Have an aunt who has only ever lived with women. I was always told it was her roommate. Everyone refers to her as a roommate. They BOUGHT THE HOUSE TOGETHER. Have dogs together. Raise the other ones kids together.
When I was like 17, and openly gay, I straight up asked my grandmother if her sister was a lesbian. She said no they're just roommates and got super specific about it. I asked my aunt a couple weeks later when I saw her and she went "Well, yeah. Do I not wear enough flannel?"
Rent is really expensive in Cali. ๐คฃ
might as well share a bed with your best friend to save on rent
Oh, I do that. My best friend just happens to be my wife. It's the three short free loaders that really make things expensive!
so you got married just for financial reasons right?
It certainly doesn't hurt!
I met my wife in college and we were both jobless (and poor) college students. I got married because I wanted to share my life with her, but sharing an apartment and bed was a financially beneficial arrangement!
We've done well on the financial situation however, so no complaining there. We both graduated with engineering degrees, so that's a pretty good start.
