10 Things About Marriage: Part Two
These are the positive ones. If you're planning on getting married anytime soon, read these and skip the first five!
6. It’s like living with your best friend… only better.
It was great when we were just living together, but being married (or maybe just being together longer, who knows?) has made it even better. I am sharing a house with my best mate, and sharing a bed with my lover. And they’re the same person.
7. People stop questioning your relationship.
Because I used to be a bit of a slapper and a total commitment-phobe, right up until we got married people were always asking “How’s it going?” “Are you still together?” “Have you got bored of him yet?” “Are you shagging around yet?” etc etc. Ever since 23rd December 2004, the ‘once a slapper, always a slapper’ questions have stopped.
8. You’re officially a grown up…
…in the eyes of people who patronised you before. At long last, certain people who shall remain nameless have stopped treating me like a child. And even better…
9. …You’re allowed to misbehave more than ever.
Because you’re considered to be a sensible married type, so getting razzed and embarrassing yourself is permitted because you ‘obviously aren’t like that most of the time’. Ah, if only they knew! My behaviour hasn’t changed a bit, but I get much less grief now.
10. You have the security to really be yourself.
I really did think I was totally being myself right from the word go with Him. But I realised after we got married that I had still been a little too keen to always present my ‘best face’ to Him. Even though He could always tell when I wasn’t being honest. Now, for some bizarre ring-related reason, I feel able to let all my nastiness and pre-Him black icky wrongdoings out – in the knowledge that it’s very hard for him to just fuck off, so he probably won’t.
