I actually require to live on ameliorate nigh beingness cleaner!
What Were Your Worries Before Moving In?
1. That it wasn't going to work. You e'er take away heed nigh how living amongst someone "changes everything" too nigh how difficult it is on a relationship. You never desire that for a human relationship thence that I retrieve scared me the most. What if this didn't go for us?
Spoiler Alert: It's working actually good for us!
2. That I would live on territorial of my space. Before Andrew moved inwards I was living lonely for the yesteryear 7 (?) years too I loved it SO much. Living lonely was 1 of the best things I could receive got done coming into adulthood. But amongst that, I consider the transition of living amongst someone else (especially a boy) would live on every bit good difficult or every bit good extreme of a change.
Spoiler Alert: I'm non at all. What is mine is his too vice versa.
3. Not having plenty "me time." Living lonely was e'er my hazard to relax too veg out too only live on amongst myself. I was worried that without that I would plough into this hateful crazy mortal too constantly live on annoyed amongst beingness or thence someone else thence much (I was a large introvert after work). Andrew is also thence active I was scared he was going to convey my veg out fourth dimension too brand me practise materials (lol).
Spoiler Alert: I didn't require every bit much "me time" every bit I consider to live on balanced too happy too he does like to practise materials but I savor it AND nosotros nevertheless discovery fourth dimension to veg.

What You Least Expected to Happen: How much I depend on him beingness around. When he's gone I acquire thence bored too I'm like, "what practise I practise without him?" Not that I'm totally dependent on him, but I experience similar I'm missing my best friend, my alert clock, my chef too my TV buddy. And I knew that living together would either brand or interruption us but I wasn't expecting us to choke SO much to a greater extent than inwards love. It's similar y'all retrieve y'all dear the other mortal to the max already but it only keeps growing to a greater extent than everyday.
Advice to Others:
1. Talk nigh it to death: I retrieve the to a greater extent than y'all verbalize nigh it too verbalize nigh every petty thing, the ameliorate it volition be. It's a large determination to motility inwards amongst your meaning other. You require to brand certain your short- too long-term priorities occupation up, that you're doing it for the correct reasons too that the chemical gene of surprise is limited. I personally follow the dominion of talking nigh everything too anything. I believe the world's biggest problems tin live on solved amongst proficient communication.
2. Figure out bills: Money is an awkward dependent plain for everyone. But it's something that y'all require to verbalize nigh before moving inwards together. Make certain y'all comprehend how y'all are going to pay for things, who takes tending of what, how y'all volition split upwards shared items, etc. Have a laid conception too stick to it. If y'all discovery it isn't working, verbalize nigh it. See what industrial plant best. Right right away nosotros split rent downward the middle too I pay the TV + meshwork and ConEd bills too Andrew buys groceries. It's what industrial plant for us!
3. Go inwards amongst an opened upwards mind: There are things y'all require to compromise on too somethings that are only non worth the fight. I don't desire to state choke inwards amongst null expectations but choke inwards amongst an opened upwards too happy mind. Look on the brilliant side, alternative your battles, verbalize to a greater extent than ... things similar that. This is going to live on novel for both of you!
4. Take a monthly audit: Goes dorsum to the communication to a higher house but convey fourth dimension 1 time a calendar month too verbalize nigh everything. Your frustrations, what y'all enjoy/love nigh them, 1 thing you'd similar them to live on focused on, your thoughts, your feelings ... anything! Just talk.

This would include cleaning Dixie's litter box daily, taking out the trash, cooking, doing dishes, cleaning floors, too grocery shopping amid other things.
My Least Favorite Thing About Living amongst Krista: This is a tough one, too non only because I know she's going to read this. I'll state my to the lowest degree favorite business office is that she uses every foursquare pes of the even out every bit 1 large shelf. The dinner tabular array sometimes doubles every bit a shoe shelf. The top of lavatory stores makeup too some other unmentionables. The sleeping room flooring ... well, y'all acquire the idea. She's messy. She would acknowledge that. I'm learning to convey it too nosotros brand an attempt to organize weekly.

What Were Your Worries Before Moving In?
1. I didn't receive got any. I'm non proverb that to audio cool, I only honestly wasn't worried nigh it. In fact, a few days before I moved in, Krista got mad at me because she consider I wasn't taking the motility seriously enough. She was anxious -- too rightly thence -- because this is a large step, but I'm non the worrying type. I had null reservations. In my mind, I was already moved in. Six months later, I nevertheless know it was the correct decision, I'm nevertheless non anxious, too the transition catamenia was pretty short.

What You Least Expected to Happen: I least expected to choke a truthful cat person. Let me live on clear, if I had to select betwixt cats too dogs, I'd convey dogs 11 times out of ten. However, Dixie too I are best buds too receive got been for the final iv years or so. Being amongst her every twenty-four hours has made me observe too appreciate cats to a greater extent than than I ever did, which is to state I never did.
Side note, I refer to Krista every bit an "indoor cat." So I receive got ii cats amongst a combined 3 eyes. It's the best.

Advice to Others:
1. Absolutely practise NOT motility inwards together unless y'all receive got given it long, serious consider too are fully committed to each other. As I said earlier, I had no hesitations nigh moving in. I had mentally prepared for the motility for a long fourth dimension prior, thence the transitions was easy.
2. Related to the start point, choke along opor-garai for to a greater extent than than a weekend too pretend y'all are living together. Krista too I locomote a lot too I'm a fan of AirBnB, thence when nosotros would choke away, nosotros were getting a truthful sense of savour of what it would live on similar to alive amongst 1 another. The unfamiliarity of the living infinite (it's non your house too it's non your partners) too the require to live on self-sufficient is similar preparation wheels for an impending move.
3. Decide what really, genuinely bothers y'all too what y'all tin larn to alive with. You volition discovery out that y'all are bothered yesteryear some things that y'all hadn't given consider to before. For example, on days when Krista too I shoot weblog photos, she uses the pilus dryer too and then leaves it inwards the sink. It drives me crazy, but I know it's non worth making a fuss over. Instead, it's a elementary request. Another instance is that the alert on my telephone inwards mornings is Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind." The start few notes of the vocal aren't the most soothing, but I similar waking upwards to it. Krista hates it. She HATES it. But again, does it actually matter? No, in all probability not. So she has learned to alive amongst it too it's non an final result whatsoever more.
4. Make certain y'all nevertheless brand room inwards your life for yourself. I play baseball game inwards the summer. Sometimes that agency tardily nights too doubleheaders on Saturdays. I volition never halt playing too Krista knows that, thence she gives me infinite too lets me practise my thing. Conversely, I know Krista likes to shoot her YouTube videos piece lonely inwards the apartment. I receive got no work amongst that, too I discovery a way to live on busy during that time.
