Two months...Is it what you expected?

Today is my two month anniversary. I still feel like I am on cloud nine. It is so different from when I was maried the first time around. The first time the relationship chaged immediately eventhough we lived together for 5 years prior. This time I still feel like DH is still my boyfriend and I absolutely love that.

I was just curious to know if the relationship has changed for anyone? Is married life what you expected it to be?

Married life has been exactly what I expected and more. I was with DH for 6 years before we got married and we never lived together and so it is so nice living with my best friend! I love having him around all the time and we have really enjoyed settling into our first Apartment we call home together.

It is exactly what I expected, which is good! We had lived together for two years before getting married, so it doesn't really feel different. I'm still getting used to saying 'husband' though, and I like it.

Same as PP for me. We have lived together for 2 1/2 years hwen we were married so it wasn't all that different. But I think it feels more "secure" and we argue less about the little things becuse I think now things are more "big picture" for us... plus its fun to talk about the future without feeling like you are scaring someone off. Now my DH is all about talking about kids names or paint colors for our future homes etc...i think when someone is just your boyfriend you are afraid to be so open about that kind of stuff because you don't want a guy to run in the other direction lol

It is actually better than I expected. We have been together for 8 1/2 years, and lived together for 3 years before getting married. Before the wedding, we had everything split down the middle. Bills, groceries, vehicles, etc. Everything was his and hers, and we would always disagree on who should pay for extra things like going out to eat, vacations, etc. The home we purchased was also purchased under his name, and we wanted to make sure that if either one of us choose to go our separate ways before marriage then I would be able to pack up anything I brought into the home. So it never felt like my "home." Now that everything is joined, it is SO much easier!  We now work as a team, and there's no more "his and hers" mentality. And it is so nice to FINALLY be able to call him my husband, after 8.5 years of a relationship.  I know this sounds bad, but we watched too many of our friends move in together to "give it a try" and it end badly.

hi!

i just found these boards! I was on the knot before!

DH and i were together for 8.5 years before getting married and lived together for 6 of them. Not much has changed around here. Just i wear two rings and he wears one lol. We also have a one and half year old, so that might factor into it.

It's wonderful. We moved just before our two month anniversary and it was stressful as ever but lovely to have our own first, real place together (we had roommates before that and then when we moved back home to NYC after we got engaged, we lived next door to his parents in a temp housing situation.) We bought our first carpet and bookshelf and TV and entertainment stand together and have put together our wedding and honeymoon albums. We attended our first big social function as husband and wife when my brother got married this month- it was so cool to so Mr and Mrs  HisLastName on our escort card! We joined our bank account and our cell phone accounts so everything feels more permanent somehow. Lovin' being married!
