What are some things you've had to adjust to when you live with someone?
I think for me, bed time has required the most adjustment. I thought I snored like a freight train....WOW! He surpasses any sound I could ever make. These sounds are just non human. I'm learning to tune it out. He needs TV to sleep. Not me.
I read once that germs and residue can come flying out of the toilet when it's flushed. I have not kept my toothbrush out in the open ever since. He DOES! OMG mine goes in the make up bag far far away! I explained this to him and he believes that I am nuts. Me? He's the nutty one. If we tested his toothbrush, God knows what we'd find. Don't get me wrong, I know there's bacteria etc.I just don't want it coming from the contents of the toilet bowl.
Oh and I found a finger nail in the bed. Oh my!

Froggy... in time you will become immune to each other, as far as his snoring, maybe try something from the department or pharmacy store that can help that, men will mostly bend to your way of things it just takes time, BUT there are a few things they just won't or i'll just say "forget to do" on purpose, show your concerns, discussing differences in loving ways really helps.. remember you were both living single before this, adjustments will take place, meantime... hang in there lol

Seriously tho froggy just give it some time and looks for the good stuff and try to ignore the little things.It'll work itself out!!

I can tell ya what i am notorious for doing. I have a horrible habit of leaving the kitchen cabinet doors open. I have cracked more than one head on the corner of the door when doing this.
I completely agree with ya on the tooth brush issue! As far as the cap being on the toothpaste........i don't really care as long as i can brush my teeth. Besides i buy the toothpaste with the cap attached!

Two words: ACCEPTANCE THERAPY!!!
The quest to change the other partner not only doesn't work (a majority of the time) but to attempt to do so becomes messy. The basics of who we are just don't change that much.

Oh c'mon doc you saying you can't change a leopards spots? There is always going to be something about someone we live with that irritates us. It's human nature. Then again how dull the world would be if everything was perfect.
I kinda like the ying yang effect. Keeps the spark alive!

if everyone were like me, id be truly bored as for lovers, well, to get along with them perfectly, theyd be my buddy; i have those for commonalities; i like the quirks in my partners we always say we complement one another; what he's smart in, i'm retarded in, and vice versa
