So this is specifically directed to the couples only. We usually trade/ exchange/ copy or even have to adopt sometimes as an obligation from our life partner.
What have you copied or adopted from your life partner and when.
For myself, its been three months, since we are married, and the first thing that I copied from him so far is taking cookies with the hot milk before going to bed. Sounds weird maybe, lol, but thats how it is. Not that I was inspired by the idea, but I just do it, love doing so. I feel like it do it for him.
people would rather talk about juicy/gossipy/controversial/negative stuff here.
but anyway, erm, i have stopped drinking tea, he doesnt drink it, only one cup in the morning, and so do i. before i would drink atleast 4 cups a day.
he washes his face at night. seriously, before he never used to. now because i take a shower every night, he ( begrudingingly) washes his face ans puts cream on. in the morning however hes now wearing sunblock, which he had never done before and used to laugh at me doing it.
oh yes and he also eats pasta now because of me. he never used to. :]
Theres gona be lots of views on this thread but less replies ..as ppl in this section wana talk about contraversial and bashing MIL / husband etc things and have discussions on who hates who lol
..I have lots of things which come to mind in an instant ..but sorry dunt wana share ..but what i can is that ... people adapt alot and i mean alott ..cos i know i have :D
He made me realise that there were people in my life who did not have my best interests at heart and this used to upset me a lot. He is very wise and supported me whenever I was upset about it;eventually realised I got over that hurt.
I think we have both helped each other grow and become better people since we have been together.
I took on some of his general optimism towards life and his passion to work at life and to improve. He has learned to be a lot more empathic and caring. Both those things had to be forced from time to time. I never used to eat from subway or have as many shawarmas/falafel as I do now. My subway sandwich ends up being a lot like his. Will post when I remember more stuff.
The most positive effect that I think I helped cultivate in my wife is self criticism. At the time of our marriage, she used to think that everyone else apart from her own immediate family members are against her well being. I have come to make her realize that a major reason for the reactions we see from others is because of our own behavior.
Marriage has helped me become more outspoken.
It has helped me realize my own shortcomings.
It has helped me smile in the face of troubles.
