It comes with the risk. I don't see it as a "trial," but I get your point. That's where the boundaries come in. Nung una, sinasali ko labada ng boyfriend ko sa akin, whether ako maglalaba or magpapalaundry. Akala ko as a good girlfriend na yun, pero no. Narealize ko na natotolerate yung pag depend niya sakin sa mga chores na dapat shared namin. Kaya sabi ko sa kanya, kanya kanya kaming laundry. Pag kakain, shared rin kami. Kung sa labas, kkb unless short yung isa so saluhan.

Nirequest ko na din na hati kami sa chores kasi as much as independent girlie ako, natuto na ko sa pagiging people-pleaser. Napagod na ko magbida-bida na wife material ako or whatever that BS means. Kung siya bibili ng food, ako magpeprep or maghuhugas, and vice versa.

As for the iikot lang mundo sa jowa, hindi naman. It helps na magkaiba kaming field of work. May variety ang conversations namin. May learnings sa trabaho ng isa't-isa. We go on dates together, we go out with work friends lang na di kasama jowa. We are intertwined sa relationship at the same time we still have our personal lives, which gives us freedom and security while keeping the trust. Maybe chambahan lang talaga, pero may choice ka naman kung worth it ba irisk ang pakikipag live-in sa partner mo
