That's the main thing, WE compromise. Mine is GREAT, that man is a peach. He puts up with me, helps out 50/50 (if not more) on EVERYTHING. The yard, the animals, the DD, the dishes, the laundry, the cleaning, etc... I have it made, and I try to remember that when I go into psycho, rip his head off mode LOL. BUT let me say that the first year I had to constantly remind him that I was not his mother, and if he wanted her he could go right back next door and live with her again. It didn't take long for him to conform to house rules.
