I see what you're saying. But the thing is, I'm not a difficult person at all. I am always accomodating. I used to be a doormat. Growing up I always went with what my brothers wanted to watch- I ended up watching tv in a ser=parate room from time to time- I guess it's just that I've become like this from basically living by myself for nearly ten years. Though I have lived with boyfriends in the past, but they were much neater. . . . . . But I also never felt for anyone like I do for my current boyfriend- so I feel very conflicted. I don't want to be a *****, but I also don't want to be the one always to do the grunt work. As for the cohabitation- I understand. I guess I'm a bit touchy- I've been through things that have changed me (I'd rather not talk about it) and it's made me a bit more sensitive to my space- especially to the idea of someone I don't know coming in and looking around my home, especially my bedroom. I'm not as upset as I was- I very much downplayed my annoyance when I spoke to my boyfriend earlier too because I realized that my feelings might be a bit of an overreaction . . . I guess I'll have to get past this . ..
