Well, I've only ever lived with my Mother...except for a short period of time where my ex lived with us. I can handle liviith my Mother even though we're both control freaks to a certain extent. She more than I. But we're fairly similiar in how we live and the way we like things, we've had our fights about the way things should be. But we're able to handle living with eachother, plus the added bonus of having done so for the past 20 years. haha
That short amount of time my ex was with us(we were together at the time.), I wanted to slap him upside the head damn near every second of the day.
My Mother and I live in organized chaos and it was really hard when someone was here messing up the vibe. It actually has me afraid of ever living with someone else because I don't want to relinquish any type of control and I don't want to compromise further than what I already do.
My Mother(who is autistic, in case that wasn't obvious.) is a control freak...as is her boyfriend(about his enviroment..) she's already tried telling him that she doesn't think she'll ever live with him, because she knows neither of them can change.
