Is everyone have a good first year of marriage? I know this has been the roughest 10 months of my life am I alone in that?

Sorry to hear that.
I am having a great first year of marriage but I'm only at the 6 month mark so far...
Our only rough patches are that we are definitely doing more things with family than we would like as newlyweds - would like to have more alone time together but DH's dad died the week of our wedding so his mom is having a hard time with it so we try to see her as much as we can....most Saturday nights we do dinner with her which can get hard because sometimes I just want to do dinner with DH but I understand she is lonely so I realize I am being a brat and a baby and I shut up and go.
Everything else is great though - love being married!
our first year has been wonderful!
well the first few months were definitely interesting but things havent gotten a lot better and easier...i think it is only natural to have some rough times in the beginning especially if you two are living together for the first time

Everyone I've spoken to has said that the first year of marriage is the toughest of them all.
I can't say that life with DH has been perfect, but I would say we get thru the ups and downs together and it makes us a stronger couple b/c of it.

Our first year has been pretty good, but it did test us. My DH's job, my DH's cancer scare, buying a condo, affording a condo, paying bills, friends. But for us, its all worth it. We were together for 7 years when we got married so it wasn't too much of a change.

THANKS!!! Sometimes I feel like such a biatch for even thinking I'd rather be just doing something alone with DH but I just think of how alone she must feel...so it's nice to hear that it's nice of me! Thank you! DH also has 2 brothers so we all try to take turns being with her on the weekends so she is not so alone - it's hard enough for her during the week while we're all at work and stuff. It's not easy though I have to say...love the woman but it's hard to feel you always have to do something with her.
oh man the first 4 or 5 months were a HUGE adjustment. We did not live together prior to getting married and that took some work. Even then though, I was just so thrilled to be married and its getting even better!!!
I think we are having a wonderful year. I can't believe it's almost up.
Our courtship and engagement was actually more stressful than our first year of marriage. But the stress was not with each other, it had been in regard to my Dad's failing health and his passing. The year that followed, was a year of relief and time for US. I am blessed.
this first year of marraige (well, almost a year) has been pretty great! we have had some hard times but we dealt with them together and are doing great. october marks our 7th year together, so we feel like we've been married much longer than we actually have. it has been an evenful year for us as we moved to Charlotte, started new jobs, i started grad school, my DH decided to go back to school (finally!!), and other fun stuff.
The first year thus far has definitely been a challenge. It has been full of ups and downs. But we have also been through a lot- especially with buying a house and financial concerns that go along with it. It is all about balance and communication. We both have to get used to the way we do things.
our first year was actually great... we have had a lot of things go on - living together for the first time, moving out of our apt and into my parents house, buying a house, doing renovations on the house... but so far we have been very happy!! We are just beginning our second year, can't wait to move out of my parents house and be on our own again! Its been almost 6 months now!
