Cee Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I moved in with my boyfriend today and I am so exhausted I can barely see straight. But this has been one of the nicest days so far in our relationship. My boyfriend has been treating me moving in like the best thing. He told me this morning he had everything he ever wanted - a good career, a great apartment, his motorcycle, and me (not necessarily in that order). His joyful outburst was quite moving, considering he's not a morning person. And then as I unpacked, he ran these little errands for me. Part of it was because he wanted an excuse to ride his motorcycle, but also for me. While that went on, I drew a hot bath. He made me dinner and we watched Democracy Now and the Daily Show. We cuddled on the sofa just like we'd do on any normal date. And now he's playing Team Fortress 2 and I hear him in his office. It's good he has a hobby like that because I'm beyond tired. And I need a little time for myself. My only unexpected complaint about the move is I'm completely disoriented. I lose things quickly and don't have a routine. I'm running around in circles in the apartment, but it's fun too. I'm exploring the concept that his place is now our place. I have nothing dramatic to report, but I've been posting on LS about this relationship from day one. I wanted to share.
AHardDaysNight Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Good for you, Cee! I'm glad things are working out for you.
HappyPanda Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Congrats, Cee!! Im happy for you two. Ive been following your threads about this because my boyfriend and I have talked a lot about moving in together this coming spring.... and sometimes I get reeeeeeeeally anxious about it (although I have absolutely no reason to be) but most of the time, I simply cant wait for us to start a life together. Your hesitance initially was eerily similar to mine, I think I may have even responded to a few posts as such... I hope than if/when our day comes, its as lovely as yours
Alexz Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Sounds great. I play Team Fortress 2 also, if he needs an LS buddy.
carhill Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for the update and we don't expect to hear from you for a good long while Enjoy!
daphne Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Good stuff Cee. Glad to see that you're happy and everything's going well.
Feelin Frisky Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Fortunate guy. I don't think I'd quite be playing video games at that particular time though. Have a joyful time.
OliveOyl Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Congratulations Cee! I hope it's a very long and happy partnership
oaks Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 He told me this morning he had everything he ever wanted - a good career, a great apartment, his motorcycle, and me (not necessarily in that order). The correct order is his motorcycle first, then everything else. And then as I unpacked, he ran these little errands for me. Part of it was because he wanted an excuse to ride his motorcycle, but also for me. See! Even on moving-in day he needs to go and ride his bike! Anyway, congratulations.
Emilia Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Sounds wonderful Cee, I'm very pleased you made the right decision by moving in
Mme. Chaucer Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I'm happy for you. I know you'll enjoy the adventure of forming a "family" and all the companionship. Have fun!
Author Cee Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Fortunate guy. I don't think I'd quite be playing video games at that particular time though. Have a joyful time. Haha, we had an afternoon interlude already. I might have been up for a second round, but I was deranged from exhaustion by 8 pm. I was glad he chose to give me some space. I'm happy to report I had my first solid sleep in over a week. I went to bed at 10 pm and slept until 8 am. Finally, I didn't wake up at 4 am worrying about my job and move. I needed that so badly. Welikeincrowds brought up an interesting point about insomnia that it's disruptive. My boyfriend has it too so we are both tolerant of it. (Or at least for now we are) I had no idea how great it would be to sleep with my man AND my own pillows. I love those pillows, almost as much as my boyfriend. Now that I've moved in, my boyfriend will be going out of town tomorrow for a long weekend. He said that I could enjoy the apartment by myself. I said that I'll probably miss him badly because everywhere I look, there are reminders of him. But it'll be good to putter around the space and get to know it better.
thatone Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 pff, daily show people. colbert is so much better .
Mrlonelyone Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 It is good to hear this. I hope this only changes your rlship in positive ways.
Art_Critic Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Congrats Cee.. My best wishes go out to you both.. and make sure you grab your dresser drawer space now and put your things in or it will be hell getting it later
Feelin Frisky Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 .... Now that I've moved in, my boyfriend will be going out of town tomorrow for a long weekend. He said that I could enjoy the apartment by myself. I said that I'll probably miss him badly because everywhere I look, there are reminders of him. But it'll be good to putter around the space and get to know it better. You have that covered too. You won't be alone. You and yourself with have the place to your selves.
Author Cee Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 I love the encouraging words. It is a brave new venture, mostly around planting my flag in his cluttered apartment. I moved my stuff in and it was hardly noticeable. I have been losing my things, so I am trying to have Cee territory among the sea of his stuff. Art, you nailed it. The first thing I did was claim the drawer space. He didn't complain when I took his stuff out of drawers and left them on the bed. Fortunately this 2BR is teeming with closets (5 of them), so it's cute that we have his and hers closets. Yes, Frisky, me with my multiple selves will be having a party this weekend, along with late night sexytime.
