My mom told me she was worried I may not be happy living with a man. I asked her if she was happy with her man (my dad) and she replied: That's why I am worried about you! Do you people think that living with a man is difficult?

I've had the same lover for nearly 15 years. We are very happy. You and he will have different attitudes and habits. Jonathan for example doesn't cook or clean (well he cooks occasionally -- and he has helped clean in limited ways, when I have asked him to directly, a few times a year -- but in general he doesn't). He is a horizontal filer and he likes it warmer than I do. I on the other hand like it colder than he, squeeze the toothpaste tube from the middle (I cured that by buying stand up tubes) and I get lost driving, which he hates.
We truly love each other however, so, we don't get annoyed by these types of things (and these types of things ruin many relationships), we don't feel sorry for ourselves over trivialities, we don't concentrate on the negative EVER, and we just keep loving. When push comes to shove I will usually yield the way in which I would prefer things to be so that domestic harmony can be preserved, but yet we live where I wanted to -- he gave me that because he knew it would make me happy.
And no, I don't resent any of it, and I spit in the face of those that think giving up part of what you want for domestic harmony and happiness is wrong. It think it is exactly right.
We simply don't fight.
Hope this helps.

Well here is the key: Marry a good man. If you find a good man who treats you with love, respect, kindness, and considers you his equal, then you'll have no problem living with a man. In fact, this advice goes for anyone living with anyone of any sex. But I think it is important to note that there are significant differences between two men being together and a man and woman. With straight relationships there is always a power imbalence that just doesn't exist in gay relationships. My advice is to stop worrying about it and actually TRY having a live in relationship with another man, and live and learn on the curve.

Im a bisexual male and its been my experience that its much easier to live with another man than a woman. Though it probably really depends on the 2 people living together.
I lived with a woman for a year and a half and it was weekly drama's that lasted about 5 days each... I have lived with the same man now for 3 years and we hardly ever even argue.

yes you can be happy with a man. I have been dating this guy for 2 years and it has been the happiest times of my life. We have lived together for 6 months now and it is still good. You just have to find the right person.

If you don't try, you'll never know. It can never be a waste of time trying it out. Even if all things go horribly wrong and you fall away from one another, you'll likely take some good memories and lots of life experience to learn from; for the next time.
As any number of others have already said, it's who you're with, how much you love them and what that love means you're prepared to do - both for each other and to maintain your relationship.

No more difficult than living with a woman. I think if your happy and want to be with that person u will try to make it work.

the basic thing to understand is regardless of what relationship a person is in that it requires patience, understanding and compromise.
if you use the example of living in dorms or appt during college years most of the time you have roommates of same gender and some work out some don't
it has to do with people's personalities
hope this helps

Definitely YES!!! Very happy indeed. It's just a matter (which of course is not that easy) of finding someone who has a lot in common with you so that you won't be fighting all time. Living together, no matter who with (family, roommate, etc.) in not an easy task. Good luck!

A custody order ought to correctly be changed at any time. The courtroom will assign custody depending on the "dazzling interests of the infant." That being reported, your cousin has for example that the infant is prospering consisting of her and on the exterior it looks that she is doting on her new boyfriend (no longer her husband yet) to the point of having a infant with him. the daddy can ask that he be granted familiar actual Custody and that the mummy have in straightforward words Partial Custody. the daddy ought to likely say that the mummy is irresponsible and could be unable to look after her new infant to boot as her different infant. to boot, the mummy will in straightforward words be getting help for the single infant of her former husband. the infant she now includes (with the boyfriend because the daddy) can should be supported by ability of its personal father.

I have lived with my partner for years, you will have your disagreements just like in a straight relationship. Do I think it is difficult, no. I used to have female roomates that was difficult.
