Earlier this year my significant other and I decided to move into the same apartment for the fall semester after being together for two and a half years. I imagined it to be this wonderful step into a more serious relationship. Well after the first couple weeks I learned that living with your boyfriend is hella fun but also can be like a war zone.
Living with a boy is such a new experience and below are a couple of things I went through.
1. No unpacking for the first two weeks
Since it’s a two-bedroom place, and you’ve already made your room into a comfortable nest-egg, your boyfriend feels no need to set up his room due to the fact that your room is already set up.
2. Video game fiascos
Video games are awesome but watching your S.O go ballistic towards the television because he’s losing makes you feel better about when you have your own emotional break downs over nothing.
3. Unlimited Booze Cart
You will always have booze in the apartment!! Liquor and beer and cider (My preference of course) will always be stocked for any occasion. Bad days at work will be much easier with a glass of wine in hand.
4. The Toilet Paper Wars
Running out of toilet paper. You think you have enough, but in reality, both of you will be wrestling over that last roll and who would be going out to go buy more. You’ll never forget the day you run out of toilet paper and have to sit and wait for your S.O to save you and purchase more T.P.
5. Breakfast Buddy
Having breakfast ready for you when you hop out of the shower on weekends.
Best feeling ever when your boyfriend makes you waffles and a smorgasbord of breakfast food and makes sure you’re fed before the day begins.
6. The Clingy Cuddler.
I love snuggling just as much as the next person, but after two and a half years of sharing dorm beds and futons, a gal needs her space to breath. A person of my particular petite stature has been accidentally choked on occasions in her sleep, so you can see why I find cuddling a wee bit dangerous.
7. The Pet Robot.
When your S.O insists on purchasing a Roomba vacuum all for the sake of telling the “Hold on I need to feed my pet” joke, and “throwing crumbs at it…” I guess a self-cleaning robot isn’t so bad.
8. The Work-Out Day-Dreamers.
Where both of you agree that you should start a workout routine, but neither one of your school schedules or work schedules sync up. Then both of you end up never going to the gym but snuggling on the couch after 11 p.m. watching Netflix re-runs.
