Anna&Matt · April 2009

1) Yes

2-4) we lived together before we got married so it wasn't an issue. no major changes in any of the above.?

**edited - I misread #1 but I did change my name - took me a while to get around to it though**?

jshay778 · April 2009

1- Last name? Yes. Its the first thing I did!

2- Sleeping habits? They stayed the same.

3- Bathroom habits? Same.

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? We lived together for almost 4 years before getting married. So nothing really changed except my last name!

jen-dale · April 2009

1. name- yes. I would have hyphenated but it sounded dumb (the names are too similar)

2. sleeping - not really

3. bathroom habits - I don't think so?

4. House - I bought a house about a year before DH and I were engaged and he moved in. Maybe that is why #2 and #3 didn't change much after marriage. We were already adjusted to eachother.

blondie223 · April 2009

1- Last name? yes, but at work no

2- Sleeping habits? still the same

3- Bathroom habits? still the same

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? We started living together after dating for 6 months, so we didn't really have to change any habits.

mistral · April 2009

1- Last name? Yes, but it took me over a year to do it

2- Sleeping habits? Yep, I go to sleep earlier now so we can go to bed at the same time.

3- Bathroom habits? lol Hmm... we've always lived in small apts where you can hear everything from any room you happen to be in, so I'm sure I'm a little more discreet in the bathroom when I'm having tummy trouble.

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? Yep, I moved in with DH right before we got engaged.

attyalice · April 2009

2- Sleeping habits? No.. I sleep 8 hours. He sleeps 4. I look forward to him being the midnight feeder man w/ babies.

3- Bathroom habits? no. We do anything in front of each other... always have... that's love Embarrassed

Sue&Pasquale:

2- Sleeping habits? umm yeah a little I used to sleep like a log now he snores and wakes me up.

Ssweets04 · April 2009

3- Bathroom habits? lol Yeah... I waited for him not to be around before I "went".

MrsJWeaver · April 2009

3- Bathroom habits? yes, I close the door if its going to be a long stay

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? we bought a house the year before we got married

ibis · April 2009

1. Yes

2. No, we were already living together. So I had already learned to cut off reading in bed at a reasonable hour... and that we needed a king size!!

3. See above. But when we bought a house it came with a half bath that only DH uses. Kind of nice bc he doesn't hog "my" bathroom and I don't clean "his" bathroom.

4. No, we were sharing an apt and continued to live there for about 6 mo until we bought a house together.

BigSar1 · April 2009

lj smith · April 2009

1) Yes

2) We are both night people so we go to bed late but I had to adjust to him getting up and coming back several times a night.

3) DH is a shower in the morning person and I shower at night

4) We both moved. We didn't live together before we got married and wanted our first place together to be ours.

lil_rhody · April 2009

1- Yes

2-4 Nope. We lived with each other a few years before we got married. My name was about the only thing that changed!

KateAndMark · April 2009

1. Yes, it took me 6 months but I finally did it.

2. Nope.

3. Nope we have lived together since 2005 and didn't get married till 2008 so we have lots of time to get use to each other regarding the bathroom.

4. We bought a house in Sept. 07 but DH got a new job the day before the wedding so he moved to PA 3 weeks after the wedding so we lived apart for the first three months of marriage while I got things at the house in TX ready to sell.

NiceAsstra · April 2009

1. Yes. But sometimes I miss my old name

2-4 We lived together as long as we have been together so nothing changed. When we did move in together it was into my apartment- My apartment had the better view. (we lived in the same building,side-by side)

ade2be · April 2009

1. Yes - First thing I did

2. No...though DH probably goes to bed earlier now than he used to.

3. No....door is still open

4. He moved in with me, but we've moved since then together.

ashleyb0604 · April 2009

1. Yes

2. No...well, maybe a little. I am more likely to get in bed early if DH goes just because it's easier to sleep with him there. I don't like being up late by myself.

3. Nope! We are a full-disclosure couple. LOL

4. We moved into a duplex together while I was still in college.

knelli · April 2009

2. We go to bed early together (DH wakes up really early) I tend to read after FWP.

3. We don't share bathrooms... I think it is the best thing ever!

4. We moved into our house together the week before we got engaged (I didnt know it was coming) then we got married 5 months later.

masonmom12 · April 2009

1- Last name? - Yes, his is much simpler/shorter

2- Sleeping habits? - A little, I have to get up really early for work so now we both go to bed pretty early. DH learned early on that his chances of getting any were even more slim if we didn't go to bed at the same time! ;-)

3- Bathroom habits? - not really, we lived together before we got married

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? -- I moved into his apt when we were dating and then we bought a house together after we got engaged

Cow-girl · April 2009

1- Last name? Yep I took his name

2- Sleeping habits? Yep

3- Bathroom habits? lol Not really

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? I moved in with him. Then we bought our house and moved together. We lived together before we got married. (we lived in Sin, lol)

dkfitz07 · April 2009

1- Last name? Yes, but for business I use both names (not hyphenated though)

2- Sleeping habits? I can't sleep anymore....Strangely, I can't touch when I sleep and we need a bigger bed.

3- Bathroom habits? I have no shame lol

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? He lived in our house a couple of months before me. We got married after college so neither of us had a house.

bostonfingerlakes07 · April 2009

1- Last name? yes

2- Sleeping habits? no

3- Bathroom habits? no

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? I moved in with him 2 years before we got married...but we moved into a new place about a year before...hence no change in 2 & 3

eschall · April 2009

1- Last name? First thing I did. My maiden name was really long, married name is short.

2- Sleeping habits? I get less sleep because he snores

3- Bathroom habits? Not really, he wishes I would change them though.

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? We both moved from our own places into a rental. We both started our new careers when we got married so the move was necessary to be closer to our works.

Meegs10.13.06 · April 2009

1) Yes

2-4) We bought a hours together over a year before we got married, prior to which we had an apartment together, so all that stayed the same.

SweetPea517 · April 2009

1- Last name? Yes, but is taking forever. You would think that a name change due to marriage would be easier... alas!

2- Sleeping habits? Not really. He works nights and I work days...so, there are only a few hours of overlap during the week. Then on the weekends we try to accomodate each other by him going to bed earlier and me staying in bed later in the morning reading and what not.

3- Bathroom habits? No, the door tends to stay open--most days that's fine and then there are moments when it's not...

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? He already owned a house. So, after 8 months of dating I moved in. Even though we're Catholic, "living in sin" was a must for both of us as I my parents went through several divorces and he went through one himself. I just needed confirmation that we were compatible in every aspect.

Pamela05 · April 2009

1- Last name? Yes, about two months later since we had some international work travel planned for a few weeks post-wedding

2- Sleeping habits? I don't think so.

3- Bathroom habits? I always close the door even when I'm home alone now. Didn't always before.

4- house? Who moved in with who? or did you both move? We bought a house and moved to a new town together. First night together in the house was the 2nd night after the wedding.

nferrante · April 2009

1- yes!!!

2- I didn't have to...he got two extra people with him(my daughter comes in at 3am every morning! haha)

3- He's learned to let me go and he goes after! haha

4- He moved in with me and then we got a HOUSE together! YAY
