Save the best for last?

Save the BEST for last!

Have you ever wondered if you are the "save the best for last" type of person? Have you ever save your favorite type of food on your plate for last? Will you enjoy your favorite delicious, greasy, crunchy slice of bacon only after you finished the omelet, toasts, fries on your plate? Or you are the one who will eat your favorite food on the plate when it was freshly served to you?
When it comes to food, I think I like to enjoy the first bite on my favorite food and also finishing the meal with the last bite of the favorite food on the plate. But when it comes to relationship, I will not save the best for last. I will enjoy it at the very first moment till the end.

A guy that I know - Carl, likes to give his loves and passions to his love one until the very last moment of his day, week, month or year. He likes to smell the roses on the way home, he likes to sit down and experience life or share stories with people around him and last thing he would do is to come home to his favorite person.

Deep in his heart, he loves his wife a lot; but it is not the first thing he would express or do when he thinks of her. Because in his philosophy, he thinks he should save the best for last. He should go out and experience life, he should go mingle with people, help others, learn something; then when he is done with his "routine social networking life" he will certainly remember to come home to the comfort zone, he would like to cuddle and share all of his ups and downs of his day with the love one. Unfortunately, most of the time when he came home, it was already passed midnight or he was too tired and felt asleep on her arm while he was started to tell her how his day went.

Next morning, they repeat the same routine and he came home either exhausted or drunk. But he did some sweet things to his spouse, he kissed her good night, he hugged her and tell her she is the pretties woman in the world and said he was so lucky to have her in her life. Next thing you know, he happily felt asleep on her arm again.

Sadly, they don't really talk. She normally know about his stories from his friends and co-workers. This is because he save too much of the "BEST" for the "LAST".

Sometimes, I think a relationship is not about destiny; it is about the process. If he brought her in to the journey of smelling roses along the road, that would have done a different impact to their relationship.
