Boys vs. Girls

#ThingsILearnedAfterIGotMarried

When I got married I thought I knew everything about relationships because, well, heck I was getting married. I thought I had succeeded in life!

Little did I know…

Marriage can be tough! Every minute is worth it, and I have learned so much these first 6 months of being a newlywed.

So I asked a bunch of newlywed-ish friends what they've learned, and here is what I found out.

Girls

For me personally? Oh, I really DON'T know how to express my feelings. I thought I was a pimp in terms of expressing my feelings, but boy was I wrong. I have to really explain my side of each story in detail so I am completely understood.

I've learned how to forgive and let go of things faster.

Guys can compartmentalize, when girls can't. I'm always thinking about my husband and work and vice versa. I can't separate the two, when my husband can. It's so frustrating.

I've learned that if I want a clean bathroom, I have to scrub pee off the walls.

Boys

Girls are good at…. thinking. I just don't get it.

I have a nothing box. I just like to sit and think… about absolutely nothing. I love watching TV!

Women don't take the 'splash factor' into consideration. Even though I'm a pro at aiming into the toilet, I have to lift up the toilet seat because you just never know. All the yellow spots on the floor and wall are the 'splash', not my actual, *ahem* whiz.

And lastly… (this one takes the cake)

I never though putting down the toilet seat would be such a chore! My wife yells at me every time she almost falls in the toilet.

Conclusion

Boys don't get enough credit when it comes to bathroom *things* and women just like to think ALL THE TIME. Life's tough being a girl.

Have you learned anything after you got married/got into a relationship? I would love to hear your stories! :)
