7 Things You Learn When You
Start Living In With Your
Partner
W
hen you and your Partner move in together after marriage,a lot of changes and planning you
two make. Living in with a partner helps you
learn a lot of things, not just on the emotional front but
mentally and physically too. You learn how to adjust with
someone and how to deal with each other’s parents. But
most importantly you learn about each other’s flaws and
strengths and start respecting each other as a person.
You Life Revolves Around Adjustments And
Responsibilities
Right from sharing
the room, cleaning the house,
washing dishes,
buying groceries
and cleaning your
clothes, living in
brings with it a lot
of adjustments and
responsibilities.
Things that you
never
bothered
about at home
would now be a
major concern. In
fact, most of your
weekends would
now be booked for
sorting things out
and looking after
managing the home.
You Learn To Respect Each Other With Their
Flaws
Sometimes meeting someone isn’t enough to know everything about them. It’s only when you start living with
them that you understand them as a person, wh at their
habits are, how they deal with crucial issues, how confident are they with financial decisions or general life
decisions. Most importantly, you learn the concept of
privacy, personal space, dealing with their ego and their
bad temper.
Getting Comfortable About Personal Hygiene
Living together makes us understand a lot about each
other’s personal hygiene and habits. More than understanding, you actually become more comfortable and
understanding towards each other’s hygiene related
problems. You feel more confident sharing your problems with them, no matter how awkward you felt initially.
Getting Along With Each Other’s Family And
Friends
The moment you decide to move in with your partner,
not just does your life change, but how you are going
to be perceived by her family and friends too changes.
Same goes for your family. So when either of your families or friends pay a visit, you become more accommodating. To be honest, somewhere your compatibility also
depends on how you guys behave around each other’s
friends and families.
When
Sharing
Becomes
The
Part And Parcel
Of Life
By sharing, we don’t
mean only sharing
cupboards, rooms or
bathrooms. Your favourite T-shirt will become your girlfriend’s
favourite too and you
will see her wearing
that a lot. Sometimes,
it might annoy you
when you run out of
clothes, but the best
part is that you won’t
complain about it. In
fact, you will secretly
smile at the fact that
how beautiful she looks in your boxers and t-shirt.
You Learn To Deal With Each Other’s Anger
Living with someone is not just a compatibility test but
an anger management session too. When you get to
know something new about each other, things often go
unplanned. There will be days when you won’t be happy
about her doing things in a different way. But at the same
time, you would learn how to not blurt out or show your
anger on small differences. You would rather sit and talk
it out.
You Understand The Strength Of Your Relationship
Lastly, you understand the importance of ‘we’. You get
to analyze whether your relationship will work or not,
whether there is any scope. What’s more, after living
with your partner for a couple of months, your expectations from your relationship also change.
