Sadly many people marry a person expecting they (the partner) will change.

Could not agree with this more. Toss in a little self-deception and you have the answer pretty much.

^^some good posts


The reality is that many people get themselves into bad relationships and then make them (semi)permanent with marriage. A lot fewer good relationships go bad because of "change." Everybody changes, men, women, married, unmarried. In a good relationship, you change with each other and the relationship grows to accommodate who you both are at the time. It would be silly to expect your relationship 5, 10, 20, 50 years down the line to be the same as when you married.

I've only been married two years, dated for five years before that. We've both changed enormously since we met. Our relationship has changed. But we're stronger for all of it.

There's only one way to find out. Do you feel lucky?

even unmarried women change as they mature. ime, I appreciate the fact that we both have changed since we got married 10 plus years ago. our views and beliefs have altered, having kids have put new perspectives on our lives, experiencing death in the family has given us new appreciation to life and to the present, and spending so much time together has, at least for the acidwife, made her a very patient and understanding woman.

It never ends.

as much as I miss my wife when she goes on her vacations with her travel buddy/cousin, I do not look forward to spending the first night of her return listening to her stories about temples, ruins, monks, a nice sunset, the people she meet....

Personal observation: married women, of any age, are much cooler than annoying 20/30-something girls.

Time changes everybody. Marriage could as well, but it's hard to untangle from time.

My thread inspired this, I can almost guarantee!

My wife did not change after marriage. She did not change when we bought a house together. She did, however, change when she became a mom. That said, our baby is about 4.5 months now and I'm starting to see the old personality back. There was a period where she only read baby books, and I suppose that's normal, but it was getting boring for OUR relationship. At this point she's returning to normal.

That was convoluted.

I've been reading this and several other threads like this lately. Picking up my engagement ring today, btw. Can't wait to get married.

I am a different person at 30 than I was at 25. I was different at 25 than I was at 20. Likewise, she will change as well. Make sure she has time to grow up before marriage and then expect her to change again after kids. Knock her up and then marry her!

Actually I need to correct this a bit. Most women change when they are done having more kids.
