lack of respect

One thing I see a lot that makes me cringe, is when people are dating, and they work so hard at pleasing their partner, but when they get married, they no longer care to do so. They suddenly stop caring about their appearance. They stop caring about their partner's feelings. They stop caring about the things the other person loved about them. These people didn't want to get married because they loved the other person, they wanted to get married to be married. They acted on their best behavior until they were wed, then stopped caring about their spouses.

And on a related note, the guy in my post from this morning did not gain 80 pounds in two months because of an eating disorder, or a physiological problem, he gained that weight because starting the day after he was wed, he ceased caring about anything but beer and TV.
