This is something i’ve been wondering for a while now, with close friends getting married and my own wedding coming up, and it’d be nice to hear some views on how people felt marriage changed their relationships- not only with their significant others but with people around them. Is it the case, for a girl, that everything else has to take a back seat (like spending time with your own family and friends) to focus on your husband and your in laws? From being engaged and “seeing” someone, to getting married, how does the relationship between other half/fiance/husband change and evolve?
One thing I’ve noticed at the minute is that my siblings joke constantly and tease me about how glad they are to be getting rid of me, but there’s sadness in there too, because i know (even though i’m only moving to a neighbouring city) that what we have now is going to come to an end and once i’m married, they’ll see me as belonging to another family (something that i hate!) i think they feel that i’ll automatically become closer to my sisters/brothers in law and forget about them.
It’d be nice to hear people’s experiences…for a bit of reassurance too
