50 Unexpected Truths Women Raised Without Men Reveal About Life With Guys
I told her, the world is hard enough, a lot of men simply want something soft and loving to come home to.
I went from living with all women and working with all women to moving in with my, now husband, and working with all men.
They are so sweaty. All the time?! The gas. They burp and fart all the time?!
Once my husband came home from a workout. I had just cleaned our little apartment and had it all decorated super cute and he stomped up the stairs, took off his shirt and threw it in the corner, laid down on the bed I had just washed and made, and then burped.
I cried I was so stunned. He was very confused.
It has gotten better 😂😂.
This might be why the bathroom can feel like a surprisingly appealing place to escape. The draw is not really the room itself, but the chance to be alone for a while. When you sit down and close the door, no one asks anything of you. For people who need some time alone, this short break can feel very refreshing.
The stupid little tiny hairs that go absolutely everywhere when he shaves. And this is after he’s made a good faith effort to clean them up.
A study from the University of Padua in Italy found that past relationships and living situations can influence how couples split up chores later on. The research shows that marriage and living together often come with different ideas about who should do what at home.
People do not just share a space; they also bring their own ideas of what home should be.
Snoring. What is wrong with all men? Do you all have deviated septums? I don’t know what my brother and dad were like, we always had separate rooms. But I’ve had male roommates and they all snored, my girlfriends bfs would come over when I had girl roommates and they all snored. Like you can hear it through the walls it reverberates the house.
Also the amount of stomach issues they all have. Like you guys okay? Having diarrhea multiple times a week and blowing up toilets (and then not cleaning them) ain’t normal. .
It surprised me that my husband cleaned his own place but when we got married magically he seems to have forgotten how to use a broom or mop or vacuum.
That it was expected I would cook and clean. No conversation just an expectation. Truly horrific. .
Maybe the funniest part is that none of men’s habits come with an instruction manual. You simply move in, close the bathroom door, hear a strange noise from the kitchen, and slowly realize that your idea of “normal” has expanded a little.
Have you ever been surprised by a habit after moving in with a man? Which one caught you most off guard? Share your thoughts in the comments!
The lack of care for security. They would leave the front door unlocked or even wide open, and sleep on the ground floor with windows open. Kind of jealous that they didn’t have the same fear of intruders.
How much they don’t care about their health, specifically physical and mental health. Before we met, I don’t think my husband had a vegetable or went tot he doctor. I make sure he gets his check-up’s.
I once shared a small rental house (2 br, 1 ba) with a straight dude during grad school. He was kind of a gym bro, so his meals were very utilitarian: mostly tuna and eggs with toppings like mayo and picked peppers. After sharing a bathroom with him for a couple weeks, I decided I needed to teach him how to cook other things and eat vegetables that contain fiber.
How much space they take up. Not necessarily in a bad way. I just mean they’re not afraid to be loud, advocate for things that work best for them, do things on their own schedule or their own way.
I took some of these things into my professional life and it’s actually been quite helpful, but it reminds how differently men and women are socialised.
