  • First three months of marriage

    I celebrated my three month wedding anniversary this week and we've had the following happen in that time:

    - moved house
    - both started new jobs
    - moved house
    - broken down on the Severn Bridge
    - incurred car repairs of £1000
    - bought new car, as the old one was still not repaired
    - my dad has been in hospital with unknown illness and been off work for 6 weeks
    - found out I'm being made redundant from my new job
    - OH has spent the last week off work with stress
    - and presently my mum is in the hospital with stomach pains and I am whiling away the time whilst I get an update.

    I think that's it. I know there are a lot of people much worse off than me, but its been one thing on top of the other. I suppose if we can survive all this at once then we should be able to survive anything.

    The OH thinks we used up our good luck allowance in meeting each other!

    Rant over!

    Fingers crossed for you. Sometimes life is like that, and they say Marriage is a test. I hope everything settles down soon, for you and your family, and next time you see the Sh*t Fairy, send her away with a flea in her ear!

                  It sounds as though you've really been through it Jojo but at least you've had each other to lean on, hope things pick up for you & that your family are all over the worst soon.

                    To go through all these problems together should help you feel closer to each other- it's nice to know there is someone next to you when you need support.
                    Your marriage should be all the stronger for it

                    Pity it all had to happen all at once though

                    It certainly helps you realise the other persons 'weak spots' and how you can support them now and in the future.
                    Consider it all to be a 'team building' exercise

                    ...hope all gets back to normal for you and everyone soon

                      Thank you one and all. We've both had the week off to get us back on track. It looks like my dad had a stroke, but seems fine on it and my mum is just tired from last weekend in hospital. I'm also waiting for a telephone interview this afternoon, which if I got through this and the next interview would be perfect.

                      I am hoping things will start picking up, but I am waiting for the weekend to be over with as everything has happened on a weekend!

                        The reason you two decided to share your lives was to support in the bad times and rejoice in the good together.
                        We have been married for 54 years and it has not always been plain sailing. I always tried to remember that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I was never prepared to take the chance and am so very very glad I didn't. If you care for him and he cares for you "You will overcome"

                              Me and my hubbie have been through some really tough times, financial, illness, family stuff but have come out the other end.
                              The fact that you are still there together dispite all the rotten stuff that has happened is testiment to you both.
                              Just keep remembering why you made the commitment to each other and allow the other person to rant if they need to and be there with hugs when needed to and you will get through it together.
                              You will come out the other end closer and better for it. Take care and I hope something good happens soon.
