1. I just think it’s more comfortable, you don’t have to worry if this person likes you. You can hang out in your underwear/bedhead all day and still bang like monkeys

   It’s not so bad…it’s divorce that sucks

2. Living together is nice. Making plans together, achieving goals as a couple.

3. A sense of wholeness set in and an entirely different and new desire to excel in life set in and we’ll.

4. Cake.

5. I finally started getting money back on my taxes. I mean, there’s other things, but that was one of the first tangible things.

6. This is gonna be a short thread. Yay, tax breaks, let’s get married!!!

7. The desire to grow up and make something positive out of our lives .

8. Sharing a last name.

9. Every single thing about it sucked.

10. BAH

11. Back Rubs

12. It really wasn’t a day to day change between us. People react differently to “my wife” than “my girlfriend”, that’s about the only change.

    The big changes came later. Buying a house, kids, all that.

13. I dont think I’ve ever been in a relationship that got objectively better as the level of commitment increased.

14. The love and commitment. I’ve moved around a lot for work for long temporary assignments and had mostly resigned myself to being alone. No one came with and few visited me while I was gone even when I was working in tourist destinations. After we got married the fist time there was a chance I could be moved again she said she’d drop everything and go with me even though she had the option to stay and just see me every other weekend or so. It sounds like a small thing, but it was huge to me.

15. Literally nothing.
