Yes they do. Because a couple gets married, doesn't mean the dating (each other) should stop.

I'll tell ya one thing, there's nothing I hate more than double dating with a married couple.
All they want to talk about is how they dated before they got married. And how similar it is to how we're dating. Seriously, if I wanted a romantic history, I would ask for one.
Of course it always makes me think "Is this how it's going to be when we get married???"
But the WORST is when they have kids. I love kids, but I don't want to talk about junior all night. There's just no way to transition politely out of the baby talk.

lol this is funny. And it's always the married couples who haven't been married that long. They're married for like 2-3 years and they talk you like they've been married for 25... 
lol at the junior comment.

I hope that by the time live-in and I get married we'll have been living together for so long that we can quickly transition out of the newlywed phase because I have a feeling behaving like some of our newlywed couple friends would make me barf on a daily basis.
OMG did I just use barf in 2009? RIGHT ON!

I'm married as well, so I can't answer the questions personally, but from talking to my friends it doesn't sound like things are terribly different. A few couples (mostly in the financial and legal industries) have put off taking trips this coming summer or have cut back on expensive nights out, and are re-routing the money to their savings accounts in case their jobs are cut.
|
I'm married, but we still go out quite a bit. As far as cutting back, God.. lately, no.

You've got to start hanging out with different married couples. We're not all that bad, I swear, haha.
As for the question - I don't think my wife and I have really cut back, although, with me in law school, we were never exactly throwing money around anyway.

Maybe I do. I suppose if live-in and I are leaving both thinking "I never want to act like them" we need to stop hanging out with them, lol.
Probably even worse than giving us their whole dating history is giving us their whole dating history when one of us was THERE for it. "Oh you mean you had a fight during your senior year of college? Yeah you know your wife wanted to break up with you so she slept with another guy after that fight?" I would never say that but MAN I wish I could without getting slapped.
Or "we don't feel like we've changed since getting married." ("Yes, yes you have. Now you're really annoying.") "So when are you guys going to take the plunge?" (Never if we end up like you assholes.")
Wow... I never realized I had so much animosity toward my married friends.
Geez - GreekChat is going to ruin all my friendships because I realize I can't stand them!

Im not a fan of their food anymore either! I think I officially just grew up. 
Rule of dating: whoever asks, pays. Still applies for long term daters.

You know what...if this recession is as deep as some people claim, then the women who always fuss and complain about not being able to find 'a good man' are gonna find themselves a bit shorter. Then what....he's good for a lot of things but he is out of work...what do you do?...hehehe
