old married couple?

Does anyone else feel like the wedding was sooo long ago already? I look at the pictures and think, wow, that was such a long time ago! It hasn't even been 3 months yet! haha i guess the newness of marriage fades fast.  Anyone else feeling this way?

Re: old married couple?

  • I felt like DH and I were married long before the actual wedding. We moved in together after 7 months of dating, got engaged after a 1yr & 3 months together and bought a home last summer.

    When we bought our home last August, we combined all of our income and we've shared joint accounts since that point. So I feel like we've already been living like a married couple for a year already even though the wedding itself was only in May!  And now we've adopted a dog and are TTC so it feels like we're just continuing to build our family and lives together.

    I love it. I wonder how we'll be when we're 70.

  • We started living together after dating for 9 months, so for almost two years now. We combined our money into a joint account a few months before the wedding also. It doesn't feel that much different to be married to him though (aside from knowing he is stuck with me forever! Wink )

  • We didn't live together before, but to me it does feel like its been longer than 3 months. I can't wait to get home in the evenings to see HH though, I hate being away from him during the day.

  • I agree with Katy. Even though we didn't live together or have combined finances before the wedding, it still feels like it's been more than three months-- most of the time! Every once in a while I still get a moment of "whoa" (not to be confused with "woe")!

    I'm so jealous. My husband travels for work and is gone Mon - Thur and it's tough to be apart. For the first 2 years of our relationship it was great b/c he was on a client that was located the next town over so even though he worked long hours, he was still able to be home every night. Now he's on a client on the other side of the country and he's back to travelling. (He's a consultant).

  • We lived together after 9 months, it's been 3 years since we moved in together for the first time (almost exactly 3 years!  We moved on Aug 7th!).  We got a joint account about a year ago, after we decided to build our house.  Sometimes I feel like an old married couple, but I still love him just as much as the day we got married.

    I would hate if my HH had to travel. He's refuses to work night shift at his work now because he doesn't want to leave me by myself at night. I'm sure that he'll have to work a night occasionally in the future though.

  • Still seems like last week to me! We still talk about it a lot and how awesome of a day it was LOVED that day!  
  • LOL!  That's what we are going to be for Halloween!!!  I didn't think it would feel any different being married since we had lived together for 2 years but somehow it is different!

  • I feel like the wedding was forever ago, and we lived together before the wedding so we "acted married" for a while there....BUT I still feel like a newlywed and it's so fun! Last night, DH and I stayed up really late watching tv and then we cuddled together and kept saying "Okay we really need to go to sleep" but we kept thinking of things we wanted to talk about.  He's a volunteer fire fighter, so then he got a page about a house fire.  He left and came back at 3:30am and told me all about it and then crawled in with me. I felt like we were a couple of crazy kids having a secret co-ed sleepover....and then I remembered that it was my real life!

  • DH and I were just talking about this on Saturday. I feel like the wedding was FOREVER ago and Sunday will be only 3 months!

    We look back at pictures from the wedding and from Greece and we agree that it just feels like it was so long ago.

    I want to go back to the honeymoon though. It just WASN'T long enough. It was so nice to have only one responsibility for the week and that was to enjoy ourselves. I miss it.

    As far as feeling like an old married couple though... we've been working on that for a long time, too.  DH moved in with me after only 4 months of dating and we've been together for 4 1/2 years.  I agree with PPs that marriage doesn't feel that different for us. Which is nice.

    But I DO LOVE calling him "husband".  There's just something awesome about it!

  • our relationship doesn't feel any different, but it's just so funny to me that after 3 months, the wedding seems like it was so long ago!
