Congrats! The place looks great. Maybe she is part of the Punk Rock Boys Blankey Outreach Society, dedicated to improving the lives of our boyfriends. -Use a real blanket instead of an unzipped sleeping bag! -Buy a towel instead of drying off with a dirty old tee-shirt! -Get a slightly more adult bed rather than sleeping on a blood-stained second-hand mattress on the ground! -Sometimes you have to mop!!!
This month was the year anniversary of me moving in with a significant other for the first time ever. Overall, I rate it pretty positively. There were some unexpected downsides (maybe not even downsides per se, just stuff that was weird or surprising that I hadn't anticipated), but I certainly wouldn't go back. There's definitely a comfortable new level of intimacy that develops when you are happily living with someone, I've found.
i am always curious about relationship fights and what they are about, especially when i hear about it from people who my perception of them is that they are super laid back and don't get that angry about much stuff (e.g. YOU!). i don't know, it's always really hard for me to imagine them fighting -- what it sounds like, how they act, the whole deal.
maybe some people feel that way about me, too, because i don't get very angry that often. or raise my voice almost ever.
also daaaaaaaaaaaaamn re: 4.5 years. i didn't realize it had been so long. that is pretty damn badass!
truth be told, i tend to fight a lot in relationships. not like scary gross fighting, just bickery pointless fighting. i've only been in two major relationships ever, really, and both involved a lot of fighting. also, my family basically communicates exclusively through yelling, so that's part of the problem. and i tend to get involved with people with strong personalities

maybe it's just a tonal inference because i have read you more than spoke to you, but i always take even your most opinionated stuff to be said in a super measured, smart dude chilling out talking type vibe. conversational, but not timid. and the one time we did hang out you were super relaxed seeming! i guess it's all presentation, or something

i too like the cupcakes on the wall. decorating is more important than we often think it is.
and fighting isn't a big deal. me and my GF fight *all the time* and we've been together for 4 and a half years.
