Question for those who live with their spouses/BF-GF/partners, etc.: |
|
How have you changed since you began living together?
I haven't changed much in five years. I am still a slob. Still (how do I put it kindly) reticent to do housework.
I'll prob'ly have more later.
How about you?

1. Well, given that I've been living with him for over 13 yrs..... |
|
I'm sure I've changed somewhat since we moved in together.
For one thing, we've become parents of two kids during that time. THAT changes everything!!
'nuff said. :hi:

I have become more or less a shut in. I never go out anywhere, and the more i don't go out the more i am comfortable with it.
I am and always have been a very volatile person in public, and prone to trouble. So when i got married to my 1st partner and had kids i started to avoid public outings so i could steer clear of any potential trouble.
I have always had shut in potential due to various mental conditions of mine. But i used to overcome a lot of the fear with alcohol. Now i do not drink very much.

I'm sure I have changed - time and circumstances tend to change everyone to some degree - but I'm not sure how. Maybe I've mellowed a bit.

4. i guess maybe it's too broad a question... |
|
Like William Bloode, I, too, have become more of a recluse. I've always been introverted but before I moved to the east coast I had a large, busy circle of friends.

We have grown used to each others habits, etc.

He is a neat freak and I have raging ADD, so I would squirt the soft scrub in the tub and then move on to something else and come back three hours later to a hard plaster.
Since we've been together for 16 years now, we have moved a little closer to the middle each. He is not so obsessive about neatness and I am a lot neater.

8. LOL. Oh, believe me, I know I still drive him crazy |
|
I still leave mail in my car. I still leave my wine glass on the table, stuff like that.
I am just more aware of that stuff now and really do try to take care of it because I know it bugs him.
He must really love me to put up with me for this long!
:hug:

9. I become less slob-like, under pain of death |
|
Girlfriends and now my wife have had, uh, influence upon me.
I do a lot of cleaning now, as we split the labors.
It really is nicer to live in a clean house. My home office is a mess, however.

I'm more tired... but, that is likely due to our almost 3 year old daughter.
I eat more varieties of food now.
I went from a fanatic sports fan with a casual interest in politics to somebody who could care less about sports and a political fanatic.
