Since when does "I" become "we"?

I know most people are self-centered all the time or most of the time. But do you notice that "I" can suddenly become "we" in one situation?--- when women are married.
yesterday, I watched one episode from S.X and CITY, season I, depicting women's changed attitude when they get married. They seldom hang out with their girlmates as often as they used to. They are only concerned about their children and husbands. And all of a sudden, "I" turns into "We". quite interstin, but I have to admit this is quite true from my observation on my friends.

Hi magic,
Yes I agree. Like with your observation with your friends who have their own family already, "I" is inexistent it is more "Us" and "We" for that matter. True, because once you have a priority (like having a family per say) you tend to forgot about yourself and think of whats more important which is your family. Like what my mom always told us "don't think about me..for I have given myself to you". Which for me is very selfless and loving. Its like what we have and what we achieve is also hers. Its actually more of "you" rather than "me". Giving and Sacrificing is the word I could think about my mom's phrase. In our life there are things that bound to change...and we change for others.. and we think whats best for them.
Happy mylotting!

i think that's because a married woman changes her priority once she married. before doing something she will think first if her family will be affected -- like for instance, a friend from way back is inviting her to a party or something, she'll ask herself first if that time would be convenient. who would take care of the kids, who will left with them, will her husband agree that she go or if it will be alright if she go. i think decision making is now dependent on someone else and not for herself only. :)
