You guys are cute.
Wait until you have kids. It all changes. Womens bodies change during pregnancy. They fart and pee and poop, even when they don't want to.....sometimes they aren't even aware of it. Then there is the whole delivery thing itself. Nothing like watching a head come out of her va-jay-jay while her taint tears in half and she is firing poop nuggets across the delivery room knocking nurses over.... all the time you are trying to get her to "remember her breathing" while she is calling you a muther f--ker in front of everyone in there. Then a small purple alien with a cone shaped head comes out and you scream... "What the f--k is that?" All the time more goo is coming out of her and there is blood and poop and goo and..... and then the baby cries. And it all seems OK. Nothing like hearing that first cry. Of course then it doesn't shut the f--k up for the next.... welll..... it has been 10 years and the only time he stops talking is when his sisters are talking.......
But I am rambling.... where were we?
you are awesome!!!!
Yeah, we're not having kids. So this doesn't apply:)0 -
Farting.
There will be SO much farting.
Wait...are you telling me that's NOT really the dog?0 -
Oh, and I have to add, make sure you still get alone time. My husband and I have lived together for 4 years, married for almost 3 and we make sure to get time away from eachother. We discovered on our first week long vacation together that being together for the whole day for that many days is just too much together time. Mine has been going for runs/going to the gym, his is "playing" in the garage or fishing. It's healthy to still be able to grow as an individual and also as a couple.0

Lets see.. (This is after spending weeks with him at a time before I moved in)
1. He should have known I'm cold nature'd and WILL use a blanket on the coach no matter that the A/C is on 78.. I cool down quickly..
2. That my dogs shed.. they are short haired dogs.... get over it we clean the floors regularly. and NO I will not get rid of them..
3. That I have a lot of cloths- knew this already but still want's to complain about it EVEN THOUGH we have separate sides of the closets and I don't push my cloths over onto his side.. I don't see what the problem is...
4. I have always put the dishes in the sink after using them EVEN THOUGH the dishwashers is right beside the sink.. At least I don't leave them on the counters beside the sink instead of inside it.. I hate that he does this.. and then he is anal about me putting them in the sink instead of the dishwasher...
5. That he has a bad habit of leaving cup/dishes around the house... Really?
Other than those minor things that he already knew about- and sometimes mentions daily- its all good and peachy!0 -
I wish I had known that his dog farts more than any other living thing on the planet AND he insists on allowing said fart hog to sleep with us every freakin night...... :sick:
is said dog a boxer? My girls boxer farts and either it freaks him out, or even the dog cannot stand his own stink.
hahahahah made my day...
No she's a Boston Terrier. Cute as a button but her stink is lethal :frown:0 -
They use so much toilet paper!!!! I swear we go through a roll a day and I have no clue why. Guys don't wipe when they pee, right!!?
This too!! I used to get a 4 pk of toilet paper for myself and that would last me a good month or more. With him living in the house, we buy a 6 pk and replace it almost bi-monthly. WTH?0 -
Hmmmm....
*That his cooking and cleaning would absolutely cease!
*That when he said "he wants the kids to be kids" that meant you'd be doing laundry, cooking and cleaning (kids shouldn't have chores) for everyone in the house!
*That after work he goes straight to the couch and stays there the whole night!
*Two blankets is a must!
But there are things I knew he wished he knew first about me...
*Like I always like to be doing something....I'm not one to lounge on the couch all day!
*That I have to have a fan going at night in order to sleep!
*That grocery shopping with me is a pain because I read all the labels and whine about high fructose corn syrup in everything (this has led to supermarket arguements)
*That I am not okay with eating food that is in the fridge longer than a day (he'll eat it after a week....eeewww)
Soooo...we both are even LOL! There are just some things you won't know til you do live together!

I wish I knew the following:
cleaning: you better like doing it, lots and lots of it, and I mean LOTS
missing items: things mysteriously disappear, and then re-appear in obscure places
the remote: it will be permanently attached to his hand
sleep: get good ear plugs, and get your own blankets, unless you like waking up in the middle of the night without them
the bathroom/bathroom sink: it will be covered in itty bitty scattered whiskers, which get stuck in your clothes and/or underwear-happiness is 2 bathrooms, 1 for each person
money: talk about it now, decide who will cover which bills, I have found separate accounts is much easier
personal space: even though you are living together, I firmly believe that keeping an area that is 'all your own' be it a desk/room where you can write ideas/journal/do *your* thing is vital. You are still an individual, and need to keep something that is *yours*.
Best of Luck!
Some men actually clean up their wiskers properly. It took my first girlfriend to FREAK OUT ON ME about it to learn.
My wife and I have 3 accounts. Our personal accounts and a HOUSE account. We get an allowance in our personal accounts and all the rest of our money goes into the house account. It works awesome. Everything gets paid for out of that account, bills, groceries, dinners out, vacations, etc.
Where it works out really well is we don't see how much the other is spending for prezzies around christmas and I can lie about not going over our spending limit on each other, because I go over every year.:bigsmile:
*sigh* I freaked out, and continue to freak out on stuff not getting cleaned up or put back where it goes (shoes go ON the shoe rack, NOT in the middle of the entryway where I can trip on them)
he suffers from a 'selective hearing' disorder.
oh yeah, that's the other thing MEN ALL SUFFER FROM SELECTIVE HEARING DISORDER0 -

You sir, made my day.0 -
we have a rule, My girl and I. If we would NEVER fart on the first dates together, it is NEVER acceptable to do it now. We been together for 4 years and none of us has yet to break wind... er.. the promise!
Hubby and I simply excuse ourselves. It's respectful.0 -
you get used to the little quirks and learn live with most of them... or tell him about the major ones that u just can't live with and compromise on everything in between. I can't really think of anything at the moment because we have lived together so long and he doesnt have any major bad habits..... i'm sure there were things that annoyed me in the beginning, but it's all good now.0

We talked online for 1.5 years before we got married cause we lived in different states so I moved in with him after we got married which means I never got to get to know him in person til after we were married. We recently started having separate blankets on our bed after almost 5 yrs of marriage cause I am a blanket hog :laugh: Him being a vegetarian and a neat freak doesn't bother me :happy:0

So because my bf farts constantly in front of me (and giggles like a kid in a candy store every time) that means he doesnt respect me?
I find it incredibly hard to believe neither of you have never let out a little toot in front of each other. May not be noisy, but you know you did it. What about when you sneeze and accidently toot? Hmmm???
Edit: Unless you mean you excuse yourselves as in saying "excuse me". But either way, my bf doesnt do that, so I guess the respect thing still counts?0 -
That she was a pathological, lying, manipulative she-beast that would nearly destroy my sanity and ruin my life.
But it's ok. She's dead now.
Dad? Is that you?0 -
That he sweats like a mofo. So we sleep w/ separate blankets.
Bathroom nightmares! Facial hair on the sink. :sick: He cleans the bathroom because of this.
CLOTHES, CLOTHES, CLOTHES and piles of CLOTHES everywhere. I actually tried making him do his own laundry before. COMPLETELY FAIL.
Dishes.......... OMG....... can be everywhere!
Will probably never quit smoking.
Lol, I love this topic!0 -
I wish I would have known he was looking for a replacement mother. I didn't find this out till 2 years after we got married, because we really didn't live together before then due to the army.0
-
Make sure he knows that you poop. Not all guys are aware women do this.
Hahaha! My boyfriend calls me a ninja ..0 -
Daniel doesn't close things behind himself. Shelves, dressers, cabinets, doors, anything. And I'm extremely OCD. I don't love him any less because of it, but it drives me INSANE.
Also, I wish I knew that he would leave diapers laying around instead of throwing them in the trash can. He was on baby duty last night, and there are two diapers sitting at the end of Darcy's crib. Drives. Me. Crazy.0 -

HAHA... the baby diaper part <--- I am known to leave them behind. Can I tell you why? well, my reasoning for forgetting.. My baby is only 9weeks old and I still tune all my attention to him and forget to throw out the diaper 3 out of 5 times. I have been getting better but that's my story and I am sticking to it. :laugh:0 -
That really tall people untuck the covers with their feet because their feet hang over the end of the bed and that his habit of swearing vociferously when he's working on something would only get stronger with the years. All told, very minor annoyances. It'll be 25 years next month and we're still together. (Despite what his mother thought in the beginning! :bigsmile: )0
