Building a life you can share with your partner is one of the most incredible things about a relationship. Between building a home and sharing intimate experiences, we do many significant things with the person we call our boyfriend.
With this comes a list of things that we share, both physically and emotionally, with our person. Some of them we absolutely adore, while others drive us crazy. This list explores some of the best and worst things to share with your boyfriend.
Love to Share: Our Dresser Drawers
One of the first signs of a new relationship evolving into something deeper is when you make room in your dresser for your partner to leave things at your place. Something is exciting about knowing that you’ve gotten out of the honeymoon phase and you’re moving into more familiar territory. Knowing his underwear is stored at your place is enough to simultaneously make your heart and hole happy!
Hate to Share: Our Bathroom
A bathroom is a sacred place. One where we’ve arranged our “get-pretty” items in the correct order and placement. Someone barging in and making themselves at home in our beauty domain isn’t ideal. Especially when your boyfriend likes to leave messes or make things stink.
Love to Share: Our Bed
We love to snuggle and cuddle our favorite guy on lazy weekend mornings. We crave the various exciting sexual activities we engage in with our boyfriends here. Waking up next to the guy we’re falling for is an experience unlike anything else. These are just a few reasons why sharing a bed with someone you’re dating is incredible.
Hate to Share: Also Our Bed
While sexual or intimate encounters in bed are our favorite, sleeping with our boyfriend can be challenging. One perk of being single is sleeping on whichever side of the bed or in the middle if you prefer! This isn’t the case with your boyfriend present. Along with that, what if he hogs the covers or, worse: the entire bed itself? Boner killer.
Love to Share: Desserts
Date night is always a treat with the sexy guy known as your boyfriend. Especially when he takes you out to a charming restaurant. The literal cherry on top is splitting a dessert with your guy.
While we’d love to indulge in the entire cheesecake or brownie, some things are sweeter when shared with the guy of your dreams. Oh, and if he smears a bit of chocolate on his lip? No matter… kiss it off for him!
Hate to Share: Our Body Count
Especially when you really like this guy, it can sometimes be embarrassing and particularly vulnerable when you share the number of people you’ve slept with. Look, we’re gay men…we love sex. We’ve had our share of bed partners; odds are, they have too!
Sharing this information is a critical step towards mutual trust and understanding, so despite the potential awkwardness…share it!
Love (and sometimes HATE) to Share: Everyday Life
We know that life gets complicated. People change and evolve over time. Relationships that once were easy can get messy and complex. Communication is challenging, and disagreements are inevitable.
Despite this, sharing a deep, authentic, and passionate connection with another guy is unlike anything else on this planet. While it can be impossible in the best times, sharing a healthy and happy relationship with someone you care for is one of the best parts of life.
