I Fell In!
It’s happened! It’s been three weeks since the honeymoon, Hubby and I are fabulous, and the transition to married living has gone smoothly. That is, until this morning. Three in the morning is mighty early to be awake, but when nature calls—well, we must answer. Trying to be a loving wife, I don’t turn on any lights in the master suite and stumble through the darkness to the toilet where I proceed to fall in. My dear Hubby has left the toilet seat up, so my quick trip to the restroom has now turned into an impromptu swimming lesson.
There is nothing fictional about the statement that living with someone changes everything. The place you used to put your toothbrush may have become home to a razor. And that cute basket for extra tissue on the back of the toilet? Don’t count on that staying around long. The truth is, when you live together (before or after marriage), things drastically change and you have to learn to roll with the punches.
The belches, the gas, the loud screams during The Game—it’s enough to drive any woman mad, but when it comes down to it we truly love our men. Ignoring these habits may work for a while, but before long the once-cute burp in the middle of the 52nd overtime will get old and you have to be able to communicate to your husband about your concerns. Whether it means he finally gets that “man-room” Tim Taylor tried so hard to create, or you get to shop while he watches the big game, the two of you need to find a balance.
While arguments are close to inevitable, and “falling in” will happen, you will quickly learn that how you handle them will make all the difference. Learn how to pick your battles wisely and how to laugh at your wet butt.
