Does marriage change things?

Question for you ladies that lived with your SO, before turning him into your DH.

Did it change your relationship with the skids? the BM? other family members? Your own relationship with your DH?

My FDH and I have lived together for just over 2 years. We were "friends" for about 10 months before that. We are getting married next year. The skids (SD12 and SD10)seem excited about the wedding, but some of the posts on here are making me apprehensive. Some of you say your relationships changed after the wedding.

My question is simply - Why? What happened?

It figures

Great! No skids this weekend, and of course FDH is away with "the boys" for the weekend.

Not that I expect him to choose a weekend he has his kids, but it does kinda suck.

Anyways, just wanted to vent a bit.

I finally told him that if he plans on playing poker with his buddies this winter, he can pick the odd weekend that he has the kids - it doesn't always have to be on "our" weekend, and he actually agreed! Well, we'll see how that goes.

They're good kids - why don't I enjoy them?

Well, the skids will be at home when I get off of work today. I am dreading it, although they are decent kids. I guess it's just the outsider feeling I always get when I walk into my home and they're visiting. I don't really know what to do with myself, and I know my SO is torn between wanting to spend his time with his kids, and trying to make me happy as well. In some ways I think he has it harder!
