Reddit user SeasonBeneficial5871 asked: "What's the weirdest thing you've discovered about your partner only after moving in together?"

You never really know someone until you live with them.

Which is something couples discover when they decide to cohabitate.


Whether it's being more relaxed because of the increased familiarity or all the odd habits being visible for the first time because of 24/7 exposure, most couples experience a few surprises once they move in together.

Some are odd. Some are slightly alarming.

"Tortellini."

Wake Up Call

"He sets tons of alarms, but none actually wake him up."

~ brooklynskyeee

"My ex used to do that, it was infuriating. He set up something like 6 alarms starting at 6 am to go to work at 9 or 10 am."

"It would always wake me up, and I'd have to turn them off before they drove me insane. Of course, I could never fall back asleep."

~ _jimblo_

Porcelain Throne

"He gets a weird feeling in his tummy and then goes to sit on the toilet for an hour until he eventually has a bowel movement."

"I, apparently, wait until I get the cue to go to the bathroom before actually attempting. As I thought was normal."

"He quite literally made fun of me yesterday for kicking him off the toilet. 'You made me get up to only take 30 seconds?'."

"Dude, you've been in there for 45 minutes, and clearly nothing was happening, so you could just let me in like that because I actually have things to do."

Midnight Gibberish

"I always thought that when movies or TV shows feature someone talking in their sleep, and they just spout random, silly nonsense, that it was mostly for comedic effect and wasn’t really a reflection of real life."

"Nope. My partner talks in his sleep and it’s always just absolute random, silly nonsense."

"The most recent one was, in a tone of dismay, 'There’s ice cream all over the stairs…' followed by a drawn out 'broooooooo'."

"He also just periodically giggles in his sleep, which, frankly, is one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen from another human."

~ T3nacityDog

~ Rag1ngRedHead

Theater Salad

"We were fixing to watch a movie and he wanted popcorn. He said 'too bad we don’t have any lettuce'."

"I asked if he wanted a salad, he said 'No, I want popcorn and lettuce'. He said he never said anything at the movie theater because he always knows they never have lettuce."

"The man eats bites of lettuce and popcorn together. His whole family does."

~ IllTechnician5828

Cutlery Chaos

24-year-old YouTuber Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov was arrested after making contact with one of the world's last uncontacted tribes, making the perilous and ill-advised journey to North Sentinel Island and leaving a coconut and a can of Diet Coke on the beach as a gift to the Sentinelese.
