Knowing each other too well?

I've known my soon to be husband since 6th grade. As I've gone on in the wedding process, i feel like i know him too well. Every eyeroll, sigh, facial expression that we exchange, smile and so on. I have to say its kind of annoying when eyes at me what he wants and then expects me to get it. He thinks its just because we've known each ohter so long, but i dont do that at all. What can i do to bring a little mystery back?

Re: Knowing each other too well?

  • If you are sick of your FI already, it's going to be a long marriage.
  • Well, then meet a stranger and marry him.
  • It's a shame you live on an island with him as the only other human being.  I hope you get rescued soon so you don't have to settle for the dude you met before you went through puberty.

  • I'd have issues communicating with a mute too, regardless of how long we've known each other.

  • Him expecting you to fetch things for him has nothing to do with how well you know each other.
  • Your already annoyed?

    Don't get married. That would be a mistake. 

    I wouldn't change a thing...it's all led me to you.

  • See- if you can't appreciate that you DO know each other so well, I have to agree - you've got a LONG road ahead of you.

    I remember a woman I used to work with, and she complained how her DH would "dare" to call to her from another room and ask "hey, what are you doing?", and she was nasty and was like "I'm READING. What do you think I'm doing?".

    DH and I will do the same thing to one another and I realize it's just more a simple "checking in" w/ your spouse and letting them know your thinking of them.

    Needless to say, that marriage was at the beginning of the end.  And while that is only 1 example, I remember that is was just SOOOO clear to me how fed up and "over" her DH she was. 

    You don't have to get married just because you've been together for so long.

  • I don't think the issue here is knowing each other too well, it's more than you seem to just not be that into him anymore. Which is ok, but then you should not be getting married.

    Actually, its funny but the other day when H and I were going about our regular routine and we were both were wordlessly handing the other something we knew they would need next. It was the first time I really noticed it, and it made me laugh. But in no way do I find it annoying that we know each other's habits so well. I find it comforting.

     I think you need to think about why you are marrying him if you are having these feelings.
