I worry because they disagree on some big things, like kids. Well, they both said they don't want any, but then she started bugging him for a baby after the wedding. She drove up here with me when I moved to Seattle to help drive and get me settled in, and I am very appreciative of that. She is a really wonderful person, but my biggest complaint about her is that she is a big time flake. That's always been my complaint, and that is why I am annoyed with her right now, as she has flaked on helping me with planning my other SIL's baby shower. So I am now stuck planning a shower in California FROM Washington. Good thing we didn't go with all her elaborate and expensive ideas, huh?
But, they have surprised me quite a bit. I thought they would have problems early on, but they've done really well. My brother's only complaints are that she does NOT clean and she spends all of his money! Her complaints are that he likes his alone time (something I tried to tell her before they were married and she shot me down). But, overall, they do well. They are learning to compromise...she is finding hobbies, he makes time for her, they do a budget so she can spend $XX amount. The cleaning is still an issue, but she apparently does better now that they have their own place. So, I am happy for them and wish them the best!
