    Have you picked up any good or bad habits from your SO?

    Bad Habit: Eating dinner on the couch. Trying to break this but I have wedding stuff spread out on our dining table so we couldn't eat at the table tonight.

    Good Habit: I think I'm an all-around nicer person.

    Bad habit - being late.  I go crazy when I am late but he is late alot which makes me run late. 

    Good habit - trying to not think about work so much when I am.  I would constantly do it before and he has made me realize I shouldnt think about work when I am not at work.

    Bad Habit: Leaving at the last minute for appointments. I am very obsessed with being early to engagements. Mr. Peng sits around and reads ESPN or whatever until it's the last minute to go. I've slacked on being on time to things because I'm used to him doing it.

    Good Habit: Talking with my 12 inch voice (I AM A VERY LOUD TALKER!!!! Only after years of polite shushing from Mr. Peng, have I learned how to control my voice... almost all the time. Allllmost.)

    Good Habit: A good commitment to healthy eating/working out.  My husband has diabetes, so he's always aware of what he's eating/exercizing.  We do that stuff together, so it makes things a lot easier to stick to.

    Bad Habit: When my husband does laundry, he leaves it in the dryer for days at a time.  He'll spin the clothes, take an item out and leave the rest in, instead of folding it and putting it away.  I used to hate this and...yeah, I did it last week.  Oops.

    Bad Habit: Definately lateness. I have to to tell FI that we're scheduled to be somewhere a half hour earlier than we actually need to be there. Then, we're only 10 minutes late. But now, I'm catching the late bug.

     

    Good Habit: Controlling my temper. He is horrible when he actually gets to the "blowup" stage, but he's really really good at keeping it under control most of the time. He makes me want to be calmer

    @Jessie516-leaving laundry in the dryer-that's my bad habit that thank goodness he hasn't picked up yet. I'm getting better about it though!

    hey artbee, do you mean the diet is for the migraines? If so, would you mind telling me more?

    Bad Habits - Eating junk food, Mr. F is a big fan of microwave friendly dinners. I fell victim to his convienent cooking routine a year ago and gained 10 lbs! Now we only buy real food.

    Good Habits - Although I'm a HUGE worry wart, I don't stress nearly as much since we met. Sometime you gotta just let things go.

    Bad Habits -- eating on the couch (same here tessa!) it drives me nuts. What drives me even crazier is when I find grease, peanut butter or something else where HE sits. So much for new furniture!

    Good Habits -- I think about things before I actually say them. He has also helped me with my patience (though I still have work to do there)

    My bad habit on him: needing to have something sweet/dessert after every meal!

    Yes! When I met him I would not eat icecream or pizza ... mainly because I'm allergic to dairy ... now I LOVE both.

    My good habbit would be ... I learned to be on time and wake up early ... which I never did beforehim.

    Good habit: being calm! FI is so level headed and rational, he helps me take a deep breath and relax!

    sminerva21    September 26, 2009   Chicago, IL/wedding in Upstate, NY

    Mine kind of balance each other out:

    Bad habit: Eating treats! My fiance has the fastest metabolism in the history of the human race, so he can eat whatever he wants, which means, there's always more junk food around our apartment than I would have around if it was just me.

    Good habit: He really does motivate me to work out more.

    Bad habit: Eating out WAY more than I used to.  Before I met him I'd rarely go out to eat, but in the past almost 3 years we go out almost 2-3 times a week!  When we eat together I've noticed that I allow myself to eat more junk food for some reason.

    Good habit: I've become a lot more organized and tidy.  I find myself cleaning up clutter and folding laundry as soon as it gets out of the dryer.  Somethings I'd normally let sit around untouched.  I also wake up earlier on my days I would normally sleep in.  I feel so much more accomplished on those days!

    Bad habit - like tessa, we now eat on the couch in front of the tv, which I have always frowned upon.

    Good habit- being generally nicer to people. I picked up a bit of rudeness from my ex, and FI is so nice all the time, it's a reminder that there's no reason to be a beach.

    Gemstone    July 2011   Cincinnati

    Bad habit: Like sminerva21 and jillianleigh, I eat far more snacks and eat out far more often than I ever did on my own. My FH also has an incredibly quick metabolism, so he is always hungry. Around him, I find myself eating mini-meals later in the evening after dinner, things like that. Because he can eat anything, I tend to be less careful about what I eat around him.

     

    Good habits: I try new things more often, and I branch out of my comfort zone more often. It's easier for me to do these things when he's next to me, kind of like a security blanket, I guess.

    Good habit: I'm picking up on his neatness--he's a neat freak and I'm kind of messy, but I'm starting to turn. I also find myself trying new things, like Gemstone said. There are tons of things I never would have done if he weren't right there next to me.

    Bad habit: He knows I love chocolate, and he can always convince me that I should have dessert when I really shouldn't.
