Is Anyone Ever Truly 'Ready' for Cohabitation? - electric toothbrush for couples

When my landlord decided to kick me out last fall, my boyfriend was moving (
I spent thousands of dollars renovating the apartment she technically owned, all without her permission).
On the benefit of expulsion, I see a message: The universe wants me to live with my boyfriend ---
In a place with dimmers and proper taps so I don't have to hire an electrician and plumber without a license to install them.
My boyfriend agreed.
Some people might say it's a "slip, not a decision" to cohabit.
But even after living alone for ten years, I don't feel the need to spend hours weighing the pros and cons of living together.
If any, I 've been on the traditional path of love since my boyfriend and I divorced, and I'm excited to "live in sin ".
"It's new for both of us.
I don't think it's all that serious, and I don't think it's a huge leap forward towards engagement.

The free woman will change her view of me, and shacking up offers a great opportunity to spend more time with the person who made me very happy.
Had the opportunity to hang my entire wardrobe next to him, share an electric toothbrush, and take turns to engrave silly messages with each other on our misty mirror.
I did not bother to analyze the situation except for these hypothetical allowances.
That is, until one day I found myself crying for a service kit in the kitchen.
A few weeks after we moved
During the appointment, I went to bed to take a shower for some cooking necessities.
I am intoxicated in love and happy to cross so much from the endless list of shit, buy for the apartment, whether it is my heavy purchase or the rainy weather, can not let me in
Before unpacking the package, I texted my boyfriend: "Wait till you see everything I had for us at BB & B!

Related: he said, how to move in together, still love each other afterwards.
"All but these things need to go back.
Then, as soon as he waved, he said, "That's the spoon of your choice?
"Scared to tears, I wanted to scream: I saved you from an annoying shopping trip, and that's how you thanked me?
I trek in the rain for you!
I changed the f * cking financial district to you with Soho!
Instead, I continue to cry when I put the purchased thing back in a huge plastic bag.
Most of the time, I am disturbed by the sudden reality check: What may happen now is judged to have picked the wrong spoon.
At that moment, I realized that I had lost something precious without expecting it ---
Completely independent.
I never needed to discuss every detail of my life with anyone, including the spoon I used.
The idea of continuing to do so seems overwhelming.
Are I ready?
Should I think about it more carefully?
No match for tap water, my boyfriend stopped me halfway
Pack and apologize.
"I hope to buy everything for the house together," he explained . ".
His confession removed my fear.
Yes, from now on, I have to make a decision by someone else. -
Just because someone wants to go home with me.

Cohabitation is a big deal.
It's always a gamble because you can't predict at all what it would be like to blend your life with the life of another person.
It may be wise to do it carefully, and there are a lot of preventive cohabitation investigations that warn you of any problems.
But in an era when almost every couple is together, it is important to take into account that the most important question is not just "have you discussed finance ? "?

"But," Have you really considered the fact that you will live with others, whether you are ready or not?
"Do you think I'm alone? Hardly.
Here are some of the more real cohabiting revelations: my finacé thinks I'm not clean enough.
I 've been better since we were together, but at the end of the day, he's the anus and I didn't notice the tiny dirt and dirt that made him crazy.
Interestingly, when it comes to chewing tobacco, my negligence is in his favor.
The man fell asleep chewing tobacco in his mouth all the time and it was all over our sheets.

The challenged housewife thinks one of the main benefits of living with my boyfriend is that I will have a man to build, repair and install things.
But a few months later, we became the graveyard of the Ikea accident.
I have learned to confiscate assembly instructions before Sam tries to follow.
