Neither did my first period or having sex for the first time. In fact illness and its consequences are the only things that have had that effect on me. Maybe I'm not thinking about the other stuff enough!carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351483253361159121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392075129624872794.post-83936097396971210752009-04-01T19:16:00.000+01:002009-04-01T19:16:00.000+01:00Great thoughtful post...Great thoughtful post...Marie-Èvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174894872050076618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392075129624872794.post-16202075682751519652009-04-01T16:44:00.000+01:002009-04-01T16:44:00.000+01:00Lovely post.

I especially liked the bit about periods and virginity... made me realise why marriage and pregnancy feel so different to all the other stuff... they're more <I>us</I>, not our success.<BR/><BR/>Ooh you might just have inspired a post... off to try for a little writing session!Cate Subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371172824707301749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392075129624872794.post-86623641159620787782009-04-01T15:09:00.000+01:002009-04-01T15:09:00.000+01:00I know exactly what you mean, I don't feel like my...I know exactly what you mean, I don't feel like my academic/work acheivements really defined me the same way as the relationships/personal things do. They never brought on the thoughts about my identity. I've been married before, it's very strange to get to be "wife" and then go back from it as well. This time I'm taking his name too and that is a strange feeling becoming Mrs M. Very strange!Rosaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294864366284434807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392075129624872794.post-60423595371932914362009-04-01T15:00:00.000+01:002009-04-01T15:00:00.000+01:00I've been thinking about that, too.

I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet, but I am sure I want to marry DJ. I'll get there, though.

Partly because some people will see you as a wife and will behave differently and partly because you may feel some wifely obligations. I know I do sometimes. And the level of expectation as well, will J be with you at Easter, when are you visiting parents, etc etc <BR/><BR/>But I think you and M sound so well matched that the change will only be a good one. And like you said he will be working with you too. And hopefully working at becoming a husband :) I wonder how that feels... Or if it does feel different at all? <BR/><BR/>Oh now you've got me thinking!! Thanks. xMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034963362014160492noreply@blogger.com
