I don’t understand how people cohabitate with a partner
Are you looking for a serious answer? Or is this more for funsies?
Funsies, I could use some humour
Living with your permanent roommate is the only time you can experience loving someone unconditionally while at the same time occasionally contemplating murdering them.

It’s pretty easy as long as they respect your sleep schedule, eat the same food, split bills evenly and on time, take care of house chores fairly, want to watch the same things as you, and don’t have any expectations of you outside of this list.
And then inevitably one of them will produce offspring that will fuck all of that up… Children make terrible room mates.

This is why I’m big on saying “Anyone can fall in love: the real challenge is LIKING someone”
I’ve known several marriages that fell apart once life settled down, the two people got to spend more time together, and realized they couldn’t stand each other.

Wow that sounds exactly like… nvm
My wife thinks I am lazy, and I think she is a psychopath. She is a morning person and I am not.

I think a big part of the issue is that people stop continuously working on their relationships (I know I am guilty of this one from time to time). Presumably two people in a relationship at one point liked each other, but sight of that gets lost easily.

This is my wife and I to a T, but reversed. She has no idea how I’m up by 5 everyday. She also averages 5-8 hours of snoozing her alarm per week. That, and her inability to finish any drink ever (she leaves 1/4 of it in the glass/cup/can/bottle), are my only complaints directly related to my wife. Super minor. Only other issue is that we enjoy each other’s company enough that we don’t always keep up on housework as much as we should, but that’s on both of us.

I think the dating process is backwards for so many folks. My wife and I were best friends FIRST and then let our guard down enough to explore that relationship further. She’s legit like THE only human I like spending time with. My list of friends pretty much starts and ends with her. Meanwhile, a lotta folks go off physical attraction FIRST, then explore from there to see if they even like each other. I feel like it makes for a rough go.

Same here.
Physical attraction is going to eventually fade (none of us are going to look good at 70).

I just can’t understand it at all. Her alarm goes off, she is out of bed in like 30 total seconds. Up and doing shit. It’s a whole process of self convincing for me. I usually convince myself to get up with positive reinforcement. I tell my self “If you get up all you have to do for now is make it to the couch for a YouTube video”.

A big reason I was contemplating a psych minor is bc I wanted to be affiliated with the psych department so I could join one of the relationship lab run by one of the profs
If I want a guaranteed bout of depression all I have to do is start snoozing. 2-3 days in a row and I’m mentally wrecked. Takes a week of not snoozing to fix it too.

I think you’ll find better advice from real people than from a psych professor. In my opinion, this is one of those areas where the theory is easy, it’s the practice that’s difficult.

Maybe something to try? I get bouts of depression, it sucks.

I’d noticed similar, but always assumed it was the other way round. Ie. I started snoozing because i was starting to deal with depression.

Usually it’s the other way around for me but this has happened as well.
