I was single a long time and loved it.
Then quite unexpectedly, I met a man and things have been lovely.
I've been clear from the start, that I'll never live with anyone again and I think having our own space is one of the reasons it's going so well. I'm determined not to get to that place where I'm doing all the wife work, which will happen becuase that's my personality.
Tbf, I don't even think he wants to move in, we haven't discussed it, beyond me saying early on it won't happen. Although it might make some financial sense, it's not something I want to do.
However, he does spend quite a bit of time here. That's partly because I have the "better" house (location/space) but I'll have to be honest and say it's also because I like being at my house, having my things around me, using my kitchen, and not living out of an overnight bag.
So, I'm wondering about some small concessions to make him more comfortable, when he's here. A dressing gown that lives here? A cupboard where he can keep a few bits? I worry that I'll end up doing his laundry if he keeps clothes here though 😆
Sensible or a slippery slope? How long into a relationship would you expect these things to start happening?
