Anyone else expect to feel different after you got married?

It was very funny because the next day we woke up and looked at each other and said 'do you feel any different?'
We feel exactly the same as we did before we were married.Maybe we feel a little closer now.

I dont feel much different myself, but I feel much closer to Jay now that we are married, because I see him everyday. We grow closer and closer each day, and know when he is in a bad mood, and when something is bothering him...etc.
It feels GREAT to be married

I agree. I love being married. Everyday I find more and more things to love about him.

The one thing I hard the most is that 'the first year is the hardest!' Well it's been over 10 months and we are doing fine. I really couldn't believe so many people made that comment but so far I guess we've been lucky.

To me everything is the same. After almost 9 years together and living together for most of the time, it was just a formality. People aske me too if I feel different. And I always say no!!

We've been together and very much committed to each other for so long, nothing changed and that is a good thing.

If things werent good before we got married, I would have never married him :D

nope, not really different at all. other than i love being married to him! but we lived together for a while and own our own home. (i must admit that first year we bought the house was a bit of an adjustment!)

BUT, i do have to say, what i am having trouble getting used to is that i am not longer the 'bride.' nobody claps when i come into a room. nobody (but DH) tells me i look beautiful all the time! i actually am expected to do work now. this part is the bummer!!

Feels the same for me except I think we both feel more responsibility towards each other. And now I can remind him of his responsibilities around the house without feeling bad.

I feel closer to DH now that we are married. We did not live together before we got married so I think that has a lot to do with it.

We feel very different because we didn't live together before we got married- exactly for the reason because we wanted to feel different.

I feel exactly the same as JoRo. The first year we lived together was difficult but marriage hasn't been much different. We feel much closer though.

Do we feel different? Probably not really. We were committed to our relationship before the wedding and after. I think if you already live together the change is not nearly as dramatic as when you don't.

Actually, my dh had to answere that question at a party recently! This is what he said: 'I just started wearing a ring. As far as commitment goes, it was always there, so the wedding didn't change anything!'

I though it was so cute!
I was eavesdropping!

I kinda felt different. More relaxed maybe that I wasn't planning the perfect day anymore.

I didnt expect our relationship to be different since we were together for a couple of years before the wedding and were already living together.

But I love saying 'My husband.....'

Of course we thought that we'd 'feel' different after the wedding, but we didn't. It did 'feel' different when we were on our honeymoon and the staff would call me Mrs. XXX -- and everytime I had to say 'my husband' .
