). lepas tu, buat tiga sekali gus tak yah pening pening. i siap tolong pinangkan & sarungkan cincin lagi.
this morning while driving, i heard on the radio blu cantrell's 'hit 'em up' (go cari on youtube ke, google ke lah, don't ask me la). i was singing along & suddenly the conversation above came to mind. see, i have been thinking of cancelling a credit card that the hubby has which i hold a supplementary to. hmm, maybe i won't cancel it just yet. remember? ad hoc? time to time?
