GTKY - Living Together

[aegis2005]

When you started living with your DH/SO what was one of the biggest adjustments you had to make to peacefully co-exist?

What is one of the most interesting (or weird) thing you learned about that after you started living together?

What was the very best part of moving in together?

I copied and pasted this from something I googled - and I can't think of any big changes that happened. The big "thing" was not paying rent for a place I was living in less than 50% of the time.

For me the biggest adjustment was moving to a new city, away from my friends. I was not jazzed up about moving to Tampa at all. Just last night H and I were laughing how I waited until the last possible moment (aka my lease ran out on my sweet Siesta Key waterfront pad).

I also moved into H's home, which was kinda weird. He bought this house as a bachelor and it was very manly. I haven't changed much, except a new bedroom set and moving in my office; however, I don't feel attached to the house like he does.

I feel like the next house we buy will truly be ours, and we can settle there together as a family.

It was so long ago, I don't really remember. One big adjustment was we were right out of HS and it was the first time either of us had our own place. (We graduated in May and moved in July)

The best part: when he moved out! ;D

Learning that my H eats a lot more than I realized! We used to grocery shop together the first few years we lived together, probably so my H could get enough food! Now I know how much to buy and can't remember the last time we went to the grocery store together. My cooking skills have also improved greatly over the past 5 years, we moved in together right after I graduated college and I had pretty minimal cooking skills then.

I pretty much lived with him for a year before we officially moved our stuff into the same apt. He loved with his BFF and I stayed there every single night, but they had well water that smelled terrible and I couldn't shower in it. I ended up paying a friend $400 month for a bedroom so I could drive there when I needed to take a shower. When we moved in I remember the closet sharing was weird. Neither of us had ever shared a closet before. Now that we have our house we have his/ hers which is good bc he has a ton of clothes and is much neater than me with them. Our closets are night and day. The best thing about living together ... Oh I don't know, I can't and don't want to imagine living without him.

Hmm, I can't really remember. We have been living together for almost 10 years. Wow, I didn't realize it's been that long. I deserve a metal or something. LOL

It was a big adjustment for me because I had just graduated college, moved to a super small, shitty town in Texas, and I hate it. But slowly I adjusted.
