    being a slob at home sometimes

    eating leftovers because I only cook once  a week a few dishes but I reheat, now I may have to cook daily ay ay ay

     

    shopping whenever I feel like; now there's two to think of wow, so sweet but man I love buying at sales

    visiting my family and staying long weekends in long island

    I will miss spending money on frivolous things like clothes and cute purses, and shoes!!! Now that we're combining finances I feel guilty about spending money on things I dont need.

    Having my money be my money, now I have to share and save together!

    Traveling with friends, not that I won't be able to now, but now I have to worry about the boy being home alone and feeling guilty.

    oh yes, I love to enjoy eye candy, in NYC its hard not to; men chat you up left and right; you feel like a goddess

    now I can never talk to a guy the same way

     

    I could still chat because I wasnt married yet but yeah once the ring is on that finger---its byebye eye candy; think thats why I lived it up on my bachelorette night; ;last night I can flirt hard core

    I'll miss not being able to make big decisions by myself.
    Not being able to make a quick dinner every night of a week that I don't feel like cooking.
    Not being able to pick up and drive out of town to visit friends whenever I feel like it.
    Being able to keep money or life facts to myself.
    Losing some of my privacy.

    I think that I will miss my dinners by myself.  Not because I enjoy eating alone (or just with my daughter) but because it's just cereal.  Or cheese toast.  Or buttered rice.  Garlic bread. 

    Nothing really healthy.  And that won't fly in a married household!

    Ummm. I'm still married and get to do all those things! Muah ha ha!

    I will probably stuff my face less with him around. I know I'd get "THE LOOK" for, say, eating a spoonful of butter shamelessly off my spoon. Or dipping my crackers into it. Embarassed. Sometimes i'm embarrassed by what I eat!

    um yea, I second fiftyfoodbride...I'm going to miss my wonderful health insurance that I don't have to pay for (well I pay for my visits and perscripts, but not for the coverage- my dad's employer covers a lot of it for the family). Sigh...

    Is it sad that I don't miss anything?  I'm a happily married kid!

    FI and I already live together -- so he knows what I eat and what my habits are. I will miss: filing income taxes separately and each getting a refund instead of filing together and potentially owing!

    Also, my middle name. I've loved it growing up -- it's so much fun to sign in cursive and I think it's so pretty. However, I'm sacrificing it so that my maiden last name will become my new middle name.

    Otherwise, I can't wait to be married! :D

    I agree with the rest of the ladies, Ill miss the freedom of easy thrown together dinners, late night ice cream runs with the girls, random sleepovers with your friends just so you can keep chatting about your night out, being messy sometimes, spending money on frivilous pleasures (and being the only one who knows I'm broke for a week after buying that purse lol), running out and buying a new shirt instead of going to the laundromat lol... just the general freedom of being single and make life decisions of my own, on my own time and by my own rules Smile

    I'll definitely miss my name and having no one to answer to but myself. I hate those raised eyebrows when I come home with yet another pair of shoes. :) I think the freedom will eventually come back, as you find your own rhythm as a couple. Or at least, I hope so!

    My name and complete control over my money. My condo and my state. I'm the one stuck moving. Eating whatever I want, not cooking if I don't feel like it.

    I'm with Mrs. DG--Honestly, I don't miss anything!!  We lived together before, so there were no surprises there.  Also, I kinda hated the dating scene so I have no desire to go back to that!

    @ fiftyfoot: your parents must have a great health insurance plan! I get booted off my mom's the day after I turn 23, and if I was still on my dad's I would have been booted as soon as I was no longer a student.

    But along the same lines, I'll miss being on my parents' car insurance. I could stay on there as long as their house is considered my permanent residence.

    Not married yet (or engaged... heh). But, the things I'm worried about missing are total control over my money, and alone time. I am BIG on alone time and I'm worried about living with someone 24/7/365!

    The stuff that I would miss ... I do while he's not around. Like not cleaning up after myself right away, eating junk food or even an unbalanced meal (frozen pizza, spaghetti). We both give each other some space for this kind of stuff.

    I don't like feeling like I have to get a purchase "okayed" by him, but I'm getting used to it because if it's big enough to affect both of us, we should both get a say. (I'm not talking about a clothes shopping trip, just BIG things.)

    I will miss waking up at my parents house on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know we will create our own traditions but that one makes me kind of sad.

    Also, speaking of holidays, I love dressing up in little costumes for Halloween. Last year I was a sexy pirate, year before that stawberry shortcake. I always had a boyfriend/fiance and was never out looking but its fun and I'm not going to be able to get away with it for much longer.

    That's over. I just don't think a married lady should go as sexy rainbow bright. Boo.
