He's a far less picky eater (he's the one to suggest sushi or Thai). When we met, he'd never flown in a plane, now he's a seasoned business traveler. He usually dresses nicer than I do!</p> <p>I agree @mae ... my SO was 20 and is now 30. I'd be surprised if he hadn't changed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242352 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:52:04 +0000 Mae 1242352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my husband has grown up a lot and gained a lot more confidence in himself. He's way more responsible with money now, less insecure about his looks, and just generally more at-ease in his skin I think. </p> <p>I think a lot of this probably has to do with WHEN we met our SOs though! I met my husband a week before he turned 22 and he's 28 now… those are big "becoming an adult" years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242341 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:49:43 +0000 Bookish 1242341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's changed a lot! He never traveled before meeting me, and now he's willing to go on a plane, in a taxi, on a monorail... all sorts of things he was scared to do! </p> <p>He's also a lot more confident. He asked for a raise this year! </p> <p>Oh, and he quit smoking!! 2 years ago!! Go baby! </p> <p>He's a wonderful man, and I know this is cheesy but he gets more wonderful every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242322 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:45:42 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1242322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: thats my husband! If I could wave a wand and change one thing, that'd be it :) Variety is the spice of life, I tell him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242317 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:44:09 +0000 JessKas 1242317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I had an ex boyfriend like that. He hated vegetables so much he would pick the peas and tiny carrots out of fried rice. Drove me bonkers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242310 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:41:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1242310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: @jhd: lucky gals! My husband is into like...3 foods? (meat, fish &amp; chicken!) and nothing else. He won't try any pastas or salads or Mexican foods or Chinese foods...<br /> It is so flippin inconvenient; but he has been like that all his life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242303 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:40:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1242303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, and that's a good thing:) He was great then, great now....although i'd say he does do things *for me* that he wouldn't have done for anyone else...meaning: his friends may say he's changed because I can get him to do things that the single him would have never done (types of vacations, shopping habits...) I wouldn't say he's changed, just that he now has someone else to make decisions with rather than being so "in his ways". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242290 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:33:26 +0000 jhd 1242290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: my DH too. he will try new foods a lot more easily.</p> <p>my DH didn't rediscover comic books/graphic novels until we were dating. now he has a few that he reads every month. :) that has nothing to do with me it's just it has happened since we met. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242286 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:31:53 +0000 JessKas 1242286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a lot more confident. And more adventurous with his eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242073 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:37:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1242073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. He finally eats things that is not out of a fast food container or out of a sports bar. THANK GOODNESS!</p> <p>2. He doesn't go out every night, he was lonely before so he filled that time up at bars/ he's become much more of a homebody like me. </p> <p>3. He has more ambition in his job, and has moved up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242037 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:28:18 +0000 looch 1242037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is now an expert at anything related to Disney's Cars. He can magically track down toys that have been out of production for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242019 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:25:19 +0000 MamaMoose 1242019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: My hubs totally has a wider pallette. I think my MIL had seven meals that she just rotated every week. I've introduced my hubs to lots of new tastes/flavors/ingredients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1242011 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:23:35 +0000 ILoveLettie 1242011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Yeah, pretty much the same--I met DH four years or so ago, and I can't think of any big ways he's changed since then. He's definitely more studious in law school than he was in undergrad, but I think that's more just because law school is the first school that's ever challenged him (he's always been one of those too smart for his own good/doesn't apply himself without a challenge types). He tried giving up Diet Coke for a while (he's drank at least 2-3 cans a day since I've known him!), but that didn't last long :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241998 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:20:45 +0000 pui 1241998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm not really? In the 5 years I've known him I don't think he's changed very much at all. He was very mature when I first met him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241990 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:19:39 +0000 Alivoo01 1241990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has matured/grown up so much! He's toned down quite a bit from his single/partying days, and is much more family oriented. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241901 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:58:40 +0000 sslm 1241901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: @mrsjyw: Interesting... my husband wasn't into fantasy football until we got together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241892 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:56:54 +0000 illumina 1241892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: this! He could barely eat anything with a hint of spice!</p> <p>He's grown up so much, mostly in the last year or so... He really takes care of me now rather than the othe way around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241770 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:26:45 +0000 cmomma17 1241770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: We joke about this all the time! I thought I was getting a 'bad boy' (he had a shaved head, rode a motorcycle, etc. when we met), and he thought he was getting a sugarmama! lol Neither came true! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241769 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:26:29 +0000 MapleMoose 1241769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He never liked spicy food until he started dating me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241759 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:22:59 +0000 mrsjyw 1241759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's way more into Fantasy Football, works out less, eats better and has a more diverse/wider palette :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241756 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:22:12 +0000 IRunForFun 1241756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't work out as much! Before me he had a lot of free alone time and he worked out a TON - kind of obsessively. Now that I'm always around to hang out with, he only works out sort of obsessively. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241751 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:20:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 1241751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's grown into himself a lot, and gained a lot of confidence and ambition, and some seriousness as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-so-changed-since-you-got-together#post-1241731 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:17:46 +0000 mlm2934 1241731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That title sounds serious - I mean lighthearted ways :)</p> <p>I always tease my DH that I didn't sign up for his 3 team fantasy football addiction, and having to catch all the NFL games every week!!! When started dating he was just a mild football fan, like catch the big games only.</p> <p>What's different about your SO now? </p>
