THIS HAS TO GO OUT OF THE HOUSE IF YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE TOGETHER

I live together as you know. It didn't go without a hitch and of course I'm talking about the minor renovation and my talent for measuring things. That sometimes went wrong, you see. But anyway, the house is finished. It's been done for a while. I dutifully refresh the flowers every week, the Diptyque candles burn every day, I make sure I don't kick off my shoes and don't leave them lying around everywhere, and I neatly lay my clothes over a chair in the evening. Well, almost always.

Every time I come home again, I think: wow, what an incredibly cozy and nice house. We managed to fix that together without too much fuss about the interior. Some things really have to go out the door when you start living together. Are you still in a heated discussion about what can and cannot stay? Just shove this under his nose. Here at the Amayzine editorial office, we all agree.

– All kinds of glasses. Especially different beer glasses (which are probably taken from the pub). That can't stay.

– Pennants, medals, and other trophies can also go in a box.

– It's time for adult duvets; everything he slept under when he was a teenager has to go. Prints of race cars, red roses, and Playboy logos really can't stay. And oh yes, the only one who has slept under his duvet is you. Just for the feeling.

– The dartboard. Alright, a hook is allowed, and then he can hang it up when his friends come over.

- Collages of only drunken beer photos in the local dance club and collages with exes.

– I asked this question to a friend and she immediately shouted: “PLANTS, ALL THE PLANTS.”

– Game consoles need to be put away far.

– Too functional furniture (taken over from a friend or something) that is really comfortable but looks terrible.

– Horrible souvenirs from the past. Can basically go.

– Well, and then there are always a few clothing items that could also go to the Salvation Army, but maybe you should approach that a bit more systematically.
