I have never really lived with a room mate ever. Only people I have lived with are women that I live with, and my children. And living with a woman isn't the same as having a room mate at all to me. I want her there, and i get to do things to her that I rather enjoy. And my kids are my kids. They don't annoy me at all like having him does. They have their own space and they aren't taking over my space constantly.
Roommates are very different than girlfriends/wives. Especially if you own the place, or are the only person on the lease.
A roommate you can tell what to do and kick 'em out if they don't.
A significant-other is more diplomatic - though I suppose you can still kick them out if you're the only one on the lease and unmarried or whatnot.
Either way, they're entirely separate things. I've had both. It's possible to have solid roommates. I've had that often. It just takes a firm set of rules and someone willing to obey those rules.
In one way, it'd probably be pretty cool to have Verle there to help pay the bills and to keep an eye on the place when you're not home. On the other hand, he's got to uphold a certain standard of living in order for it to be copacetic.
Yes, yes I did just use the word copacetic. Yes, yes I did.
copacetic.
LoL
I don't know if I want that. I dont think I do
I really would rather have a woman here
LOL Well, then you're gonna have to kick 'em out at some point.
