Thus far (marriage Q)

Dealing with the inlaws and trying to find a balance to how much of our limited free time we need to spend visiting them!

asking for help and allowing him to do it his way and not mine.

DH likes to do 12 projects at once therefore doing things half azzed which annoys me.

He forgets EVERYTHING - while I am pretty organized. For instance, this morning he calls me while I am on my way into a meeting - he can't find his keys anywhere....turns out he left them in his friends car who lives 30 mins away from us.

And lastly - I had a hard time dealing with the in-laws in the beginning. I think it is really hard to deal with another family and learn how they do things.

DEfinitely sharing money. Next would be meals - it seems since we got married, I am solely responsible for food shopping, preparation and clean up. What's up with that?????????

The first year of married holidays and inlaws...

Dealing with who we see on the holidays. We hate bouncing from my mom to his parents to my dad on holidays and it's so hard to keep everyone happy.

We're planning to travel over Easter and Thanksgiving from now un, until we have kids.

We don't argue about money...the biggest arguements are about his mother. I tell him all the things she says to me and DH gets mad....thus...fighting.

Now that we have Christopher, the hardest aspect is finding time to be together, especially since we never had much time to begin with because of DH's work schedule.

My spending habits vs. his savings
and
Compromising

Money stuff, mostly the fact that I feel bad if I don't run ideas by DH before buying. He does not care but I feel guilty.

Also, just having to put someone first and realizing that my actions now affect two people. Like, when the kitchen is a mess after dinner I feel compelled to clean it, because I would feel bad for DH to have to fix his breakfast in a mess. I can be so lazy sometimes. But DH does a lot around the house too, which I remind myself a lot.

Money and compromising.

My marriage is perfect so I guess I shouldn't answer this question.

Without question I would say communication. It still amazes how poorly we communicate.

money for us for sure
it truly is the root of all evils

Luckily we have no inlaw issues and pretty much live well together.. guess I'm lucky in that regard

When I ask him to do something, don't get me wrong he'll do it but not the way I would like it done

Deciding on buying a house...when...where...how much
