It'd be great to get more guys on here - sometimes that straightforward approach many men have is super refreshing!

I asked him if he'd like to join 3FC and he declined. He said that it's my thing...He doesn't want to intrude. He really is a good guy. I'm not at all grumpy about it today! I'm excited that we're going to be doing it together.

What it really comes down to here is communication. This is a relatively new relationship and we've just started living together, so we're still learning about eachothers quirks.

Thanks for all your advice and commiseration!

Ah, the newly-living-together fights. When my husband and I were newly married, we used to have regular fights about the dishwasher: I was convinced he loaded it entirely wrong, he was convinced I loaded it entirely wrong. It was pretty heated for a while.

Then we realized that, hey, whoever is doing the dishes--just let that person decide how to load the dishwasher! And we haven't fought about it since.

You'll figure it out, and someday you'll probably be able to laugh at the silliness of adjusting to each other

The epilogue to our story is that we now load the dishwasher THE SAME WAY. But we have no idea who changed, or how.

Wouldn't it be nice to just do the whole eat less/exercise more thing like a man and leave out all the emotion and drama that ladies have to bring into it!
