Thank you so much for your FM!! I appreciate it so much...and would have to say that, yes, moving to London has been my biggest compromise since getting married!!
I agree with you, it is a great experience and I'm learning so much more about my DH just being here. But it's a long summer full of expensive flights and I'm feeling very lonely and homseick right now I miss my family and friends and strangely, just particular streets in New York!!! But, moving to London for DH is something that I would forever regret not doing, so here I am!!

I would have to agree with this. DH is a penny-pincher and checks our bank account on a daily basis practically! I don't like it when he questions me about things that I buy. He refuses to have separate checking accounts too which really annoys me. I'm in no way a shopaholic, so I don't know what he's so worried about. Grrrr...

Two of my biggest regrets are not finding a place for us to live before we got married (it's SUCH a PITA) and actually, not living together before we got married. I am having a hard to time just learing to be patient with certain things, like his sloppiness, etc.

I have to say the biggest change is the money issues. I loved having my own money and spending at will. I can't do that anymore. Now it all has to go in the bank towards bills, bills, bills. I miss going shopping whenever I want!!!

We have both been learning to compromise about spending equal time with his family/my family and his friend/my friends. Sometimes it's hard to juggle.

Learning to deal/handle with DH's bad temper and his mood swings. He gets very moody and angry when he's irrated. DH learns to deal/handle my style of anger. He gets very irrated and moody very easily to snap.

Definitely learning to share my money and having to answer to someone for my spending habits

Sharing a bed (that's been pretty tough)
Budgeting just about everything
Dealing with DH's habits (not too bad though!)

1. Changing my name! I wanted to keep my maiden name but DH had a heart attack. We compromised and I ended up hypenating.
2. Money. DH has the checkbook balanced and he SAVES like crazy. I like to SPEND.
We lived together for 7 months before getting married so we are used to each other's habits.
