So how is everyone...

minionlover · November 2012

adjusting to married life?

It hasn't been bad for me. We already lived together for 2 years so there is no getting used to living together. The only adjustment for me is the sparkly new ring on my finger and a cool new last name.

How about you guys?

lehc723 · November 2012

Yeah, we'd lived together for five years, so it's all about the same. We've had a rough month otherwise, but not from being married, ha, just like weather (Sandy, snow, etc.) and a WHOLE lot of problems with work.

achiduck · November 2012

It's not really that much differen then before being married since we've lived together for over a year. We've just had a few bumps to do H having car troubles and his work schedule changing a bit but nothing too crazy.

aro1589 · November 2012

we lived together over two years too. the only thing different is when I refer to him as "husband". We were engaged over 4 years so it's habit to call him 'fiance'. it's so nice to finally call him husband!

Not much has changed for us - we lived together for a year and a half. Things that have changed are our dishes (way better than the mismatched junk we had from college) and I have a lot of fun new kitchen toys. I'm still getting used to have 2 rings instead of one, especially since they both spin, but in opposite directions it seems.

mmmendi · November 2012

Erica, I smiled at your opposite direction rings. Me too! I can't wait to have mine soldered.

Same for us in living together, but we are really feeling the impact now of H not working. He is filling out all kinds of apps, and I never realized he had not looked in to any of his VA benefits. I have him chasing that information down while he has the time. We feel under the gun, as his ex is pushing us to take his daughter in NOW - but she is twelve. We have to move somewhere where she will have a bedroom. That will be a big adjustment.

My new daughter is joining me this evening to go see Mary Poppins. I am so excited! My mother surprised me with tickets, and both my sisters and their daughters are going as well. My son (12) is babysitting his cousin (3) while we are gone, until my brother-in-law is home from work. My husband will be there, as support, but this is my son's first adventure in babysitting!

achiduck · November 2012

It's funny, before the wedding I never understood why people had them soldered together, it just seemed lazy to me (I mean, is it really so hard to put on 2 in stead of 1) but now that I'm wearing the two I totally get it and am probably going to have mine soldered too. I am definitely eating my words.

Does any one know if they can be unsoldered though? My ring is vintage and I would love for it to become a family ring eventually in which case whoever gets them would probably want to have them unsoldered for proposing and such.

mmmendi · November 2012

achi from what I have read, you really cannot successfully separate them with integrity. I have seen other methods to secure them, you might talk to your jeweler about your best option!

tamrahelmer · November 2012

Not really much different other than the ring and name for me too! We had a little hard month because his company is restructuring and we don't know what location he is going to end up at. But that has just made us stronger through the stress.

huskerfan246 · November 2012

I've been MIA on here for a while, happy to chat with all you ladies again! Things are going great, we've lived together a year so not much adjusting at home, just settling all of our cool new wedding gifts, name changing everything, been really busy at work, more hours, attending college sports events (we are both sports nuts).
Its kind of funny, my H seems to be really fascinated with his ring, its a yellow gold band and has a beveled edge look to it so it tends to catch peoples eye quite often from reflections, I think he does it on purpose sometimes too.

I hope all is well with everyone!!!

[Deleted User] · November 2012

Nothing has really changed, we can't totally live together until he sells his house and because of my 2nd marriage in Maui I haven't gotten my marriage license so I can't change my name yet!

samanthaeisner · November 2012

It doesn't feel different, but it is. We only have lived together since July, but there is something different since the wedding. Everywhere we go, people make a big deal about us being newly weds and it's really cute.

I'm a teacher, so at work the kids are calling me by my new name, but not the secretary. I'm not changing my name until after our honeymoon next week so my driver's license and passport match when we leave the country. Changing my name is first on my agenda when we get back and I can't wait!

Mendi, if you're seeing Mary Poppins the musical, it's amazing. I took my mom and grandma a few years back when it first opened on Broadway. It was my favorite movie growing up and the musical fulfilled all of my expectations, plus some. Enjoy!

DanaOcNy · November 2012

Married life feels not much different then engaged life to me LOL. I am sure once we close on our house and get in there it will feel different, since we currently live with my in-laws (no place for newlyweds!),

xxjen015 · November 2012

It really isn't that different for us, we've lived together for quite some time. I've changed my name and it's strange to refer to him as husband still...and hear my new last name! Things have been crazy at work for both of us, we've had to work through unexpected bills with my car, etc., but we're now looking forward to a job interview for me, and waiting to hear about one for H!

BrittneyRN · November 2012

H and I chose not to live together before marriage, so it's a lot different for us. I love living with him and being married! I still need to change my last name though.

kd1986 · November 2012

We've lived together for 2 years already, and while things are not different, I'm finding myself to be MUCH less stressed, and unusually happy! Maybe it's some crazy newlywed buzz I have or something, but life is GREAT! Amen to the rings too, I like them separate but they twist like crazy!

schnugglebug · November 2012

We lived together for abotu a year before this, but I full moved in a week after the wedding... and let my apt go... I was mainly keeping my apt for my mom's sense of security ... incase it didn't work out... I am 2 1/2 hours away from where I grew up, where my family is, and although it is not THAT far away... mothers will be mothers and worry... her fears have been calmed now...

Married life is not much different excpet we get to call each other husband and wife... which we like

and enjoy... now onto our next milestone, getting ready for baby !!!
DH is so cute and excited... and reading everything he can get his hands on, wanting to start getting things... RELAX hunnybuns, we still have 7 3/4 months to go LOL

shasha5847 · November 2012

Really not all that different for us either. We've lived together for about 4 years. We are just back in the swing of things. I do keep on forgetting to introduce myself with my new last name, but I'm sure that'll come w/time. :-) Have a great weekend everybody.

catwine · November 2012

we didn't live together before marriage and were both virgins so alot has changed for us!!

i love it though! we are almost done our 2 week honeymoon and the time has gone so fast.

goatlady12 · November 2012

Not much has changed, we've lived together for 2 years. I am a lot happier, because I don't feel the wedding crunch anymore. I'm having a really hard time adjusting to my new signature though. It's really awkward, signing my name differently.

aro1589 · November 2012

Kudos to you, Christinavy. that's something to be very proud of!
