In the Joint.......

A show that Abi loves is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

What the hell is so special about a slobby bloke having his fashion sense and life made over? It happens all the time: its called "Moving in with your gf."

Before my partner and I moved in a few months ago, i had been living by myself for a few years and living by yourself is great, but if you do it for too long.......you develop some habbits.

Women who live alone eeventually get more and more cats until oneday they are suddenly a feature story on a current affair. Men on the other hand, simply lets the rules of society go out the window and turn into a lower form of life: the sort of people that monkeys would look at and say, "Dude, evolve!"

I used to love nothing more than spending the night sitting in front of the TV and eating chocolate in my underwear. OK, that came out wrong, i dont mean that the chocolate was actually in my underwear.

Guys love watching TV. Its like that Seven network promo where a guy is walking hand in hand with his TV. Only a bloke would think TV is better than a GF. And lets face it, it does have some advantages: you can turn it on from the other side of the room, you always know which buttons to press, and it doesnt mind if your mates watch.

Since we've moved in together. I've watched less Smokey and the bandit and more of Sex and the City re runs. And somehow watching Aerobic Oz Style isnt just the same when she's in the room.

Abi also cant stand me watching sport on the TV. I once got into trouble for watching the cricket, when she wasnt even in the room. And i think she'd rather let me have an affair than to have me go to the football. in fact I've started seeing footy behind her back.......

Another things that changes drastically is the amount of washing up you do. Not only because there's 2 of you, but mostly because a bloke eats out of a pan that they heat up the food in or take away containers than the food came in.

Sure, one of the greatest wonders in the world is the leaning tower of pisa. But thats nothing, compared to one of the greatest wonders of single living, the Leaning tower of Pizza boxes.

However, stacking is one skill a bloke brings into a realationship - especially when it comes to drying the dishes. To avoid ever actually having to dry anything, most men manage to stack the entire kitchen contents tin those couple of racks.

But the most complicated things about moving in with someone is the bedroom. For starters......you have to chose which side of the bed you're going to sleep on. Now you might think that this is going to be stress free........this was great, until recently Abi read an article that said the dominant partner sleeps closest to the door to protect them for intruders. But i sleep farthest from the door. To reclaim my manliness, I had to convince Abi that the burglars will come in through the window.

Also, girls love spoons, buts lets be honest, guys like forks. Girls love spooning because they get to be the front person. Front spoon is awesome. But if you're the back spoon......not only do you have the arm that you don't know what to do with, but you also get the mouthfull of hair.

Another thing I've learnt is how to make the bed. I never really bothered before coz whats the point if you're going to unmake it anyway? But as Abi says, if we took the same attitude twards clothes, why would be bother putting clothes on?

Ofcourse living together gets even more complicated when you decide about the next step.....to have children. Abi and I aren't quiet at that stage yet - although we did have a cat.......which i suspected might have been a practice baby.

One morning i was getting out of bed i accidently stepped on the cat's tail and Abi jumped up and screamed. "OMG. what if that had been our baby. you would be the worst father in the world."

Thats when i snapped. "No, honey, you would be the worst mother in the world, because you left our baby on the floor."

That is great!!! (who came up with that? You? Genius!)

I feel wonderful and not alone now looking at that pile of pizza boxes in my room dangerousely leaning and ready to fall to one side or another... Celibacy forever or commit again but for the last time?

I'll let my cat jump on the top of it and see which way it falls... :-)
