engaged at 25 💗💍✨

The so-called 7-year curse has always been a scary topic for many couples, and I’ve definitely felt the pressure over the years. What helped us was staying open with each other and adjusting to life’s changes together—whether it was moving from school to polytechnic, or dealing with long-distance when he was shipped to Australia during NS. One thing I learned is how important communication is, especially when you’re young and figuring things out. We had our fair share of disagreements, but we always tried to understand each other’s perspective. I also realized that love isn’t about perfection but about accepting the ups and downs. Another fun aspect from our story is how we both attended polytechnic—a place often joked to be a breeding ground for "monster couples" who survive whatever challenges come their way. It felt reassuring to share similar experiences during school years, which built a deeper friendship that grew into love. If you’re wondering how to beat the 7-year curse, my advice is to focus on growing both individually and as a couple. Celebrate your milestones no matter how small and be patient through tough times. Every relationship is unique, but resilience and genuine care are always key. I’m super excited for what’s next and can’t wait to be a wifey. If you’re in a long-term relationship, don’t lose hope—it’s worth fighting for the love that grows through the years!
