8 Arab things that are bound to happen once you get married

You've gone through the rollercoaster ride called the >engagement period, had your Arab guy >propose to you, and even went through the wedding avoiding those eight deadly >sins.

So, congratulations, you're married now! No matter where you are in the world, being Arab means there are certain things you are bound to go through once you cut that cake and have officially gone home.

Here are eight Arab things that will unavoidably happen once you tie the knot:

She or they (the guests) come fully prepared with a list of who didn't touch their cake, who didn't step their foot on the dance floor, and who was eyeing you the whole time.

And if they're brave enough, they might even ask upfront just to avoid the whole calculation process.

You're wearing a loose t-shirt, avoiding caffeinated drinks, and not wearing heels... AT THE SAME TIME? Definitely pregnant.

Your aunt swears it's a boy even though you aren't even pregnant.

There hasn't exactly been enough time for the opposite to happen, khalto.

Do you have a helper? Are you on birth control? Does your wife cook for you? Do you get along with your in-laws?

Bonus points if they get asked all at once by the same person.

Remember those funerals and never-ending family gatherings you used to very carelessly and happily avoid because you're just a teenager?

Read that slowly: R.I.P.

"Tell me more about your genius kid and all the struggles of being a working mom."

Once you get the hang of it, you secretly start enjoying those conversations.
