Learning to live with someone that you love is something interesting that I’ve had to learn about in the last week. I am so use to just going about doing my own thing at my own time.
A few nights now I have had a shower and then thought, “Okay, I’ll just finish that album on the computer and then I’ll go to bed†and then I suddenly stop and I think, “Wait! What about Luke!â€
After a week Luke and I are sort of getting into the ‘it’s okay if you do A while I do B’ stage. I like it. Before I was always unsure about whether we should do stuff now, or later, or if at all, and I was concerned about the things that I like to do that Luke doesn’t. It was always a question of, “What do you want to do now†which is what we’ve been use to the whole time we’ve been together and before. But quickly we’ve realised that you can’t always be with the other person, sometimes it’s good for Luke to watch a show he’s interested in on TV while I do some cooking, or for me to sort through photos on the computer while Luke sorts out all the cables etc.
The other night Luke wanted to finish watching a movie and I wanted to go to bed, so I did. The only problem? I couldn’t actually SLEEP until he was in bed as well and I had kissed him goodnight. It’s interesting that this might be a new part of living together that I’ll have to get use too.
If you want a tip from me, something I’ve learnt in all the hussle and bussle of unpacking boxes and discovering where things go in our new place, it’s take time out and just sit down with your husband. Get a drink of ginger beer and remember your honeymoon or wedding, just enjoy moving in. Take photos of the process if you can- it’s amazing the kind of transformation a place goes through!
If you have a tip for anyone going through the ‘moving in’ stage of their relationship, post it below!
