Beware, when moving in with a woman… Just kidding, it will be the best move of your entire adult life. The house will look nice (most of the time), and your bathroom won't smell like a zoo. Bathroom shelves will topple from the weight of skin products, serums, and creams that your wifey will have placed on them, and the laundry basket will be permanently full.

You will find hair ties under the couch, in the sink, under your pillow… they will be everywhere, but will magically disappear when your lady actually needs one. Taking a shower together will always end in dispute, so you better get used to the boiling hot water now. Living with a woman is amazing, even when it's annoying. Scroll down to read about the funniest habits women apparently have according to their partners who love them so much it hurts. Then check out this female computational scientist who kept being undermined by her male coworkers, resulting in a total mess at work.

    ChittyShrimp 17 hr. ago That skincare was such a big deal. I think before I met my wife, I used to just use soap on my face, which almost gave her an an ysm. Meanwhile, she is using about 5000 products in the morning and night on her face (snail something was the strangest one). After 7 years together she managed to get me using cleanser and moisturiser. I still can't tell the difference. 856 Reply Share

    Update: Hindsight 20-20; thinking back when we were dating and all the times her home was reorganized perfectly before inviting me over to (reorganize her) perfectly, is nothing short of an astonishing amount of sheer will and determination. I should thank her for her hard work and dedication, then apologize for not noticing it sooner. I owe her a romantic dinner and a day at the spa. I love my beautiful disaster.

    INtoCT2015 16 hr. ago How much time and effort they spend curating style. The reason they call "shopping" a whole hobby is bc half the time they aren't even buying anything. They're spending hours just browsing (online or at a store) just concocting aesthetics in their heads and brainstorming new looks or ideas. Meanwhile I've been wearing the same 8 shirts and 8 pairs of pants for the last ten years. 920 Reply Share

    HeyItsMau 17 hr. ago I always thought, " I can't that night, I'm washing my hair" was a really lazy excuse some women used to get out of unimportant things (by the way, I think the media is partially to blame about this because the trope does seem to imply it's an excuse a la 'the dog ate my homework'). But after living with my wife, I realize that "washing my hair" is truly close to a 2 hour+ event that needs to be scheduled around for some. Although the hair washing and drying is long enough,
