Going from living all on your own, with your family, or with a few roommates to moving in together with your partner is a huge step. For one, the romantic dynamic can become very different. You’re spending far more time together and you start dealing with mundane household issues like dividing up chores, syncing up your showering schedules, and claiming your side of the bed.

You start seeing your partner in a different light: you notice more of their quirks and how they behave when they fully let their guard down. It can be fun, endearing, and incredibly surprising.

The men of Reddit revealed all of the surprising things that they learned only after they moved in with a woman. We’ve collected the most fun and interesting responses from these two r/AskReddit threads to entertain and illuminate you, Pandas. Odds are, you might relate to a lot of these tales.

How was life changed for you after you moved in with your partner? How do you decide who does what chores? Do you have any advice for all the Pandas who haven’t yet lived with someone they love? Share your wisdom and experience in the comments. And if you'd like to read some more similar stories, check out Bored Panda's previous article right here.

I don't like wearing a bra because it leaves Marks on my shoulders and maybe worden my backpain but this happens because my breasts are heavy enough to be a burden and this for i prefer to wear a bra over not wearing one so that they did not hang down so much or are moving and gaining more unpleasurement (is that the right Word?) - that to be said, Sport is no fun with big breasts! If i know how, i would like to bend my breasts so they did not move/be in place... The freedom of braless breasts is not a freedom for me. It's just unnerving

I wonder if this has to do with the fact that most women wear the wrong size bra or just don’t know how it’s supposed to fit properly. And this is in top of the fact that many more comfortable bras are often unaffordable to many.

I was properly fitted for a bra. Yeah it was more comfortable than the ill-fitting bras I'd worn for years but still felt like a boob jail. No bra is the best bra for sure!

I guess that's true for a lot of women, but I actually vaaaaastly prefer wearing a bra (comfy sports bra, not one of those underwire monstrosities). Having my boobs flop around freely is way more uncomfortable to me.

    I once dated a man who equated sunscreen with cosmetics that only women would use. The same with any skin cleanser to clear up acne. He would rather get a sunburn than put on sunscreen. And he had red hair and freckles which is the type most prone to sunburn!

    When it comes to getting along with anyone—whether it’s your partner, family member, friend, or coworker—what really helps is setting expectations, communicating openly, and clarifying boundaries if needed.

    Nobody’s a mind-reader (as far as we can tell, at least), so if you’re upset about something or you’d like your partner to give you more of a hand with the cooking, cleaning, etc., it’s best to have an honest but friendly chat about it. Passive aggression won’t lead to anything good.

    Women are rarely allowed to just be people. There is some magical made up idea of what we are and how we live (and the life we are expected to create and provide for others--particularly for men) that society seems to hold, and when that fantasy is ripped away by someone actually seeing our home life, ppl don't let go of the fantasy, but rather see that individual woman to be sub par (and will treat her as such) hence why we stress over how our homes are perceived. An example of this fantasy mystique attached to women is a quote from Dr. Ira Graves in Star Trek: the next generation, "Women aren't people; they're women." Many women are also guilty of lateral misogyny by expecting their son's girlfriends/wives to parent them and clean up after them rather than teaching their sons basic life skills. So women deal with a lot of anxiety over people coming into a space that is supposed to be a safe, comfortable, and private but ends up being another thing we get judged for.

    However, living together with someone doesn’t mean that literally every single waking minute has to be spent together. That’s not too healthy. Both partners need to understand that having some privacy is completely fine.

    People need some space and time to be alone with their thoughts and hobbies. You don’t have to sacrifice your entire life and personality just to keep your partner happy. On the flip side, you shouldn’t expect that your partner will overhaul everything about themselves just so you can keep living as you always did. Some compromises will have to be made, eventually. Figuring out what a shared life looks like is part of the fun.

    I was sitting at my desk with my big donot bother 🎧 on and a guy came up behind me a jerked my chair back and startled me to tell me something was wrong with the printer (I am not the office secretary nor manager but have tits and I was seated near the area if the copy machine, so by default I must assist the male idiots in the office with things they should know how to do).Welp! he almost got a pen stuck in his throat and tell him to figure it out. My reaction was to swing my arm up and around to connect with whatever was behind me. That fool never did that or asked me about dumbshyt again. People would tap on the metal frame of the cubicle or the corner of the desk to get my attention but he decided to be an arsehole and shake my chair..

    Think about this. Men, imagine what it would be like to ALWAYS have to be careful & watch for danger... Usually from males; school campus, co workers, ex's, stragglers, rapists, abductions, etc. Time for men to really try to feel & sense all the nuanced realities of the day to day for women.

    The only thing that's comparable is PTSD after coming home from active duty. The stress of having to be on constant high alert does things to you. Unfortunately there is no leaving the war zone for women, it is a constant, ever present threat.

    My wife is WAY slobbier. I do the majority of the cleaning and cooking in the house. Worst is when I take the kids for the weekend to visit my parents. When we get back the house is a wreck, dishes piled up in the sink. There's a funny smell, that I'm happy not to know the source of. Takeout boxes overflowing in the trash. And general havoc. I have learned that I need to schedule a solid 3-4 hours of cleaning time on the day that I get home. If I go for a week (step dad broke his foot last summer, and I stayed for a week with the kids to help out), then I need to put out the trash cans for pickup (even if it's days until trash day), and set out two extra litter boxes. So yes, I am aware women can be as slobby as men or worse.

    I beg to differ, OP. The women in my family, while very tolerant, always reminded my dad and brother that women don't use farts - or burps - as puncturation and then think it's adorb. Most women I've known would rather eat dead worms than have someone hear a tiny fart escape. Did you ever see a fart lighting contest going on amongst a group of women at a party? no.

Not perfectly but enough not to be on the wagon of claiming women don't know what they ever want or that they're "not hungry" but don't "know better".

Actually as I have gotten older, my eyesight has declined but my sense of smell has increased significantly.

    For a year, I lived with four girls when i was in college. I don’t have a sister and at the time never had a serious girlfriend. I learned a lot about cycles. Theirs synced up. I didn’t know that was a thing. During that time, or dare I say, period.....it was so much fun dealing with the tearful emotional anguish of things like, “who ate my macaroni and cheese!?!!” I was like, why have my roommates all gone psychotic at the same time?

    As an important note, women don't go psychotic, rather, they lose their tolerance for BS and they decide that, for now, diplomacy goes right out the window. Funny enough, most men just can't tell the difference between us ceasing to tiptoe over glass for their convenience/us expressing emotions about how difficult life is because being in pain on top of it all was ONE thing too many and us going legitimately bonkers. The world caters so much to the comfort of men that when women stop doing so (and start acting like men,) they think we've gone insane. (And yes, I've seen men lose their sh*t over the fact that someone ate their Mac n cheese because they had a long day at work. I've actually seen this more times than I can count and not even from the same men.)

    One thing that guys don't get is that for many women the reason we go a bit "psycho" is because we are in PAIN. Yet we still have to get things done. I am actually menopausal now, but I just found out that periods are not medically necessary. If I had to do it all over again I'd opt for the type of birth control that eliminates periods altogether. It just seems like pointless suffering.

    When I moved to my current city, I moved in with a guy that has obviously been living on his own for awhile. He only bought toilet paper one roll at a time, because he felt like extra toilet paper was unnecessary clutter. By month two, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I bought multipack and kept it in my room. I'm making him sound like a weird tight ass, and he really wasn't. I just don't think he had any understanding of how much toilet paper women use.

But then again, my only experience in excessive use of TP is not having a gallbladder anymore, and the surgeon having fücked up a bit (they punched a hole in my liver, tried to refuse to hand me the report of the surgery, claiming it was "meant for your MD, not for you", making it likely just get crammed in some folder and go unnoticed, ...). Anyway, this does apply to males, too. Some. I.

    Someone Asked Men To Share What They Learned From Living With Women That They Didn't Know Before, And These Are 30 Of The Most Surprising Answers I learned that their vaginal secretions bleach their underwear over time. Empirically I knew their bajingos have a basic pH, but I didn't expect them to bleach their underwear just by wearing it. EDIT: Bajingos have an acidic pH. I was drinking last night and messed up my pH scale. Either way, acid washed jeans are essentially bleached too, so the fact that their bajingos bleach their underoos still applies.

    Suspect it's actually a "Scrubs" tv-series reference, as Eliott there refused to say penis and vagina, and hence said bajingo / ho-ho (vagina) and Schwing-schwong/peeper/peep (penis) lmao.

    As a woman I agree with this. I have a process and separate body towels for washing. I wash and condition my hair first. While my hair is conditioning, I use my private parts towel for cleaning my private parts, then I use my body towel for my face and body, last, I finish by washing the conditioner out of my hair, and done.

    I think he also means that we use a different product to wash face, maybe another to wash privates, then look at shaving which takes forever- possibly some kind of exfoliation or foot filing. My husband thinks cutting his toenails is pushing the boat out

    And it can take anywhere from 20min (if I’m in a big rush) to an hour and a half. If I do everything I want to do while showering, it can take me up to an hour and a half. This includes: hair mask for 15 min, shampoo, massage head and hair, rinse shampoo out, conditioner, shaving my whole body, exfoliating my whole body with my exfoliating gloves, washing different parts of my body with different soaps/cleansers, pumice stone on my feet, finally rinse out the conditioner. And then come the facial exfoliants (every other day), face serums, face oils, face creams. Then I used different creams on different parts of my body. Then I brush my teeth and floss. And then it’s time to start my hair routine. Which is too much to explain at this point.

    I'd like to insert a little-known secret for some as to long showers .. It's possibly the first time you have had privacy, feel safe, are able to relax, aren't getting bothered, have an excuse not to answer the phone, no one is supposed to bother you, you can lock the door and make yourself feel clean and refreshed. A chance to decompress and start over when you open the door

    Facts. I always have to start off by shampooing my hair, then I rinse it off. Then I work conditioner all throughout my hair, then I leave it on while I lather up my body with body wash and using a mesh scrubber. I have to get every bit of my body while doing that, including the soles of my feet and in between my toes, but I make sure to lather my private parts just using my hands so my mesh scrubber doesn't get any contact with those parts of my body. Then I sit down on the shower floor for a minute to continue scrubbing my feet and make sure I'm using as much soap from my mesh scrubber as possible before rinsing it off and getting back up to rinse everything else off. Then I get out, dry my body, wrap my hair in the bath towel, apply deodorant, and get dressed. I consider my routine fairly basic, though.

    Is the car her only private space/the only space someone doesn't DARE judge her for while in it or out of it if they expect to be able to continue coming back? Or is she acting as everyone's personal secretary and chauffeur while keeping home/working? Things to consider.

I wash and detail my own car. I kinda dont like tranposting people in my car because they like to track leaves and pebbles that get on my mat. My trunk is always clean, I have a trunk organizer that hold my reusable shopping bags, an extra umbrella, and my car detailing supplies.

    Maybe it’s loud when you’ve held it in for a while (yes, I know that’s not healthy, I mean a little while, like if there’s no bathroom available) and then are able to pee, it would come out with more force and more sound? Maybe it’s loud at night when the bedroom and rest of the house is pretty quiet?

It's super wasteful, but then you will use the nice decorative kitchen towels to wipe up a gallon of bbq sauce after you destroyed the kitchen and then just hang them right back up, like "i didn't know i wasn't supposed to do that?" 🤔🤔🤔

    Exactly. We always had our own reusable, washable towels for wiping our mouths while eating. My son now does the same with his family. Paper towels are only used if really necessary.

    Did your wife grow up in a home where money was tight? Wadding up multiple paper towels to clean up a small spill was a major no-no in my home as a child. Those behaviours can be hard-wired into the nervous system during childhood, and carried over in adulthood.

    Who does the laundry? Is someone washing your jeans for you so you always have clean jeans? That same person probably doesn't want to have to do laundry to have clean jeans for themselves, therefore they own more so they can go longer between wash cycles on their own clothing. More clothing=work less often. That's certainly what I do.

    But what about the fact that you (not you personally, the general you) don’t actually have to wash your jeans that often (meaning not after every wear)? Depending on if my jeans have actual dirt on them I wear them quite a few times before washing. It’s hard on the denim to wash it super often.

    Taking a shower is a huge process for my wife and daughters. There are 7 different soaps that each do different things. 21 different shampoo and conditioner bottles that I knock over every time stepping in and out of the shower. There are razors all over. Oh, and I use the same towel for like 3 weeks. They need fresh, clean towels every shower. And, I never knew that people actually used those little square towels. There’s also some poofy, thing that hangs from the shower head. No idea what that’s for. I’ve had to buy 2 extra suction cup shower tray thingys to house all their showering needs. I’ve also learned that when I go to the store to buy something, I will always get the wrong thing. There is often several different types and brands of the products that I need to purchase and i will always pick the wrong one. Women’s brains are amazing at remembering that s**t.

    This was a horrifying read because that was a REALLY long way to say that you were never taught to properly groom yourself. Men should absolutely know the difference between lotion, face wash, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, and they should absolutely know what a washcloth is and know that you don't use the same wash cloth for you buttcrack and your face. And they should know that you have to regularly wash your bath towel. That is a baseline of hygiene. To be fair though, there are a LOT of products out there with many types/varieties to choose from per brand and the bottles always seem to be changing design, so they can be tricky to keep track of, especially while standing in a store.

    I don't get the new towel for every shower. You're clean when you come out of the shower so how soiled can the towel actually get unless you just toss it on the floor all balled up. You open it up and hang it on the rack so it all gets dry evenly. I probably get a new one every three weeks also. Me and my late husband even used the same one unless we were taking back to back showers so one of us could have a dry one. I just don't get the paranoia about this.

    Even though you clean yourself in the shower, drying your body rubs off dead skin and the towel being wet over a long period of time builds up bacteria. Three weeks is waaaay too long if you're showering every day. And even too long if you're not.

    If you're sticking your hair to the shower wall and not immediately cleaning it off and throwing it away upon finishing your shower... you're gross. Don't just leave it there, ew. I collect it on the wall, swirl it into a ball, then when I get out, I use a tissue to grab it off and throw it away. I also routinely clean the drain when I clean the shower. These are avoidable issues.

Worth it compared to the cost of having to pay a plumber to come snake out your bathtub drain if you have really long hair and/or live with a lot of people who have long hair. Also, pet hair, unless you take them to the groomers!

    “You can never know what you can put in the dryer”?? What about clothing labels? Those symbols are meant to tell you the washing instructions and whether it’s safe to machine wash. Google laundry symbols and take a screenshot of the symbols to refer to when doing laundry. On a different note, for a great laugh google image search “laundry symbols funny”. Two separate searches. One will legitimately help you do laundry the other will just make you giggle and laugh!

    Not everything has a label, and sometimes the label fades after a few washings. And others? "Spot clean only" ? Gimme a break.

    It's because we have been unfairly tasked with being solely responsible for making life happen for ourselves and our partners. Women get do nothing days when they date/marry competent men who actually share the workload equally (which includes not needing us to manage them by telling them what needs to be done and asking them to do it when it needs doing.) Men who take it upon themselves to pull their own weight find themselves in much happier relationships because they aren't dating/married to someone who is frustrated, exhausted, and feeling wholly underappreciated.

    Based on studies men who share domestic duties are more likely to get laid and less likely to get divorced too. One of the number 1 reasons women file for divorce is because their husband is not contributing equally to domestic and child rearing duties.

Once or twice or more 😲 a month on Saturday evening clear a little area in the house, prep some snacks and drinks, books or knitting or whatever you like. Then on Sunday morning plop your bum down in that area and DO NOT MOVE FROM THE SPOT ALL DAY. You are allowed bathroom breaks of course. Enjoy

By the next morning I can barely move my fingers until I give them some stretches and a hand soak in epsom salt water. Currently, I have a pinched or damaged nerve in my hip that's causing a pins and needles sensation in my thigh, and sore to touch. After a women gives birth, even years and years later, she's still feeling the effects. Our hips and spine are screwed up and then we got to deal with the bone and tissue damages as a result.

    Lid down means that everyone has to open and shut the toilet lid before and after use. That way, the seat is never left up, and guys just lift up one extra thing when they want to go standing up. Everybody wins. Plus, nothing (and no one) falling into the toilet, no spray of toilet water when you flush, no pets drinking out of the toilet, no pee on the seat... I can never fathom why people think it's too much trouble to bother with. It solves so many problems. The lid is not there for decoration.

    Women spend their whole lives backing in; men spend the bulk of the time looking forward. We're the ones who need it up. If you're living with a woman, it's going to be down the bulk of the time. It's easier for us to continue a habit of checking and learning to close the lid than for her to have to look every time. It takes, what, a second or two? Be practical, logical, and considerate, not lazy, guys.

    Just close the lid! It’s there for a reason. I’m a guy, and I’ve never understood why people insist on leaving the lid up. It prevents aerosolized particles from swirling around the bathroom, it prevents items from falling in if they’re dropped, and why does anyone want to see a toilet bowl? Are you in that much of a hurry?

    Plus (as well as cleanliness) it would save this whole argument - if the lid is down, by default the seat is down. I would also note, if you have a soft close toilet seat, it takes longer to use the toilet if you need to wait for the seat to drop into place than it would to lift the toilet seat lid/toilet seat lid + seat.

    If they see an empty chair, that’s where the purse, the coat, and the scarf go. Nevermind that the coat rack is 5 feet from said chair. So many chairs in our place rendered unusable by all the stuff she lays on them.

    The Chair has icon status. For me, it can't just be any old chair. It has to be a specific type of chair - not so big that it doesn't fit the room, no slippery surface that stuff is just going to slide right off of, etc.

    Mornings are a sort of tribal ritual. There are better days for which we are blessed with astral forgiveness and kindness directly from f*****g Jupiter or something because she'll shower and put on make up and know what to wear in half an hour. Then there are the other days. The borderline nervous breakdown because she doesn't have clothes or that hue of blue doesn't match her sweater. Any feeble attempt to help will be met with contempt, any attempt to mind your own business will get you in trouble for not caring. And the make up trap, oh God the make up trap. Listen, you never want to say that the make up doesn't match or look good. Just don't even try.

    True. This kind of behaviour could indicate some mental health issues, starting with low self esteem and even depression judging from shabby anger management, PMDD or other. Problematic mornings can be a sign of ADHD too. I bet you this woman does not enjoy being unstable either. Or she does and she is a sociopath and likes to torture her BF and he should run.

    Waking up on the wrong side of the bed where everything is exactly one micron off is the absolute worst when leaving the house means facing society's criticism of our very being. Women's body's are largely viewed as public property, open for commentary and our appearance affects everything from academic opportunities to job offers. The weight of that on your mind in the morning when nothing is working right can be legitimately maddening/panic-meltdown inducing. Add to that the days when your hair won't brush right....anyone with long hair knows exactly what I mean.

    I'm happy to go w/ the flow, and most of my friends are, too. The less demanding/unpleaseable one is, the better. That allows us more leeway to make a demand when something important to us is happening that we Really want to experience (w/o feeling too bossy). Life is all about compromise & sharing, not about making other people responsible for our entertainment. Embrace the adventure, as simply exploring together is Fun.

    My mom does this with me. Then she gets mad that I didn't give any ideas she likes, as if I can read her mind. So, then I stop giving suggestions and she gets mad even more, claiming that I don't help her figure out where to go. Then she'll think of a place I had already mentioned like it was her initial idea. I've come to realize this is a sick trap. If the place ends up being subpar to her expectations she will then revoke all decision-making accountability and chew me out for deciding on a bad place. Don't fall for it. Don't put up with it. Leave.

    You taking them out implies you making a plan rather than relying on them to do the work for that too. When women have to be the logistics officer for 95%+ of life, we are left without the capacity for making decisions about recreational things. By that point in the day, our brains are burned and need rest. So you pick a restaurant you've seen us eat at before and either plan a meal out, or order takeout. Just let us know so we don't start cooking/prepping for dinner.

    Well usually it's because we want you to be happy, but we also want to avoid complaining but sometimes it's to mitigate the amount of time that gets spent preparing to go out. Whether it's somewhere fancy, or some hole in the wall, men will be ready to go inside 10 minutes. With women, that prep time could vary from 30 minutes to 3 hours. It's frustrating having to sit around for long periods of time while someone assure you they're almost ready every 5 minutes for hours, topping that off by having that person than have a bad time and take it out on you isn't something anyone should want

    That's called alcoholism. Our society predisposes a lot of people to it, but it isn't healthy and shouldn't be viewed as normal, despite the prolific nature of this behavior. If she is drinking that much, she is VERY stressed and needs some big changes in her life. You have the opportunity to be a positive one.

    Alcoholism has specific parameters. Binge drinking, ignoring negative effects on your health, using it to solve problems, panicking without it, problems functioning in your daily life. Unless you are a doctor who knows this woman, you have no business diagnosing her with alcoholism. This man could be speaking subjectively, or sarcastically, or without really knowing why/what she drinks. Does she think it's going to solve her problems (not good) or does it help her relax (could be okay)? Is she suffering at her job? Violent? Binging until she blacks out? The only answer you have to these questions about this woman are 'I don't know.'

    Dealing with sexism is harder than you realize. Mama needs her happy juice.

    No, thanks. I prefer a bowl of ramen or ice cream when I'm stressed or sad.

    You live with someone who might have a drinking problem.

    This trope of mommy juice is so sad and not at all funny.

    "Do you have anything for the washing machine?" actually means: * get off your a*s and go through the whole house to collect all of the clothes, dishes, and garbage bins * give me the clothes that you are currently *wearing*, even though you just put them on 30 minutes ago * wash, dry and put away the dishes * empty all of the bins, take the trash out, put new liners into the bins * wipe down all the benches * clean the toilets * vacuum and mop the floors; and * be ready to be abused and called a lazy bastard because, even though it was never mentioned at any point, today was the day she decided that you should have worked out for yourself that the shower screen needed re-caulking. *In the bathroom that you are not allowed to use.*

    Yeah this person really needs to reevaluate their relationship and decide if they want to receive this type of treatment for the rest of their life because it's not normal and no-one should put up with it.

    This is a "your partner is an a -hole" thing, not a woman thing.

    Oh, sounds like you are being asked to contribute and your partner is tired of having to micromanage the entire house and keep a running inventory of everything that needs to be done all by herself and she desperately wishes the other adult with eyeballs would use them to look for problems rather than doing the bare minimum of what has been pointed out to them in the past...sounds rough bud.

    My goodness that is a terrible way to live. It's not normal, mor is it healthy. LEAVE! Then get therapy to understand why you stayed and how to choose better partners.

    If you expect everyone to read your mind and “just know” what you want without you even giving them a hint or heads up, you are going to be living a mad, sad, frustrated, disappointed life. And it will all be self-inflicted. Communication is key. Just tell them what you want, instead of forcing them to guess then getting pissed off when they invariably guess wrong.

    TF is this craziness? This is a massively abusive relationship not just living with a partner for the first time.

    They have some kind of spell that makes any coffee table I've had become magic. Leave pizza and beer on the table. Boom! Gone the next day. Don't feel like cleaning your dishes. Boom! Clean the next day. It's f*****g amazing!

    One day you'll wake up to find the beer cans and food remains still on the table... and no woman left in the house.

    I’m sick of ppl blaming moms for adult male behavior. I have two adult male children and I DID teach them and they DO clean up after themselves, do laundry with no prompts, cook, take out garbage, and more. We ALL have days where we just say “naw, it can wait until tomorrow” and that’s ok, as long as it does get done tomorrow.

    I’m sad for anyone who dates you, as you apparently expect her to be your mom. And actually your moms job was to prepare you to take care of your own damn self… she failed you and anyone who dates you
