One small step for man, one giant leap for Candi....

So J has moved in. I mean, he was there over half the time anyway - but yesterday we were thinking he should just start living there full time. Scary shit. First time either of us have lived with a partner. And we've only been together for 4 months. We're both a little nervous and apprehensive at sharing a space all the time - mostly cos its new and that makes it scary. And a bit exciting. He also mentioned feeling slightly weird over the fact that he has come into my space - but then its just for a few months (well, till near the end of the year - when we will find a flat that is also dog-appropriate).

Ive never had to share a room before. Im not an only child, and Ive been flatting for a while, so Im used to sharing in general - but not my own personal space. But fingers crossed that we can do this. And as long as we keep our communication open and honest - we should be ok. His mum and stepdad are super supportive too so thats nice.

And hopefully we dont drive Hayley nuts. We were acting like children yesterday having silly arguments in the kitchen (the "theres another loaf of bread", "well youre a loaf of bread" type of arguments lol) - to which she said "and my mother wonders why I dont want kids..." lol. Luckily she is awesome and easygoing so hopefully it all works out nicely :)

Nah, I love you guys and your silliness! :) Feel free to adopt me and my cats when you find a dog-appropriate flat. ;D Don't forget to check that you can have your unicorn there with you, too.

I personally found sharing my bedroom with another human really easy and really hard at the same time, so I wish you the best of luck with it. :) I'm never ever going to do it again - separate bedrooms all the way!

Ok thats good then haha - cos theres bound to be plenty more silliness :)

oh man we have to find a flat will take a dog, diesel, a unicorn and me and jeremy. sounds like a losing battle.....

so far its ok. he doesnt have a lot of stuff which is good. but i feel guilty taking up all the space so am trying to create little spaces for him to put stuff haha :)

Once you move you wont have established places to put things, so you'll both have more even space. I find that living with other people stops you from having really dumb fights and generally makes a relationship more stable; totally contrary to start-of-relationship-logic which dictates that alone together must be better.

Yeah thats true - more space will be good

Yep living with Hayley is good - tho not necessarily for her - especially not when he wakes up with me at 6am and doesnt really use his 'we're awake at 6am when the rest of the world is sleeping' voice... hehe

Alone together all the time would be harder to start with I reckon - this eases us into it...
