After spending two weeks in the apartment with my girlfriend, I realize that she really annoys me and I cannot stand her habits. But before this I really liked hanging out with her on Friday nights

You have two options:
1. Break up with your gf
2. Never leave consulting

Give it a month and if things don’t change then break up you should enjoy spending every second with your significant other.

I think people who say they are happy being around each other 24/7 for several weeks either are happy despite the circumstances and somewhat annoying things of their SO, or they don’t view them as annoying/ care too much about their SO’s habits (in terms of lower your expectations). I think every person has the potential to trigger you at some point, it is just a question of how you deal with it.

Relationships are all about understandings and adjustments. No two persons in a relationship are 100% match. May be you liked something in her in the first place and now you are learning something new in her that you never got a chance before. Treat this as an opportunity for making a wise decision.

Don’t be rash and hasty with this. The initial phase of moving in with someone (or spending a significant amount of time with someone) is a major adjustment period. For all you know, she may be feeling the same and not voicing it. As someone said earlier, give it some time and then evaluate whether these are just growing pains or if this really isn’t the person for you. Then make the decision.

I've been happily married for 17 years. My wife does many things that annoy the hell out of me... as I'm sure I do to her as well. If you're looking for someone who doesn't have any annoying qualities then you are going to be looking for a LONG time. The big thing is to make sure that they are annoying qualities that you can live with. 😂

Did you talk to her about it? Seems like a simple conversation and I am sure she will make changes. Trust that you will never 100% like the habits of your significant other but think about whether it’s a make or break or really
Important in the scheme of things. Give her time to change after you talk to her about it and if it’s important to her she will change !

You are given the opportunity of first glimpse to a married life my brother. Best of luck!

One thing to remember- there is a huge difference between 24/7 and normal married life. Things that are relatively minor irritations in “normal” life assume huge proportions when you can’t get away from each other during the workday, and you add on the stress of worrying about the impacts of COVID re health of family, yourself, work, economy, etc. Be cautious of making huge life-altering decisions without taking the impact of these factors into account. This will pass and we will return to more normal times, and stress levels will become more manageable. Meanwhile, look for relief - yoga, meditation, music, wine (but not toooo much!)

Hey OP. I also like things neat and tidy. My person is opposite. But not as gross as your gf wow. Also my person is making an effort.

So I guess what I want to say is that not everyone will be as neat/clean as you but there will be people who are not as bad as your current gf. Does that make sense? Like you don’t have to settle even as there is no perfect person. I also think about how I might be so bored and annoyed by someone who is as clean or cleaner than me.

The other thing is about respect and effort. It’s still your house. Why can’t your gf respect your no-popcorn-in-bed rule? Why can’t she treat the place nice? If she can’t behave imagine how she would be staying at your parents for a weekend. My messy boo is still messy but he’s making an effort and things have changed and it’s amazing to feel that difference. You can find someone who loves you and tries hard even if they are not exactly like you in their habits.

I got into a small argument with my bf about our future and he said something along the lines that he thinks I don’t want this instead I want to want this. We have resolved the core issue which was mainly a misunderstanding but thinking back at it I think he’s right. I do very often feel like i want to want this because he loves me so much but I am not sure I actually want this …

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
