21x why living together with a girlfriend is a good idea

The first two weeks are over. As you know, I recently moved into a new little house. I traded the busy hectic center full of rolling suitcases for cozy and relaxed Amsterdam-Zuid. This time I am not living alone, but with a roommate. Of course, that takes some getting used to, because suddenly you are never alone anymore. But living together with a girlfriend has a whole lot of advantages. I must say that I hit the jackpot. I mention a shared laundry addiction, we both end up in bed at some point every day and then we both get up at 6 in the morning next to the bed to go exercising. And I haven't even mentioned the OCD behavior that we both exhibit. PARTY then. Do you, like me, need to find a new place and are you not sure if you can handle living together with roommates? Here are the advantages of living together with a girlfriend, or at least a female roommate.

  1. Number one: you just have two wardrobes.
  2. The toilet seat is NEVER up.
  3. And the toilet roll is always hanging correctly.
  4. There are always tampons in the house.
  5. There is always someone who can judge your outfit.
  6. Doing laundry is a party. At least, if you are both addicted to laundry...
  7. You can always roam around in your underwear without shame, who cares.
  8. On weekends, you can spend hours discussing the night before after a party. Just in your undies with a liter of coffee in hand.
  9. There is always someone at home with whom you can discuss your date.
  10. There is always something on the table in the evening.
  11. There is always someone who can come to your rescue when you are once again lying on the couch with a bag of M&M's. Or not, of course...
  12. You never have to be afraid of oversleeping.
  13. If you both exercise, there is always someone who kicks you off the couch to go.
  14. You can share the cleaning tasks. More time for other things then.
  15. You just have your personal therapist at home.
  16. Binge-watching Netflix on the couch is definitely more fun together than alone.
  17. There is always someone who can zip up your zipper.
  18. There is always someone who can pierce that closed-up hole in your ear.
  19. Headache, stomachache, grumpy? She understands why.
  20. You can always throw a party without having to leave the house.
  21. A bottle of wine can always be opened, it will be finished anyway.
