To the women that have been married longer than me…
I got married recently. Since then I’ve had the same question asked a hundred times.
‘How’s married life?’
Now I get this conversation starter seems genuinely polite for the people that care how my life is going.
But what concerns me is the hint of sarcasm from other people that follows.

So far (I'm even more recently married), the, 'how's married life?' questions are MUCH more palatable than the, 'how are the wedding plans going?' questions. They really stressed me out
I ask how's married life as a way of saying I remembered that you were recently married and asking if life has settled down and back to normal after the whirlwind that often accompanies weddings! My life didn't change after I was married so I'm certainly not expecting other people's too. I think you're reading too much into the question...either that or you're surrounded by a lot of people who obviously married partners they didn't know very well!
Yep a bit over sensitive. The comments even the seemingly negatives ones are usually said with a healthy dose of humour not in a way that attempts to convince the other that marriage was a bad decision. When i say "how's married life?" I mean hey you got married how are you enjoying the new status of mrs/mr so and so and basically how good does it feel to be on that newly married high?
