So..........

Re: So..........

  • lol.  still the same as living-together life (especially since I kept my name).  Only difference is that he occasionally calls me "wife" now. 
  • Ditto to what drunken wife said - I kept my name too and when he calls me "wife" we both look at each other and giggle.

  • Great, except it gets more annoying the more i hear that question.... anyone else get that?
  • lol yeah ruth.  Indeed.  Like suddenly a magic wand was waved and a whole different life appeared. 

    "Married life is so GREAT!  We got married and that made us win the lottery and now we're moving to Italy and we have a pony and I like eggs and everything is made of red!"

  • i've recently started turning it back on people.... mostly people who ask have been married for years and years so i'd say "well u'd know better, u tell me" and if it is sucky, do they really want to hear about it? weirdos
  • we hate that question..here are our standard answers

    him "it's pretty much the same, except she doesn't go home at night"

    me "so far, so good - i haven't killed him yet!"

    ughhhh. i guess i understand it though, no one else really knows what to talk about and figures it's a good ice breaker. but, it's not like i'm gonna go into detail or talk about the negative things

  • Yup, EVERYONE says "hows married life?".....its the same, so I just had to post the annoying question for fun.
  • I think my new standard answer for it is "he likes it... I let him get me up the arse now.  I'm not a fan, but hey, we're married.  what can you do"

    I'd love to see the reaction that would get.

  • Drunken, I bet they would never ask you again
  • Well...nobody can top drunken's response! 

    It is super irritating and I normally make some smart arse remark about sunshine and butterflies and how everything tastes like ice cream.  But then I think I don't want to be one of those wives....ya know, the ones who never have anything nice to say about their hubby and act like they'd rather have a poke in the eye than be married another moment.  So I'm going to TRY to be a bit more sincere about it.  And I'm really sick of the non-funny remarks about how being married is stupid and makes you a moron and how much better it was before....long story. 

    Honestly, I dig being hitched!
  • I tell them nothing is different. We've been living together for almost 6 years so the only think that is different is my name. Oh yeah, and he can knock me up now!

  • Ha! Some of these responses would be amazing to just hear someone say.

    We just tell people that we're happy but not too much has changed. My name... our insurance. Thats about it since we lived together before though. Good enough, since it is usually just an icebreaker.


  • ooooooorrrrrr....
    so when are you guys gonna have kids?!!

    I love my hubby!  Being married is great, but nothing's "changed"...
    Take a chance. Take a risk. Take the initiative. Make your wishes a reality and make your dreams come true!

  • My standard response to that question is:
    "It's the same as it was before, just with more jewellery."

  • I should be more creative with my responses. ;-)

    Usually I just say, "It's great!". At that point they usually look at me as if I'm going to elaborate. Hmm. Maybe drunken's "up the arse" comment would be a nice follow-up comment. hehehehehe

  • Hate that question, as much or more than I hated "so.... hows the wedding planning going?"

    I probably hate it more, cause like you've all stated, its pretty much the same, except we lived together and my money goes into the same bank account as his.

    I should probably say, "its fine, and to answer your next thought, no, Im not pregnant and don't plan on it for awhile!"
