Among all of the big changes that have been happening in the Wilde household, the change in living situations is probably one of the biggest. For the past eight years, boyfriend and I have been a long distance couple. It did help that we've known each other for the past fifteen years and also that we were both so very busy while we were apart. Boyfriend was busy building his career and getting a great job, while I spent my time holed up in labs finishing my education.
Now that we are living in one household it's totally different. Good different! Not only are the living expenses cut in half (a great bonus), but sometimes I arrive home to discover the laundry I put in the dryer that morning has folded itself up and put itself away! The dishwasher empties itself and even dinner arrives without me having to lift a finger!
Now, I realize that boyfriend might have a bit to do with the amazing feats of housework and food prep (ordering) because these things never happened when I was living alone! Food covered dishes would just sit in the sink until I faced the music and put them in the dishwasher. Laundry would remain in the dryer until I tried to run another load, so that's where those pants were all week... Dinner would often be a bowl of lettuce that I would call a salad.
Living with boyfriend definitely has is benefits, most of all being, I get to see him every day.
