trying to live with people

4.15pm

hallo hallo people!

sorry for slacking off lately. there hasnt been much to talk about. and i dont want to bore you to death with boring topics. but maybe today's topic would pique your interest perhaps or not..but whatever. im still pushing along.

now, have any of you had a roomate from hell? maybe not from hell hell, but you know what i mean. its not easy trying to live with someone isnt it? unless you are super easy and very forgiving then there shouldnt be a problem. but for others, i guess we all have our moments of frustration, over time.

fortunately for me, i've not come across any roomate or holiday mate from hell. its because im quite an easy person and i give and take alot. once upon a time, i used to live with 7 housemates in a 3 bedroom apartment. prior to this, i;ve never had a roomate before and learning to live with someone else in the same room with me, was definately an experience. luckily both of us, we never got on each others nerves and we lived peacefully and looked out for each other.

and then there's another scenario whereby you have to live with your in laws. what do you think? and how do you feel about it?  yes,  i know we should try to live away from our inlaws in case of friction or god forbid, cat fights amongst the women in the family. but sometimes life doesnt always go the way you want it to go. and yes i know that  living with your in laws isnt always easy. some families are easier to get along with and some quite hard. if any of you reading this is currently living with your in laws and its a big family, then well, good luck to you. i hope you will survive and wish you lots of patience.

i've gone on holidays with my girlfriends and somehow we just gel. we accomodate each other. free and easy. thats what i like. i have heard stories about my girlfriends who went on trips with other girlfriends, have come back and said that it was very hard. one wanted to do this, other wanted to do that, one is tired, one isnt....etc. you know what i mean. and after that holiday, i dont think they would be travelling with each other ever again. i guess its all about having lots of patience and understanding. you have to discuss first and foremost before any trip with your girlfriend/s on the ground rules, likes dislikes etc. unless you trust your friend explicitly and do not want to discuss and just go on a trip, then, dont complain if things dont go your way.

what about living with your other half before marriage? things can look pretty lovey dovey at the beginning stage and after months or say a year has gone by, im very certain, you will start to see the cracks in the wall. no, i dont mean literally. (unless you have been quarrelling and throwing stuff at each other and cracking the wall with it). im not saying we are all perfect human beings. we all have our flaws. thats why to me, i think its better to live with your partner before marriage and see if you both can stand one another in the same house or room. oh my goodness, you will definately start to see each other's bad habits. and if you can live with his/her flaws, then i wish you all the best of luck for your upcoming marriage.

well thats that then. something to think about, hey?
