Ok, so ever since my bf has temporarily moved in with me, I feel like I hven't had too much time to come here- plus we've become obsessed with the show 'Dexter' I had always heard about it but couldn't watch it because it was on Showtime, now we are catching up online ..
The latest episode is so sad . .. Rita dies, I feel like the show is over now that she's died, . . . so sad.
But more so, I feel like it's hard to stay organized, my bf tries, but it's hard, we get so caught up when we're together things sorta fall to the wayside. along with some of my habits. but that's sorta good, because as long as he's around, I haven't been binge eating as much, which I guess I've been sorta in denial about how often I do that because now I'm forced to go through 'withdrawal' from it. At least I'm saving money- not wasting it on binge food and my bf's been helping me pay the bills and buy some of the food while he stays here. He's waiting until he's done going through these phases for this new full time server position so then he can find a new place of his own. He's been here about a month so far, I think at this rate it'll be another 2 months or so. I mostly like it, but I also crave my space. . ..

youre right, the show really changed after rita died...lol.....
having someone move in really does change the dynamics but from what you are saying, most of them are good,,,,except for your lack of personal space. you just have to find a way to carve that out. maybe when he is at work find a way to be really mindful of that time away from him and enjoy it, even if you are doing something else. if your free hours are together take some time to yourself by taking a bath or going into the bedroom to read or do some puzzles. just tell him you need and hour or so to yourself. take care.

I agree with Kaliope. Her advice is very good.

Ever since my husband retired it's hard for me to get any alone time. I work all day so when I get home i need some peace and quiet. After about 5 years, he's getting the hang of letting just be for a while.
