A relationship isn't truly good until you can both rip ass next to each other.
Thats a test I bust out within the first week of dating. I never, ever will hold my fart for anyone, fuck that.
So we've agreed that whenever we live together again (i.e. she decides to move back to Iowa), she'll have her own room, and we can alternate sleeping in each other's beds. I know other people who have used this system successfully.
This has been the most successful way Ive ever lived with a partner, for sure.
Between work and hanging out it's honestly rare that I come home and have my bed to myself. A lot of times my girl friends will sleepover (and stay for DAYS), and i guess i grew up always sharing everything anyways (shared my room AND bed with my aunt and sister) so that doesn't bother me, so as long as the person can leave me alone for a couple hours while I surf the internet or listen, music, and sleep. Like honestly, the only that that makes me cranky as fuck when someone is over my house is if they wake me up when I'm trying to sleep (which happens all the time) or like when I come home and need a nap but I have to entertain needy friends.
I dont have a damn problem telling anyone they are over staying their welcome. I expect and want the same treatment from my friends. Dont get me wrong, I'll feed em, fuck em, give em a place to sleep, shower, shit etc. But the second its time for someone to leave, they know. Like I said, I know how it is, and want the same treatment. Hospitality when its genuine, but not when its self sacrificing to the host.
Are you people incapable of living with the opposite sex? Or do you just date super clingy chicks who wanna spend every moment together?
Its possible Im incapable of it since every chick Ive lived with has pushed me out of the fucking door. (Not literally, just by the circumstances).
Im the kind of person that needs something enticing to keep me interested. When Im in a relationship and I move in/partner moves in, shit gets too comfortable, boring and stale reaaaaaaal quick.
Im sure once I meet someone who keeps me interested it wont be an issue, but once you live together, its natural that your personal schedules become intertwined and the bag goes over the head.
Maybe I also need to try dating a woman thats independent for once. That would be nice.
