Poll- Do you Consider Yourself a Newlywed?
[poll]
Re: Poll- Do you Consider Yourself a Newlywed?
I think it was around 1 1/2 year mark I gave up the newlywed idea. Although we acted like an old married couple long before we ever got married!
Our three year anniversary is coming up in February, but I still consider us newlyweds.
I'm honestly not *too* sure why I feel this way. We have wedding photos all over the house, I actually have a "wedding wall" with my bouquet (preserved and framed) and my 1st anny gift from DH (a frame w/ wedding photos, our wedding invitation and a plaque with our names and wedding date, etc.).
I always think of people being "old marrieds" when they've been married for more than 10 years. Those are probably ridiculous standards, but I think it may be because both of my parents are on their 3rd marriage right now... so I have weird/warped standards when it comes to marriage.
I don't feel like we're in either group...
I think we're looked at like "what a nice young couple" but not newlywed.
At least your coworker is saying you are a baby and not asking when you're going to have a baby like mine do. I got asked twice last week! Once was somewhat my fault b/c I mentioned that I try to keep my sick leave at a minimum so I can use it for maternity leave someday, but the other was completely out of the blue.
We totally act like teenagers around each other, too! Because of that, people see us as newlyweds a lot (that, and we're 23 & 25), but we've been married 3.5 years. I generally cut the "newlywed" stage off at 1yr.
I wish there was a both button. We still act like newleyweds - unlike people I know that have been married for a little while. And I hope we ALWAYS act the way we do today. Giving each other kisses, picking on one another, always laughing. I think that keeps the newlywed feel.
Even after we are married for 20 years I will still always feel like a newlywed.
This. We're going on 6 years of marriage, 9 years of being together (and living together for almost all of it since we moved in together after only 3 months) and we have 2 kids. So, we're definitely not newlyweds but we don't act like an old married couple, either.
