Cohabit
I live with a girl. She is not my girlfriend. With the exception of a two-month interlude a few years ago, this is the first roommate I’ve had in 4 years. After three months, the verdict currently stands thus—
Pros
- Having her call you out on, and thereby preventing, your messiness
- Somebody to make dinner with, thus leading to increasingly complex, rich and rewarding meals
- Late-night talks about personal ambitions, career goals, the vicissitudes of life, and the immigrant experience
- Relationship advice, inasmuch as we are capable of providing worthwhile counsel to each other, which may in fact not be very much at all, honestly
Cons
- Orange juice and ice cream stocks mysteriously decrease on their own
- Arguments about the necessity of her daily “Two and a Half Men” ritual
- Smelling of “Seductive Woman” perfume after using the bathroom in the morning – Correction: the perfume is actually called “Provocative Woman”, even better
