Everyone says that year 1 is hard. It was a breeze for us. Year two has proven to be sort of difficult.
What about you?
-
Year 1. Oy.
-
So far so good. We're approaching our 2nd year anniversary.
-
I would say the second b/c we had P at the beginning of it & things did NOT go well in the 3 months following her birth... so bad that it greatly affected the rest of the year even after the initial issue was rectified.
So far, year 3 has been easier for us, even with our recent loss.
-
We have only been married for 2 years, but I think that year 1 was definitely harder for us. We have had some tough issues come up in year 2, but I think if you look at just our marriage, year 2 was easier.
-
We had some major challenges thrown our way the first six months we were married.
Year 3.5/4was difficult, too, but for unrelated reasons.
-
@Rubies: Lots of people say that year 1 is definitely the hardest! you are not alone!
-
Our 5th year of dating was the worst, we dated for 7 before getting married. Marriage has been a breeze - 3 years in October.
-
1st 6 months was tough, but the hardest was year 3 when we had DD and i had to go back to work. Yikes, talk about testing the marriage...
-
@MarieJ: We're in year 3.5 and I am SO glad for it! Year 1 was a huge transition.
-
Year one was a breeze for us. I think year 4 was the biggest challenge so far, but that was also year 7 of our relationship, so I don't know if it was the 7 year thing coming into play rather than something special about year 4.
I also think having a 3 year old is incredibly challenging and that may have had something to do with it.
-
Our issues stem from DH not being able to adjust his priorities, so to say. It drives me crazy!
-
Year 2. We aren't exactly on the same page when it comes to parenting, and my ILs influence him FAR too much.
-
They've all had their challenges, but no year harder than another. Our first year was tough because we were TTC and it took longer than we thought. Over a year of trying and a miscarriage definitely strained things from time to time.
This past year was hard because we had just had E and dealing with a baby who wouldn't sleep on his own and was pretty much only happy if he was on the boob. I had to work at not being resentful of DH.
Our third anniversary is in a couple of weeks, and we're in a good place.
-
1st was hard...we were parents 6 months after saying I do!
-
We lived together for three years before we got married, so year 1 of marriage was life as normal!
The hardest year for us has been this first year with a baby (so year 3 of marriage). But I'm assuming that's to be expected.
-
Year 3.
-
This year! Having a baby has been by far the biggest adjustment and caused the most fights. We are getting over our rough spots though, and I think we are stronger because of it!
-
We just past 7 year dating anniversary and Wednesday is 3 years of marriage. I haven't noticed any super difficult ones (yet). But it's also still just the two of us...
-
Year 3. The year we had our first child! It really changed our lives both good and bad!
-
Our 7th year of dating was really tough, we really had to work through it. We dated for 11 years - high school sweethearts. We've been married 2.5 years and its all been pretty great
-
We've been married 8 years.... I think the first 5 breezed by pretty quickly. We are still going strong, but maybe the 6th year was the hardest?
-
Year 2 of marriage (which was year 5 for our relationship). I went to working night shift, we had a MC- we were just on completely different pages.
-
year 2, it wasn't that it was super hard/difficult, it was just hard adjusted to having a newborn(he was born 26 days before our 1st anniversary)
-
The first year after LO was born, so most of year #4. The years before were an absolute breeze compared to that one. It was not an easy adjustment.
-
It's been all the same so far.. married for just over a year but together for almost 10.
-
Year 3, adjusting to being parents and no time for ourselves.
-
Years 3/4 and 7 have been the toughest so far!
-
1st year was easy. We were still LD and loving it. Midway through year two we moved intogether. The only reason this year was somewhat difficult is because DH had a hard time adjusting to his new location and work environment.
-
Hard to say because I think that theory comes from combining finances and moving in together. And honestly we're very compatible living together and finance wise so that was never an issue for us. I would say our hardest years were year 5 when I moved back home after college and year 12 which was the year after baby was born.
-
Each had had its hard points. Year one- dad had stage 4 cancer, year two dad passed away, year three both of us were in grad school and we had a m/c. The fourth year isn't over quite yet but so far it has been easier.
-
We have been married for 6 years and, I'll be honest, year 5-6 has been the toughest by far. In addition to having the baby, we have encountered a few issues that have made things that much harder.
-
WE've been married 2 1/2 years, the first has been the hardest so far, I would say so far this year has been the best!
-
So far the first year has been the hardest, I went through the whole crazy emotional preggo lady thing and it took its toll but still, the first year was a breeze compared to before marriage!
-
I'm on year 7 of marriage .. so far year 6 was the hardest but I think it's related to having a toddler and a pre-schooler.
-
Year 5 of marriage (7 years together total) has been the most challenging. The first year of marriage was generally smooth sailing and the first year with a kid was pretty survivable. That second year with a kid and trying to get back to us has been the most challenging.
-
We're finishing up year 2 of marriage now. So far so good. They've been pretty similar to when we were dating.
-
Year 2, which is when we found out about our IF issues.
-
It's amazing how the quality of our marriage ends up being affected by fertility/pregnancy/parenthood.
-
Year 1 was great! We've been married 4 years and so far so good. *Knock on wood*.
