Have you checked 'her' for big hands and an adams apple? wink

Oh, and tell her a 911.

Wow.

Some of you guys are just massively pussy whipped.

Me and he gf are currently in discussions about whether a supercharged MX5 or a stripped out WRX would be a better track car.

Ah well. If it means avoiding money being wasted on candles and having control of the remote it's a trade off I'm happy with.

There are only 4 pillows in this house. And they are all on beds.

Don't forget that having the boys over for an evening of poker/Xbox/PS3 will now be totally frowned upon. Even if she agrees, it means she will still be pissed off for the entire week.

Well...after over two years I'm finally moving in with my girlfriend at the end of this week. I've never lived with anyone before so I'd appreciate any advice on how to survive after living the single man's life up til now.....
Choose your battles wisely, you can't win them all. It is about compromise 60:40 normally you - She won't see it that way though. But if you love her it'll work, but now you get to see all the non made up and messy moments too and the mystery is gone. Make sure you and her both have a bolt hole in the house if a battle does blow up and sometimes saying sorry first is the best option.

Sounds a bit depressing when I read it back, but after 8 years of marriage it works.

If you put up shelving (and YOU WILL put up shelving) or pictures (of her family...yours no longer exist) make sure she is out, and make it last all day.
If you do it in an hour, her logic is you can (and will) put eight up next time in one day.
Blinds, coat hooks, mirrors, flat pack etc.
No space on your walls is safe mate, and don't think for a second that means less painting !!

She will "tidy" your stuff, which means finding some dark nook or cranny, which she deems suitable for "man stuff", and putting anything that displeases her in it. In a matter of days you won't be able to find a fking thing.
If you are stupid enough to ask her if she has seen something you've "lost", expect a long drawn out hunt around the house for it.
Don't expect it to be anywhere logical, women don't employ logic in these circumstances.

yes Put up a hook on the wall/in a cupboard for your car keys. The amount of times I have put mine down in my 'usual' place only to have found them in a random drawer somewhere later after they were tidied away. mad

Cushions, I know it's been said before but watch for the cushions.

Especially the ones on the bed.

And candles (but not on the bed)

And endless baths.

And her calling her mother twice a day.

And the job lists.
Hers - Do ironing, cook dinner, hoover.
Your - Redecorate entire house, landscape garden, build extension

Which will be followed up by the I've done everything on my list and you've not even started yours.
Blimey, I'm doing well. 6 years living together and not one of those applies... and she keeps asking if a V8 S5 or a 911 would be more fun when she can afford one....
How often do you need to do a puncture repair on her?, also doesn't she squeek when your in the shower/bath with her?
Also she cant go and get your pints at the bar!

Did you go for the blonde:


or the more lifelike brunette?

Neither. I went for the real thing. Still can't understand why she picked me. I'm sure she'll realise at some point!

Think about how much loo roll you'd get through in a year.

Buy that much per month.

You'll love living together.

I'd forgotten about that. Absolutely true, women get through an unbelievable amount of toilet paper.
It will be much easier if you go somewhere like Makro, and buy it by the pallet for her.
