u gotta deal with the little things. little querks that come with living with someone. petty stuff with how they wash the dishes, organize things, habits, etc. ive never lived with a significant other but its probably similar to living with a roommate except ur boinking them and share a bed.
i find that after being around someone for even just more than 24hrs, or overnight, that i have to have self time, i just have independant qualities sometimes.
sounds like u picked up a pretty pimp little pad there alan. hopefully i get the invite and we can housewarm in style.
