Quote by Helen Rowland

Before marriage, a man will go home and lie awake all night thinking about something you said; after marriage, he'll go to sleep before you finish saying it.

Before marriage, a man will go home and lie awake all night

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the dynamics of a relationship change after marriage. It implies that before marriage, a man might be deeply interested in a woman's words, pondering and reflecting on them throughout the night. However, after marriage, the same man might become more comfortable and accustomed to his partner's presence, leading to a decrease in his attentiveness. The quote highlights the contrast in communication dynamics between a couple before and after committing to each other.

Everyone has that friend who's every day, like, 'I hate my nose, I hate my nose, I hate my nose.' You either need to come to peace with it and be like, alright, I hate it, but it's part of me - or change it. So I'm not against plastic surgery, I'm against plastic surgery when it doesn't really need to be done.
