Will spend money on me, but many say there's a difference between before and after marriage. Should I continue? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Hello, I would like to inquire if my situation is marriage phobia. Thank you! I met my boyfriend through a blind date, and we got married one month later. On the day we got the marriage certificate, I felt regretful about signing the papers. Now, I am increasingly dissatisfied with my boyfriend, feeling he is not tall enough, too thin, and have thoughts of a quick divorce. I fear hurting my parents' hearts (they want me to marry early and are satisfied with the groom). I am worried about fighting after marriage, as my temper is not very good, but his parents are indeed quite nice. My boyfriend is also good now, as he is willing to give me money to spend and buy things for me, but many people say that there are two different sides before and after marriage. Should I continue?

Be kind to a girl who seems young and inexperienced.

You two have already got married, so he's not your boyfriend anymore. Marriage and love are two different things. It's too soon for you to get married after knowing each other for just over a month.

Even getting a marriage certificate a month after a relationship is pretty quick. I'm not sure what your parents, your partner's parents, and you thought, since you feel the timing is rushed.

You're already married.

If you divorce, you'll probably have to deal with property and family issues. You haven't been married long, so you probably don't have much to divide.

There are also many formalities to take care of.

Third, focus on the relationship. You said you don't like your boyfriend's height or looks and are worried about fighting and his temper after marriage.

Your boyfriend treats you well and buys you things.

.

It's all superficial. Does he match your personality? Does he take care of you? Are you dependent on him?

Do you feel close when you're together?

.

It's about marriage and relationships, not gifts or height.

You're a simple child with little romantic experience. There are still lessons to learn, and I hope I can help. I hope you mature quickly.

Hello, host!

It's so lovely when two people meet through a matchmaking service or through free love. It's really fate that brings them together!

It's so important to feel happy in your marriage. And it's really not that different from wanting to be intimate or not, or being in a free relationship or not.

They all decided to get together because their relationships were strong, and most of them will be happy after marriage.

If the emotional foundation isn't strong and there isn't enough trust and understanding, even people in free love will encounter conflicts.

Marriage is all about two different individuals coming together to create a beautiful family. It's about mutual understanding and acceptance.

We can't choose to avoid or go cold-shoulder because of some problems on one side.

It's possible that these issues are related to the influence individuals receive from their original families when they're young.

But don't worry! Even if your partner is a bit grumpy, you can still make your marriage work if you're both willing to be patient and tolerant.

As any married couple knows, it's only natural that monotony and boredom can set in from time to time.

It's not about changing the other person, but about looking at yourself. Have I been patient and caring enough?

Do I feel a bit upset? Do I feel like I have enough security and attention from the other person?

It's totally okay to not be as sweet as honey every day in a marriage. Just be there for each other and keep the other person in mind.

Even if there's no dialogue or communication under the same roof, and each person does what they like and feels comfortable, that's a good state of being.

Marriage starts with two people, and when you work together and achieve mutual goals, it can lead to a happier life!

I really hope the host lives a happy and fulfilling life!

I'm Warm June, and I just want to say that I love you, the world, and you!

Hello, I can tell you're worried and sad about your situation. It seems like you're having doubts about marriage because of what you've read online. I'll explain my point of view, and I hope it helps.

First, understand why you're dissatisfied with your partner. Marriage is personal, and parents' thoughts are for them. Decide what kind of marriage you want.

The essence of marriage is companionship.

The book says that to reduce marital anxiety, you should:

Traditionally, men pursue love and women accept it. In marriage, women give love and men take it.

After marriage, men become more positive, while women become less confident.

Second, you need to change your story about marriage.

Is your self after marriage different from before? Are these two periods of self different, or is your self after marriage just a continuation?

If marriage only changes a small part of you, what changes are you willing to make?

Question 3: Will you talk with your spouse about how you might change after marriage and make a plan together?

Next, express your thoughts and let the other person know your emotional state. Ask yourself if you are confident spending the rest of your life with someone you have only known for a month.

Ideas about marriage are often influenced by parents. If there's a problem with your parents' relationship, try to reconcile with your family. Your parents' business is their business. Live your life well.

I love you!

I love you! ?

Before marriage, we don't know each other well. We just enjoy falling in love and showing our best sides. After marriage, we need to experience the trivialities of life. This causes friction between the two of you.

1. A shotgun marriage is irresponsible. But nowadays, people live fast-paced lives. They marry for love at first sight or to please their parents.

Get to know each other again. Many people marry before they fall in love.

In the old days, people didn't fall in love before getting married.

2. Marriage needs to be managed. It involves the personalities and habits of two people, as well as their different views. They need to work through their differences so they can be comfortable with each other.

Trust and respect are key.

3. Don't try to change the other person. You and your partner are both set in your ways. If you always want to change the other person and demand that they do things your way, you will end up being hurt and resenting each other more and more.

The best way to get someone to change is to accept their weaknesses and bring out your strengths.

This way, there will be no problems. You will be proactive and willing to change for the other person.

I can relate to your concerns, and it sounds like you're going through a really tough time. It's not uncommon to have second thoughts after such a significant life decision. You've mentioned feeling regret and dissatisfaction very early on in the marriage, which can be distressing. It might be helpful to talk to a counselor who can provide professional advice tailored to your situation. Considering all the pressures from family and the changes in your feelings, it's important to understand what you truly want and need for your happiness.

Feeling pressured into marriage can lead to a lot of stress and uncertainty. It seems like you're questioning whether this is the right path for you, and that's okay. Communication with your partner about your feelings could be a critical step. Expressing your concerns and listening to his perspective might help both of you decide if you can work through these issues together or if this relationship isn't what you envisioned for yourself. Remember, it's about finding a solution that respects both of your needs and wellbeing.

Emery Thomas Life is a tapestry of love and loss.

The fear of disappointing your parents and the concern about potential conflicts are valid, but ultimately, you have to consider your own emotional health and satisfaction in the marriage. It's important to reflect on why you feel the way you do and whether these feelings are likely to change over time. Discussing your worries with a trusted friend or a therapist might offer some clarity. If you feel that the marriage is not what you desire, it's okay to think about what steps you need to take for your own peace of mind, even if it means considering a separation.
