13 Hilarious Truths About Moving in With Someone For the First Time

Do you wash the dishes right after you eat or wait? Do you wear shoes in the house? Do you clean every Saturday morning while rocking out to '90s pop or only when you're expecting company? These are all things you're going to discover about each other once you move in together. And not only will your cleaning habits vary, but you and your partner might also have very different definitions of the word "clean."

You're going to know when they do everything in the bathroom and vice versa. It's awkward at first.

Do you sleep with a white noise machine or the TV on? Are you a chronic snooze-button presser? Night owl or early riser? Once you cohabitate, you and your partner's true sleeping habits will emerge, and you'll have to figure out together how they will align.

Yes, it's probably the first time you've had to check in with someone this often since moving out of your parents' house, but you've got to learn to do it.

Sure, you might have to work a little harder to keep the spontaneity alive, but this is also where true intimacy is born.

Sure, it's all fun, games, and expensive dinners when you first started dating, but now that you live together, you're going to need to sit down and have an honest talk about finances, bills, and adhering to a budget together.

It's not all boring! Painting a room, cooking dinner, or cleaning out the garage are all so much more enjoyable when done as a pair.

And that's pretty great — weird quirks and all.
