Any downfalls of one woman living with three men?

Please invite me over for dinner and drinks. This would be fun.

It depends on the individuals and how they get along. I can’t think of anything inherently wrong about this one that isn’t also wrong with unrelated housemates. Maybe lack of privacy. I hope the woman doesn’t have to clean house and wash dishes all the time like she’s Mom, too.

As long as the rooms have doors that can be closed and locked, and the woman considers lowering the toilet seat an acceptable aerobic exercise, and everyone understands the ground rules, it seems fine.

Doesn’t seem like a bad idea… unless the other two men are total slobs, then that wouldn’t be such a great idea.

Men have poor aim sometimes. The toilet bowl is a pretty large target, perhaps their moms had them practice aim by peeing at Cheeri-O’s, but in reality all men miss the pot occassionally, and the area around the toilet starts to get ripe.

THE TOILET SEAT WILL NEVER BE DOWN!

Jealousity? It’s only natural in human begins to feel such ways about one another, over a period of time your partner would accuse you for liking the other individual. Little things build up and assumptions are made.

I once shared a house with three women. It was the best time of my life! Other than that, I’m saying nothing. You can buy the novel if you need details, LOL.

I think it should be fine. Especially since you’re dating one and the other two are related to him. They’ll be more likely to respect boundaries because of the relation.

Does she get along with all three men? Has she been involved with either of the others? If there aren’t any obvious problems such as these, it should be fine. If she doesn’t like living with men, well, that’s a whole other kettle of fish.

I lived with two women once….my girlfriend and her best friend. Only problem there was her bf had developed an unhealthy co-dependency with my girlfriend, and she was trying to break out and start her own life. So there were some jealousy issues…but this friend was very emotionally stunted…I think it was way harder on her than on either of us. Bottom line, depends on the people…I think any time you live with any other people, even just one person, if your personalities don’t mesh, it can be problematic. But hey, life is short, do what works for you now, and if it stops working for you, do something else.

Pro: Low drama.
Con: Grossness.

If an unmarried but involved couple are sharing quarters and a lease it always gets messy if the relationship ends. With a married couple there is a legal procedure. But it is worse if there are other housemates involved. Three bedrooms for a couple and two singles. If relationship breaks up, everyone’s financial commitment goes up. The woman can easily become the “mom”. Even though the guys are related, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a switch in affections. What about if the singles have overnights with their girlfriends who are then in YOUR kitchen and bathroom, using YOUR stuff and eating YOUR food (and as guests maybe not cleaning up after themselves).

It is very difficult for 4 adults to live together without the extra baggage of personal/intimate relationships and a lease.

She will not have anyone to have her menstrual period at the same time as. It will be disorienting. She will feel unmoored, puzzled, and afraid. Don’t do it, lady!! You have other options!!

Seriously, living with men is smelly.

The lady in question will generally be saddled with the cleaning, replacing necessities, and general straightening up- all the things that male roomies conveniently “forget.”

As long as you’re aware of what you’re getting into…

What would Mr. Roper think?
