So essentially YOU are making all the adaptions, changing YOUR habits and lifestyle while your wife is doing nothing except letting you maintain a few shreds of your previous existence. I hope I am reading this wrong (and you simply haven’t posted on the lifestyle changes your wife has made since marriage, which you’d be nice to read) because if YOU make all the sacrifices you are going to get divorced either now or later.

I am not a “man’s gotta do man things, keep the little lady in the kitchen” guy, happily married and 2 kids BUT the one thing I’ve learnt from 12 years of marriage is that if you don’t share the burden the marriage will end.

I sincerly (really, really!) hope that never happens, but you both have to make sacrifices.

God, I feel like ranting today lol

Adino: Gosh, thanks for sharing your experience! Really wise words Thanks for your concern. Rest assured, we both have our share of adjustments. This post is just from my perspective alone.

Hi Adino, so cool that you found my site thru Google Search. It’s nice ‘meeting’ you though not personally! It’s fun to read your post abt getting married and adjusting to life. Alex and I just celebrated our one month wedding anniversary! Yeah marriage definitely needs adjusting to, he’s the early bird type and now I have been converted! But one good thing is that we’re both pretty social so phew. No need to adapt in DUMC. Hope you adapt well, this morning’s celebration was probably another big eye opener for you, to see so many thousands coming together to worship the Lord!

Adino: Yeah, it was a great time of celebration. I’m used to the big crowd now… things are really well co-ordinated and organized so there aren’t any problems

oh talk about differences in habits!… we should talk over lunch (so that we’ll have enough time to cover everything thru dinner). all 4 of us. or better still, lets make a conference out of this topic alone and invite every couple! lol

Adino: I’m sure that we can’t cover everything within a meal. We might end up talking until the cow comes home (what does that even mean?). Quite dangerous to have a conference… we may end up with a few quarrels, and maybe some divorces! *gulp*

i still squeeze from the bottom-toothpaste..she still squeezes from the top..she never changed

Adino: It’s very hard for someone to change after following their own habit for so many years before marriage.

Darling, thank u for making it easy for me to adjust into ur life. Im sorry if i make u ’suffer’ or not giving u enough of ur own privacy. I’ll learn to give u more space but not too much till u ‘neglect’ me or spend more time on ur laptop/games…i hope we will continue to grow together as a couple n learn to understand each other in a deeper way. I love u darling.

Adino: No la dear, I’m not suffering. I’m just saying it’s different compared to last time, that’s all. I promise not to neglect you okay? I love you too.

hehh.. how do you use your toothpaste — squeeze in the middle or from the end? do you feel comfortable leaving the toilet door open when you or her have to take a piss? does she shave in front of you? sorry if these open questions seem too public — but i think bathroom habits would be my biggest.. hurdle when living with someone.

Adino: Talking about toothpaste, I use Colgate and she use Darlie, so we have separate toothpaste Btw she squeezes from middle and I squeeze from the end. Erm… about toilet door thankfully we both shut the door, and I haven’t seen her shave before hmmm…. maybe I try and peep peep and see later.
