Joined At The Hip
Something that changes once you get married is the way others regard you. I find that a lot of people assume that Jack and I do everything together. If I'm invited out then they think Jack has to be invited too, and vice versa. I sometimes wonder if certain people avoid planning things with me because they want to do an all-girls event and don't want a guy there; as if Jack and I are somehow joined at the hip and are physically inseparable.
Why do people think that as soon as someone gets married their partner has to tag along to everything? I have a firm belief that your independence and individuality does not have to be stunted just because you get married, so it is frustrating to feel like others keep thinking of me as a couple instead of an individual. I try to let people know that I'm available to do things without Jack and that we are both completely fine with each other spending time with other people, but it doesn't seem to always work. I just hope that this way that we're treated doesn't lead us to become one of those stupid couples that cannot do anything without the other one there. Talk about boring and pathetic. I think if I ever get to that point, realizing that my life has become that way will make me regret getting married.
