Have you ever been forced to wait for something for so long and with such anticipation that once it rolls around it catches you completely off-guard? Well. I’d been going quietly about my day today, entering the piles of paperwork that have been covering my desk for the past month, while my mind was off in the clouds—nervous about meeting every single member of Mr. Dachshund’s extended family this weekend.
Then it hit me.
Mr. Dachshund will be here soon. In-two-weeks soon.
For.
Good.
Please don’t misunderstand; I am absolutely excited and thrilled that Mr. D and I get to start our life together, for realz. However. I’m also anxious, nervous, overwhelmed and, well, just a tiny bit terrified.
I’ve lived by myself for quite a long time. While Mr. D prooobably won’t mind my habit of walking around in my underwear, I’m sure he won’t appreciate my pants lying on the floor on the exact spot in which they were removed… a habit I’ll soon have try to break. I’ll let you guys in on a little secret: I suffer from an aversion to housework.
It’s not just the superficial things I’m nervous about.
I’ve been waiting for this day to come for so long that I never really thought about the changes that it’d bring about… it’s a little bit scary. I think that feeling is justified… change is always scary, right?
On the other hand, sometimes change is “for the better”! When I catch myself mulling over everything in my life that will soon be different, I try to remember why living with Mr. Doxie will be wonderful:
So! Two short, short weeks. Though I’m more nervous than I ever thought I would be, I’m beyond excited. I. Cannot. Wait. I’m ready to embrace every change that will be thrown at me!
With that in mind, what was the best change that you experienced after moving in with your SO?
that’s so exciting! There was a 98 day period (yes i counted down every day) last year where i was living in DC and my fiance was home in the UK until his visa came through… it was the longest 98 days ever, but once it was over it was the best thing ever!
That’s so exciting Miss D! And that’s a good idea to keep your mind on the good things!
I often suffer from an aversion to housework, but also hate when the Mr eats my left overs hahaha.
Congrats! I bet you big day will be amazing!
I think it’s completely normal to be a little scared — it’s a big change, iven if it’s one for the better! I remember when I moved in with Mr. FF and I kept thinking, “I’m going to be living with a BOY!” It was surreal.
It’s been great, and a learning experience for the both of us. I think the best change kind of ties into what you said about being able to kiss Mr. Dachshund– Mr. FF has made me laugh every single day we’ve been together. Now, when he makes me laugh, I can lean over and kiss him, too! 
Recently, I went through some of those same feelings before moving in with my FI after many years of a LDR. The best thing, by far, is seeing him every day. Good luck with your changes; I know they will be for the better!
There are so many new and wonderful things about now living with my fiance! He and I were separated by distance as well (he’s from Canada and I live in Boston). Now that he is here, the best thing has been coming home to him at the end of a long day. He’s usually cooking in the kitchen, and so I’ll stand there and drink a glass of wine or snack while he’s cooking, telling him about my day, hearing about his, and just generally enjoying the every-day routine… together! Good luck with your changes, they are going to be fantastic I am sure!
Oh my gosh, so exciting!! But oh yeah, I remember when I moved in with Mr. Fro Yo and we were laying in bed together in our new house and I just kept thinking, holy crap, we LIVE together. I mean I was excited but also a little terrified. And now it’s so great.
Yay! That is so incredibly exciting! Being a former long-distance fiance - I am so excited for you to have this big change! And I just offer one warning - time is going to fly by! As soon as my FI and I were reunited we were having so much fun that I have no idea where the time went! Nothing to be scared of!
Oh, I was terrified of moving in with the Mister! Despite the fact that I’ve known him for so long, we had only been dating for a month! I debated not doing it, but my mom said to me “You’re young, you’ve got nothing to lose. If it doesn’t work out, you’re more than welcome to come stay with me unil you get your feet back on the ground.” It was by far the best advice I’ve ever recieved. Sure, there are things here and there that come up, but I’ve never been happier. And that’s the best feeling ever.
I think the best part was not having to live with crazy roommates anymore! Oh the drama they would cause. The worst part. . .we are both so, so messy.
Honestly, the best part is the feeling that we’ve been doing this FOREVER. Yes, there have been adjustments, but I think we’ve both been surprised at how easy and natural everything feels. For the first time since I left my parent’s home, I feel AT HOME.
omg - i’m totaly tearing up reading this! how exciting and wonderful for you!
and how many of us have ALL thought this at least once?
i also have a new love for you in my heart as i too have to break the habit of leaving my pants on the floor where i stepped out of them until wash day!
good to know i’m not the only one!
I do the pants thing too. Don’t sweat it - my man has gotten used to it. When I leave my clothes lying around, he makes a nice little passive aggressive pile and then eventually hints that I should move them. If you need any advice on how to deal, I have a lot of experience in how to get him to lower his expectations.
Totally normal! I was so worried living w/ Mr Frenchie would get in the way of my morning routine :-/ I feel so badly saying that now! He is wonderful and lets me get ready w/ the bathroom ALL to myself.
I’m so excited for you and Mr Dozie
I can finally cook for us! We’ve been dating for over two years, and for the first year, we were in the same city but about a half hour away, vs for the last year, I was in NYC and he was in Pittsburgh. For that first year, I’d stay at his house a lot, and his kitchen *sucked*. I remember making brownies in his roommate’s chili pot because it was the only bowl they owned! But now, we’re in the same place and I have my wonderful kitchen supplies with me, and it’s awesome Cooking for two is so much better than cooking for just one.
oh miss doxie, that’s exactly what i’m waiting for with me and my long distance boy! i can’t wait for us to finally be together in the same place for good.
That’s so exciting!
I can’t wait until we both graduate (May) and I finally won’t have to live half of the time in LG and half of the time in Atlanta.
When my FI moved in after a year and a half of long distance, I was thrilled and terrified all at the same time. What if we couldn’t stand living together? But it was fantastic and I love him even more now than I ever thought I could. It will be fabulous for you! Congrats on a huge milestone!
Oh, you have so many wonderful experiences to look forward to! I’m very excited for you guys!!
Yes, there will be a lot of small things to get used to with each other, but the best thing in the entire world is waking up with each other every morning!
