What is the best and worst thing you had to adapt to in your marriage, partnership or relationship?

For me personally marriage was a blessing, it calmed me down a great deal, my friends have all labelled me as "erratic" and "compulsive" in the past, sometimes aggressive and they were right, if I knew then what I know now I could have saved myself alot of heartache, anger and frustration.

I also had a great liking for alcohol which basically died down when my son was born and I became accustomed to the routines that marriage involves.

On the negative side, I personally feel "dull" at times, my sense of adventure has definitely died down and in general I have become one of those guys who likes to stay at home and venture out as little as possible.

Other than that, I enjoy marriage, the monogamy is difficult at times, but I have so far been faithful, but I'm sure monogamy is a concept most men struggle to follow, I'm not alone.

Wow tough one to answer, Porg. The relationship between my partner and me is still very young and we still have a lot to explore.

Best: There are a lot of good things I'm adapting to. Probably the idea that such a heavenly being would love me.

Worst: The fact that there is, for now, a very B I G ocean between us.

That my husband was an outdoor man. Always doing sport that i was not really keen on. Hang-gliding, Paddle-skiing, horse-riding . I often sat on the beaches for ages waiting for him and now it is Hang-gliding given up sitting on the hills waiting for him i stay at home and do Q&A or read a book. He is also very quiet and i am a yacker had to get used to the fact that he is not always listening to me. The best thing, is he loves me.

The best did not need adaptation: his gentleness and consideration and his love of food.

The worst: his family, a bunch of alcoholics in differing degrees and their ever present stance that my husband should have married a german.

The best thing - trust.

The most difficult - language. My wife is German, and very often, things just don't come out right. Although I do speak German, the family language is English, and the two cultures often create mild, or sometimes less mild, friction.

Well the best thing is being with some one so long they know everything you want (sexualy). The worst would have to be getting use to all there little annoying habbits

I had to adapt to my husband's big family. He has 6 brothers and sisters and all their kids and grandkids. It was good though. Also being raised very modest, my husband taught me to be proud of my body and loosen up and try new things. That was good too!

Best: a provider who takes care of me

Worst: Snoring.......my husband snores something terrible, like a bear with terrible sinus problems that is being strangled.

Understanding and tolerance... how that works as bad and good I dont know, I am a male in a marriage, everything is good....

Best - Patience

Worst - Trust (I lost it after I was cheated on)
