Married/Partnered Planeteers - Combining Your Life

Sweet_Amor_Taino · 01-25-2011, 09:18 PM

I am the type of guy that if I like something I buy it and hang it up where I think will look nice. I have Frida Kahlos art, Diego Rivera,s art, and Digital art by different artist. My furniture is from Pier One and Ikea. I do Not worry much if it matches just that I like it.

On the other hand Most to the ladies I have shared space with are the type that everything has to match and be place in the right place. I let them do their womanly thing and have the house the way they like it. I have even put things in storage to open space for their things and make it more comfortable and ascetically pleasing for their liking.

Let peace and love Role the house

My wife has the inside of the house and I have the outside... I already have the pool/spa/patio/outdoor kitchen plans...

We DO consult with each other, though... I have a design for a new fireplace, for example...

We are a team effort with individual strengths...

As far as neatness, it all depends on the area of the house you are talking about. I am completely anal about the kitchen... no crumbs, hair, spatter, plugged in electronics... etc... She is far more anal about the laundry. I do most of the vacuuming and dusting (that hair thing again)... she scrubs the floors and the bathrooms..

Once again... team effort with individual strengths...

We have decided that in order to live in the same home we need a duplex with an adjoining living room.

My wife and I have been looking for a house for sometime, but we're looking for something that gives us enough both room for our own down time. I'm a type A personality while my wife likes to chill alot. It took me a long time to learn how to relax and smell the roses.

I've seen that too... but I couldn't do it... I would miss her too much. We are both so busy that much of the time we are passing each other in the doorway. This week we agreed we would have OUR time after she works on Sunday....

I can't be with someone who is all up in my business all the time, it makes me cranky. Kind of like putting stuff on a bookshelf all willy-nilly does (tie in to the thread). Things should have some order and look pretty.

And yeah, I really am fussy like this, and then some.
