And so the haze has cleared. Both literally and figuratively. What a relief!
It's always painful when there's tension between loved ones, and I'm glad the struggle is over. Through this episode, I have learnt that (i) giving in does not equate to having lost, that (ii) at the end of the day, mutual happiness far outweighs one-sided joy, and that (iii) in the sacred instituition of marriage, the fine art of give-and-take must be practised often and skilfully in order for the flame of love to continue burning brightly.
Emotionally, we now appreciate each other even more. Monetarily, we managed to save a significant bit for more practical use. Outcome-wise, with the due diligence put into research and a touch of good luck & timing, we managed to score a quality deal that offers just as much, if not more. It turned out to be a win-win situation afterall.
It's been tedious navigating through the haze, but we made it out and have become stronger because of it. When faced with future haze outbreaks, I'd be sure to remember the lessons learnt thus far.
