Sure , sure , living with your S.O. is mostly the best .
It ’s like have a slumber party with your best friend every night of the week , with harebrained benefit . Like when you ascertain thatmen ’s deodorantsmells so much well and is 100 times more effective than cleaning lady ’s deodorant . Or always having someone there to serve you settle the uncanny smell in the electric refrigerator , check behind theshower curtainfor monsters , and pick up the mail when you forget for a calendar week . Every day unravels new and interesting layers to the human experience , and sharing your space with someone you love can really instruct you a few things about yourself .
For good example : It can really highlight the benefits you had while last alone . Like these .

Peeing with the door open
Those few supernumerary seconds you keep open by dropping trow in the hallway and piss moment afterward are precious . When you live with your S.O. , you have two selection . you could A ) go back to closing the threshold like a somebody who lives in society and make an attempt to keep affair cryptical and sexy ; or B ) pee with the door open and become " that duet that keep the threshold open when they go to the bathroom . " Lose - lose .
Being able to get dolled up without them being there for the whole process
The good part about casually dating is arriving to dinner totally gorgeous and deplume the " possibly It ’s Maybelline " or " I come alive Up Like Dis " magic thaumaturgy .
When you live with your S.O. , if you do get around to a date Nox , having them check you try on your SPANX and squatting in every clothes before deciding on the silver one kind of take forth from the minute of them seeing you in the final product . It ’s a little bit trickier to deplumate off the " wow " ingredient when your date knows there is a celluloid , shape - colored vortex bear your second joint in .
Being able to order Ben & Jerry’s for delivery and not having to justify why you are a garbage human to anyone
When you live with somebody , things you used to do without think about them suddenly make you ego - witting . For example : faking an ankle joint trauma to justify orderingBen & Jerry’sfor delivery . There ’s abruptly a large shining spotlight on your weird wont demanding you remedy them or stifle them deep , late down inside yourself and dwell a lie the rest of your life .
Ugh – love is HARD , you guys .
Being able to talk on the phone wherever you want, whenever you want, at any volume you want
I ’m a tatty verbalizer . It ’s in my deoxyribonucleic acid . No matter how many times I tell myself , " Jamie , it ’s a telephone and its whole job is to transfer your sound to the individual on the other end , " I still ca n’t facilitate but reflexively throw my angelic vox like a football game referee in attempt to reduce through blank and radio frequency and God eff WHAT kind of background dissonance the person on the other end is consider with .
This , I ’ve learned , does n’t make me that much fun to be around when I ’m on the phone .
But also , hey , hold back a minute , I experience here too , why do I need to leave the elbow room ? Why do n’t YOU leave the elbow room ! ? Know what I think of ?
Having to buy toilet paper two times less frequently
You ca n’t imagine the amount of supplies you go through when you add another body to your humble abode . Endless amount of can paper , newspaper towels , and tissue paper seem to evaporate into thin air . Every water cup you own willalwaysbe used and sit around with old pee in it and never , EVER be in the cupboard clean-living and look for you .
Sometimes I buy Chapstick in bulk and stash it under the mattress , just so I know it ’s there in case of emergency .
Space
I do n’t know why I did n’t see this one coming .
When someone moves in with you , you have to split all your blank in halfsies . When my S.O. first go in , he one solar day walked into the aliveness room carry all of my nail polish ( in my very practical nail polish bin ) and asked me , " Um . Where does this , like , go … . ? " and I was surprised . My response was , " Wherever you constitute it is where I keep it , OBVIOUSLY . "
It was then that I learned not everyone use the place beneath their coats , beside the vacuity , behind the step can as a nail salon . Is n’t life fishy ?
At the remnant of the real and metaphoric mean solar day , it ’s well to have your make out one with you than not . But if you have n’t made the big move yet , you relieve oneself with that door open and you enjoy the hell out of it . And when you do , think of us who have moved on into an albeit smaller but good place .
honorable luck and good dark .
