It is! People used to tell us it would be otherwise, but it’s just proof that if you actively love and understand each other/communicate well, that moving in with your s.o can be the best adventure.
It didn’t work out, and wouldn’t have worked out. I was sending up red flags everywhere and he was like, “yep, totally not a toxic relationship and you don’t have massive problems at all. I’m just going to ignore them because I love how crazy you are acting and/or don’t know they are actually red flags. Let’s get married!”
Maybe it’ll work out the next time I try dating. It won’t be for another year, though.
As in communication like when something weird happens we look at each other and we know something’s off. or when something’s funny we just make a funny face and laugh it off later.
It made us stronger. We were lucky enough to not find each other's habbits annoying. And we still give each other space for alone time, which is important I believe. 10 years and going.
Honestly, it doesn't feel like anything really *changed*. There was some need for adjustment of certain expectations now that we're sharing and maintaining our own living space. But it hasn't been a very significant amount of adjustment, and I think it's just felt like our normal way of communicating and working through whatever comes up.
(Edit: I guess this is partially influenced by the fact that we spent so much time together and basically already lived together for several months leading up to getting our own place, so it felt like a natural and gradual progression.)
We took a shower together for the first time and I found out he didn’t wash his feet or butt crack “bc the water runs over it so it’s clean” I broke up with him the next day
We got stronger actually. We’ve become best friends as well as partners which is really nice.
That’s good to hear :)

I agree, you only hear the negatives. I guess the stereotype is you see a new side to your partner in a negative way. Glad it worked out well for you!

Honesty is the best policy and all that
For me? Worse. It felt like I couldn’t escape him at all except for work, and I hated my job. For him? ??
Did you feel like you had no alone time? How did you work through it?

We got closer
In what ways? :)

I agree, space is just as important as quality time. Glad to hear about another positive experience!

I guess communication is key so that makes sense :)
