Urban Legends
When people first discover that I live with my boyfriend they all react the same way. Their eyes glaze over, they emit a deep sigh and generally exclaim with great sentiment, “How ROMANTIC!” (Yes, in capitals)
Usually I respond with an indulgent smile. Let them have their delusions, everyone needs some hope for mankind. But sometimes, when for example I’ve had a particularly ‘ROMANTIC’ morning at home, I break into vigorous laughter tinged with rampant hysteria. I try to stop before they begin to edge away and talk soothingly of therapy.
Unfortunately this romantic concept of living together is shared by many who have never tried it. Its not all candlelight dinners (unless the electricity has disappeared again and you’re forced to eat cornflakes with wax dripping into it, again) and soaking together in bathtubs (what do you mean you forgot to put on the pump? Is there no water at all??).
The one sure way to kill romance sadly is to move in with it.

ah well you obviously know the wrong people. livng with someone is never romantic its having to see them scratch their bums in the morning and listen to them clearing phelgm...
Well...honestly...apart from the romance, the making out, the sex, the baths together etc....a live in relationship can only be success if you have team work...And this doesnt apply to cooking, cleaning etc...It applies to social visits, family visits, etc...Now the live in parts of my relationships have lasted one or two weeks max...but I have seen ppl who manage pretty well...and they were good teams...actually a man woman team is the ultimate team...coz no other team has sex too...yeah but all this team talk shouldnt make it sound dry and drab...I think its abt function...what are ur goals as a couple...?
hahaha @ madhu's comment.. team talk... "what are your goals as a couple?"
Unky fending. Have you found an answer though?
Happy new year
