What we don't realize is that all these seemingly little fibs add up and we decide they aren't important any more once we're married. I know how this is first hand. There are quite a few things I did that I do not take the time to do anymore and Mallory is the same way. If you told me that I would be the one in my house doing all the cleaning years ago, I would be livid. Today it still annoys me but it is the way things happen.
Mallory's Side:
Things are different once you get married. Once you have that person, you don't need to impress them anymore. The chase is over. Daniel used to be a lot different before we got married. He was attentive, charming, and chivalrous. Now, he is pretty much the opposite. I'm probably not the same either but that is just the way the cookie crumbles. You fall in love with the person and as you get to know each other, you both grow and change together. Then comes the true test: whether or not you still love that person once you see their true colors. So far, I think Daniel and I are doing alright. I mean, we have known each other for a while so I think I have seen every possible side of him.
The fact is we return to our normal ways once we build a stable relationship. Once this happens, you actually learn what the other person is like. If you think they perfect, don't be fooled. It takes everyone a while to open up.
Do you really believe that you don't put up a front? Is there an annoying habit you don't share until you've been dating awhile? Let us know on Facebook & twitter. Also ever wonder how I deal with everything that drives me nuts? Patience is key but beer also helps. Check out my other blog on one of my favorite hobbies called Bay Area Brews.
