    that you never truly know a person until you've lived with them?

    when you live with someone you see the good, the bad, the ugly. the laughs, the burnt dinners, messy rooms, skidmarks on the toilet seat, manky plates stacked up in the sink...you see all their habits. but then they go out into the world and be this completely different person to who they are at home. from your own experience, is this phrase true??

    is that you mrs. trax? :eek:

    i said i'd try harder!

    Well yes, you do get to know somebody far better if you live with them. This is pretty straightforward logic OP, I hope this isn't some massive epiphany to you.

    Yep. It doesn't matter how stunning your partner is, how much you've got in common, once you walk into that bathroom straight after she's had a sh1t following a weekend of boozing, all love goes out the window.

    It's like a scene outta backdraft.

    thankfully myself and mrs. trax havent crossed that particular threshold.. but i've noticed an increase in the volume of farts lately, usually followed by a giggle. i must be vigilant!

    From playing The Sims, yes I defintely found this to be the case.

    The Pleasant family, sure they seem friendly but once you become a captivated audience to their living habits and whiny needs and often empty lives, you soon uncover the facade that all is not pleasant at all and next thing you know, you've resorted to putting them into a room with a fireplace, removing any exits and carefully placing multiple wooden chairs in the room and sitting back to mercilessy watch their demise.

    They seemed so nice, yeah sure, until you see them from behind closed doors.

    I have a rule, if I have to poo when he's home, he's not allowed in the bathroom for an hour after :o

    Some people are just ignorant fcuks,,
    You also could be with someone for a couple of years and still they wouldn't do most of those examples in front of you!! Depends on the person....

    It's just that I would die if he went in there, I don't do mad stinky poos or anything. Just can't risk it.

    He's never heard me fart either. And hopefully never will.

    if you've ever fallen asleep before him, or he has ever woken up before you, i guarantee that he has both heard AND felt you fart :)

    I've asked him and he said no! But he's very rarely awake when I'm asleep. I rarely fart anyway. I burp like a monster though.

    You will never fully, 100%, know another human being. Even family members, girlfriends/boyfriends, and best mates.

    are you embarrassed? I understand....im mad prudish when it comes to the aul number 2s. I will drown the bathroom with febreeze, deodorant and the occasional perfume after ive been just so nobody knows or smells a thing. nothing worse than the walk of shame afterwards, even in my own house id be mortified and paranoid if someone smelled the jacks after ive been in there. cant understand people who willingly stink the place out and are so open and proud about having a sh1t, like its something they're proud of. my da's like that :0

    I know its natural and all that jazz but id rather not know what someone's **** smells like, stay classy.

    My mam had an expression; street angel, house devil. Always thought it summed up some people very well. People who create the biggest problems at home can be very charming around other people.

    Does it embarrass you? Do you know feel comfortable enough to fart in from of your OH.

    Like Shrek always says, better out than in :)

    Not necessarily, some people are gas machines, some aren't. Some have constantly rumbling guts, some don't.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,086 ✭✭✭TheBeardedLady


    I live in extremely close quarters with himself and we have no separate rooms with proper doors (just those shuttery doors on the bathroom and bedroom). We always walk in on each other in the bathroom and I don't think either of us particularly care, probably because we both come from large-ish families and neither of us ever had much privacy. I'm looking forward to moving into a normal flat with separate rooms as I think we're a little too up close and personal for the relationship, tbh.

    If you're spraying the bathroom with things, other people may not smell it, but you're wrong thinking they don't know. They do. Nothing more obvious than a load of perfume or spray stinking out the bathroom, to say you've had a crap.

    I don't care what my OH sees or smells. Luckily, my farts don't smell (no really, they don't). They're mad loud though. He rates them, and my burps, out of ten :o

    We'll regularly shout at each other over the smell in the bathroom, barely concealed by spray, after a night on the drink :pac:

    Yes absolutely true!

    If you are considering a forthcoming engagement or wedding...........?

    Do a runner, it does not get better with time:(

    IMHO of course:)

    Thankfully there are separation and divorce facilities in Ireland.

    In the past a couple were more concerned about the feelings and thoughts of the neighbours

    Or leave a choker in the toilet :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭donegaLroad


    likewise, you never really know a person until you have worked with them, or played music with them (musicians will understand that one).

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    Well there's a seanfhocal that goes "Ní heolas go haontíos"- "There is no knowledge without cohabitation" literally.

    I do think it's true. But as already said, I don't think anyone ever really knows anyone else, no matter how long they're together.

    Ah no, I only think that'd be the case if the person themselves didn't really know their own self.
    I don't think I do anyway.
    I'm a different person around different people..but I'm not fake..if you get me.!

    You never truly know anyone in my opinion.

    But living with someone for aprox 2 to 4 years will let you get to know them very very well.
