PostPosted: Wed, 23rd Sep 2009 03:59    Post subject: Moving in with my gf
So. First off some background info, I'll try and keep this as basic as possible.
End of january this year my gf's mom died. Her dad died two years ago.
At the time her mom died she wasn't living with her any more. Her 19 year old brother however was.
After her mom died she moved back in with her brother because, well he mght be 19 but he's nowhere near being able to live alone (well, back in february he wasn't).
So now she's living with her brother in her mother's appartment.
Her brother wants to move out (let's see how long it takes him to do that) and then, sooner or later, I'm gonna move in with her (I'm still living with my parents, rather pathetic at 23 but fuck, even with student loans etc. I couldn't afford a decent place on my own).
Since we kinda silently agreed on the fact that I'm gonna move in with her I just wanted to "probe the territory" and see how she feels about certain... redecorations (since most of the furniture, decorations etc. are from her mom).

And well, let's put it like this:
When I move in with her there isn't gonna be much of "my touch" in the appartment.
She's not agaisnt chaning stuff but I feel as if I might move into a done place which doesn't allow me to put some of my ideas regarding furniture etc. to work.
Then again, right now my room is about 2,40 metres by 3,60 metres (that's about 8 foot by 12 foot for you imperials out there Wink ) so it's not like I that much space to unfold myself here.
I know sooner or later I'll have to talk to her about it but it's just... well, stupid fear, I guess. Fear of how she reacts, fear of myself not wanting to move in with her (if that makes any sense), fear of moving in with her but being "caught" in a place that doesn't feel like home to me.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. It's not like I expect any of you to come up with _the_ solution bu I guess I just wanted to get it off my mind.
Of course I could talk to my friends and family about that but I guess you know the feeling that sometimes it's easier and better to talk to people you don't know about shit 'n stuff.

Stop being a pussy and start acting like a man!


Seriously tho, just toss your shit into a corner, sit into the most comfortable chair, put your feet on the table and grab a cold one. That's all a man really needs Very Happy

If you want to change the decor it's probably best done gradually; you have some stuff from your own room that you'll want to bring anyway, right? And later on you can buy new pieces together to replace the old.

ask yourself this...
do you have someone now to do your laundry?
do you now have someone to make you dinner?
can you wake up with a hard on and have someone take care of it asap?
can you walk around in your underwear and not feel bad?

seriously... the place is done...
you want to change it up... talk to her...
right now ease into the whole... morning sex... night sex... warm food on the table and clean sox every moning routine... then tell her to remove that ugly garfunkel painting and replace it with your own goatse picture...

stuff like that takes time.. just like anal..
if you got fast at it.. she's a slut and will do anything to taste shit on a mans cock
if she's a proper girl, she'll say no at first, then she'll say maybe and then she'll be riding your cock while you're vacuuming the house..

or better yet... tell her to make you a sandwich and if it's not up to standards one of her priced possession goes out the window... that way she learns to cook, to respect your rules and you can put your gay shit on the wall and stuff....

stop being such a girl... it's not like you have to wear her bra or something

this whole thread so far is tl;dr

moving in with a girl is not that big of a deal, you will find out pretty quick if you're compatible ... there's only so much space between you two in a flat right? doesn't mean it isn't worth trying out Smile

Hey, what's so wrong with living with your parents? I can do:

Now living with your parents at the age of ~28 or so, well that's a bit weird, but I've heard of it...

Oh and OT: you're making a big deal of it, all you need is TV and beer (comp is really optional, but I would bring that too Smile )...

man , it's her apartment , if she wants fuckin swatikas on the wallz you can't do jack about it , you're not married , it's only her territory
it's apparent that you grew too confortable with your own surroundings , and by the looks of it .. you're not ready to live with anyone else than yourself since it'll unsettle your ideas of comfort.

You're afraid you'll be moving in to a place where you don't/never will feel 'at home' because nothing is as the way you would like to have it? It will feel like living at a friend/relative's place. You might try to find out how your g/f feels about your input if you guys decide to do some 'IKEAing'.

Your only other option is to get your own place with all its costs/benefits but sooner or later it will come down to exactly this. Finding out whether you can live with some one besides yourself. Now whether you move in with someone like now or the girl moves in with you the result will be same. Both will have to make some adjustments in terms of lifestyle, furniture, etc.

this answer is so full of fucking bullshit I don't even know where to start.
If you could see my room you'd know there's hardly any "comfort" to be found (that's because my room is a wee bit larger than the average prison cell around here)
and the stuff she's got around that I would like to get rid of is basically all the kitsch of her mom's plus all those freaking cheey angel stuff her mom kept around.
To put it real basic: The stuff I don't like is her dead mom's stuff.
It's not the colors of the wall that unnerve me (her mom did a really good job painting those with borders and stuff, real cool - I'm cool with that) or the floor (she's got a nice wood-floor) it's her mom's stuff and her mom's furniture.
It's not like it's her's. It's all her mother stuff that's still around.

Let's see how long it takes her brother to move out anyway.

@inz:
see? that first post of yours? exactly what I expected (as are all answers basically so screw you Wink )

Well. Getting a house is defo easier if you gota well paying job.
Like I said, I'm living baiscally from student loans at my parents place because I couldn't afford an own place.
When I'm done though (in about 5 years or so) and I've got my master of science in computer science well, then I can think about moving to a nice house but till then, no luck on that end ;D

Riiight. I'm an asshole.
Excuse me, senor douchebag, but I was with her when her mom died.
I was there, in the hospital with her so screw you.
I was with her in her deepest grief.
Do you really think if I was an asshole that was with her mainly for the sex and not because I really love her, I'd have gone through that?
Again, screw you senor.
And you don't have the slightest how fucking many angels are around there pictures, figurines books about angels basically think about anything you could do angel related, she had that.
I don't care about that it's angels, I just can't stand the sheer amount of the stuff.
It really feels... kinda claustrophobic (for lack of a better word)
And btw. just keeping everything like it was before her mom died isn't really coping with her grief if you ask me.

Well if you absolutely refuse to speak gently about it with your gf, maybe ask some of her female friends about it.

That's what I did occasionaly, their friends often can be more insightful than I am with my male boldness Razz

lol ... they're not there cause they're angels angels... they're there cause her mum collected them and then her mum died... people do things when other people die... TA FUCKING DAH

go yell at her about the angels... go yell at her how it's lame and studpid and gay... then come back here if you're still in a relationship...

that thare yelling about how you been there for her and stuff... makes it all seem you've been there for her cause she was your girl at the time (and you feel like you wasted time, and are regretting it and trying to justify it)... and this here right thare shows how insensitive you arr....

im not trying to piss you off or anything, but it's stuff she collects cause of her dead mum... she's leaving stuff around to remind her of her dead mum... people cope with death differently... if you expect her to cope with death the way you do... it's lol

ps... grow up... you want the angels gone... tell her. simple. don't turn it into a spectacle... you're not more important to her than her already dead mother... fuckin egotistical asshole...


Ps. I'm only expecting a 24 hour ban... because i'm right and stuff and ummm this boys needs to be taught a lesson and should stop visiting 4chan. kthnxbye?

waldo's right, reklis. it's her mom that died, not some far-away aunt. take it easy and don't push the angel thing too far with her, if she's not receptive when you mention they're kinda stuffing the place up

I haven't even touched that subject and I don't intend to do so until the point at which I move in with her gets closer (again, not before her brother moves out and only god knows how long he's gonna need for that)
All this stuff I kinda "complain" about I haven't even talked to her about because I know grief and I know that shit takes time, I was there for her, I am there for her.


Would any mod around here be so nice as to lock or delete this thread?
If this goes on I guess it's gonna end bad...

@Waldo:
I guess in your head it looks like I'm running through the room looking all paranoid and shit and yelling "ANGELS ANGELS EVERYWHERE!!! AAAAAH!!!"
If that's what you're thinking you _are_ an idiot and to assume things about me is as accurate as watching porn and thinking about what good gf's the actresses would make.
You're not doing that, right?
You don't know me, you don't know my gf you don't know how either of us ticks so stop assuming stuff, ok?
