When real life kicks in?

When the honeymoon is over, the car breaks down and the neighbors are blaring their music at 2am ... but you still have someone special to share your Rice Krispies with.

Hmmm - interseting question :)

For a woman, I think its when you go change your name officially for your Social Security card.

Or the first time you set up a joint account with both names and have to sign your new "name" :)

Good question! It depends on different factors.

I moved when I got married, so I started feeling married maybe a little sooner than others since I was no longer in my same area with all my "single" environments, social circle, etc.

I think I probably really started feeling married a week or two after the honeymoon.

I can imagine! When were you married? When did he leave? When is he coming back?

Yeah, I'd feel single longer if my husband had been called away!

I meant the literal honeymoon, but I know what you mean too.

Aw, Sharon, I'm sorry you're having a rough night. I can imagine it would be pretty tough to feel married under your circumstances.

We got married on August 23. On our way home from the honeymoon on the 31st, he got the call that his unit was being activated. He had to report at 7 am on the 2nd. The initial order was for his unit to help out with Gustav. However, they seem to have it all under control down there since the storm was not nearly as bad as they thought it might be. However, Ike seems to be eyeing the gulf coast and florida now. So, they are on standby in LA until they see what happens with Hanna, Ike and Josephine.

All that to say...nobody knows when he will be back.

I can totally see why you don't feel married. You haven't really begun your married life yet!

Hey, Sharon. My husband and I got married on that date 33 years ago. The honeymoon is over but everything changes and if you are the Lord's, it changes for the better. That's not to say it is easy. It definitely is not easy. But even after 33 years, I still hate it when he is away. . . maybe the honeymoon isn't over afterall???

It's only been 2.5 months for us now. The first few times I signed my new name I guess I felt married... but even still it doesn't seem real yet! Or when we stayed at his parents house and we were allowed to sleep in the same room, lol!

Been married just over 5 months here, and I don't think I feel 100% married yet. It still sounds weird to be referred to as "wife." It will blow my mind the first time someone calls me "Mrs. ____"!! And yeah, when we visit my parents next week, it will seem VERY strange to be sleeping with DH in the guest room at their house where I've slept so many times as a single gal.

I think it took me about 4 months, so about 30 days after we were finally living together. Gotta love the military

I started feeling married on the honeymoon. My husband was so enamored with our new status that he used any and every opportunity to refer to me as "my wife". I loved that.

I can see why it would be more difficult to "feel" that the transition was real if your husband wasn't physically with you. Hope he can come home soon!

I felt it right away. We had a two week honeymoon, and about that entire time, we called each other Mr. and Mrs. McDuffie. The only thing we had a hard time with at first was sleeping in the same bed after sleeping on your own for so long. It wasn't until we got home from the honeymoon and settled into our bed that we were actually able to sleep all the way through the night without waking each other up.

Mine was pretty quick as I moved from my parents house to his, and out of town from all my friends.

My wonderful DH deployed out of the country about 4 weeks after we got married in 2003 .... so I understand how hard it is to have him gone.

I felt married to him as soon as we got engaged ... but I'm just weird. (grin)

Hey Sharon! (((((Sharon)))))) I feel for you girl. Hang in there. You know I'm here for ya.

Just got married myself on August 30th and I have to say that it felt different as soon as we said I do. Can't explain it really but the way we communicate is on a higher level already. I am sure though that once I do the name change and adjust our bank accounts it will feel quite neat.

Quite honestly the very fact we consummated sexually makes me feel married. It's the first time for the both of us so it definitely feels like a major transition has occurred. Please know that I am not putting down anyone who has had sex before marriage. I am simply stating how it feels for me. :)
