Quite. Though when people ask you the same questions all the time I think that's when it starts to get a bit old... not necessarily the "How's married life?" because that is just conversational and non-nosy.

But the kids??? questions when people have no idea what is going on ie. TTC issues or infertility or heaven forbid, not wanting any - I find those too personal for people that haven't got anything better to ask me/nothing in common with me/not a close relationship to me to be asking! Lol.

4 days into marriage and I'm getting the "How is marriage" question. 4 days!   It's still so fresh and so surreal!! How do anyone expect me to actually answer that now! Ask me this annoying question in a few months when I might be able to answer!

To the genuinely interested parties, I tell them it's learning curve that I'm enjoying.

To the one that asks repeatedly I've started telling her that we got divorced - yes - dead pan face and flat voice.  It only took 4 times for her to stop asking.  

To the ones that ask about kids - we already have 2 - our boy Pipsqueak is almost 9 and out girl Snorkle-Gummy-Bear is 12 1/2. (they're so precious about their ages at this age, arn't they?)    

To the older family members that are nagging about kids - they get reminded about the 2 human ones my sister has - and my two furry ones - with a "I'm insulted you don't count them!"   (my mum buys xmas presents for them...)

To anyone that has no real need to know that I 'shouldn't' - I say "ick!" until they get get teh idea... (although, I'm happy to babysit, I like being able to give them back)

This is all so true!

I got asked how married life is and I honestly didn't know what to say, so I probably looked like I thought it wasn't that good! But it's just the same as before really - good!

And re the kids - I am already getting asked when we're having kids. I've been married for 1 month and I'm 26. Honestly people!

I really really want Mrs W to answer this!!! ;P

=) I just say, "It's great, thanks!"
I have a few other responses:

"It's different! But I'm loving it."
"It's a learning curve, but I'm loving it!"


I think I should say stuff like, "Oh, man. The s3x is just great!!!" That'd throw people off! (I get asked it at least five times a day.... Lol.)

Though, one of my good work friends always asks how the s3x is going. Lol. Oh dear. I'm a blushing kinda girl. Lol. So I always turn bright red, when she asks.

My total honest forum answer?

I love being with DH when we fall asleep, and waking up together. I love not going elsewhere at night. I love being able to play that game.

We both need our own space, and we have settled into that together, allowing one another to have a small amount of space hwne needed.

DH is becoming tolerant of my erratic cleaning habits. I don't like cleaning, but I do it at unusual times. Like, as soon as I walk in the door from a busy day. I still find DH's post-teen eating habits amusing. (He eats like crazy, but can go a day without eating, no sweat.)

I love knowing that every evening it's the two of us, and that's special!

I sometimes feel a little gutted that we didn't have a honeymoon, but the times we share are far more important than the fact of a honeymoon or not. =) We're planning a honeymoon when I finish studying in three years. (We'll wait until the year following, to have a proper career income!) And we'll make it a fantastic time. It'll be fantastic. (We may be able to put some buns in the oven. Oooh, wouldn't twins be nice???)

I love being able to go out as husband and wife!!!! =)

I got asked this today - i said:-
pretty much the same except i now have an extra diamond ring and i'm constantly having to spell out my last name haha
