Spouses that used to be friendly but aren't once married

    I just noticed this recently. Im at the age where several mates have gotten married in the last while.

    Anyway their girlfriends ( now wives ) used to be really friendly and outgoing to me and other friends when they first started going out.
    Then as the relationship goes on they were less friendly.
    And after marriage when I am around their houses all I get is a sharp look around the door frame and a very quick 'Howya doing'.

    Had I known that would happen I wouldve just bought my mate some football tickets for his wedding pressie rather than the ghey crystal:D

    Its nearly like once the ring is on its job done and I don't want anything to do with your mates.Anyone else notice this?

    The ' Howya ' around the kitchen door with a sour look on her face is to let you know ' the honeymoon period is over ' :(

    The draconian wife is largely a myth.

    Your mates are loved up and are blaming it on the wife so they can keep you on board for bi-annual nights out and facebook usage, but nothing more.

    She was probably planning to jump his bones and then you turn up.
    /kinda spoils the mood a tad..:D

    She just realiss she can't have you anymore and is keeping a safe distance. Cruel to be kind. Suck it up and fell her pain.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    the leading up to getting married is a front.

    she has to endure this until she gets to the church put up with your friends pretend she likes football etc once the big day is over your basically face to face with the real her for the first time ever.

    Frightening and terrifying prospect.

    never ever get married.

    Stop showing up drunk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Its not them, its you. Sorry to have to break it to you.

    I suggest you get maried.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    She probably just wants herself and the husband to socialise only with other married couples... some people are weird like that.

    that way she can keep an eye on him while out.

    if she can get rid of all the single guys he won't be able to spend saturday in the pub watching the match or go on any lads weekends away etc.

    They skillfully just f*cking ruin you.

    Ah c'mon ntlbell. Getting your haircut at a barber you've never been before is frightening and terrifying. Wearing a new shirt into town that you think your mates might mock and make fun of is frightening and terrifying. Spending time with the lady you have chosen to be with forever more should be the exact opposite of this.

    Solution: Marry her sister, move in next door, open all windows and ride the arse off her

    This is the point they're not the lady you have chosen to be with forever.

    There's a new stranger crazed wedding ring wearing mad woman in the kitchen

    Scary and Terrifying.

    making babies is work.

    I think they were referring to party time fun and dirty sex

    not get to work sex

    Marraige is a miserable lie to me. If you love someone and want to spend your life with them, you don't need to get married! You're doing that anyway!

    All you lads must have terrible inbuilt quality control. The period between meeting a girl and marrying her can and often is anything up to five years. If you can't figure out her flaws and the stuff you don't like about her within such a timeframe then you deserve all you get. Pighead could be living with the greatest actress of all time and he'd still be able to figure out if she was a bitch or not.

    It's all about the quality control. You lads probably buy electrical appliances with wires sticking out the sides and rust on its coverings and give out to the high heavens when they don't work. Amateurs!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Quality over Quantity any day .If she's Quality ,your laughing .

    If she put's out every other day and your not enjoying it ( Quantity)

    there's something fcuking wrong with ya .

    Solution: Marry her sister, move in next door, open all windows and ride the arse off the both of them

    FYP! :pac:

    Did you not have an inkling pre marriage as to what kind of person they were. It's impossible for a womn to maintain a charade of lightness and joy throughout the entire courting period. Alcohol especially will bring out the truth at some stage.

    Have you ever been? If not, then how can you be so sure that this magical instant transformation occurs the instant the girl gets married?

    No, Never married.

    It's called observing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,229 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Women don't like their husband's friends, or even the husband after they've had a child.

    After that trauma, they're only happy when they're amongst their traumatised baby-producing pals talking about scars, sh1t, vomit, piss and their evil bastard husbands.

    She probably hasn't seen much of her dream boat all week and wants him all to herself

    OR, most likely,

    She has a shed load of jobs for her man to do and doesn't want him skiving off with you for the day. Doubt she'd get the whip out in front of you, but you can be sure it's being cracked ;)

    I already talk about 4 out of 5 of those with my mates at the end of a weekend. If the lads can brag about the madness of the night before, surely the women can show them some friendly banter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Maybe OP if you stopped wiping your snot on their curtains, stopped farting on their furniture and stopped bringing over copies of Barely Legal when you visit for Sunday dinner she'd give you a more friendly face when you show up half-drunk, unwashed and escorted by Gardai.

    Just a thought.

    Reminds me of a certain Black Books episode... :cool:

    You're not allowed to have any friends, and the only friendly banter you'll get is when your services are required by the Mrs when her body-clock tells her that it's time to get knocked up again. After you've done your bit for the human race, you're shoved away right at the back of the queue again. :(

    I now know what I'll do in life. My girlfriend.

    It could be worse though
    Could be the ones listening to them giving out to their baby-producing pals about scars, sh1t, vomit, piss and their evil bastard husbands.
    If you didnt want all that blame Eve. Stupid b!tch ate the apple 1st.
    IF IT WASNT FOR HER WE'D ALL BE NEKKID!!!:pac:

    True, I rather not get married, but it comes with a lot of benifits. If me and my girlfriend were to get married (we more than likely will) it will be for this, also to make some of our backward family members happy :) Kids out of wedlock? We would burn in hell... :P

    Anyway, I can think of worse things, like aids... Aids is bad... very bad.
