Is it just me girls because me and my hubby have to live so far apart, or is the newlywed year tough? We have such a hard time being apart and it makes everything else so hard. It's not that I'm not happy, heck I waited to marry this man for 7 years, but gosh it's tough. Any one else???
Re: The newlywed year?
Ours flew by! It definitely is different though. Can't really put my finger on it. We also were together for 7 years before getting married.
This year was a little rough for us but it had nothing to do with our marriage. We both lost some important people and had a bunch of other things go wrong. If the first year is the hardest, I'm glad it's almost over.
It is tough when you're far apart. I've been traveling a lot for work, and it sucks being that far away.
Is there any sort of timeline for when you'll be able to live together again?
Also, where in NC are you?
Honestly, I can't believe our anniversary is on Friday! In so many ways it flew by, but on the other hand so much has happened and changed since then that it seems like 5 years ago.
Being apart from each other causes so much stress on the relationship that I'm sure it has made the first year of marriage more difficult than most. It's hard to be in that "honeymoon phase" when you hardly ever see each other. I hope your house sells soon so you can go be w/ your hubby!
I agree with this. It's different... but I can't exactly explain what is different.
We haven't had any major things happen in our first year (yet) so that's good. We were a few months shy of being together for 2 years by the time we got married, so in some ways I feel like this first year of marriage has been more 'getting to know you' stuff, since we only lived together a few months before we got married.
