    * Note: Anyone in college and living away from home has not left home ... I don't care if you lived in another country to do so, you haven't left home.

    You would be wrong then. I left home at 18 to go to university in another country, my father having died shortly before and my mother having moved to Greece to get over the trauma of having to nurse him for so long. There was no longer any "family home". And I wasn't alone in never really going back home once I started university - don't apply your own rules to everyone.

    I think failure to launch from the nest is a bit of an Irish phonemonon. Abigayle - what you say about my belief system is correct -and thats my prerogative. Anyway, this post is not about me.

    OP I think you are doing somehting i do, over analysing. ur relationship is going smooth, dont look for problems that arent there. if a lack of thank you is bothering you, make a few off the cuff remarks. this is v small in the general scheme of things, dont make it bigger than it needs to be. good luck!!

    The only thing I will say is that girls are generally better at knowing what temperature to wash a garment in and also what clothes to put together in the wash and which ones to wash seperately.

    No that's people who did physics in school

    Edit: Actually you may have a point. Seeing as female clothes are more likely to be delicate girls may have learned the hard way. Can't go too far wrong with mens clothes. Only delicate thing we wear is a suit and that gets brough to the dry cleaners

    Generally speaking, in my experience, IMHO, <insert phrase here that doesn't offend someone>, women tend to view instructions as a "How to" and follow them to the letter. Men tend to view instructions as "guidelines" and "Ah that's just the manufacturer being safe", as we throw our woolen jumper into a 90 degree wash with a 1200 rpm spin.

    We do only make major mistakes like that once though.
