One Month After Living As One

Today marks one month since my fiance and I have lived together under one roof. I wouldn't say it was as pleasant as I would have expected it yet it wasn't as scary as I would have imagined it to be. Much pet peeves and bad habits were discovered as well as funny bed habits were revealed.

One particular habit which I have been totally pissed off is his lack of habit to put down the toilet seat after his peeing business. I know much debate has been going on with this topic: to put down toilet seat or to leave it raised?

My side of argument is that it has to be put down after a man's peeing business.
Reasons:
1) it is more hygienic for the female to use the toilet.
2) any urine stains due to poor aiming is kind of hidden, making the toilet more 'presentable' in case of last minute guest.
3) a man poops sitting down so what's the big deal of needing to stand and pee? Pee sitting too, so that there no need to worry about lifting and putting the seat back down.
4) it also prevents wear and tear of the toilet seat hinge from the repeated lifting up and down of it.
5) it is a form of respect to the female gender, especially when she is the one washing the toilet.

Obviously my fiance is having great difficulties remembering to put down the toilet seat after his peeing, subjecting to me frequent getting upset with him and trying my best to remind him to do the necessary putting of toilet seat down after his peeing. I guess it was a habit that his parents didn't train him from young as there were more males than females in his family and it was worst when his sister moved out after her marriage. Hence, training him now is kind of hard. Sheesh!

That aside, the nightly sleeping habits have been our daily subject of jokes. We always end up laughing about how the blanket was snatched, who took more space of the bed, who snored so loud and who mumbles in his/her sleep during the night.

I also enjoy marketing, shopping for groceries, planning meals and cooking our meals. It is something thatI have liked since being a F&N student. In fact, kitchen is fully equipped for my cooking usage. I have everything I need to whip up a meal and to bake stuff.

In summary, I am happy and blissful living with him. At the same time,I am not too bothered about toothpaste squeezing habits and how the toilet roll should be placed in the holder for usage. Not so particular about those smaller daily living habits. But, I just want to correct his toilet seat habits. Much patience is needed...
