My wife doesn't ask me to sacrifice the things I enjoy at all, but that doesn't mean there isn't some price somewhere attached.

For me things got a bit easier when I accepted it was work and that things are rarely 50 / 50...sometimes it's 80 / 20, sometimes it's 40 / 60...and sometimes it is actually 50 / 50, and all that is ok. The biggest mistake someone can make is thinking year 1 of marriage is bliss, because it isn't.

Why is year one of marriage different than year 4 or 5 of going out? Why does it get reset to square one?
