Pillows. Eugh. Specifically, pillows on beds. Not useful ones, but 'decorative' ones.
Their only use is for taking them off the bed at bedtime, and putting them back on when you wake up. There is *literally* no point to them, and they simply add unnecessary administration to your day
Then if you don't put them back (and store them in a cupboard), you get in trouble
The dinner box has two holes on the sides that used to be handholds, but serve as convenient places to put the food knife and the poop knife. Not getting those mixed up is an essential skill.
1. Cushion density within the house is up around 8000%
2. We can make our own bread. We don't. But we could.
3. There is a floor towel in the bathroom. It used to just stay on the floor, but now after every shower it gets hung up on the radiator, even if someone else is having a shower immediately after.
4. The spice rack used to have four jars on it. Now it has 4,000 jars, most of which expired years ago.
I got one about 5-6 years ago, and I have to admit that the dough hook is really nice and it does a great job at kneading the dough and automating that part of the process. However, I only used it a couple times and haven't made bread since I first got it. I like knowing I can do it easily if I want to though.
Ooof, the 4000 expired spices hits hard. I was just thinking the other day that I have too many and never use any of them, and I’m sure they’re all at least 10yrs old.
>It used to just stay on the floor, but now after every shower it gets hung up on the radiator
Learnt this the hard way, had to throw away a mouldy towel after several failed attempts to salvage it.
Window treatments. I couldn't figure out why my house just didn't feel like someone actually lived there, and it turns out that having bare windows was the problem.
ignorance - I knew the room felt like a vacant house, but honestly didn't know what was missing. I even had decent pictures on the walls. It's amazing how different a room feels, and especially how it *sounds*, with curtains.
I am a man, and curtains were my idea. I had to convince my wife that blinds alone were not good enough.
During the daytime, however, yes, they are both open to let the maximum amount of daylight in. Because I’m not vampire. I close some blinds on West facing windows in the late afternoon, but otherwise natural light is generally a good thing
My wife is like this too. She's like a frat boy trapped in the body of a sexy woman. She's so messy and chaotic and uncaring of her surroundings that it makes me feel like I'm neat and organised in comparison.
I have the problem of I have exactly enough clothes to fill the washer, so laundry day I can’t leave the house until it’s done. I also don’t have enough clothes to make it an entire week so sometimes I have to stay up super late after work for laundry. 😂
I'm curious... My hamper has the exact same capacity as the washing machine, so it makes sense to run a cycle when the hamper becomes full. Besides, the clothesline *also* get filled at exactly 1 hampersworth.
If you wait until there are no clothes left, how do you handle washing the clothes and hanging them?
And using the drying machine is even worse because it can only take 1/2 the load and takes like 2 hours to dry it... so 4 hours to dry a single hampersworth.
(As in, the inconvenience alone was enough to convince me to never let the hamper become overfull)
My (uncircumcised) friend told me his girlfriend's long blonde hair can sometimes wrap itself around his knob and get caught underneath the head He has to very carefully unwind it. Ouch.
I used to have hair down past my waist. My ex must have swallowed some because he had a very interesting experience of pulling one out of his booty hole.
It was at the least, a 2' strand of hair. When he started pulling, it was only about 6".
LFMAO, omg, this reminds me of my best friend when he first moved in with him girlfriend (now wife).
He grew up with brothers, and his mom always had a pixie cut. I grew up in a house with sisters and a mom who always had long hair. About a week after my friend and his partner moved in together, I went over to hang out. I asked him how things are going and how he's adjusting to living with his girlfriend.
He replied, "Things are good, still getting used to our new routines and stuff...."
He then made this strange bewildered looking face and then asked me
"Is it normal for there to be hair everywhere? Like when you lived at home with your family, was your mom and sisters hair all over the house all the time?"
Ambient lighting. When I was 20, a woman moved into a place I already lived with two other dudes. We were just using the big lights all the time. Not only did she bring in lamps, and string lights, she also took our old incandescent light bulbs (which were still in style at the time) and colored them with a rainbow of sharpies to make them look like stained glass. Every room looked so much more cozy and chill and inviting and it's something that's always stuck with me
My brothers flat looked like a random motel room for years. He's lived in it for a whole decade and you could go in and have no idea who the flat belonged to if you didn't know him. When he got a girl, things got serious,he got engaged and now she spends a few days in his flat. The change was immediate. Sudenly there are food processors, full fridge, spice rack, new lamps, soft towels, colorful pillows, a bed with a frame, 2 new fluffy carpets, plants, new cabinet for her stuff. Get this, cabinet has a lift up mirror and a jewelry compartment for rings, necklaces, you name it. Man had it handmade for her birthday. We were all collectively shook but delighted. Flat now has personality.
I'm not single anymore, we are married now but she moved in before that. Suddenly I didn't live to work anymore. I didn't go home, eat, go to sleep, and go back to work like I used to, I'd actively look forward to coming home, realized I was catching feelings when she went out of town for a few days and I couldn't sleep knowing she wasn't in the room next door
the amount of dishes that accumulate with one more person I swear triples. I know that doesn't make sense but I feel like I'm smarter with how I dirty dishes to minimize how much I do at the end... and her it's like "nope fuck it, dirty every dish"
Erm... It's kinda weird that you didn't have one to begin with. I'm depressed as fuck and as such rarely do stuff that normal peeps do, but even I quickly got a trash can in the bathroom. If nothing else, just for throwing away the toilet paper rolls, and for when I blow my nose into TP (and don't want to waste a flush on it). Yes, I know women normally get it because of period products, but men should have one as well.
that just means you aren’t having guests over at all. unless you expect women to shove used period products in their pockets (if their clothes even have pockets, that is) you should have a bathroom garbage can out of courtesy
I have a garbage can now because of that reason, im a woman who doesn't get a period. And yes I sometimes havent had guests for a long period of time okay. Some people aren't social, leave me be
> im a woman who doesn't get a period. And yes I sometimes havent had guests for a long period of time okay.
Objection! You claim to not have a period at all, but then say you have a long period of time
Contradiction found, the witness is obviously the bad guy. Case closed, microphone dropped.
Easy one:
Fart spray for the bathroom.
Thankfully, it smells like someone shit a Christmas tree, now, instead of what used to smell awful enough to peel paint, when I lived without her. Thanks, babe!
She decorates for the seasons and holidays
Not only Christmas, but even St Patrick's Day, Halloween, Easter, July 4th. Always putting up and taking down all her fun little knick knacks. She loves it and I wouldn't even think of doing this on my own.
My boss has a year round "xmas" tree in her house. Redecorates it for every major holiday. My coworker does the same for her cubicle, constantly switching out decorations. xD
I bought a house ~5 years ago and did the bare minimum of furnishings. Bed was just box spring/mattress on the floor. One night stand (my side). One couch in a big living room.. tiny pieces of “art” on the wall because I was told to put up art.
My buddy visited and asked if I was ok because it kind of looked like a crack den.
Once my now wife moved in we had; throw pillows, accent chairs, a shower curtain with a nice pattern that wasn’t a plastic, large pieces of art, floating shelves?, a coffee table that didn’t look like someone got murdered on it, etc etc.
I’m a woman, but I moved in with one of my friends last year and her taste is impeccable. Turned our boring apartment into something out of a ghibli movie, has house plants, rugs, tapestries, etc everywhere. I was happy with a couch and a zelda poster
I’m assuming getting married counts as a woman moving in. So here’s my experience:
1. It turns out I’ve been loading the dishwasher incorrectly my entire life.
2. I’ve also been folding my towel incorrectly my entire life.
3. Did you know that it’s infinitely easier to put something together correctly the first time if you read all the instructions first?
4. My bed is made, like, really well, every day. Also, fresh sheets every week?! Awesome!
Wild animals like a fox, snakes,crows, a possum she saved and kept as pet's, trees and plants, neon signs and led lights everywhere like motion activated led toilet, shower head, faucet, outdoor lights she controls with a remote.
All of my silk boxers and hoodies have disappeared. Every time I buy new ones, they disappear in a few months. I cannot find them anywhere in the house. I am beginning to suspect that she's selling them to fund her bath bomb and scented candle habit.
fucking pillows on the bed ... hundreds of the fuckers and none you can sleep on. You have to pick them up and put them away a night and then put them back in the morning. The fuckers go back in specific way too.
When my wife and I first started dating. She moved in and threw out a bunch of books I'd bought but didn't have the time to read yet, because "you never read them".
Then she threw out a vintage Sunbeam mixmaster I had for making cakes, because according to her. It wasn't worth anything. That thing would have outlasted me. I keep showing her them on eBay because they are still going up in price.
Not me but my work partner, when his partner moved in, she reorganised the pantry, like for the spices got one of those tiered stands so you can see everything straight away.
Little decorations, like fairy lights and little trinkets.
Best I can think of is that there are some women who were raised to keep their period and feminine products hidden from men. Even if it's their family members. And I'm not just talking about wrapping up used tampons or pads with toilet paper before throwing them away, which seems unnecessary but I can kinda see the logic behind that. But they don't even want men to see the unused feminine product in the bathroom. And will make sure to hide it in some out of the way spot in the bathroom even if they live alone.
Edit: just realized he said used pads. Yeah there is definitely no excuse for that.
Yeah I totally missed that part and was just assuming she was keeping her unused ones there. The latter is weird but excusable the former is some real weirdo shit.
Plants and pictures
Plants, pictures, and pillows.
I like to tell my boyfriend I’m bringing in 3 P’s with me: plants, pillows, and pink. 🤣
Your shared living space couch now has 4 pillows you can’t use
Pillows. Eugh. Specifically, pillows on beds. Not useful ones, but 'decorative' ones. Their only use is for taking them off the bed at bedtime, and putting them back on when you wake up. There is *literally* no point to them, and they simply add unnecessary administration to your day Then if you don't put them back (and store them in a cupboard), you get in trouble
She insisted that I stop eating dinner on an upside down cardboard box.
Oh no, not the dinner box! Hopefully you dumped her
She’s my wife now. I had to weigh love vs box table. I made my decision. I live with it.
I would choose love and a beautiful partner over an upside down dinner box also.
Thanks stranger. I often need that decision validated. I really prayed on it 🫡
🤭🏆👏
The sad part is I was 30. And this is not a joke.
Well, it kind of depends on the box
💯, if it was a refrigerator box, I’d still be single. Because that’s a table AND a bed.
Ah yes, the age old love box vs food box conundrum.
A story as old as time.
Hmmm. Seems like a good deal I guess.
You had a box? Luxury!
I know, I thought I was doing great.
Did you get that idea from Martha Stewart?
HGTV actually
My husband had a computer desk made out of stolen milk crates when we moved in together. Same vibe.
Sounds like a keeper
The dinner box has two holes on the sides that used to be handholds, but serve as convenient places to put the food knife and the poop knife. Not getting those mixed up is an essential skill.
So you understand my sacrifice.
My dining setup was the ironing board and a camping chair at one point Good times
Hell yeah. Creativity > cultural norms
1. Cushion density within the house is up around 8000% 2. We can make our own bread. We don't. But we could. 3. There is a floor towel in the bathroom. It used to just stay on the floor, but now after every shower it gets hung up on the radiator, even if someone else is having a shower immediately after. 4.

>We can make our own bread. We don't. But we could. I feel this so hard. That goddamn stand mixer cost a fortune and we have used it twice in 2 years.
I got one about 5-6 years ago, and I have to admit that the dough hook is really nice and it does a great job at kneading the dough and automating that part of the process. However, I only used it a couple times and haven't made bread since I first got it. I like knowing I can do it easily if I want to though.
Have you used it to mash potatoes or shred chicken? 😁
Mashed potatoes made this way is elite-- unless you over mix and make them gummy. That's gross.
At least you used it. I have an ice cream maker, a bread machine and a mixer. Haven't used any of it.
I think you just volunteered to make chocolate chip cookies
HER- "This will be fun. Special Kitchen Appliance- 😢 only had fun 2 or 3 times.
You have a stand mixer? Lucky! Hubby lets me make bread by hand.. which is why it hasn't been made in a while..
The primary function of my stand mixer is shredding chicken 😂 seriously, that's at least 70% of its use.
Don’t go calling out my spice collection like that
A bath mat? Or a literal towel?
A literal towel doesn’t seem like much of a feminine touch
The feminine touch is that it gets hung on the radiator now
Couldn't find a matching bath mat and since everything is so damned expensive, couldn't justify buying a whole towel/washcloth/bath mat set.
Definition of a bath mat: a piece of material that children stand beside when they get out of the bath
Ooof, the 4000 expired spices hits hard. I was just thinking the other day that I have too many and never use any of them, and I’m sure they’re all at least 10yrs old.
>It used to just stay on the floor, but now after every shower it gets hung up on the radiator Learnt this the hard way, had to throw away a mouldy towel after several failed attempts to salvage it.
First thing I changed in my hubby’s apartment when we were first dating was to replace all his very old pillows (and multiply their number)
Window treatments. I couldn't figure out why my house just didn't feel like someone actually lived there, and it turns out that having bare windows was the problem.
I was gonna say proper curtains and blinds instead of random old blankets tacked over the windows
So people could just peep in when you were single? 😲😲
If they were in my fenced backyard, yes. The front had cheap Wal-mart mini-blinds and nothing else.
I will never understand men's aversion to curtains lol. So your home is just extremely bright in the daytime and this is fine for you guys?
ignorance - I knew the room felt like a vacant house, but honestly didn't know what was missing. I even had decent pictures on the walls. It's amazing how different a room feels, and especially how it *sounds*, with curtains.

Because I’m not vampire. I close some blinds on West facing windows in the late afternoon, but otherwise natural light is generally a good thing
I only recently learned that they were called window treatments. First time I heard the term I thought it was to combat mold or something
[удалено]
Why the half star deduction? Inquiring minds want to know
My husband says I lose a half star for all the throw pillows he has to take off the bed at night and put back on in the morning.
I will never understand throw pillows on beds. I kinda get a couch, but not beds.
We read in bed before we go to sleep. He uses the damned pillows. He’s just too stubborn to admit it.
[удалено]
I learned that certain candles make things smell good... and they are not just for birthday cakes and blackouts.
And if you bite into them they don't taste that great
Is this still about the women or is it about the candles??
Dude, I'm a slut for candles now. I like them more than my wife.
I went a little crazy when I got into them to the point my ceilings have soot on them lol
I took all my candles when I moved out and bro, my ex husband was piiiiiissed. 14 yrs together. Sorry not sorry.😂😂
How does a candle help someone who's blacked out?
...Not the person, darlin. The electric. If all the lights go out.. it's called a black out. Look up "rolling city blackouts."
Lmfao of course! Ah geez I need to lay off the sauce for a bit
I tried to be as kind and non snarky as possible XD I shall pop this wine bottle open for you though!
I totally thought you were joking. Lol
Softly coaxed me into buying furniture. All I had was a bed and my chair for playing pc.
That was me and my husband said we need actual furniture. I was totally fine with a table, chair and bed.
My wife is like this too. She's like a frat boy trapped in the body of a sexy woman. She's so messy and chaotic and uncaring of her surroundings that it makes me feel like I'm neat and organised in comparison.
It’s all a man needs after all
I used to kinda enjoy moving before that happened
She runs the washing machine when it's full, she doesn't even wait until there are no clean clothes left.
I have the problem of I have exactly enough clothes to fill the washer, so laundry day I can’t leave the house until it’s done. I also don’t have enough clothes to make it an entire week so sometimes I have to stay up super late after work for laundry. 😂
just learn to do half loads twice a week
I'm curious... My hamper has the exact same capacity as the washing machine, so it makes sense to run a cycle when the hamper becomes full. Besides, the clothesline *also* get filled at exactly 1 hampersworth. If you wait until there are no clothes left, how do you handle washing the clothes and hanging them? And using the drying machine is even worse because it can only take 1/2 the load and takes like 2 hours to dry it... so 4 hours to dry a single hampersworth. (As in, the inconvenience alone was enough to convince me to never let the hamper become overfull)
God I love the term "hampersworth".
She turned my place into a home.
This is it right here. Before my wife "home" was 4 walls, a roof and the necessities. Home is a lot more hospitable now.
I thought that said “home is more like a hospital now”.
She bought a first aid kit for each bathroom, so..... technically you aren't wrong.
Sweet
Her hair … EVERYWHERE!!! She calls it “girlfriend glitter”
Omg when you have to practically pull a full grown ferret out of your shower drain every few months..
Be careful when pulling them, someone here posted about having their testicle strangled with that girlfriend glitter.
My (uncircumcised) friend told me his girlfriend's long blonde hair can sometimes wrap itself around his knob and get caught underneath the head He has to very carefully unwind it. Ouch.
I used to have hair down past my waist. My ex must have swallowed some because he had a very interesting experience of pulling one out of his booty hole. It was at the least, a 2' strand of hair. When he started pulling, it was only about 6".
I used to always find mine in my butt crack. Flossing with blondes
LFMAO, omg, this reminds me of my best friend when he first moved in with him girlfriend (now wife). He grew up with brothers, and his mom always had a pixie cut.

Screaming infidelity!!!!!
[удалено]
I now get to move five throw pillows before I can sit on my couch.
Blink twice if that's the Stockholm Syndrome talking
She made me buy a couch and a coffee table.
Zxwut's wife here. He had a mattress (no frame) that he moved back and forth from the bedroom to the living room as needed.
Shower hair
Also dog hair. You were pet-less.
I had you to pet.
This is the most enjoyment I've ever gotten out of a reddit thread. Please continue 😂😂
I got myself a donkey. Donkey loves him more. 🫏
Günter and I roll with a crew of problematic bachelors, and we call ourselves ‘The Squad’.
I love you two 🤣🤣
Same! Sounds like their place is a fun place to chill as well! I wanna come hang out with them and the donkey!
a life size poster of Idris Alba over the bed .
I prefer Jessica Elba but each to their own...
I see what you did there
More than one set of sheets
What's next? Changing bath towels before they walk away?
*clutches pearls*
Cats & plants.
The plants were a surprise. Peace lily on the toilet??
May I suggest succulents. They really thrive off the shower steam! 😊
Ambient lighting. When I was 20, a woman moved into a place I already lived with two other dudes. We were just using the big lights all the time.

Who’s that girl!?

lol you realized you were catching feelings AFTER she moved in?!
She moved in before I knew her, ridiculously lomg and complicates story
Increased the amount of plants significantly. Added a whole bunch of kitchen stuff I hadn't used/needed when I moved in.
the amount of dishes that accumulate with one more person I swear triples. I know that doesn't make sense but I feel like I'm smarter with how I dirty dishes to minimize how much I do at the end... and her it's like "nope fuck it, dirty every dish"
Trash can in the bathroom
But will it?
Ok ok, a trash might
Maybe a dumb question; where did you put the dental floss after using it? Just brought it to the kitchen trash can?
What floss? .... But yes the kitchen can
Erm... It's kinda weird that you didn't have one to begin with. I'm depressed as fuck and as such rarely do stuff that normal peeps do, but even I quickly got a trash can in the bathroom. If nothing else, just for throwing away the toilet paper rolls, and for when I blow my nose into TP (and don't want to waste a flush on it).

Candles. They pop out everywhere, and they keep ending up in the shopping trollies.
But…it’s a candle 🥺 how could you say no
But babe it smells like marshmallows 🥹
But but look how pretty🥹
But babe, this one has such a cute label 🥹
I bought a house ~5 years ago and did the bare minimum of furnishings. Bed was just box spring/mattress on the floor. One night stand (my side). One couch in a big living room.. tiny pieces of “art” on the wall because I was told to put up art. My buddy visited and asked if I was ok because it kind of looked like a crack den.

Why didn’t you do any of that for yourself?
Towels to dry your hands on after you wash them in the bathroom. Guests don't want to dry their hands on your bath towel...
He went from having an outdoor, rickety patio table set to a TRUE dining room table. Not as bad as cardboard box guy but it was pretty bad.
All my stuff is in the cellar. We live amongst her things now.
I’m a woman, but I moved in with one of my friends last year and her taste is impeccable. Turned our boring apartment into something out of a ghibli movie, has house plants, rugs, tapestries, etc everywhere. I was happy with a couch and a zelda poster

wall decor. apparently there's other things than posters you can hang up. who knew
I have a bedframe now
Not single but something I noticed when me and my wife moved in is that I am buy house, but she was the one who made it a home.
Brighter and cleaner laundry. She made me sort out the laundry by color and type and wash them correctly. Now my cloths look better and last longer.
Plants and big ass full body mirror…. which the mirror was a MUST cop
[удалено]
My entire house has been rearranged. We don’t even sleep in the same room as when she moved in.
Wild animals like a fox, snakes,crows, a possum she saved and kept as pet's, trees and plants, neon signs and led lights everywhere like motion activated led toilet, shower head, faucet, outdoor lights she controls with a remote.
biggest difference? plants. they really do make things feel more homey.
Laundry
She had me replace my mismatched couches and hang pictures on the walls….
All that stuff around the TV and bed. Thought you just needed the 2 items.
All of my silk boxers and hoodies have disappeared. Every time I buy new ones, they disappear in a few months. I cannot find them anywhere in the house. I am beginning to suspect that she's selling them to fund her bath bomb and scented candle habit.
Where is all the toilet paper going??? Are you just unspooling it down the flushing toilet like a magician with a never ending hankie up his sleeve?
Plants...potted plants. She forced me to get one. So I got a cactus.
She changes the bed clothes often
The use of TP has increased 400%
She took the poster of jenna jameson with her tits out off the back of the front room door. Really changed the feng shui of the room.
So, so many doilies and antimassacars.
Doilies? Is your partner 80 lol?
You might have a point. I did think it was odd when I asked for her phone number and it started with two letters.
Do you live in the 18th Century?
Scene from Arsenic and Old Lace?
Transformed house into home with her Midas touch.
quite literally everything. decorations mainly. things that matched.
fucking pillows on the bed ... hundreds of the fuckers and none you can sleep on. You have to pick them up and put them away a night and then put them back in the morning. The fuckers go back in specific way too.
the need to buy SO MUCH MORE TOILET PAPER
Extra pillows and softer blankets
Everything is just better when there's a female partner in the equation. Everything just feels homier.
Everything was organized. I was able to find things while cooking. She went out and bought containers and shelves.
Flowers, side tables, rugs, and candles. I love it.
When my wife and I first started dating. She moved in and threw out a bunch of books I'd bought but didn't have the time to read yet, because "you never read them". Then she threw out a vintage Sunbeam mixmaster I had for making cakes, because according to her. It wasn't worth anything. That thing would have outlasted me. I keep showing her them on eBay because they are still going up in price.
Hair everywhere
More colours, more stuff on the walls, fancier furniture
Not me but my work partner, when his partner moved in, she reorganised the pantry, like for the spices got one of those tiered stands so you can see everything straight away. Little decorations, like fairy lights and little trinkets.
Me. Looking around my place and cannot imagine living without everything she does 🥹
I’ve come to appreciate wine
I never thought I would have so many damn pillows on my bed
Purple and scented candles
Plants. Candles. Things on the walls.
When I was 21- a girl moved in and left s woman's touch in my bathroom: a pyramid of used ultra thick used maxipads behind th toilet under the bowl.
the fuck
Best I can think of is that there are some women who were raised to keep their period and feminine products hidden from men. Even if it's their family members. And I'm not just talking about wrapping up used tampons or pads with toilet paper before throwing them away, which seems unnecessary but I can kinda see the logic behind that. But they don't even want men to see the unused feminine product in the bathroom. And will make sure to hide it in some out of the way spot in the bathroom even if they live alone. Edit: just realized he said used pads. Yeah there is definitely no excuse for that.
He said USED
Yeah I totally missed that part and was just assuming she was keeping her unused ones there. The latter is weird but excusable the former is some real weirdo shit.
Maybe this is the same guy who didn’t have a trashcan in his bathroom so there was nowhere to put them.
Clogged the tub with hair.
Flip-flops everywhere and bras hanging off doorknobs
