How is it living with your significant other? Is it cool? Do you ever want to just tell them to GTFOOYB so you can have the whole thing to yourself and sleep as you please? Please advise, thinking about moving in with my girlfriend next year. Seems like sharing my bed/bathroom/time/TV might get annoying after a while. Does it?
Perhaps I should consult the Kstatefans board instead because they're all so wicked old over there? :dunno:
-
At first it's kinda awesome. (Sex all the time! Whenever you go to bed, whenever you shower, whenever you catch her off guard :excited:)
Then it's kinda lame. (WTF I need my space!) and.. (No, I can't pay your half of rent, and No, you can't eat my favorite food. It's mine. :curse:)
At that point one of two things happens: Either you start getting along great again and stay with them long term, or you realize it's not gonna work out and move on.
Sleeping isn't a real big deal FYI. But do yourself a favor and get a queen size or so so you can roll over without falling out of bed.
What is a big deal is the bathroom. She will inevitably drop a deuce in your vicinity for the first time. Be prepared.
-
I love it. It's pretty much living with your best friend (I have a pass to be cheesy on this post, right?)
Must establish time to be by yourself. I use all this time to check goEMAW, but to each his own.
-
Be sure you never plan on breaking up.
-
One time my girlfriend's parents were out of town and I stayed over at her house until, like, 3AM. :gocho:
-
At first the sleep situation really sucked cuz i was used to having an entire queen bed to myself and sleeping diagonally on it. Then suddenly she was taking up half of the bed. But now (6 yrs later) I'm used to it. In fact, this week my wife and kids are out visiting the in-laws in Beautiful Boulder, CO and I'm finding myself sleeping much worse than normal, simply because Mrs. 1/64th is not in the bed with me. I know, pretty lame. As far as TV, bathroom etc, it's not that bad. You'll watch a little HGTV and grow to tolerate it. Just make sure she's a huge K-State/whatever else you like (or make her one) and you'll be fine. Good luck SB. :cheers:
-
just wait till she brings the speakerphone into the bathroom while you're taking a shower and chit chats with her girlfriends. I know they can't see me or anything, but it just feels awkward.
or you wake up in the middle of the night after she punches you in the arm, yelling at you because she had a dream in which you were banging some skank from your office. then you fall back asleep and dream about banging a skank from the office, but it's the ugly one and not the cute one she was yelling at you about.

Getting married or even shacking up sounds kinda horrible after most of these, d00dz. Any experiences moving in together and then breaking up? I think that's prob. every guy's fear, and it's probably horrible. :ohno:

got that one too. Lived with a GF right after college. She became a controlling freak and we finally broke up. Unfortunately we were both on the lease, and she had nowhere to go, and I was not giving her the place. I slept on the couch for the last 4 months of the lease and we just avoided each other. Got a new place and she moved to some slum and begged me to let her live with me again. Told her to GTFOOMF. Funny thing is, she started dating this other guy while we were still living together. He ended up dumping her and became friends with me instead.

Stole it from TexAgs. They haven't threatened to sue us yet.

If they sue, we should have a trial preparation bonfire the night before the trial.

how many people do i have to kill in the back to get the blue :woot: guy over to this dump?

Just get a dog or a really smart fat cat.
How are you going to bring sluts home to bang if you're living with your GF or... Heaven forbid... MARRIED?

Definitely invest in a king size bed. Unless you are both midgets, sleeping will suck without one. And, as someone else mentioned, make it clear to her that you will both set aside your own personal time. If not, you'll get sick of each other pretty quickly. That's key. Do those things and it's pretty enjoyable.
-
Like others said, personal time is key. If you can't go to the basement to shoot some faces in video games, then don't even think about it. Also, does she cook? And more importantly, does she cook well?
-
Good cook and has enjoyed or at least tolerated watching KhazzouKhatz games with me. But having a lady in the bed makes it hard for me to sleep and I don't know if I'll ever get over that. My personal time will be spent BBSing, obviously, which she can never know about because I start threads like these sometimes. :peek:
-
Girls are awesome. Really, really awesome. But disgusting as well. Did you know that they poop and fart and belch? I didn't. Also, TV dominance needs to be established quickly.

i did this. was fun at first then she always wanted to stay in and not go out then would get mad when i would go out then started accusing me of flirting with other girls (WTF) and then became really controlling then we would fight all the time and yell then i moved out and broke up b/c it was lame and then moved in with my bud. she was hot though.
-
Personally, I love it. But my wife's pretty cool. Is your GF cool? :dunno:
Also, we have a king-size bed. Maybe that helps?
TIP: Don't go to the gym together. It will just piss everybody off.

might have already been covered in this thread, but the first time you're taking a shower and she takes a dump, that will be a strange new experience for you. hope she's not a grunter.

If you allow this to happen it's your own fault. There is clear seperation between these things. Even taking a leak in the same room is not allowed in the sd household.

THIS.
I shoot faces almost every night for like an hour, and then hop on my lap top for another hour or two....if she isn't cool with that, tell her to go in the back an kill herself.

Agree with SD. That's how we role in the Pete household as well. However, I am guilty of burping loudly with a regularity that disturbs mrs. Pete.

she has a very strict "no shutting the door" policy. can't be helped.

Yeah, it can be....don't marry or live with someone disgusting

OK_Cat, do you only have one bathroom or something?!? WTF man, put your foot down.

In the 1/64th's house, #1 is acceptable and #2 is not. Although, I'm usually the one tinkling while she is showering. Very rarely the other way around.

How do you people do groceries? Halfsies? Alternate who pays? Joint credit card/savings for food?
Is the fridge open season or is it still 'this is my drawer' 'this is your drawer' type of thing?

Very glad I got out of that "stinky" situation when I did (pun intended, lol)

She has 24 hours to eat all leftovers. After that time, it's fair game.
"Fair game" means I'm going to eat it all in one sitting.

It's not a little...it's a lot.
Holmes on Homes is pretty good though. I pick up a lot of good info on there.
The real estate shows give you some good tips on buying a house (that we used successfully).
All of the decorating shows can GTFOOMF.
-
Before we got married and we were living in sin, rent and all utilities were halvesies. Grocery were too, though if you want to preserve the harmony, my advise is to get real good at not worrying about who pays what....just pay when asked and move on.
Once married, we are a single account operation. It took a bit to get the hang of it.

For quite a while, we had to watch the same crap...which meant her crap. Then, once kids showed up, we kinda started doing our own thing. It's awesome now...I have my TV room and she has hers. Sometimes we watch the same thing, but mostly we don't. It's amazing.

Hulu and ESPN360 are amazing.
I watched five seasons of LOST while she spent time watching horrible stuff on Oxygen.

Still haven't transitioned to this. I'm thinking we're going to keep them separate. Migh have to change when one of us stops working.

Separate is dumb. One house, one budget is the only way to go, unless you both live like college students and make mad money.
-
Combining accounts is recommended. Especially if she makes more. Have buddies that don't do the combined account thing and they bitch a lot about they always pay for everything. Seems stupid. :dunno:
-
Money is the biggest instigator of fights. If you can get that figured out, you got it made.

Yours doesn't like Lost? Guess I should consider myself lucky. :dunno: We're about two seasons in and she's usually the one that's all like :surprised: wtf is going on with this show?!?!?!

Trim's standard prenup (a popular pre-wedding gift amongst his pals) calls for separate accounts.
-
3 accounts, doodz. individual slush funds for the "gifts to self" and then a joint account for all the "round-the-house/bills" expenditures. makes everyone happy.
-
First, pics of prospective live-in needed before honest answer can be given.
Second, get used to the idea that what's yours is hers and what's hers is hers. No crap.
Third, find a way to have your own spending money. Preferably some cash only piddly job. Never, never ever tell her about it.
Fourth, if you need more bed space, learn to snore. The louder the better.
