Sometimes it was... he used to nag me, actually, but he's learnt to shut up now :)Cate Subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371172824707301749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110730744329616042.post-80994845135702842212009-01-15T20:28:00.000-06:002009-01-15T20:28:00.000-06:00Hmmm... well, we've been living together for 2 and...Hmmm... well, we've been living together for 2 and a half years now. And while a lot has just come together for us, there are still things we're adjusting to/working out. Mostly because I'm anal, though. <BR/>I like the towels rolled. I can fit more towels into the place where they go by doing it that way. Yet he seems to still fold them... sloppily, I might add. <BR/>And then there are the dishes. He'll say "I'll do them" but really what he means is that he'll take them to the sink and put water in/on them. He's letting them soak. <BR/>Of course, there's me, who likes to talk during TV... which drives him crazy. And, I like to go to run errands together. <BR/>Don't get me wrong - I like my "me" time too. It's just that I get a lot of that with him on the road.<BR/>All the other stuff, I'm learning to just let go of. If it bothers me so much, then it's my problem. So I just either do it, or let it go. I think that's the hardest part for me, learning that we're not the same, and that things won't always get done my way. That is, until we have kids... ;-)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209533406055486161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110730744329616042.post-48061104517645656662009-01-15T17:52:00.000-06:002009-01-15T17:52:00.000-06:00We're still working on who cleans what and when. ...We're still working on who cleans what and when. There are a few things that annoy me and vice versa, but we've been living together for a whole year now and I've given up on changing him, haha. <BR/><BR/>He doesn't care what I wear or what I look like, really. :p<BR/><BR/>When people ask me how married life is, I never know how to reply. People look at me like I'm a freak when I answer, "It's alright." I mean, it's not any different from when we started living together before getting married.valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448471196018602121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110730744329616042.post-33915184112347877492009-01-15T16:24:00.000-06:002009-01-15T16:24:00.000-06:00We fell into place, the transistion was smooth and...We fell into place, the transistion was smooth and 4 years later, still easy. We have the exact cleaning arrangement you do. One thing that I know helps us is I leave for work earlier, so he has his mornings to himself and I get home first, which gives me a good hour or so to watch tmz or access hollywood.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428554394228794484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110730744329616042.post-34859831147781443352009-01-15T15:53:00.000-06:002009-01-15T15:53:00.000-06:00We sort of fell into place.

I don't hide things from (probably should) nor does he. <BR/>I do have a tendency to ask where he's going frequently. Watch Coupling. We can be very Susan and Steve!<BR/>I knew folks growing up with the dishwasher as storage. It's so weird. I prefer to use it as a dishwasher.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004178422343485278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110730744329616042.post-68035450379396141372009-01-15T15:26:00.000-06:002009-01-15T15:26:00.000-06:00haha.. i know the post you speak of. Although the ...haha.. i know the post you speak of. Although the hubby dislikes many of my fashion choices if they are anything other than, i guess you could say, "classic" or "casual," I feel the same as you about the living together thing. We have had absolutely no issue living together. We know each other so frickin well already. And we already basically knew each other's habits long ago. I guess it's because we spent soooo much time together and often stayed together before we officially moved in together in May. And we've been together over 5 years. I always feel like a disappointment when people ask "How's married life?" and all I can say is "the same." It's the same in an amazingly different way. But the difference is all in the lovey-dovey feeling I get from knowing we have the same last name, he's my husband, etc. Our lives are exactly the same, as is our relationship. <BR/><BR/>He has a cousin who got married in May. He always asks how married life is, then talks about how it's so strange at first, an adjustment etc, etc. We just kinda laugh politely, but we really just can't relate. It's not different for us!! <BR/><BR/>There are only two things that Stu does that drive me crazy<BR/>1. When he puts dishes in the sink with food still in them. <BR/>2. When he turns the spray bottles to the off position, instead of leaving it on spray.. cause then I always grab them and try to spray and just get spray leaking down on my hands. :-) (wow, sorry so long!)ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204889856385422586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110730744329616042.post-22378012022483178282009-01-15T15:21:00.000-06:002009-01-15T15:21:00.000-06:00The hubs and I both grew up in households where th...The hubs and I both grew up in households where the dishwasher was never used. I still don't get it. A dishwasher is the number one thing I want in our next home.<BR/><BR/>We also like to be together but be able to do our own things, which kind of reminds me of <I>Best in Show</I>..."We could talk or not talk for hours."
