10 suposiciones sobre los recién casados que son totalmente falsas (excepto una)

¿Sabes qué es lo peor cuando te casas? La presión.

Todo el mundo tiene unas expectativas y unas suposiciones que debes seguir ciegamente like there’s only one right way of living.

El momento en que mi marido y yo dijimos “yes” en el altar, la gente empezó a fastidiarnos. Fue lo más molesto de mi vida. Creo que es una experiencia universal para todos los recién casados. Y todos lo odiamos.

Why are people so stuck on one way of doing things? I’ve always wondered about that. Is it because las películas siempre retratan esta experiencia universal de casarse and how things should be going? Or because that’s what they expect from us?

Sorry to disappoint you but things aren’t exactly the same as they once were. Also, people are free to live how they want. Imagine that!

He aquí algunas de las suposiciones más comunes (y molestas) que suele tener la gente. Empezar fuerte con:

1. Pasamos directamente del altar a nuestra luna de miel.

En realidad, ¡todavía estamos lejos de nuestras vacaciones soñadas! La realidad es un poco diferente, por desgracia, y cruel. 

Remember the laws in the USA? No paid vacation…yeah. We spent tons of money on our wedding and necesitamos tiempo para recomponernos antes de ir a ninguna parte. 

Also, planning a wedding and honeymoon at the same time is quite exhausting! It’s just a lot to do and we already had a couple of pretty chaotic months. So for now on, our honeymoon is still on hold, but we can’t wait to travel! 

2. We’re so busy in bed, we don’t even leave the bedroom!

Si alguien esperara hasta el matrimonio, entonces esto podría ser cierto, pero incluso entonces la gente necesita tiempo para adaptarse y explorar las cosas.

La mayoría de nosotros ya teníamos algo de acción o incluso vivíamos juntos. Being married didn’t magically change our rutina de dormitorio.

Of course, we have a more serious sense of commitment now but our worlds didn’t turn upside down just because we got a paper saying we’re official! 

3. Nuestra casa se convirtió en una pequeña fábrica de seres humanos.

I don’t know what it is about people asking newlyweds about having kids as soon as they get married. Firstly, it’s an insanely inappropriate and awkward thing to ask, and secondly, that’s not your business!

Algunas parejas pueden decidir que quieren que doble ingreso, sin hijos vida, which is perfectly fine by the way and we shouldn’t judge it! Others may really want babies but can’t have them for some reason and this question can only be hurtful. 

Y entonces hay gente que quiere tener hijos, pero no de inmediato. Whatever the case, please for the love of God, never ask newlyweds if they’re preparing for a new addition to the family.

4. Goodbye city life, we’re moving to the suburbs!

Entiendo por qué la gente asume esto, pero no todo el mundo odia la vida en la ciudad. Las nuevas generaciones de a los jóvenes les gusta vivir en una gran ciudad donde todo está disponible con un chasquido de dedos.

You’re craving pizza at 2 am? No problem, delivery will be there in seconds! You need something quickly from the store? There’s one around the corner! It’s simply more convenient y la gran ciudad ofrece numerosas oportunidades que queremos aprovechar.

However, maybe we’ll appreciate the peace of the suburbs and the big green yard in front of the house when we get older. But for now, we’re staying where we are!

5. We pity the people who still haven’t tied the knot!

I mean we’re feeling pretty good and happy about being married. However, we don’t think we instantly became better than everyone else. 

Some people might not be married and living better lives than us. They probably don’t argue about things like who forgot to buy toilet paper this time.

Seguimos respetando a todo el mundo por igual. Pensar que nos consideramos superiores solo porque nos hemos casado es una tontería y, desde luego, no es cierto.

6. ¡La esposa debe estar encantada con su nuevo apellido!

¡Oh, el viejo patriarcado! Sí, los tiempos son definitivamente diferentes ahora, tía Brenda.

Don’t get me wrong. We don’t have anything against women who choose to have their husband’s last name or couples who get a completely new one, but like I said, everyone’s different. 

If that’s what you like, then go for it! A algunos nos gustan mucho nuestros apellidos y queremos conservarlos. Además, así nos evitamos tanto papeleo aburrido y el engorro de tener que actualizar todos nuestros documentos personales.

7. Básicamente, ¡nos convertimos en la misma persona!

I’ll probably never convince my husband to go to opera with me. He’ll probably never convince me to watch war or sci-fi movies. And guess what? We’re still happily married!

Being married doesn’t mean you suddenly have the same interests and hobbies y desechar tu vieja personalidad.

I mean sure, we have some things in common, that’s why we got married in the first place but we’re far away from morphing into one person.

8. We’re glued to each other all the time!

Sí, definitivamente ahora venimos en un paquete. Cuando quieras salir con uno de nosotros, tendrás a los dos, ¡lo siento! Por favor, sé realista. Esto es una tontería.

Seguimos teniendo vidas separadas. Don’t think I can’t go on a brunch with you just because my husband’s out of town. Actually, please call me, I’m bored in the house!

Marriage is all about finding a balance between spending time together and having some time apart. If we were together 24/7 we wouldn’t have a chance to ever miss each other, right?

9. Things are so much different now that we’re married!

A los pocos días de mi boda, la gente empezó a preguntarme: ”So, what’s it like?”esperando que les cuente alguna historia loca sobre cómo nuestras vidas cambiaron drásticamente.

When I say that everything’s pretty much the same, I always disappoint them with that answer. I’m not sure what could possibly change, apart from magically finding my husband’s dirty socks everywhere except in the laundry basket.

Oh yeah, we also got a ton of kitchen appliances as wedding gifts and we’re trying to figure out how to use them!

10. Since storks are not coming yet, we’re adopting a pet!

People often assume that there’s simply no way we can live on our own and be happy. If we’re not transforming our home into a tiny human factory, we will get ourselves something a bit easier to keep alive, like a pet!

Okay, I’m not going to lie and say probablemente sea cierto I mean, I don’t have to go through torture for 9 months, pets are always there for cuddles (not cats though) and my husband and I don’t need to argue about who’ll change the diapers this time. 

So yeah, we’re definitely getting a pet. 

There you have it. A free manual of things you shouldn’t assume about newlyweds or ask them. Let’s avoid awkward moments and leave stereotypical opinions behind us once and for all!
