Recently, we stumbled over a Reddit thread where men are sharing the things they’ve learned after living with women — and some of their responses are truly heartwarming. We have compiled some of the best responses. Scroll to read more.
It all started when Reddit user u/artudetan posed a question to the popular community, AskMen: “What did you not know or realize until after living with a woman?”
1. “It is home with her, it is just an apartment without her. It is fun as hell. My gf is my best friend and every day coming home from work and going to get food, or making food, or cuddling on the couch watching shows, or whatever we do.. I love it.” – hoopdog7
2. “That they are just as insecure as we are.” – Massey89
3. “Fancy makeup takes a long time.” – thatnovaguy
4. “That moisturizer goes on the body too.” – thought-criminal-_
5. “The color of their shoes will match their earrings and their purse, and if you look carefully, will pick up the highlights of the design of their top. And that’s not an accident. I never realised this was a manner of dressing until I saw it being assembled first hand, and then the next day at work it was like I paid attention to what my female colleagues were wearing and I’m like HOLY CRAP THEY ALL DO THIS.” – LordSn00ty
6. “You’ve been doing laundry wrong your whole life.”– colojason
7. “I learned that bathroom can smell like soap and flowers and coconut instead of like pee.” – noclue_whatsoever
8. “When you’re having a really tough day, she unexpectedly comes home and surprises you with a bottle of your favorite drink, homemade cookies and a dinner you love. And then she cuddles with you while you vent about your now not so crappy day. And you realize what it’s like to actually have someone support you…. Because your house/apartment is no longer a place you live at, it’s now your home. And it’s safe to be the real you, not the show you put on when you were dating.” – AndrogynousRain
9. “Apparently, cleaning the toilet on the regular is much, much more important than I’d previously thought.” – onelittleworld
10. “I didn’t realize living with someone could be so fun and comfortable.” – Cooscous
11. “I’m happily married and have an amazing daughter. My cargo shorts pockets are no longer mine. Wife gets the right side, and my daughter gets the left side. My stuff goes in the back pockets.” – MiloFrank
12. “They can’t remember if they have turned the hair straightener off, But can remember what you said 4 years ago” – king_kouta
13. “Pockets are very rare for women’s pants. Several years married and still shocked by this.” – Timothy5509
14. “I always thought that pads operated like bandaids and they’d just slap em over their vaginas and absorb everything. It wasn’t until I was… 27? When my girlfriend at the time had some as a backup in case she ran out of tampons and I opened it and looked. The adhesive was on the wrong side for my version of how they worked, and it dawned on me that they’re supposed to be stuck to their panties, not their vaginas. I only regret telling her of that revelation, because she laughed until she cried and then called her mom to tell her about it.” – myepenisisbigger
15. “I learned to rip a cupcake in half, flip the top of the cupcake with the frosting so you have a frosting sandwich.” – Indian_Tacoo
16. “I never realized how much I could love someone until my wife and I got together. Living with her has been a large part of learning to give.” – thebestatheist
17. “Just how expensive and shoddy brands for women are.” – BlackSunBeast
18. “How nice it is to come home to someone; The warmth in the bed is quite comforting; Turns out RuPaul’s drag race is a great show; Curling up on the sofa under a blanket is great, and will most likely lead to napping; Having someone who gets excited for you is great. It’s like having a live in cheerleader; It’s always acceptable to watch a Disney movie, no mater how old you are.” – Sudden_Ad_1674
19. “No matter how many bobypins are in the house, there is always a need for more” – Sensitive-Cherry-398
20. “When you’re done showering, you’re supposed to stay on the bath mat while you dry off, not walk around the apartment” – MeesterMeeseeks
21. “Period shits.” – thetinystrawman
