What Changes Have You Noticed in You After Marriage? by peacettw: 6:09am On Aug 20, 2011 |
After abt a half a decade of getting married, i can't help but notice some changes. For instance, i used to be terrified of cockroaches. I literally run and used to beg my husband in our first yr of marriage to kill them, now, well, i'm an expert at exterminating them n do it wit such expertise dt i fear d 'Queen' of cockroaches might pay me a visit. I also cld never eat garri wit my hand, always thinking it not cool n using a fork, now, a bowl of garri can never be enjoyed unless i use my hands. So guys and ladies that are married, what changes ve u noticed? Will post more as i recall them After abt a half a decade of getting married, i can't help but notice some changes.

My first marriage I had to be strong and keep all my emotions to myself. With my present hubby am like butter, alwats melting at d slightest thing, I can cry just watching cartoons, lol cos I like leaning on ma mans chest. Am more womanly was a tom boy who ever tot I will be wearing victorias secrets? Am more patient, I have always had great cooking skills but continous practice makes perfect. Before I couldn't srand untidy spaces and ma husband is terribly untidy before I was always cleaning after him now as he dirty am na so I dey leave am he says he likes his own mess wetin concern me |

^^Dt's beautiful. Read abt your story in d 'my husband cheats on me all d time' and was inspired. I'm glad your second marriage is working out as it will give me hope if and when i decide to leave due to threating circumstances. Pls, did u ve any kids from your first marriage and how long were u married for b4 u left? |
Re: What Changes Have You Noticed in You After Marriage? by Nobody: 7:53am On Aug 20, 2011 |
First of all, please try to save your marriage first, leaving is d absolute last option and only when a marriage becomes life threatening, I left not just cos I wanted to but because it had become a matter of life and death, try counselling, communication first. We didn't have kids that was a major part of the problems, I have a baby now, got pregnant I think in the first week of marriage very ironic considering the fact that I was always publically refered to as barren. God ways are perfect sha. My 2nd marriage is not a bed of roses either but both of us are xommitted to making it stick making it work. Stay blessed |

Hmmmmmm!!!!WHAT HAS CHANGED OOOOO? I think am much more calmer now, used to be really hot-headed, but i just let things pass, especially since i had my son, have learnt to be patient in every thing, Before i got married, ' you make one mistake, am out the door', no time for discussion, abeg!!, but now, guess am more matured. 1 Like |

Re: What Changes Have You Noticed in You After Marriage? by peacettw: 10:19pm On Aug 20, 2011 |
The tolerance thingy seems to be universal. I cldn't tolerate anything or anyone dt brings me d slightest discomfort, now my tolerance level is so high dt sometimes i play d fool just to have a moment's peace. Also i cld finish a bottle of alcoholic wine without any side effects but after my first child, a glass of wine gets me tipsy. Imagine a scenario where ur worst labor pain is nothing compared to ur worst menstrual pain. Used to ve d worst menstrual pain but after d birth of my first baby, it stopped. Still am grateful to God for dt. |

Mine is more of changes after motherhood: Stopped my lust for eating "buka made amala".Before,once I step into a new city or area,my first port of call is the area's best amala joint,hubby and family have since given up on me.Arrival of my kids made the difference though Im still fighting the urge.lolz Stopped taking my home made and soul nourishing "monkey tail". Became more conscious of my spending habits and finance. My intimate libido increased too.I "thought" I was the good ol' girl,boy-oh-boy,Im even surprised at myself.haha egwu dikwa. |

After marriage I stop eating junks cos she gives me d best Nigeria dishes. I stop coming back home late from business, instead I ask some of my employees to stay till the late hour while I go home and prepare my wife's food(I enjoy doing that since she became preg). What else? Well I dont drive rough again |
Re: What Changes Have You Noticed in You After Marriage? by Nobody: 5:39am On Aug 22, 2011 |
First and foremost I thank God for the past 6 years that I got married to my beautiful angel and mother, I notices a lot of changes and these has affected my life greatly. 1. my eating habit change more nigerian dishes since i got married less bread and bulter. 2. have most trust in my wife than any other person. 3. mode of dressing change. 4. getting angry easily b4, but learn to be patience now because my wife will never be in an hurry to answer you.so i look like a fool when i got angry. many more. 2 Likes |

Physically: When i look at myself in the mirrow i wonder what kept me from marrying my wife since the first few months we have met (we courted for one and half years). Emotionally: I b.ang my wife with all the relaxations in this world without any thought of the HIVs and the drama of 'i missed my period' etc back in the days. Financially: So so prudent in spending and managing my finance. Hyginically: My wife is something else! She can even 'inspect' my shoes to make sure no sand or any dirt is attached to it before 'allowing' me into the house, can u imagine? My marriage is 18 months and 15 days today and i always silently pray to God to let it continue this way till the end. 1 Like |

I'm more patient and tolerant I've learned to cook nigerian dishes I've discovered that I can actually work (much) more and rest (much) less, which is what I do to keep up with the family responsibilities My needs come no longer first Emotionnally I feel comfortable, secured, safe, peaceful, more than ever in my life The down side is that I'm less spontaneous (going out with hubby after a full day at work + housechores + kids wake up early, I'd rather stay in and sleep ) I sometimes nag, (hate it, but i have to admit ) |
