i don't know if you guys will agree...

it is oftentimes our complaint that our husbands aren't that sweet and attentive to us anymore once we were married...

i think one explanation to that is that when we're just going out...guys put their best foot forward at that stage...they give us gifts and spend every free time with us...and they do it to please us...however, more often than not this routine cannot be sustained...

on our part, we are so pleased and form high expectations from them...when they start to lay low, we complain...we get disappointed...

so who's to blame for this?..

was it a mistake for guys to have given us gifts and so much attention???

or should women just take what is given to us and not really have high expectations?..

Well as yuo get married and live together, your responsibilities double..so does your husband's and him being the bread winner have a lot more responsibilities than you do...after some time, routine comes into your married life and you feels it's boring since all the charm has faded away!! but you can conteract that by showing to your hubby how much you loves him and care for him everyday..he'll be distracted from his routine and will give you more attention..

I agree. Your methods of showing him your love can change but still send the same message.

Well, what's wrong is if we expect to recieve gifts. If you love someone, it should not be for the gifts he can give us.

I agree, if we recieve a gift we should be grateful, if we don't we shouldn't feel bad.

I think when you get married you have to learn to deal with responsibilities. Getting a gift once in a while is nice too though.

I think it's both the guys and the girls fault for this problem...

The guy should not show too much attention at first so no one can complain about him giving less attention during marriage. Or if he does his best while dating, he just has to continue doing so during marriage... The girl should be understanding to some extent, on the other hand. And not ask too much either. All is a question of balance..individually and as a couple!

i agree that when you get married the responsibilities double. but the person handling it also becomes double. what difference it makes to the relationship?? does the relationship also change? i dont think so as each partner loves each other just like before marriage. then why shoud things change. before we get married the boyfriend gets very attentive towards you but after marriage everything changes. why??
