35 Men Share Things They Learned When They Started Living With Women
Men still have a lot to learn.
Moving in with someone, whether it's your romantic partner or a friend, can drastically change many aspects of your life. For one, your living costs change, as well as how you handle daily tasks around the house.
More than just the basics, you also get to spend more time in each other's company and get to know one another on a level that most people may not experience. And, of course, when it comes to that, it's not always going to be all honey and butterflies.
With socks and dirty laundry lying around the house, along with unwashed dishes, there's a chance you'll exchange a few cold words and glances. On the brighter side, however, there are also plenty of opportunities to bond and learn from each other.
This is often the case when men and women move in together. While living on their own, they might think they have settled into their home routines, but once they start living with the opposite gender, that perspective can quickly change.
On Reddit, user Gerdaandemail submitted a question to the "Ask Men" community to discover what things guys hadn't known or realized until they started living with a woman, and it garnered plenty of interesting replies.
