Soooo very roommate-y. Totally normal.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Teppy, it takes a while to figure out a rhythm. I still fight my night owl tendencies to go to bed when TCG does, and he would probably like to go to bed even earlier. It's difficult to adjust.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So, let me ask -- married folk/people living in sin: does it feel roommate-y sometimes? Or is there a roommate-like aspect? Is this normal?
Sure, it's pretty normal. Probably weirder if it didn't feel that way at times.

Dear company x,
As you may recall, we first discussed working together in [x year]. The attached emails reflect our discussion regarding the proposal that I submitted to you. It has come to my attention that Company X has been using material that is substantially similar to the material that I submitted in [x year]. I understand that in the ensuing time, there may have been some unintentional blending of our materials, so I am asking you to review your materials and remove any of the copyrighted material that I submitted to your company, and respond to me in writing to that effect.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
does it feel roommate-y sometimes? Or is there a roommate-like aspect? Is this normal?
Completely. I mean, he *is* your roommate, as well as being your relationship. If you can manage both of them harmoniously, then you're in great shape, even if your harmony != always in sync all the time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is this normal?
Yup. DH and I have lived together for almost 10 years, now, and we are still learning how to mesh our different schedules into time together and time apart and time getting shit that needs doing done. You reading while he tinkers is Quality Relationship Time in which you practice allowing each other to pursue your own interests while still being around each other. That's pretty advanced, I'd say.

So, let me ask -- married folk/people living in sin: does it feel roommate-y sometimes? Or is there a roommate-like aspect? Is this normal?
OMG, YES. But even after nineteen years, we still have our, uh, definitely non-roommatey moments.

And THAT, my darlings, is the key.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
and different bedtimes - not unusual. Not always desirable, but there are all kinds of ways to work around the night owl/ early bird syndrome.
and it seems to me that a live-in relationship ranges from hi, oh yeah we share a bed to hooray the person I love most in the world is here, I must crush them with my love to please vanish for three hours so I can be all by myself and yes, take the cat with you.
