Did you find out anything about your partner when you moved in together?

Some of you did! Here are some of the responses from our Attention All Lovers survey:

Dirty habits. Untidy. Novelty soon wore off. 

Both being widowed we experienced love again and grew on our previous experiences which has made us both better people.

It was great to know that they would be there each evening as, when living apart, you always have to arrange to meet up.  Moving in together after we got married meant that there was still something to look forward to after the honeymoon. The biggest difference was being able to do independent things in the evening after work and then still see each other later that night. Moving into a new place meant that neither one of us was having to cram into the other's space and we could start afresh.

Yes, I discovered that he was as daft about dogs as I was, even though I came with a snarling, pregnant cat who scratched the living daylights out of his dogs and ate his goldfish for breakfast.  Also had three teenaged children and lots of personal baggage, yet he still loved me.

He was and still is a fairly tidy person, although he does leave his socks on the bedroom floor and expects ME to put them in the washing basket!!

Too overpowering, can be a control freak. Does not allow me to get a word in Edge ways at the best of times. I have set times to eat and if I miss these time slots, I am basically left to starve.

Hello, of course I came to visit your site and thanks for letting me know about it.
I just read this post and wanted to say it is full of number one resources. Some I am familiar with. For those who don’t know these other sites they are in for a treat as there is a lot to learn there.
