35 Men Share Things They Didn’t Know They Were Doing Wrong Until They Started Living With A Woman
Whether we're talking about romantic partners or just really good friends, moving in with someone can dramatically change a relationship. The two of you not only get to lower living costs, but also spend way more time in each other's company.
Sure, with all the socks laying around the house, there's a chance you'll exchange a few cold stares and words. But there are also plenty of opportunities to bond and even learn from one another.
A recent Reddit post by user Gerdaandemail is an excellent example of that—he submitted a question to the 'Ask Men' community, trying to learn what guys hadn't known or realized until only after living with a woman and got plenty of interesting replies.
From organizing your wardrobe to proper self-care, continue scrolling and check out some of the most popular ones.

ALWAYS HELP WITHOUT ASKING. It’ll save your entire relationship/sex life/cuddle life etc. If you say “Do you need help?”(chores etc) she’ll say “No I got it” and it’s logged as the first resentment cut of a thousand. Don’t ask because you think it’s polite, just do it. There, saved you a divorce.
Andy Acceber 3 years ago
Just a reminder: It's also a lot of work and mental stress to plan chores. If you're constantly asking your partner "Can I help?" or "What can I do?," that means you've already tasked them with organizing and managing the projects. "Sometimes" is nice. "Always" becomes overwhelming fast. Relieve some of that stress. Without asking, figure out what needs doing and do it.

ESPECIALLY if the tasks that are to be managed are very, very obvious and really don't need pointing out.

Let's expand on this a bit. Offer to help if she is already in the middle of something and its.something that can be easily shared. Do not offer and just do it if you see that it needs to be done. So, taking the chores example, offer to help of she is washing, you should dry. Don't just waltz in and take the sponge. If she's doing some other chore and you see that the bin needs emptying, don't ask, just do it.

We need to remove the idea of men "helping" women with chores or housework. It's doing your share. If you see something that needs to be done - do it. "Helping" implies that someone else is in charge.

"Do you need any help?" compared to the two of you doing it together as equals - they're not the same thing at all, are they?

Say at work, there's 2 of you employed to do the job. You're stacking shelves, for example. You're stacking those shelves while your co-worker just plays a game on his phone. You're huffing and puffing away and your co-worker says "Do you need help?". "NO!" You scream. "I need you to DO YOUR SHARE".

I have been the only one cleaning for the last two years the whole house by myself bc my husband has been having problems w his wrists. We stopped w our cleaning company during the pandemic and my daughter is not home or whatever. I cook all meals too laundry garden etc and let me tell you it's horrible. It does foster resentment. A few weeks ago I hired a someone to clean again. The stress off of me is incredible. I get hello fresh delivered a couple times a week too. Very easy to throw together and cook when I'm really busy and it's all healthy

Damn i relate to you so badly. I do everything at home despite being ill because my partner works 40h. But he is so used to it that he also does nothing in the evenings, weekends or holidays. They really take one for granted. We are going to get a cleaning person asap to help me (I still need to do a lot but ok).

Joking aside I’ve learnt a lot of good stuff, like caring for various things. For example how to properly store fruits and vegetables so that they don’t go bad, how to take care of textiles/clothes so that they can be used for longer etc. Also that I didn’t eat nearly enough fiber before. Loads of things. People say that their girlfriends nag a lot but honestly there’s a lot of good stuff to be learnt if you just listen.

After Bored Panda reached out to Gerdaandemail for a comment, the author of the viral post agreed to take some time out of his day for a quick chat about what inspired him to explore this topic.
"I was taking care of some household chores when it struck me that several of the things I did, my wife had taught me or helped me improve," the Redditor recalled.
"Specifically, I was doing laundry and got thinking about how I used to ruin my clothes by ignoring the laundry instructions. My wife has helped me take care of myself in so many ways, both mentally, physically and practically, and I was wondering if anybody else had the same experience."

Lived with a girl who did the whole toilet seat thing So, I'm a boy and lazily left the seat up. She told me that I needed to leave the seat down (and lid up). She was adamant that this was the right way of doing it. But she is wrong Let's get this absolutely clear: the lid needs to be down at all times, when not in use

Exactly. And also: I don't know if I'm particularly clumsy but I manage to yeet things across the room (hairbrush, make-up...) and I also have a small cabinet above the toilet. I don't know how many times things have fallen to the ground from the cabinet. If the toilet lid was open I would have to fish those out the toilet. Not a cool experience, I guess...

When the mother came home, the father had the mother watch the little tea ritual, as her daughter brought the father another cup of tea (water) and he drank it. The mother said, “Very nice.

Even though more couples are living together than ever before, according to one study that took a closer look at 192 young people in their late twenties, the motivation for men and women to share a place are different.
"We found that responses varied by gender much more than they did by race or ethnicity, suggesting a substantial gender gap in the perceived role of cohabitation in the union formation process," said Pamela Smock, a sociologist who directs the University of Michigan Population Studies Center, part of the U-M Institute for Social Research (ISR).
She conducted the study with Penelope Huang of the University of California Hastings College of the Law, Wendy Manning of Bowling Green State University, and Cara Bergstrom-Lynch of East Connecticut State University, and discovered that overall, three key reasons for living together emerged: wanting to spend more time with one's partner, wanting to share life's financial burdens, and wanting to test compatibility.

Never EVER Use Guest Towels For ANYTHING ! (This Includes You Too Guests !)

I learned this one the hard way after someone used one of my fave towels to mop up a cleaning product. Even after being washed, some of the chemicals lingered and my face broke out in hives from one use. Years later, my hubs has rules about towels I the kitchen - one for counter, one for dish drying, one for hand drying. They’re all of different styles/absorbency, and kept in different spots so we don’t confuse them.

That's my partner, before I moved in he'd use the same towel for drying himself, the bath, the floor, the dishes, the pets, the car... while having DOZENS of brand new towels and cloths in the cupboard! I had to resort to infant school techniques and get lots of hooks and colour code and label everything!

Ok I get that some people like to have their homes presented in the "correct", "Better Homes & Gardens" way and they have hand towels, face towels, bath towels, dish towels, etc. Not only that but each different category has a set with a color scheme and its just so much. The thing is, if people could actually use most of them it wouldn't be such a pain. But certain ones are "for looks" or "for guests" (oh yeah I forgot about the whole guest towel set). And heaven help us if we actually use one because it will end up being the wrong one. The only towels I keep separate from one another are the bathroom towels/rags and the kitchen rags. So much simpler.

But the way men and women put forth these three goals differed quite a lot. Women highlighted "love" as a reason to live together three times as often as men did, while men cited "sex" as a reason to live together four times as often as women did.
Both men and women saw cohabitation as a temporary state in which to gauge compatibility, but women saw it as a transitional arrangement preceding marriage, while men tended to see it as a convenient, low-risk way to see if a relationship had longer-term potential, using terms like "test drive" to describe the arrangement.
The strongest gender differences, however, emerged in the perceived disadvantages of cohabitation. Women believed that living together meant less commitment and legitimacy than marriage, while men saw the greatest disadvantage as their shrunken freedom.
Despite the mismatches in motives and expectations, Smock noted that young adults appear to see cohabitation as an expected part of life. "Ultimately, the clearest message was that living together is very much taken for granted. As a result, the upward climb in the proportion of young adults who cohabit is likely to continue for some time," she explained.

I never learned how to pay attention to, comprehend and express my feelings. Especially the emotional-gooey-feely ones, but also when things would bother me, so I wouldn't work on things when they'd bother me, I'd just...leave. As in, the relationship. So through many years of ruining things, much heartache, and painful growth, she had the love and patience to not only see that there was potential in me, but also to not give up on me. I had the emotional tenderness of a brick basically. It took hitting rock bottom to understand that if I didn't learn to do those things, Id lose the best thing that ever happened to me. If it wasn't for her, I'd be in a drunk in a ditch somewhere, probably alone. Now I'm only sometimes drunk, completely happy and in love in a functional relationship. She's basically a Saint for putting up with me having been emotionally disabled. And the gift thing: well, there is joy in giving to others and seeing how much happiness she would get from seeing people's reaction to gifts made me stop wanting to keep her from doing so, stop being selfish and lean to take joy also in making my friends and loved ones happy about a thoughtful gift. I was an emotionally dysfunctional man, after living with her, I'm less like an actual porcupine and more like a plush toy porcupine.

She opened the door but seems like you did a lot of work on yourself. That's great and needed. We need to bury the idea of men "shutting down" emotions or that showing them is a sign of "weakness". For the sake of both men and women. I've seen so many men suffer in silence because they think they need to, and relationships break because it's lacking that key element of trust and intimacy of showing emotions. (I know I generalize, I know not all men and not all women)

Same thing here. Hubby had not learned to be emotionally available, that just caused issues, and not affectionate AT ALL. He also, in spite of the many, many times I have asked, begged him to be more affectionate, and he never ever, comes out of his comfort zone. So, unless I initiate the affectionate behavior, I don't get any hugs or touches or anything. He broke my heart. So, had I known this at the start of the relationship, I think, I would have given it a let go. His mom, put on a good show. His dad, totally un affectionate. Me and mine? The complete opposite. I feel gypped and hurt. He is a good man and husband. Just, not willing to change, and be affectionate.

I love and can totally relate to the "only sometimes drunk" bit. Often times, when people specifically mention alcohol in their "low points" or "rock bottom", it ends with them swearing off drinking and... uh, I guess finding something else fun and relaxing to do on a lazy weekend while I'd be drinking. Of course, I know that this is usually because they're the kind of person who can't drink casually - all or nothing deal - but it was kind of a happy surprise to hear you go "Yeah, sometimes I still get drunk and hang out and have fun, and I'm happy and healthy." I liked the porcupine bit too.

Every time I have ever "opened up" to a woman it has been the end of whatever romance we had or might have had. Being an emotional man causes women to see you as weak and unworthy.
I'm Kid A 3 years ago
If a woman sees you trying to openly and honestly communicate your feelings and she responds by insulting you, shutting you down or dismissing you... she's the "unworthy" one. But you also have to make an effort to communicate those emotions in a healthy way. If you fly off into a rage or run off and wallow in a pit of despair and self-hated, that's counter-productive and doesn't give her an opportunity to reciprocate and communicate with you. We definitely all have moments where we "go off the rails" a bit, but you have to make sure that you display, discuss and address the majority of your emotions in a healthy and respectful way. If you sit down and say "I feel such and such about this or that" and turn it into a discussion but still get a negative response, she's probably the one that's effe'd up, not you. Your emotions are valid and should be treated with respect. Showing emotion in a mature and responsible way is one of the manliest things you can do.

Bed Sheets. I used to cheap out, but pampering yourself in nice bed sheets makes it feel like you're staying at a fancy hotel every night.
Susan Kiser 3 years ago
We took our bedroom pampering to the next level. We stayed at a hotel for a bike event where I was cohosting on a biker radio program and we both slept so well on this mattress. So when we got home and had a bit to recover from that I called the hotel and asked about their mattress because we slept so well. The owner called me back and told me it was a Serta. He then tells me that if you go to Serta and look there is a tab about hotels mattress or similar. He said I tell them the hotel and they can tell me exactly what mattress we had and we could order it! Who knew!!!! So I called the hotel division at Serta and got our mattress, a 9inch box spring, 2 free king hotel pillows, free delivery and set up. Free haul away of old mattress and box spring. Then to Sam’s Club and Walmart pillow covers mattress pad bellagio pillows and best sheets. Amazon 2.5 inch memory foam pad and black metal bed frame so large totes can slide under it

Returning to our topic, Gerdaandemail thinks that men learning something from a woman isn't necessarily a question about genders "but rather how one relates to new information from a person who is different from oneself."
"Chances are that your partner and you have different interests that have generated different pools of knowledge that can be used to contribute to the relationship," he said.
"As someone who has vastly better conversations" with his wife than with most men, the Redditor also believes that men and women can definitely "speak the same language" and understand each other.
"In my opinion, good communication has its roots in mutual respect, interest, and willingness to learn and listen. Gender is far too blunt a tool to distinguish between good or bad conversationalists," he added. Which is a perfect reminder that if you've been with someone who you feel didn't really get you, it wasn't proof that you can't find common ground with the opposite gender. Maybe you just weren't compatible.

How good it feels to keep my home organized and clean. After living with my now ex-wife for six years, I can’t help but do deep cleans for my mental health.
I really appreciate a solid vacuum cleaner, I feel better keeping wires off the floor, I’m proud of my undersink collection of cleaners and spare sponges (change out your dishwashing sponges 🧽 regularly!), I loaded up on 30+ microfiber cloths from Home Depot so I’m never without a way to clean up dust/messes, and I Konmari the sh*t out of my belongings on a regular basis for great relief. 😮💨
Also I appreciate:
tissue boxes in every room
Rugs next to the bed
Every thing must have a home
Matching furniture has a subtle but powerful effect
Art on the walls does look nicer in frames, even dirt cheap frames from IKEA
Hiding cords feels good (combined with easy access for inevitable fiddling)
Taking out the trash feels as good as pooping
NsG 3 years ago
There's a thought process that states something along the lines of men don't appreciate (or see the need) for the comforts of a home until they marry (it's an *old* thought). Basically, men see their house as a functional place only. As long as it has a roof and a bed, the rest are fripperies. And then he gets married and his wife turns the house into a home, full of creature comforts (this also often comes across as the "nesting" that many women do in their eighth month of pregnancy). And now men understand the importance of rugs, and artwork. This still plays out in the stereotypes of bachelor pads. While 4+ extra pillows on beds (nope, no idea what that's about) are also the source of satire and parody, soft furnishings DO have a positive impact on the emotions. Their function is often overlooked, and I can't help think it's related to the "men can't be soft" idiocy.

Get a Tempurpedic mattress. No motion transfers and you can literally jump on it without your partner feeling it.

My to-do list acts this way. Laundry has three check boxes next to it, and I'm not allowed to fully cross off the laundry task on a day until all three have been completed. I'm far too likely to forget I need to move it to the dryer, or leave the clean laundry in a basket for a week, if the incomplete task isn't staring me in the face all day.

Get one of those drain cover thingies that people normally use for the kitchen sink (with tiny tiny holes in them, don't know what they're called in English, they let water through, but catch long hairs). Have everyone empty it after they've showered. Speaking as someone with long hair, absolute life changer!

I have hair to my waist or a tad longer. Hubby has very short buzzed hair. We have a chiweenie that weighs 4.8-5.0 pounds. We also adopted a new pup in December weighing 6-8lbs. We were told she is a shih-Tzu mix and would be about 10lbs. Here we are 4 months later, she is 6 months old and she weighs 20 for sure probably a bit more. She doesn’t look shih-Tzu at all, even when we got her and she was so much smaller she didn’t. My daughter has a pure bred so We have experience with them. Currently the chiweenie is the one doing all the shedding.

Hygiene.
Before her, all I did was brush my teeth and shower daily.
I watched this woman wake up earlier to do a whole skin care routine every day on top of showering and doing her make-up.
Every inch of her always smelled so good and her skin so soft, I didn't even say anything about it. I just thought to myself, "she does this and I appreciate it, let me repay the favor."
We're not together anymore, but I stole her hygiene routine without her even knowing

Not a full beard he usually has the long bit from his chin only, but he mixed it up often even shaved it all off a few months before the beard oil. He loves that it smells good and makes the hair softer. It’s a nice benefit with wearing these dang masks over 2 years

Whatever it does, my hair gets softer, smoother and bigger after it dries. I swear it never looked so fabulous in my life. Edit: After reading some comments, I just want to clarify. It's not like a shampoo or styling product. You don't need that much. Too much going down the drains can mess up your pipes. So please don't pour goops of it over your head.

Part of the appeal of drinking wine is pouring it in a fancy glass and acting dramatically pretentious while swirling it around and sniffing it. If you want to get really fancy, you can get different kinds of wine glasses and then jokingly scoff at your children when they start drinking and make the mistake of pouring red wine into a narrow glass. From what I've seen, that tends to be quite amusing. Cheap whiskey is what you drink straight from the bottle.

Load More Replies... Craig Reynolds 3 years ago
If you fart often, get a leather couch. Anything else will trap the smell indefinitely. How? Foam cushioning contains millions of air pockets that get compressed and expel air when you sit. If you fart while sitting it pushes into the foam beneath the fabric covering. When you get up that fart gets sucked into the foam cushion and gets trapped. Every time someone sits it releases a little stale fart. It takes hundreds of sit and unsits to expel all the stank. Leather is impermeable and will not let the cushion trap the fart. You're welcome.

Soap is damaging the the acid mantle and bacterial biome so should only be used when you get something pretty gross on you (your kid throws up on you, yeah, wash that off) I started us on a real human diet, give us all vitamins and minerals at certain times a day when they are most absorbable and needed and my husband smells like cologne. He doesn't use deodorant, he'll sweat and smell like pickles until it dries (this doesn't bother me) and then smells like this wonderful natural cologne that is so specific to him. Stop over using soap, deodorant, perfumes, start eating right. Oh, and the natural sebum is anti wrinkle as it helps smooth our skin and protect it from the sun naturally.

Depends on his reason to end the relationship. If it was due to some bad understanding of what it will say to have a well functioning relationship, I think she is right for helping him understand and correct his misunderstanding. I think a lot of people have a complete skewed idea about how perfect everything must be, and hence they will roam from short term relatship to short term relationship, without giving either of them a chance of ever developing into something deep and meaningful. I think that advetisments and photoshoped instagram images do a lot of damage by making people expect that they can live in a fairytale. No you are not a princess, and yes you will have to clean the dishes from time to time, and having your partner worship you is not healthy, and hence that is not a good goal to aim for, or something you should dumb him for not doing. I think someone dragging them back down to Earth and teaching them how the real world works, can be a good thing from time to time.

I don't use fabric softener at all. It's not necessary, costs too much money, & it's very bad for the environment. It will also cause your clothes to wear out faster from the build-up in the fibers too. Read the ingredients label & research what those are - most of it is horrible stuff. Plus I just cannot stand the smell of most of them. I use distilled white vinegar in the rinse, and wool dryer balls in the dryer. I also hang a lot of things to dry, either outside on our screened deck in the spring/summer/early fall, or in the guest bathroom in winter.

Some fuzzy material (especially sued and velour) will look different depending on the direction of the "hair" Hence if you vacuum it like most people do by moving the head forward, a bit sideways and then pull it back utilising both the forward and the backward stroke to clean the largest area in one go, you will end up leaving stipes in it.
