If your minhag changes to a 'lower' standard -- do you still switch? For example - marrying someone who doesn't keep cholov Yisroel when you do. Or marrying someone who waits 3 hours when you're used to waiting 6.

Cholov Yisroel is not a Minhag. It a Hlachah that, at least l'chatchilah, everyone must keep, even according to Rav Moshe. It is not subject to the laws of Minhagim.

Hmmm... I didn't know that.
What bout going down to 3 hours?

Thats a legitimate Minhag, but only for those who really have the Minhag.

There is a machlokes rishonim in interpreting the gemorra in Chullin 105a I don't eat it (milchigs) in this meal, but in another meal I do.

Rambam holds that it means c'dei shiur s'uda acheres v'hu cmo sheish sha'os. Tosaphos holds that it is sheim s'uda acheres, and all one needs to do is bentch and clean out his mouth.

If the Rambam had meant 5 hours and a minute (i.e. into the sixth hour) he would have written c'mo chamesh sha'os.

I asked rabbi Bresslaue (a"h) of Washington Heights why the Yekkes wait three hours, he said because in Germany they had a s'eudah every three hours. But the one hour minhag is not based on the Rambam, but rather Tosaphos.

The Rama in Yoreh De'ah 87:1 brings Tosaphos's opinion that you don't have to wait any particular time (bentch and wash mouth) and then says that the minhag is to wait an hour. The G'ra there says that this is based on the Zohar.
