Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

hm, the biggest habit i gave up after marriage, for about 8/9 years i had a habit of listening to music realllly late into the night, long after everyone else had gone to sleep.well i had to give that up, and sort of miss it, cos it was my 'me time' but meh.
annnnd habits ive changed, well its not just me anymore, ive got a husband to consider too lol, so i guess whenever i make a decision etc, theres hubby to consider too basically. takes a bit of getting used to, but not that hard :) .

Zobia i appreciate your thought. so far i have seen a first person like you who have herself said this thing and admitted this. and this is what we have to do and this is the sign of your conscious. very well thinking.

i appreciate that!

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

I was very spur of the moment person, things like a buddy will call me at midnight on Friday, and say hey we are going to NYC for the weekend, want to come..and I would just go, sometimes literally from where i was and picking up toileteries and change of clothes. It got to a point that I almost always had a weekend bag in my car with sleeping clothes, a change of clothes and

being among the first one married from my gang, it was a little tough to do that, even though begum said to do what I want, but her and I had plans, I could not just cancel them at the drop of a hat, or if I am having a nice dinner with her and soemoen calls saying hey I got extra flyers tickets but u need to be here asap.

Other habits of mine, like deciding at 2 a.m. for no sensible reason that I was craving genos cheesesteaks or that I need to go get some kebab rolls from edison which was 90 mins or so away, and just hopping in my car and going.

she never stopped me, but I just felt that it was unfair for me to do that kinda stuff all teh time. I still did it, but less often.

sleeping diagonally across the bed....

Honestly I didn't have to give up anything once I was married. After having kids is another story.

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

u can take her along for ur late nite cravings run!

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

All of you are build from same "matti"

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

X2....your former lifestyle sounds fun. I wish girls had more freedom.

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married


for this kind of habit i wouldnt mind - i would hop along with my hubby and enjoy the night away with tasty food :D

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

I didn't feel like I had to give up or change anything when I got married. I used to sleep in a lot during my single days, but when I got married, I automatically started waking up early, though hubby loved sleeping in. With a baby now, it's a whole different story. We're up around 7am everyday. Can't go out whenever we want, which we used to do a lot. Everything has to be planned.

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

Hmmm, after marriage, I quit watching drama type movies. Now I watch only action and sci fi, and strangely, I totally enjoy them.

Other than that, really I don't think I had to change a whole lot. Or let's say, I don't really feel like I miss out on anything as I have complete freedom to do whatever I want. I was never the hanging out with friends till late or going on shopping sprees type of person.

I guess when any change comes out of choice rather than force it's easier to deal with.

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

I am sure you don't have to give up your IPOD or your "me" time. As a matter of fact, it is healthy to have some "me" time for each of you.

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

I had no bad habits , so had to change or give up nothing.

Re: what habits did you need to giveup/change once u were married

one thing that changed for me was the amount of time i spent with friends hanging out, going out...etc. I just don't up & go wherever & whenever I want. Bu tit's not a negative change. Marriage brings so many different changes that are positive as well, like I would love to hang out with hubby etc, we used to go out a lot, far and a lot of local places just to try them out. In the beginning, I had gotten so busy, but now I go out about once a week with my girlfriends for whatever we want at that time. Having kids throws you completely off...hehe...so I have hubby watch the baby and I get to do "ME" stuff at least once a week :)
