Life in the Middle Lane

Cohabitation Week 1

Her: I’m so happy you’re here! Finally, someone I WANT to spend lots of time with.

Her: I’m so happy you’re here! I have so many things for us to do!

Her: I’m so glad you’re here! It’s fun to watch tv with you.

Me: (in all seriousness) Are you sure you want me here? You aren’t going to kick me out?

Me: Are you sleeping well, do you have enough room? Am I in the way?  Am I too loud?

Her: You’re tense. When you are tense, you make me tense.

Her: Are you ok being here? You seem on edge.

Her: I’m happy you’re here. Stop expecting me to kick you out. Stop tripping.

Me: But… but… but… I want to make sure you are ok. I take up a lot of space.

Her: Shut up. I’ve been perfectly clear about how happy I am that you are here.

Me: So I can be my normal slobby self?

Her: You know you want to.

Her: I’m not as anal as I was last year. Right?

Me: WAAAAY less anal. (giggling)

We’ve made it through one week.  And as the GF often says,

We haven’t killed each other…. yet.  :-)
