This topic came to my mind yesterday. my mom was telling stories about her friend's daughter getting married this december and she is always saying her fiance is really a nice boy/man. my mom's friend though said well you wouldn't know for sure. sometimes when you are married, that is the time you can say what he really is as a person... so for those who are getting married, engaged, or is in a relationship... do you think he will change from being this kind... to well, another person?

I believe so. I believe in what others say that you only know someone until you are living in one roof. If we have to apply it to a love relationship, guys have the tendency to make an impression. Hence, you can only tell what he really is when you stay in one house. If you are staying in one roof, there are behaviors or traits that you may observe. This does not apply only to the guys though. It can be applied also to girls. During the preliminary relationship, girls tend to be so nice in the eyes of their bf, while in fact they can be so rude infront of their friends or family.

Yes, you are right. Staying together in one roof can make a difference compared to a relationship where you do not stay in one house. I also believe that you should not be married when you decide to live together. Nowadays, cohabitation is no longer an issue.

I agree that living together shows you a different side of a person, but I do not believe you have to be married to move in together.

Marriage should never change anything about a relationship. I think people who hide their true nature until marriage are cowardly scum. If that were to happen to me, I would file for annulment/divorce as soon as I could. As it stands, I have been married for over 2 years and it did not change him or anything else about our relationship for that matter.

you are right, but there would be instances where one would only see the "true colors" of a person after they are married.

Like I said, I would not stay married to a dishonest person like that.

I am a man but I want to share my opinion about this... If you still believed that your BF, loving after married. There is no points that he is change. It is also depend on the situation because there are cases that after married their husband or wife change... Have a great day!

Hi Chiyosan!. I think no one will change for others except he want to change himself. If he change for others the change will not permanent. In relationship I always take the principles take or leave it. If I can handle his behavior and character we will carry on. If not its means I had to stop, because it will only hurt me in the future.

Yes there is some people who change when they get married but it depends on what changes. If small things like he's not as flirty as he was before marriage or he used to pay more attention before or whatever little thing like that, it would be ok because with marriage more responsiblities comes with it, kids and such and that sometimes distract people. But, i had a freind whose boyfreind seemed to be a gentelman. He wa kind, sweet, considered and adored her much. But once they got married he started hitting her and abusing her... So there is no rule about this. When he changes to a horrible person get your things and live, life is too short to waste on somone who is no worth it.

for me its a big yes. because when the two of you is not yet married, your boyfriend has a good attitude, like doing things that he think that it can make you happy. But when you are already married his real attitude will come out, and some of them hurt their wives. They dO what they want. evEn if its nOt gOod.

My bf has been my husband for over fourteen years now and I can say that yes he has changed but so have I! Relationships do change when you have been together for a long time. The love between you deepens in the sense that it is more of an intimate friendship than giddy and in love like when you are dating! It is a perfectly normal stage for long term relationship. A person should grow in fact you should grow together not necessarily change who you are. If a man does reveal a different personality once you are married it is cause for concern in my opinion.

Well, we never know. Just hope that through all this girlfriend-boyfriend relationship he has shown all his good and his bad. Probably he will change, into someone better or someone worse.. We never know.. Life is gambling anyway..

Everybody changes as time passes by. It really doesn't mean that it is a bad thing cause some people change for the better. There are also a lot of aspects that would affect a persons personality. The stress and responsibility a person faces will also affect his personality. So my answer to this is a definite yes.

he will not actually changed but you are just beginning to see who he really is. Its a bit different when you live together, maybe there are some qualities that you didn't knew about him that soon you will discover.

How long they are in the relationship before they got engage. Actually being married not always make you know more your partner. I believe its how long have you been into the relationship. Maybe being married to a person is equal to submission to himself so that what the saying of you will get to know more of the person once you get married. I hope your friend will find love to his husband to be!

That's a really hard topic. It's hard to say too, because people are so incredibly different, which is what makes everyone so interesting. I mean, they say that the two year mark is the hardest because that's when you realize all of your spouse's flaws and you realize you have to deal with them. They also say the 10 year mark is another one of the hardest hallmarks of marriage, but I can't remember why. You know, though, the more I think about it, the more I do think that people will change in marriage. People are changing constantly. Their taste in music, books, movies, etc. I think the bigger question is how the couple will handle the changes and if they will change together.

yes ,I do believe my boyfriend changed when I got married .My boyfriend changed a lot in his attitudes and character compared when we are still boyfriend .Being married well changed his priorities.While we are still in relationship we usually go movies and stroll around but when we got married. He would prefer to stay home and watched home video.Things may changed because of our differences but marriage doesn't mean affect our love with each other because of our differences but rather make it stronger everyday.Even trials and difficulties comes in our life.

I think that it's natural for people to change within a marriage. First of all, people will change either way, just due to time passing and becoming older. It doesn't always have anything to do with being married or not. People just think son because they are looking for a reason to explain the changes. Also, marriage IS a different kind of relationship. For example, even if you are living together beforehand, there can be adjustments made after marriage that could affect things. You may start sharing a bank account or share bills that used to belong to only one person. Marriage is a lot of work, and that is going to take a toll on people. However, this doesn't mean that the person has to change for the worst. If he is a great guy, he probably won't change into a horrible jerk. It happens, but for the most part, I think he would still be a nice guy. Of course, I also think that people can be very nice, but within a relationship they don't seem to be. That is, a guy could be a great guy with his friends and family and acquaintances, but to his girlfriend he seems like a jerk because they don't mesh well or have the same ideals. Sometimes you start noticing things, after moving in together or getting married, that you never noticed before. Or the little things that you didn't let bother you in the initial stages of the relationship (because you didn't want to seem like you were unappealing, controlling, whining, etc.), start to bother you. That's natural, too. If you really love each other, you have to accept that the other person isn't perfect, and to be willing to work through problems like this when they happen. If both of them are able to do this, I really doubt he will seem to change into another person.

Yes I do believe that my boyfriend will surely change once we get married. I'm just praying that the change which will occur in him once we get married will be a positive change where he will change for the better. Being in a boyfriend-girlfriend status is really different than in marriage. Both of us will have new priorities which are matured ones and we will encounter different trials together.

i've heard these words before.later i know why. because when people fall in love, they want to show the best part to their fried.so it is hard to find their drawback.but when they got married,they show all of themselves .at that time,men are lazy for housework,women are lazy for dressed up.so people think their partner changed. actually ,they are not change.they just show all of themselves.

People usually don't change drastically over time, but our perceptions of them do. When you make the decision to get married, you probably are confident in how much you know someone... in-laws aren't always like that. The person's fiancee is most likely the one who knows them the best, unless of course, their entire relationship is a lie. And it usually isn't.

marriage is such a beautiful thing that every young person wants to get.....but it seems that after marriage the boy changes in nature but it is not true in every cases . peoples who cannot handle marriage normally do things like this and the only cure to it is love and understanding....
