Moving in with my BF for three weeks! Help!

So I'm going to be moving in (temporarily) with my BF of 10 months while my house gets painted/ renovated. I'm really looking forward to it but I'm also really nervous. What if I need to do a number 2/ spend ages in the shower shaving my hairy legs or god forbid he sees the red mark on my upper lip from where I've just waxed my moustache! I know it all sounds trivial but we've never spent longer than three nights together so I feel like it's quite a big deal. It's also a great way to test the waters I guess if we make this into a long term thing! Did anyone else have these concerns when first moving in with a guy/girl? Or am I just a mad woman? Grin

I recently moved in with my boyfriend for 2 lots of 1 week when I was between houses - first week we were both on holiday and although I had a stinking cold and felt lousy we went out quite a bit. Then I went house sitting for parents for 2 weeks. Second week was normal work routine and and it simply confirmed to both of us that we never want to live together Grin.

We are both early 50s and both divorced after long marriages (I have adult children who share my home when they aren't working/uni) and both very happy in our respective homes. We stay at each others houses probably 4-5 nights a week (he comes to mine more often at the moment as I have a cat that I can't leave overnight as she's too old and gets upset) and have the remaining nights on our own. It works really well for us but, as I said, we are old(er) and no intention of taking things further Grin plus I lost my dignity years ago so don't give a damn about him seeing me shave my legs etc Smile

That made me laugh @Blobby10. Maybe living together will also put us off Wink.

Hopefully not @flossiewossie Grin. I love him dearly but he drives me round the twist if I see him every day - and I do drive him round the twist too! We can just about survive a ten day holiday but then need at least five days apart to regain our relative equilibriums 😂😂

I'm concerned about your no2 anxiety. I hope you're not planning to abstain for 3 weeks? ConfusedShock

Most men are aware women grow hair and take steps to remove where it's not wanted.

If he doesn't understand this you might be wise to consider not staying long enough for poo to be a concern
