I hold an unconventional mindset in a conventional society which says women are to 'tone down' post marriage... I was/still am the girl who enjoys being the life of the party.. I still Im the live wire which catches everyone's attention but only invites criticism from my husband and the comment 'tone down'. What is tone down and why should I? He still is the same boring guy I fell in love with, then why do I need to behave like a nun??

I was like that. I didn't want to stop being the life of the party just because I am happily attached but gradually, without me realising, I slowed down. I didn't want to party if my man wasn't there and our friends started settling down as well so there wasn't really a point going over the top anymore. The attention was fun and flattering but I didn't really care for it after a while. I like to think that I'm still the life of the party but just a different kind of scene. That's what toning down means to me :)
