Re: * QOTD * 6/18

not much we pretty much live together now at my Mom's house and since he is currently out of work he does the household things and I work FT. So I guess when he is back to work (which could be anyday now if it weren't for the economy) it will be us splitting the chores

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

I think the hardest thing for us will be me having to convince FH that he can't spend all of his income on toys!!

I don't think anything is going to change. We already live together, so all that stuff is out of the way.

HOWEVER, ok, maybe there is one thing. We live together in my parents' house, so we're still under their 'rules'-- and by that I don't mean like we have a curfew or something, I mean that I am specifically referring to the fact that we cannot bring any more pets in the house because my parents will flip out.

Once we have our own house, all h3ll is going to break loose, because I am on a mission to save every stray animal in the world. FH is partially into my mission, but he has his limits. So this will probably be our grand dilemma.

I don't think much will change since we already live together, but I'd probably agree with you other girls saying to get FH to call you his wife. I have a feeling I'm gonna be dealing with that as well. lol.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

We'll finally be able to sleep in the same bed on family vacations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's weird that we can't now because we live together and we'll be living together in our new house for over a year before we're married...but my parents are traditional. They dismiss the fact that we sleep in the same bed now and want us to respect their rules by not staying in the same bed when we're not married and on vacation with them!

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

I'm not a morning person, so FH needs to know that I like my space when I'm getting ready in the morning. I think we will be fine with everything else; he knows that I get into moods when I just want to be alone and he's slowly learning how to deal with me after 9 years.

NOTHING!

We have been living together for 5 years, we have owned our (technically mine) home for 2 years, we have a cat, dog, we work at the same place (different buildings), we have our masters (from the same school).

The only thing that will be different is the new items that we might acquire from the wedding, the money we will have (since we won't be saving up for a wedding) and a little more desire to have children.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

We moved in together in February. The household chores have been the most diffcult to adjust to ... but FH is amazing he doen't mind doing the laundry ...he just hates to fold...... On the other hand I love having him to come home to.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

Well, we moved in about 3 months ago and things have been GREAT!
He is a little messy, but we are working on that! I would have to say that It will be more of a change for me having a new last name, and being called Marie S__________ instead of Marie P________

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

For me it would be living with him. We dont live together yet. I will be home sick for a while. I am super close with my dad and thinking that I wont be able to bother my parents in the middle of the night over stupid things will be difficult for me. Also not having my two younger sister around but I guess with time it will be ok. But I am super close with my family so I will have a very hard time when I move out. On top of that his a cop so his barely home. At home I always had my dad around, he has back problems and can no longer work.

Also dealing with FH mess, his not exactly the cleanest and it drives me crazy.

And lastly cooking I am not a kitchen gal and his mom is the best cooker ever. So I will definitely have a problem in this department. I told his mom to start teaching me lol.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

I think deciding who will pay the bills. He makes WAY more than I do so will be paying for mostly everything but I am so used to scheduling online payments and knowing what is coming and going that it is going to be hard to try and do it any other way... He writes checks and waits for the physical bill to come in the mail... that makes me insane.

Oh, we do live together and laundry is a NIGHTMARE.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

Since we won't be living together until we're married, it's definitely going to be a transition for the both of us.

Honestly the one thing that worries me a lot is how our cats will get along. Funny how I'm more concerned with that than anything else.

The good thing is that when it comes to chores, I like doing the things he doesn't like, and vice-versa. I cook all the time, I'll do the dishes, mop, scrub the bathroom, etc. But I hate hate hate straightening up things, putting things back in their places, sweeping, dusting, and vacuuming...which FH doesn't mind doing.

Um...I'm also going to have to either give up my Hello Kitty toaster or buy a regular toaster for FH. He really does not want that to be our main toaster, LMAO!

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

I dunno... I think calling the in-laws mom and dad.... kinda nervous about that one.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

one word...finances! BUT i told fh that i will be taking care of all bills b/c if i left money to him...we'd have a huge flat screen tv and no house to live in. But him adjusting to me taking care of all money issues will def be a change

Probably getting FH to call me his wife, lol. He still calls me his girlfriend, not his fiance. But I guess after 9 years of calling me his girlfriend, change doesn't come easy

We've been living together for almost 3 years now, so those little quirks are out of the way for us.

this is my exact response.

yeah i agree to this as well.

I would also add that maybe finances will be somewhat different. As of right now we have most of our money separate in our own accts with one joint acct for wedding $$. However, when we are married I think we will have to get used to pooling more of our money together .

Me too!! And hopefully he will FINALLY call this place OUR HOME and not my (meaning me) house.

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

we've been living together for about 3 years already so nothing will really change, we are already like a married couple. but i think adjusting to saying husband and wife will take a little while

Dean Bean Posted: Jun 18, 2009 04:43 PM

Re: * QOTD * 6/18

We don't live together and FH is a SLOB! I'm a neat freak, so I think this will cause some friction. I hope I'm not too much of nag about it, but he's going to have to help. He's used to everything being done for him

Haha and I liked Laura's post... FH still calls me his girlfriend too! We've been together 7 years, the wife transition should be funny, I bet he'll still do it hahaha
