What was it like first moving in with your spouse?

1. Apparently I don’t clean the floors enough.

2. We already pretty much lived together anyway. Always in each others place so didn’t feel much of a difference by that point.
   We already knew how to live with each other.

3. It… snuck up on me. In retrospect, she moved in on the second date. Once we started dating, she never slept another night at her own apartment.

   So when we got a place together, nothing actually changed, honestly.

4. It teaches you about all the things you’ve been doing “wrong” for all these years.

5. Weird because it was into the same apartment that I lived in with a different woman years before. The neighbors were confused.

6. It was difficult at first. We moved in after nine months of dating (she bought a house, I wasn’t on the mortgage). We quickly learned our idiosyncrasies and things got these at one point, but we’re still together (in a different house).

7. Pretty chill I’d say.

8. It was quite an adjustment for me. My wife was brought up very spoiled and was use to be looked after, it took several months to adapt comfortably. I was a bit of a neat freak as I was in The US Navy 6 years prior to our marriage, we both made concessions. After a year, We were quite comfortable and happy, that was 30 years ago and we’re still married happily.

9. I’m a **MAN**. Women want to move in with me.

10. Ridiculously easy. Within a couple of weeks, it felt like we’d lived together our whole lives.

11. Learning personal space is hard, you gotta remind each other that it’s new and you’re both still adjusting. Everyone has different boundaries and different ways of doing stuff. I like to follow a strict schedule, she’s impulsive. I like having a very clean house, she doesn’t mind a little mess. When we keep communication open, things are all good.

    Just don’t leave the toilet seat up.

12. There is a saying, never date your flatmate at university.
    Myself and my ex (broke up 2 years after uni) did exactly that. We lived with each other since day one. It felt quite natural and overwhelming at the same time.

13. You’ll hear a lot of “you don’t spend enough time with me” even when spending everyday together.

14. Lol found out she talks in her sleep so scared the shit out of me.
