Actually, he likes my stuff there, and yeah, I agree, I wont be dropping in like I own the place. And uh, If I buy half the freaking food and do the dishes more than his housemate, and my boyfriend asks me to be with him for more than half the week, then I really dont think a towel rack and a small space in the bathroom cupboard is too much to ask
Geez, that's just...wow...horrible. I couldn't imagine being that way with my husband. That's awful Iron, I'm really sorry that you have to live like that. *shakes head*

In my defence, I have been extremely considerate of that. I have had many discussions with him about having some of my things there, and I have said I didn't feel comfortable with it because I dont wanna crash his space. He has said, every single time, that he doesnt mind, infact he likes having my stuff around. He actually got a little freaked out when i took it all home with me one day.
RE: i had dave's stuff all over my room and it didn't bother me. You're a girl. The dynamic is different.
Because you still psychologically believe you control the hearth. Dave's stuff is there but merely cause you wish it to be. When you tell him to move it, he will. Whereas it's different when a woman walks in. I've lived with women before (platonically) and like kudzu they'll try and occupy every single square inch they can find. They mark their territory with everything. I got tired VERY quickly of having to remove panties-I've-rinsed-off-in-the-shower to have a shower, or moving bloodstained tights out of the sink to brush my teeth.
well, you go ahead and try to tell dave that i control the hearth. i dare you. lol. tell my dad that, too.
I'm sorry Goth, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I as a woman have never, never been like that. My husband can vouch for that one.
RE: I'm sorry Goth, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I as a woman have never, never been like that. My husband can vouch for that one. Yet another "I'm not like that, therefore no woman is" comment. Sigh.
Well, I don't think that there aren't women who are like that, I suppose I just took your post personally. As a woman myself I felt I had to defend it because I'm nothing like that.
hehe. he gets resentful when presented with exceptions to his favorite paradigms. but my mom has a particularly hard time with my dad. from day one his stuff was spashed all over her house. and if she managed to clear an area to work with, he'd cover it right back up with something new. it makes her crazy, the way he's determined to "mark his territory." she's gotten pretty philisophical about it, though. "better than him spraying the furniture" she says. dave can get pretty bad. i don't like having a lotta stuff. i've moved to often in my life to want to keep moving everything. dave just accumulates so much stuff! it's everywhere. i've been with him for 7 years now, and i still sometimes feel like i'm occupying HIS SPACE, instead of OUR SPACE. but thankfully dave is a big fan of throwing shit away. otherwise i'd be like my mom.
RE: anyway, ladies, what i'm saying is: YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!! it's not like you're gonna Non sequiteur... or did you post this to the wrong forum?
Iron, if were staying at a womans place and your undies some how got soiled, dont you think that most people wouldnt really mind you rinsing them out as opposed to leaving them on the floor or sitting there and suffering. I think youre a little over sensitive about things. Like everything a woman does a burden to you, get over it man before it klls you.
