How's married life treating you?

After you were married, did you guys get this question a lot?  I get it all the time and it just seems kinda odd.  Typically I'll only respond with "great, thanks for asking".  How do you answer when you get asked? 

Re: How's married life treating you?

  • I get asked constantly. It's so flipping annoying. For the past couple of months my response has been "it's pure bliss" with a big cheesy grin.
  • Most of the time I get "So how's married life?" and I just respond "same as non-married life".

    I'll take that question any day over "So when are you going to have kids?".

  • I get it too and we have only been married 2 weeks!!  That and how does it feel to be married?  Really a simple congratulations would suffice.

    This! lol

    I get asked this quite a bit. There a some vendors at work that I only meet with once or twice a year, so I get asked this anytime I see them now. I don't really mind, I just say "It's great, thanks!" I'll take that over the babies question every time.

    DH comes up with creative/ embarassing answers like well the BJ's have stopped or I've really become inclined to cough syurp. I cringe, a lot. I actually caught myself asking a young newlywed couple we know this question last weekend. they seemed just as annoyed as I get,but at least I can bug someone else.

    This exactly!

  • True, I would so rather that question than the babies.  Most people didn't even wait for me to get married for that one.

    Me too, I hate getting asked when we're having kids!

  • I get that alot as well.  Last time someone asked me I said it sucked and we were headed for a divorce.  Then smiled and walked away.  It was pretty funny.

     :)

  • I get this question a lot...still.  My answer is always "no different than usual"  I love getting the strange looks after that...especially from those who don't know that even though DH and I have only been married a little over 1.5 years, we've been together for 15.
  • Hee hee, this question doesn't bother me at all.  I just say "absolutely amazing" and go off with my cheesey grin.  But I love bragging about DH... they probably regret asking after a few mins :)

    That's what I say.
  • I think I needed the sarcasm symbol for my post.  When I say "pure bliss" it is not said seriously.  I hate the question.  We've been together for 8 years. It's the same!
  • Lol I wish people would ask me that! I think everyone knows that me and my DH are living 2 hours apart due to our jobs and because my house hasn't sold yet so....they just don't ask because they don't want to hurt my feelings. We've only been married a month, but since we hardly see each other, we never get questioned! Sad But I have gotten the baby question quite a bit lately! I guess they think we need to get busy. hahahaha.
  • UGH! I HATE this question, it's like the ONLY question people ask.  I always respond with "about the same as before" or if I feel like being a smart a$$ I'll say something like "Well being married didn't magically get him to start doing the dishes, so what was the point?"

    Yup, still get this question all the time & I answer exactly the same way!
