What's Different?
Now that we are all married ladies what is most different about your lives now that you are married?
Re: What's Different?
Nothing. Well, other than my last name. We lived together for 2 years prior to getting married so nothing has changed with how we do things or act. Everyone keeps asking me 'how does it feel to be married now' and I don't know that I am supposed to feel any different....
I still love T more than anything and hate to cook and clean
It's weird to call T my husband but I haven't had to say it very much (I think only once while on HM) but other than that nothings really changed in my life. I am less stressed though and I love that 
I always ask newlyweds this question, so I'm excited to be living it, and see other people's responses.
Things are definitely the same yet different. We've lived together almost our entire relationship, so our home life is pretty much the same. But between J and I, there's a new level of intimacy that has come about. We've been engaged for our entire relationship, but things feel more permanent and secure now. And it's nice to not have the wedding hanging over our heads since we've built up to it for so long. We feel like a normal couple now, not like we're waiting for something. Everything we've talked/dreamed about (buying a house, vacationing, kids, etc.) now seems like a close reality rather than a distant idea. And of course, saying "My husband..." feels different, still makes me giggle.
Yeah, not too much, but it does feel a little different. I wear another ring, H now wears a ring, and my name is changed?
It does feel like a little more "permanent", as PP said...if that's even possible! H and I have lived together for 2 years and have owned a house together for more than a year, so not too much different on that front.
I think the main feeling for me is relief that the wedding planning stresses are over and that we're finally married! Now the focus can be on us from now on, and not the wedding/honeymoon.
We are now living together. I feel like we are a lot closer to one another even though I didn't think it was even possible. I love being able to say "Husband!"
