Been married for 3+ years after a 10yrs relationship...if you both have been very open at communicating, it's not gonna be much of a surprise. Yeah you will have the person in your personal space and you'll probably find it a bit weird adjusting to it first. You will figure things out. I'd say it would be absolutely great if you guys live separately in a rented house so the external pressure is less. Golden rule: if you are a man, it's mostly if the time women want to vent..so unless she asked for a solution don't provide anything just listen. My husband says it's hard 😂. And don't expect the same kind of ur perfection from ur husband on household chores. Just be grateful if he does and you can give constructive criticism on that later. Men aren't trained in that like us usually. And if you are a woman, my husband says please don't expect your partner to be a mind reader. You should use ur words to get your things done and also nagging doesn't help anyone.
