    I am not tired of him at all!  Living with him is the greatest joy in my life. If I were tired of him after living together, I would have to seriously consider whether he was the right one for me... after all, we're going to be married and living together for a VERY long time.

    Nope not tired of him! I love coming home after work/school and knowing that he is waiting for me (or will be home soon). I also look forward to our morning cuddles!

    We go through cycles were we get slightly annoyed with one another but a little alone time solves that :D

    I've never been tired of living with him and don't plan on it ever happening. We have our "moments", but overall we are so happy to be together. I can't wait to see him walk through the door each night after he gets home from work and I miss him whenever we're apart. We still are just as much in love as we were the first few months we were first together.Constantly fighting and nagging isn't good. Did that just start recently? Have you guys tried to figure out the cause and a solution?

    I have lived with FI for 5 years and nope I NEVER get tired of him. I miss him when he is not around.

    Did you just move in with him recently? Did these relationship problems start when you moved in together?

    I moved in with my hubby three years ago, and I'm not sick of him! I'm excited to see him every night when I get home from work.

    Did you guys just move in together? I know we've gone through rough patches, and one was when we first moved in together. We were suddenly together so much, and so many changes were happening, that I think we were both extra stressed. Have you made sure to spend some time apart too? Sometimes it helps to get a little distance, especially when you're living together.

    I'll bite. Sure, sometimes, I may want the house to myself in order to avoid the sounds of "Battlefield 2" blaring from the Xbox. He isn't as tidy as I am, and sometimes I feel like chucking his dirty socks off the deck in an attempt to make the living room appear to be more than a dirty clothes hamper.

    However, when the weekend rolls around, I really want nothing more than to take our morning coffee together on the balcony and spend hours relaxing with him. He drives me crazy, but it's a healthy crazy.

    I never tire of him -  our life together is far too interesting. I love seeing him after a long, hard day and look forward to laying down next to him at night.

    I've lived with him and fis family for a year and now we've lived on our own for over a year now and I can't get enough of him! Very rarely we have our moments when we start to get testy with one another, but he always knows how to turn it around so that we can laugh it off. I don't think I could ever get tired of him... but we do need our own time now and then :"]]

    We've lived together for three years, and I've never felt tired of living with him.  We still squabble about things, but nothing I'd want to kick him out for.  I'd miss the snuggles and company too much.

    No way... we live together but we both have busy schedules so I hardly ever get to see him. I love spending time with him. We just came back from a cruise where we got to spend a whole week together, just us, and I loved it.

    Not really no... after 2.5 years of living together I definately dont get sick of having him around. That said though, there are days where I go and find my own spot to relax.

    Only if he's being a butthead! But not usually. If we start to irritate each other we decide to do something different either together or apart, And that usually fixes the problem. We always miss each other when we're not together.

    I've been living with Mr.TKE for approximately 3 years. We definitely get sick of each other sometimes...it was worse when we lived in a one bedroom downstate. Now that we have 2 bedroom, kitchen/dininigroom/livingroom place we get along better:)

    There are definitely times when I think I'm going to lose it and smash his computer with a baseball bat (if I owned one) because he's more married to that thing than me. But it passes :)

    We've lived together for 7 years and the only times I've gotten a bit tired of him is when we're travelling, in each other's pockets 24/7 and not getting a break. Even then, it tends to take a good 3 or 4 weeks for that feeling to surface and only a few hours apart for it to go away. As long as we balance our work/home/social lives it's all good!

    I am definitely not sick of my FI, but there are certain single girl freedoms I miss sometimes.  I have a really hard time falling asleep if he is not with me, which is kind of pitiful really.  We have our fights, but I really can't imagine NOT living with him now.

    Like I said, there are some things I miss, like being able to hang out with my friends all night talking if I felt like it.  I was a bartender up until this past January and FI just doesn't get the hours that most bar employees keep (trust me, it takes a while to unwind from being so high energy all night).  Last week FI was out fishing with his friends all night and I couldn't sleep, so I went and hung out at the bar with my friend who works there up after they closed.  I was there from 4-6am, and FI was a little miffed about it.  (Side note, I told him that I was going to hang out with this friend before I even left the house and he was only upset about the time, not the person I was with, and my friend was going through a death in the family)  Now, if it were some random person I probably would be mad too, but this is a mutual friend, one of my best friends, and FI totally trusts both of us.  He still gets jealous if its past a certain hour though, even if he is out all night too.  So I miss being able to keep whatever hours I felt like.  So I vent about that, but its just one of those compromises we've made.  Unless we are having a girls' night or guys' night out or there are extenuating circumstances, we typically don't stay out past 1am with different gender friends unless we are together.  That said, FI doesn't have many close girl friends who aren't related to him, while I have always been one of the boys and have alot more guy friends than girl friends....so its really more of my compromise than his :)

     

    Oh and I miss being able to grocery shop and cook for just myself!  FI hates a few of my favorite dishes (although he is very good about trying new things), so I usually try to make something we will both like.  I miss my foods!

    I would love to live with mine, we very rarely see each other.  We really miss each other.  But we can't live together.  You're lucky. :)  

    Maybe you should work on some ground rules for your house, as in one-person speaks at a time, or a 5 minute talking stick!  And if someone breaks the rules they have to pay the kitty (or you) $20 for every rule.

    @Shiner: I miss my foods too! FI is a very plain eater but he's getting better and he's pretty willing to try new things. I always make sure we go somewhere he doesn't eat for girl's night :)

    FI and I have been living together for  5 and a half years and I never get sick of him. It is really important to still do things independently though. Hegoes rockclimbing twice a week with friends and I go to exercise classes with friends. Having a bit of "me" time is always a good idea to maintain a healthy living together r/ship.

    I'm not at all, I actually like it a lot better than I thought I would. Maybe you need to negotiate the boundaries of your "togetherness" though? FI and I are SUPER open about the fact that we both do need some alone time, and some time with our friends. We don't spend every minute together when we're in the house and that is ok. I'd say maybe 3 nights/week we're either out with our respective friends or we're just both in the house doing our own thing (him: video games or sports. me: wedding shows and crafting). I think it really helps that we don't feel suffocated.

    Well I am not going to say that it is ALWAYS wonderful because the truth is that there is an adjustment period. I cant say that I get sick of him but there are defintely times when I'm like "hey, dont you want to go out with your friends tonight?" LOL

    Sometimes i just like being alone in the apt.

    We've lived together 3 years and I'm not tired of him!  Sometimes I miss him even when we are both home together!  I know how strange that sounds, but sometimes we both have so much going on with work and school we'll both be home but in different rooms working and because we have so much on our mind, it's almsot like we're not even in the same house. Sure we bicker and nag each other sometimes, but I think that's inevitable when you live together.

    I agree with you @lolaj: sometimes I just like to be alone in the apt! Plus we live in a very tiny 1 bedroom in nyc so sometimes it feels like we are crawling on top of each other.. I think if we had a bigger apt I would enjoy it more. Ah, one day.. one day! We tease about kicking each other out when we bicker, but honestly we wouldn't change a thing... Plus, I've gotten so used to him that I can't fall asleep without him now!

    We've been living together for five years now, and we're not tired of him. I mean, every once in a while, I'll want a "me" day where I go shopping by myself, or ask the hubs to go out for a day so I can have the house to myself, but it doesn't happen often, and we're happy to be back together after the end of the "me" days :)

    There are things I get tired of - dishes in the sink, trying to figure out whose turn it is to wash them.  Compromising on dinner and not getting to eat some of my favorite foods because he doesn't like them.  Doing errands for 2 (we live in suburbia, he walks to grad school and I drive to work, so this always falls to me).  Watching dumb comedies instead of film noir and suspense, which I prefer.  Last week it started to boil up into being very tired of it, but we've gotten good at realizing when someone's getting fed up - he made me a nice dinner all by himself and we watched a movie that was more my taste than his.

    But the truth is the little chores pile up and get annoying whether I'm living with him or alone.  It's just easier when there's someone else to get frustrated with.

    As far as being with him every day and night, having a space and a life that is shared between the two of us?  I LOVE it.  Hardly a day goes by when we don't tell each other how glad we are to live together.  We moved in really soon after meeting - I think we'd made the decision 3-4 months after we met and moved in together after about five months.  It was probably the best decision I've ever made.

    @sexisammy4u: No I don't get tired of living with my SO.  Although sometimes when we argue I can't just go storm off somewhere because I have to come back eventually LOL. It'll be two years living together in sept. and I love it.  I'm actually on vacation now without SO and I miss him but it's only two more days til I'm back home. All this from a person who was orginally against living together before marriage.

    I lived with my FI for awhile, then moved back in with my mom because his place didn't have a lot of space. Recently, I moved back in with my FI, and the first couple of weeks were hard, and we fought more. Mostly because of his video game habits. (ie playing World of Warcraft until 2 am) So, we're both adjusting. Him playing less and whatnot.

    No way! We’ve lived together for almost 3 years now, and I am not tired of him or of living with him – if I was, I wouldn’t marry him. Forever is too long.  A few times a year he goes out of town for work, and while it’s kind of fun (ok, totally fun) to have the house to myself like I did when I was single – the fun of those weekends has nothing to do with being tired of living with him, its just good to have your own space sometimes.

    What do you fight about – and are they things where maybe you both could just take a deep breath and give things a few minutes to cool, before talking about them? Before arguments escalate into “fights”?

    We definitely had some teething problems when we moved in together. SO had been living in a house on his parents' property but didn't have to do everything himself (his mum would do laundry, etc) so that took a bit of adjustment.

    For the most part now, things are great. We're lucky to have a guest room so for the last couple of nights, SO has slept in there and I've had the master room to cough, snuffle and groan through my cold - getting a good night's sleep is key to getting along I feel!

    haha...FI & I lived together for about a year...started fighting toomuch, i can't really say he really got on my nerves but his not so clean ways pissed me off and he moved out.  We decided it was a good test for us..besides we didn't really believe in living together before marriage anyway.  Since he moved out its been so fun...like he's really "courting" me.  We have our own space and we still see each other ALL the time.  The only bad thing is that he chose a room (lives in a house with 4 other older guys) and he pays waaayyyy too much for it and that's money we could be saving towards the "whenever wedding".  So at times i really get pissy cause we, well he is wasting money that could be used...but he told me "you told me so huh" (cause I told him the place "ehm" room was too expensive.  But can't tell men anything sometimes...they have to learn on their own.  But when/if we do get married he will DEF have his own MANCAVE!

    I would say there was a big adjustment period at first (since I had only lived at home my whole life).  I think the occasional annoyance are worth seeing him all the time.  I think it has more to do with communication style than living together (although it's easy to start nagging once you share a household!).  Whenever I am about to nag, I ask myself... is this something I really need to address?  And often times it will be a small thing that drives me nuts so I will talk to him about it in a polite way (if this doesn't work after a few tries, I'll switch to not so polite).  My SO is really good about not nagging me ever so I think that helps a lot.

    No I don't get tired of living with him-- but I do get tired of my other roommates! Ugh...

    But back to the topic, we've been living together over two years. I moved in with him straight from living with my parents and my sister used to ask me if I regretted not getting the chance to live alone, on my own. I always said no, living with him just feels natural to me. I take care of him and he takes care of me.
