Annoyed

hrchic · October 2009

I am so tired of people saying "So, how is married life?" Am I supposed to have some unique answer? For me, married life isn't any different than when we were dating or engaged. I guess after 4 months, I'm just tired of this question.

Vent over!

Yea I can relate...its been 4 months for us too and we get that question. Like getting married is a physical change or something. I'm also getting tired of hearing 'so when are you having kids' or 'are you pregnant yet'...ugh!

hrchic · October 2009

Yeah, that too. I haven't been feeling well, so naturally everyone thinks I'm pregnant! Um, no I'm not.

I hear ya! It's only been a little over a month for us, and I'm already tired of that question. DH's parents are coming to visit this weekend, and I know his father is going to ask me...yes, just me....when we're having a baby. He asked me a few times at the wedding! I understand that he's 70 and would like grandchildren, but come on!

Well I am glad Im not the only one. We've been married 4 months today! I get asked a lot at work.. and of course everything is wonderful, but I get so tired of hearing about it too. Only thing different is we didnt live together until the night of the wedding, which was well worth the wait.

DH has been asked the baby question at work a few times, and I have too.. but we dont plan on it for at least 3-4 years yet.. so Im sure that question is going to get old too... We were asked forever when we were getting engaged, then when I was getting my ring, when we were getting married, and now that we are, Im sure the baby question will get annoying after a while too.. so Im right there with ya! VERY annoying! I guess we can all say we've been practicing! LOL Wink

right there with you! and it's been over 6 months for us. i think it replaces small talk about the weather - lol!

After we'd been married four months, I started answering that question with "I'm bored of it, but we can't divorce until we've sent out the thank you notes." Unsurprisingly, people stopped asking fairly quickly, and I started getting to have real conversations again

Def with everyone on this one....DH's stepfather brings up grandchildren every time we see them (which is weekly since we go to the same church). I esp loved when people (by people I mean my hs students) asked me how long it's been and then told me I was an old married lady.....

I hear ya!! It's been just over 4 months for us. A few weeks ago, we went to a friend's wedding, and I (jokingly, of course!) said to DH before we got out of the car "I swear, the first person to ask 'So, how's married life' is getting a sock!" Of course, at LEAST 10 people asked!

I haven't thought of a creative/sassy response yet...

My mom finally asked me for the first time since our wedding (8/4/07) when we were having kids. She told me she didn't want to be an "old grandma" lmao! I broke down and told her we were trying and she said "That's it, I won't ask again." I love my mom - she's so good at not being annoying! I think that bit of news sent her over the moon anyway

Now, DH's family, on the other hand - oi. I'm sick to death of it. I avoid going up to his parents' because I don't want to get asked by the multitude of aunts and uncles.

I don't know if I should be upset that I'm not getting asked those questions. Honestly, nobody asks anything of the sort. Sorry all of you are so frustrated.

Me&Mr.T · October 2009

It'll get better. Once you are married a year people will stop asking because you didn't just recently get married.

MillersXing · October 2009

When people said that to me I'd tell them, "I'm glad I bought the extended warranty."

And after two years I don't get asked it that much. Now it's usually the go question for people I haven't seen in a long time, and we don't have much to say. Like random sightings of old friend's parents, and wayward relatives I don't see very often.
