Clean house...

I like to think that I keep a really clean house. It might be in my DNA or the fact that I'm a Mo. But cleaning house is my thing. I have no need to feel manly and pull weeds from the yard or pick up the dog poo outside either. One thing since I moved in is that i feel like I live in John's house not our house. I want to ask the people who read my blog that are couples. How many of you live with your partner before you changed the house to the "our" status? Or is your home still the same way that you moved into. What about when you moved to another home, your first home. Did you have a say in what went where and the colors on the wall? We are thinking bout changing the house up.

Moving in to the bf's apartment can be weird because it's already "his". Kinda like he marked his territory. I'm not sure how to make it feel as if it's your home too. Maybe it just takes time or maybe it takes you drastically re-painting while he's at work. Move around the furniture a bit. See if he notices/cares.

As for moving in to a new place, it will be "your guy's" place so you should decide on how to decorate together.

well, spouse moved into my condo before we married. no problems there.

when we moved back to philadelphia from washington dc, we rented an apartment before we found a house we liked.

have you two sat down and discussed a change to the current decor, or a move to another place? and do you want to spend the rest of your life with john? and do you have the cash to afford an interior decorator?

have fun trying to decide!
