1. The jealousy factor
Expectation: I'm not the crazy jealous type. I'm easy, breezy.
Reality: Who the hell is he texting now?
2. The work / friends / relationship balance
Expectation: I will never be one of those people who falls off the face of the planet when they get into a relationship. I hate those people.
Reality: You haven't seen any of your friends for six weeks. You haven't been home for the weekend for several months. And you've forgotten what your flatmates look like.
3. When your other half goes away for the weekend
Expectation: Finally! A weekend all to yourself. There are friends and Kardashians to be caught up with, shops to be visited and an absolute mountain of laundry to be done.
Reality: You're a little bit lonely. When does he get home again?
4. The money situation
Reality: You're bound to save a few shekels once you shack up with someone.
Expectation: Halving your rent = more money saved than you could have possibly imagined.
5. Complimenting eachother
Expectation: Romantic, sweeping gestures.
Reality:
That's a long list.
6. The communication
Expectation: Pfft, I saw him this morning. I don't need to talk to him today.
Reality: He's online. There are two ticks blue ticks after my message. Why the hell hasn't he replied? Is he dead?
7. The spooning
Expectation:
All of the snuggles all night.
Reality:
Personal space required. All of the personal space.
Sprite, the truth is refreshing.
