Wife...Girlfriend..All the same?

[Helpmeblongagain]

When we were dating I would not:

live with him
sleep over at his place
cook him meals regularly
clean his place
run his errands (drop off mail, pick up dry cleaning)
do his laundry
grocery shop for him
allow him to leave things at my place or give him a drawer
combine finances
spend money on him (except Valentine's Day, his birthday & Christmas)
consider him in my life choices
give him all of my time (I dated others and he knew it)

As his wife I do all of those things except combine finances (our personal choice) laundry & doing the floors (carpet & tile) since those are on his chore list.

Hmmm...so does that mean you weren't fully committed until marriage? If so, what lines did you draw with the others?

No. I should clarify. Until HE asked to become exclusive, I dated others. I was not intimate with any of them (DH either). That only went on for about 2.5 months though until he asked to become exclusive.
