I have asked for advice in other forums and people always say, well you knew it before you married him, but thats not the case.
My husband and I have been married only 5 months. Previously, we lived in a different town together for a year before our wedding. We did nearly everything together, we had a couple that we always hung out with, and we went on lots of dates just us two. Then we moved back to our hometown, and the problems began. Or maybe its because we are married and I have higher expectations. Or its a combination of the two.
Does anyone else newly married feel like this? That their husband/wife changed in a bad way?
I feel like he has been acting more single now that we are married. He hangs out with his friends nearly everyday and doesnt do things we need to get done or do anything like a date with me.
And I have been just majorly stressed out on this emotional roller coaster. Some days we are just so in love and we talk about how we have gotten through tough times together and we love our life and our place, our pets. Its just so wonderful. But then the next day, hes telling me that I try to control him or a crazy example...I was watching the Biggest Loser (which I watch every single week and he knows it.) and he flipped out because I told him not to change the channel. He got so mad and said he was bored, went to bed at 8pm.
The only thing I can come up with is that he doesn't want to be perceived as being held down by his friends. It didnt matter when we werent married, but now that we are it does? Why? I just want things to be normal and to feel like I come first and not his friends.
