New couple on the block!

[bluegreysky]

Hello everyone,
I'm here now, a newlywed!
This marriage is hot out of the oven,
fresh off the lot-
Just a week ago we tied the knot!
our marriage is like a newborn baby…
a lifetime of maturing to do
it's been all fun so far
because it hasn't seen any of those defining challenges yet
that test its strength…
but I'm sure it will. And when it does, I'll be here.

In the mean time-
A little bit about me:
I'm 26 years young, a Florida girl born and raised.
I met him when I was 21, just out of college.
He was 22, just out of military, honorable discharge.
We fell in love right away, but he has PTSD and it took a few years
for him to heal and grow strong and for us to be ready for marriage.
And now here we are!
We are members of a local church, and we hope God will use us
in every way possible to make a positive impact on the community.

Want to know more about me or him or us?
Just ask me anything.... I'm an open book.
And also a comedian. So my answers might have some slight exaggerations and ironic value to them.

Welcome! I've followed many of your posts in the Singles forum.

The Married section can be a bit of a boxing ring at times.

Hint: don't use the "s-word" (submission)!

Me? NEVAR!

I'm too cool for that.

Welcome to the new block. Don't forget where you came from.

 

[bluegreysky]

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

When people are dating and get married sometimes expectations change. Being married doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone, this leads to differing expectations between spouses sometimes. ie If your parents always did the dishes together then its obvious to you married people do dishes together. If your husband's mother did the dishes all the time and you ask him to help you he might get peeved a bit and think you are being lazy cause his mom always did the dishes. If his mother comes over and sees you asking him to help do the dishes she might think you are being lazy because... and on and on it goes.

Little things like those tend to be straws that add up and break the camel's back if they are not addressed early and out in the open.

Ha, good answer.

Congrats on your wedding and I hope that you find married life to be everything you hoped for.

Welcome.

Btw, if you can get a dishwasher that scrapes the gunk off and puts the dishes in itself, let me know.

I prefer the human variety of dishwasher if you can afford to hire them. That was one of the good things about living overseas.

Glad you are posting here now, and I hope you that married life is a real blessing for you and your spouse.

 

[bluegreysky]

so far, so good

Congrats, BGS I pray you're able to find your niche here in the "non singles" areas. It can get pretty abrasive and harsh around here sometimes. Keep your thick skin on and have fun!

well, I don't have thick skin.
But I do have tan skin, and according to some tee shirt I saw at
Hollister's, those who have tans are the only ones who can survive in California.
I live in Florida, but I figure it's probably the same survival tactic.
