I have seen a lot of
people complain that friends are lost once they are married. Seldom do they know the other point of view! i know i haven't been myself lately and this post was a must.. For all of you out there finding it difficult to squeeze yourself into your old clothes, old relationships and old you!
1. Your waistline
increases like never before
You have a day off
and you have planned for a romantic leisure time with your partner. He/she has
made a special request to wear something from the days you were dating. After
two hours of rigorous search and being almost breathless, you find that one piece
of clothing he/she loves the most. You try it on (or try to try it on) and
apart from feeling squeezed to death.. This piece of clothing is way smaller! Ahh..
so much for the diet conscious you! Now you just have heaps of clothes that you
know you love.. but they don't fit! (gone are the hours spent in carefully
choosing each one of them!) +Vivek Poomagame +Shafeeque NK
2. Your friends
are no where to be seen (except in your wedding pic)
You have nothing to do
at work and your partner is so much held up! (its always the same isn’t it?)
Well.. you browse
through your phone book and you seem to wonder where all the people in your
contact list are! You find one person you claimed to be your BFF before losing
touch. you call them and all you can hear is a person speaking in hush (As if
choking to death). Apparently they are in a meeting and they shall "call
you back later". You can hear the beep of disconnected call and all you
are left with is a call summary pop at your phone and no one else to talk to. +Suraksha Sagar +Deepak Ramachandra +gautham g
3. Facebook status
Well.. you check your
profile out once in a while (which is almost everyday) to see how it looks
like, and every time you see your marital status as "married" you are
drawn to the time it was "single".. then "in a relationship"
then to "complicated" finally back to "single" again before
it directly had a great leap to a status of "married" and you are
still shocked because your time line has saved every date to make you
realize your heartaches all over again! +Praful Das
4. Conversations
You might be a chit
chat expert during your prime (which you still are in) but your conversations
usually don’t last more than a couple of minutes now (except if you are wanted
to give gyan sessions to your juniors!) You seem to notice
than you don’t have much left to be said except for "hmm.. yeah"..
"okkkkk".. "what else" or "will call you later"
stuffs. +G. Harshini Lakshmi +Prathap V P
5. Time spent on internet
5. Time spent on internet
There was a time when
you could spend all your leisure at the internet cafe paying heftily by the end
of the session while now all you can think of is to browse about "what to
do when you are bored".. or "how to save your relationship" and
the most obvious are the job sites where you try to find something that might
interest you but at the end of the day you know you are gonna end up in the
same job you are in now.
6. Attending
ceremonies (Almost always!)
Earlier, you would be
busy attending a wedding of person you didn't even know by name but just as
your friends niece or much simpler- your friend's aunts son/daughter but now? You
are writing your own invitations out to people inviting them to your kids
naming ceremony or even their marriage! +pooja kothari +Keshava Prasanna M S
7. Giggles and PJs
You are in the local
transport and a group of college kids have some "serious"
conversation going on. While you are uninterested in their convos, a
familiar yet long forgotten high pitch tone draws your attention. Its the
Giggle and they are trying to suppress it(which was not successful). They have
a chain of "jokes" that you could not laugh about (just roll your
eyes) but you know you have been there in the same position long time ago +Divya Kaundinya
8. Your lookout target
You are with your partner in a mall walking hand in hand* (*depending on the years since you are married). There is another couple coming from the opposite side and you realize you have been staring at the same gender (don't panic.. Its pretty normal.. or so do they say!). For all the singles out there who are wondering why (with some pretty extreme imaginations).. its simply because we are comparing ourselves (finally ending with.. "I'm prettier/Handsome")
