Yeah but a lot of couples come up with the rules together. Not one person expecting the other to follow their rules. But we also don't know what the rules were so they could be pretty reasonable for all we know.

#37 as long as the list is for the good of both.. then who cares about who made it

It's a great start to a controlling relationship. It implies that OP's opinions and desires don't matter about how she lives in her own home.

Is it bad I immediately think of Sheldon? :P

I clicked here (display answers) with the hope I could scroll more than 1/16 of an inch without seeing an unoriginal Sheldon Cooper post. I was clearly wrong.. I don't know what's worse. The lack of originality, or the fact people blatantly don't care 40 other people posted the exact same response.. Yeesh

No it is not because I was thinking the exact same thing! :D

She moved into HIS house so I'd expect her to follow HIS rules. That's how my girlfriend and I did it. If you aren't paying rent you're not gonna sit on your ass all day and eat the contents of my fridge

Why? It could be simple rules that a decent human should follow 72. Don't always think of the worst in people.

@98 she never said she wasn't paying rent.

You may not know. He may be a total slob and may have these rules as a way so he can sit on his rear when he is home. Plus, as a couple, she may be paying other bills that are not rent. What is on the list is also important to consider. My ex used to have a rule about half the fridge taking up beer for his friends and him. It got to the point I could not even put groceries in the fridge, and he expected me to cook dinner without wasting anything. I left him because his rules were too much for the lifestyle he had.

You shouldn't say that most guys don't want a clean house

He sounds*

#2 learn to spell please, thank you! And overbearing? Maybe he doesn't expect anything less than what he deserves.

#9 grammer nazi fail,

9 Don't be one of those people. In the event you have a disorder, or you can't help but correct others grammar and syntax, then at least make sure yours is impeccable. Capitalize the beginning of sentences. Thank you.

#9 no need to be a dick about it, people make mistakes.

AND he already corrected himself.

#2 sounds ridiculous.

Rules are fine. An equal couple should probably establish rules between one another, you know, sit down and plan it out together. One can't just write a list and demand the other follows it.

They can if they pay 100% of the rent.

if being clean needs to be on the list, that tells us something about the OP. Unless we know what's on the list, it's a YDI in my book.

Even if they pay 100% of the rent, they should still come up with the list cooperatively; the other should just pick up the slack on other expenses. Paying rent doesn't mean that it's a good idea to treat your significant other like a preteen child instead of an equal.

Breakfast made at 640 sharp everyday isn't reasonable ? Right between sponge bath and morning sex. No wonder I live alone.

#19 where did it say anything about that.

Gotta be careful with the roommate agreement. Sheldon will greatly benefit if you sign it before reading.

Lol that was my first thought #12. Glad I'm not alone.

I thought of Sheldon, too!

That or he lends copies of his roommate agreement.

I was scrolling to see if anyone else had posted this before I posted it. Maybe he's a big bang fan???
