This sort of thing is why a non-negotiable condition of any living arrangements I have is my own room, with living together being a duress thing for negotiations purposes. It's my space that I can escape to and deck out how I want - including shelves of Transformers - and guarantees I don't end up sleeping on the couch after late/drunken nights out, or when any Grasshopperettes are down with the flu or somesuch.
Exactamundo! Most blokes need their man-cave. Apparently it is part of male psychology. Some blokes have a room full of sports memorabilia, other guys have a pool room, some people have their garage, some guys retreat to the garden (yardwork) - for me it's my TF room.

Also, $5000? WTF? Maybe $5000 for the Fortress Maximii, but really...$5000?[/QUOTE]

Surely you'd know what you like and dislike about your partner (and what you can tolerate and what you can't) before committing to cohabitation and starting a family.

Yeah, that typically happens during the 'honeymoon' phase of a relationship and you're trying really hard to impress your partner. But you'd think that the pretense would be dropped by time you get to the stage of making a long-term committment to each other.

Cos that'd make sense!!
