Its a whole new world!

'It's a whole new world...'
This OST from the animated Disney production Aladdin now comes as a complete new meaning to me. Life has changed after being married. Yes its normal, as people tell me, but sincerely going through it is quite a roller coaster at the moment.
I am in a long distance marriage (which is at over 2,000 km distance) and just too difficult to handle especially when living with punju in-laws. I will accept (rather sheepishly) that I do not feel being married at times, and rather having shifted to some PG accomodation in a strange land where I of all people around me must wear odd clothing/make up and just eat anything and everything made of desi ghee (& if you don't understand what's that, you are in a great state of affairs)!
Suddenly, I have begun comparing things/lifestyle/etc between my parents' household and this new place. Things come to mind like, how it was there -- getting up late on holidays, few responsibilities, little pressure, ease in life/lifestyle, etc (must stop here coz the list is seemingly endless!).
On a positive side, my hubby and I cherish every moment we spend together -- its quality time! We hate quabbling over anything and just steer away lest wasting time together.
