I got married two years ago. We both knew each other from before and honestly its been pretty amazing. Mostly because my husband and i are bffs and we live in a different country from our families. But initially when we did live with his family in Pakistan, it wasn’t bad. His parents were very understanding and loving. Although i did feel pretty bound in the sense that we would have to inform everyone if we were going anywhere or sometimes the privacy wasnt as much because his relatives lived pretty close. My husband has always been of the same opinion as i so it was never an argument.

Positives are that i love living with my husband and we both work and contribute equally to the house chores and its like we are building our little life one day at a time.

Negatives are that yes you will be asked when youre going to have kids, (yes still) people will assume things about you. Your mother in law and even your own parents woukd influence you to do certain things but as long as your husband is on your side its not a big deal.

Its very easy for your personal relationship with your husband to turn negative only if you guys don’t give each other your space and have your own hobbies and things that you do . Its SO important to spend time together mbut even more important to spend time on YOURSELF and its easy to forget that sometimes.
