This weekend, im doing it. Yep, that thing thats comes to every man at some point in thier life, dun dun daaaaaa, Moving in with the girlfriend :)

Come on chaps, scare me...what SHOULD i know about this? Nay advice/tips/warnings etc :lol:

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

you'll doubtless argue like cat and dog for the first 6 months, all part of the settling in "getting to know you" type thing. ride with it, pardon the pun, it'll all be worth it in the end

you should always bring her flowers, she should always buy you beer - or whatever's you pleasure - you should have sole control of any wireless devices which control the television.

she must always:-

cook
iron
clean
garden
be submissive at all times

you may pay attention to the first paragraph only.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Things you SHOULD do:
Your fair share of the cooking & cleaning
Any/All DIY (unless of course she’s a builder!?)
Tell her you love her … frequently.


Things you SHOULD NOT do:
Reduce her wardrobe space with your “old tat” :P
Tell her you expect your tea on the table when you get home from work (ouch!).
Tell her you “don’t mind a bit of blood sports” :o
Leave all your dirty clothes, and wet bike gear laying around the place.
Tell her that her bum really does look big in that.


Things you SHOULD TAKE WITH YOU:
A bucket full of patience and understanding.
The ability to bite your tongue (i.e. not to say exactly what you’re thinking!)
The ability to say you’re sorry (even when you think you are right).


Things you SHOULD NOT TAKE WITH YOU:
Photo album containing photos of you with each of your ex’s!
Any “little black book” you may have.

Some of this is from experience … some of it is there “just for fun”.
I’ll leave you to work out which is which ;-)

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

1. Put your clothes away after they've been washed.
2. Do not hang your undercracks on the bedroom door-knob.
3. Put all your personal possessions in a one pile when you move in - she will put them where she thinks they should go.
4. Do not attempt to give your own photos pride of place on the mantlepiece.
5. Do not complain about the phone bills - fact of life when there's a female in the house. Live with it.
6. DO NOT, under any circumstances "Dutch Oven*" her. Ever.


Good luck to you both, I know you'll be very happy together :D


* Dutch Oven:
Bloke farts under the duvet then shoves partner's head under it to give her the benefit.

If your at all unsure then dont bother ;-)....

hide your porn..........

REALLY Well............

hi vern.....................

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

When you are asked to help with the household chores Don,t reply
'listen love, you don,t buy a dog and bark yourself !' I tried it once, it doesnt work :D

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Remember to baptise every room :D Twice :D

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Dont ever let her catch you chewing your toe nails.

Leaving a calling card after sitting on the loo is not advisable.

Offering to help with menial tasks around the love nest is to be recommended if "slap and tickle" privileges are to be maintained.

Absent mindedly picking your nose at the dinner table is to be avoided at all times.

You must commit to s*x on a regular basis whether you want it or not.

HTH.:D

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

LOL, these are all good, keep em coming.

Would be good to hear a womans perspective

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Patience - on both sides which is what i'm trying to learn at the min - i'm the type of person (i guess it to with my job) that likes things done straight away not in a minute or later - its been hard but i am getting there

share the chores

let eachother rant if you've had a crap day but don't take that out on eachother

if your renting a house then you will both have space for "me time" i like to read Falc likes to do to geeky things on the computer or play on the Wii respect eachothers time

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Biggest advice I can give is:

Move in but don't even think about getting married!!!!!

Then all rights to under the cover action will be denied........my wedding ring acts like a chastity belt!!!

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Cautionary advice.....

On moving in you will find that you go at "it" like you could eat it, during the second year...you will wish you had!:p

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Ok, don't be fooled into getting up at the same time as her - she'll take at least 45 mins longer to get ready than you! So just stay in bed :D

Matt

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

:lol: Dont fight it Tara - this is entirely normal (wife) behaviour.

My only addition to these points is - keep hold of your personal time and personal interests as they will gradually erode over time.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

One other thing, although the art of breaking wind can be seen by most men as a positive thing many women find it crass and vulgar, however the ability to produce aformentioned noxiuos gases has turned me in to a one man fun factory :smt112

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Aren't you staying at Pete's Eats on the North Wales rideout? God 'elp 'em if you are! LMAO

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Put the toilet seat back down.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Isnt your missus a member of the site?

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

I hate the way women get so bloody minded about this one.

It's never bothered me if I get to the Little Dirk's Room and the seat is down. I just move it back up.

Yet, the tellnigs off I've had for leaving it up...you'd think I was doing it on purpose for some sort of nefarious reasons known only to myself.

Great, I'm ranting now!

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Speaking of moving in and girlfriend hows the builder :rolleyes:

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

like we're to believe you've had any female experience?

aaahh maybe your mum used to tell you off.....

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

"Mrs Viney" is indeed "one of us" :D

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Lol, yeah, judging by my recent performance I can see where you're coming from.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Can we get a mod to change Verna's username . . . :grin:

Master the art of saying "Yes Dear" at all times

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

LOL, Yes Verna is Bernardbikerchick of this site. I thought i would only start this one as a bit of humor. Most of the things that have been mentioned dont bother ewither of us..loo seats etc. Im more than happy to help put around the house, do whats needed doing, cook, etc, im right regular house trained me. Just that i kno its something that all us men have done in the past and something that us blokes joke about. But we wouldnt change it for the world to move in with the ones we love...isnt it guys???
Still keep em coming.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Since moving in with my missiz about 6 months ago, her levels of jealousy have shot through the roof. She even gets suspicious when I go out biking that I'm off to see some other girl . I got a lift back from london witgh a mates sister as she was going past oxford. I am still getting S**t about it now and that was months ago! I've never given her any reason to doubt me - think she just assumes that as we live togther, why would i need friends or passtimes that don't involve her, and she certainly can't grasp the concept of a friendship with women that doesn't involve sleeping with them.

-not helpful I know, but beware the green eyed monster! :smt106

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

In any sort of agreement, Jjst accept that you're wrong: It's so much easier. Until they cotton onto the fact that you're being insencere and then they get really nasty. :D

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Resist the urge to parade around the house wearing your ladies "Sunday best" underwear.She is bound to return home with a gaggle of friends when you least expect it.

Do not for one second believe that the parp you released 3 hours ago will escape her sense of smell when she enters the room of the said act,some 3 hours later.

Happy to offer further valuable advice.:cool:

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Consequently that was a cracking trip to the brothel yesterday ;)

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

All i can say is...












poor old BBC!! Does she know you're moving in or are you just gonna show up one day and say "Surprise!!!"
:lol:
good luck with it, there will be ups n downs no matter what so just enjoy it.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Please add the following to my earlier list:

Do not, under any circumstances, refer to her mother as.....

1. The Murder-in-Law
2. The Old Trout
3. A domestic water-heating applicance

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

If she really hates doing something - like for example the cooking dont just take on the role - as you will have it for life :(

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

The bitter voice of experience :)

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Absolutely. I can get away with most things because I understand cars, plumbing and electrics and can get in the loft; but this is a big no no.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

hmmm,

Ian - When you can't find something, try looking for it instead of expecting her to find it for you.

Vern - I refer you to the advice Jerry Hall's mother gave her when she married Mick Jagger - "He'll expect you to be the housemaid in the parlour, the cook in the kitchen and his ***** in the bedroom. Hire the first two and handle the rest yourself". Obviously that didn't quite work out for them ....

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

If Verna tells you she's cooking that evening and you agree, and say that's a nice idea, then remember to go home to eat it.

Someone nearly got a big pot of chilli in their bed because they stayed out in the pub instead.

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

Um, that wasn't anything to do with me, was it? :-s (and if it was, he forgot to mention it as he was ordering a burger with everything on). (and if it wasn't, then he's a serial offender).

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

No Debs, you're in the clear - the offence was committed with his workmates. ;)

Re: So then...Tips for moving in with the girlfriend
 

:lol: Sadly not, she knows. Im a lucky guy :)

Thanks Debs and Helen. Sadly, i'll probably be home most nights before her, so i'll be a cooking :) that and the fact im unbelievably fussy, i'll cook my own food anyway.

I really cant wait.:smt041:D
