A lot of times when you hear someone say they live with their roommates you don’t typically assume it’s the opposite gender do you? Well, in my case, it actually is. I currently reside with my boyfriend and his roommate Chris. I can tell you living with the two of them has its good and bad days. Most of the time we do our separate things and go about our days but, other times when we have our moments the house aren’t always civil.

I come home sometimes and there is nothing done around the house. I come home to dishes in the sink, laundry from my boyfriend needing to be done, trash overflowing, etc. and there is only so much I can get done in one day. Being a full time student and a full time mom-to-be I have a lot of different tasks to accomplish. I don’t always have time to get everything accomplished in one day. Most of the time I feel more like a housewife/ maid than an actual roommate/girlfriend. This is quite frustrating because this was not what I signed up for.

When you have a conversation with your friends and you tell them for the first time that you live with your boyfriend and his roommate, the amount of weird looks and tilted heads are endless. I have had someone tell me that since I live with two guys that I get laid every night and that I’m a whore. Well, that’s not the case at all due to Chris being gay and also in a relationship. Chris and I can talk about different things that I can’t always talk about with my boyfriend, Tyler. I can vent to Chris about attitudes and traits that a male does and ask him why you guys do some of the things you do that can irritate the heck out of us women. He is always very open with the conversation and offers me some advice on how to deal with different things Tyler does as a man.

It’s not always easy living with two guys but it’s not always living with girls either. I would rather take the always leaving the toilet seat up over high jacking everything I own to be shared. It’s much easier to live with two good guys and they will tell you when you are doing awesome and yet when you need to cool off a bit.
