Moving in regrets
THE words ‘let’s move in together’ can sound a death knell for an otherwise OK relationship, and before you know it your heaven becomes your hell, your Genesis your Revelation. No one knows why people change so drastically when they move in together, but the experience is usually an eye-opening one.
Dennis, 37:
I wouldn’t say it’s change, I think they become relaxed, comfortable, and drop the nice, good woman act. I don’t know of men doing this, but I have heard of a few women.
Zenorah, 29:
My ex-husband and I were better off as lovers and friends than living together. Certain things he did got to me. When I was living on my own and he came over he was very neat and willing to help out around the yard, but when I moved in with him, there were times when the grass grew to knee height and he wouldn’t cut it unless I kept talking about it.
Chad, 26:
My present girlfriend suggested that we live together and I agreed. Do I regret it? Yes. She is unbearable, miserable, nagging and controlling. I’m not going to say she wasn’t like this before, but now that we live together it has increased.
Karamel, 31:
See mi an come live wid mi a two different things.
Delroy, 34:
I had a girlfriend move in with me and did a complete 360 on me. Before she moved in with me, whenever I went to visit her, she was always cleaning her place and spent time cooking big meals. About a month after moving in with me the woman I knew disappeared. She told me that she would only be cooking a few times a week and she wouldn’t be cleaning every day. I thought she was joking until I realised how serious she was. Clearly we didn’t last long.
