Even though it’s hard to admit, I’ve changed since getting married. OK I see you rolling your eyes. But hear me out: It was important to me not to change! I wanted to be the same chicka, the same friend, the same person.
I didn’t want to be that girl who you hear about. The one who was pretending to have a life but was actually just sitting around waiting to get married to have a life. And for whatever reason I somehow interpreted it to mean I couldn’t change at all.
So here it is. The great reveal.
Top Five Ways I’ve Changed Since Getting Married
- Sharing. I’m selfish by nature and I’m still surprised at how easy it was for me to start sharing and how easily I’m adapting to it. Although I don’t really see why I would have to ever share a bathroom unless we only have one bathroom. Why? So I’m still not really sharing my bathroom but I’m aware of it and am opening up to the possibility. Ish
- Watching Boy Movies. At first I was tolerating these movies. Then I was suggesting them. To be nice. Now? Well, I’m kind of sort of enjoying them. SOME of them. I still think Zombieland was stupid. A little funny. Mostly stupid
- Teasing. Yes I’m bringing up the Snuggie again. But I’m still in shock a year later that I haven’t grown tired of the teasing. Instead I’m, like, kind of liking the attention. Before marriage I could put up with some teasing and would even banter a bit back, but before too long my patience would grow thin and the joke would get tired. So there’s that
- Kitchen Meltdowns. I’ve never had these before. Not that I can recall. But now there’s something developing in me. I want to…cook amazing food for my husband. And then if I screw it up I have a meltdown cause I’m so disappointed. What the what!?!
- Sushi. Just kidding. I still don’t like it and usually duck out of plans including it (sorry husband).
I’m curious to know how marriage has changed you (if you’re married)?
One more thing. I think you’ll enjoy my free resource library. This is where I keep my files, downloads, ebooks, worksheets and whatever else I manage to create. I love sharing what I learn and want to keep adding to this library so it becomes a wealth of helpful goodness.

I get what you mean, and I think changing is a good thing. Can you imagine if getting married didn’t change anything about you? I don’t think that would be a good thing.
Everything we do that is meaningful changes us, it doesn’t mean we weren’t a full person before.
You should find find something similar to sushi to get H to adapt, so that it’s easy to get on board.
First of all, are you saying you have TWO bathrooms? Lucky duck! Although I find if you don’t have to get up at the same time it doesn’t matter much anyways. 😀
Second, no sushi?! That will have to change. It looks like you’re open to change and sounds like H puts sushi high on the list, so I’m thinking you’ll come around eventually. lol!
There are 7 adults and 2 kids in our house – 2 bathrooms.
One bathroom is being renovated right now, so that means NINE people to ONE bathroom! Count your blessings! hahaha
