@Totalanimefan: Yeah there are definitely perks to both ways of living! The funny thing is that I miss all the activities and excitement of living near the city, but I'm such a hermit anyway and really... don't ever do anything. xD That and crowds can get overwhelming after a while.
And the birds are so loud around here that they don't even sound real! So pleasant though. <3
Living in DC seems like it'd be really cool with all those museums and monuments to visit, not to mention the food; but all the people and tourist traffic probably gets old real fast. We kind of get it with the snow birds and that's bad enough, but at least that's seasonal. xD

@Totalanimefan: That sounds so nice honestly. I know the grass is always greener, and you probably have your fair share of struggles and annoyances in getting around, but do I miss living in a more developed area.
As a kid, we lived in the suburbs of Chicago where there was always so much stuff going on and so many places nearby to hang out, get snacks, etc; then we moved here to AZ where everything is so spread out, everything is beige, and things like Chinatown are only in movies. c':
But living out here definitely has its perks. All the animals are cute and we have a good amount of foliage, even if most of it is weeds (lol). We're mostly in an area where everyone pretty much knows everyone and has each-other's backs, but minds their own business, which is nice.
Dirt roads and dust though...not nice. :c

The fact that your fiance was eventually able to be honest with you, and the fact that you allowed yourself to cool down before making any large decisions, speaks volumes about your maturity and the strength of your relationship.
I do think you've hit the nail on the head in terms of his feelings and motivation for being untruthful; shame about unemployment and lying, perhaps hopelessness, and the coping mechanisms for that brief moment of not feeling like shit--or at least not caring. And it just keeps snowballing.
Having been in a similar spot, I feel for him; but you were very up-front about your ground rules, and have every right to be upset about the dishonesty. So many people fail to realise, or realise too late, that a life partner is called a partner for a reason! They're there to help shoulder burdens and assuage woes; to be vulnerable with. I wish our SOs/soon-to-be SOs would realise that we're meant to be their coping mechanism. Their safe place. Their shoulder to cry on. (Contrived generalisation here but you get me.)
This kind of wake-up call is often what it takes for reality to really hit someone.
It's a good sign that he's already taken steps towards better habits; I obviously don't know him like you do, but I do believe his remorse is genuine, and think it was wise not to kick him out right away. If he continues to make a conscious effort, then imho you can at least rest assured in that he values you and his relationship with you more than anything else. <3
There's my two cents, for what they're worth and nothing more. You've got a good head on your shoulders and seem to have good focus as well--don't lose that! Best wishes for the both of you. I sincerely hope things work out and loose ends come together for you both.

@Totalanimefan: I'm in MST, so it's about 9:30-ish right now! I like to get up fairly early so I can get a head start on the day and make lunch for my boyfriend on days he works. It feels really nice to look at the clock around this time and already have things done; I've found that if I sleep in, I tend to get lazy and then all I want to do all day is sit around, which then makes me grumpy in the evening. c':
Which is not to say that I think others are lazy for sleeping in and easing into the day! Tbh I wish I could sleep past 8 without being sick or hungover LOL
You and your hubby have some good teamwork! As long as it gets done, that's the important thing, right? And breaking things down into smaller, more manageable bits is the key to progress.
It's really neat that you're able to walk to a local cafe for breakfast! Q-Q I'd love to live somewhere like that but we're in a pretty rural area. (My neighbours have horses and cows!) The closest thing to a cafe around here is the gas station 15 minutes away, or the Starbuck's a few minutes farther from that lol.

@Totalanimefan: Thankfully my boyfriend will usually put away the clothes after I fold them, but folding is pretty much off the table for him. xD I wouldn't mind putting his clothes away if he didn't seem hell-bent on destroying his dresser every time he gets ready... oTL
@koneko: Precisely! Plus towels are so big and bulky that four of them can make up an entire load. Which is annoying when it looks like you have so much more laundry than you really do. >:C
I did finally tackle the massive clean laundry pile, washed all of our clothes save for whites, and dusted the
living room; gotta make some breakfast now though~

@koneko: And then it gets to the point where you're like "no, seriously, PLEASE let us help you, we have no dishes left" lol
I started some laundry and am working myself up to folding the big pile that's been floating between the dryer and the chair for a week. |D Everything else will feel like a cakewalk once I get that monster out of the way c':

@Aisukohi: Yo I feel that though... I'm always on everyone about drinking water, and will flip out if the dogs have less than 1/4 a bucket of water, but am constantly pumping myself full of diuretics. |D And I'm in the desert. xD
Have you adopted any succulents? I too tend to...neglect the plants I get to the point of death (RIP :c) but I've had the same succulent for about a year now and it's still going strong! They don't need much water and are honestly pretty hard to kill. I think this one has been on the brink a couple times but always comes back with vigor!

@koneko: Right?? It's so much faster, easier, and more fun with and extra set of hands! And you never know which one of your friends might have a great eye for interior design lol. Plus for some reason it feels like less of a chore when you're helping someone else, but I have that weird mom-friend trait too so idk. xD
@Pospeb: Oooof working out in the heat is something I just cannot do. Huge respect for folks who can do it, and do it by choice to less! Well done! You definitely deserve to kick back and enjoy the fruits of that labour!
@Totalanimefan: Yasss! I need to do some laundry tomorrow too; work uniform and sheets. And do all the dusting in one swoop... OH god and that big pile in the dryer that needs folding--
why do I do this to myself lol

@Kairu: I sent him a message so we shall see! Either way I'm planning on sharing some code snippets for everyone to use in profiles, as well as some fixes for the layouts and themes I did in the past, with no strings attached. c:
@Totalanimefan: It do be like that. Thankfully I kept up pretty well before I went on self-imposed exile lol and don't have too much catching up to do, aside from some event items just for collections' sake.

@blue: Oh so relatable. I have clothing that's never been worn, or that's from high school, that I've been trying to get rid of. And the number of times I've promised to do just that is laughable; but like your situation, a lot of it is formal/business casual or for special occasions and I think "well, what if?" and hold on to it. :[
Imho room-by-room can be best in most situations. Making rounds can be exhausting and take a lot of time; and there are tools one can use to keep from becoming too hyper-focused on one thing. Plus, even if you decide that's enough or run out of time, you have somewhere tidy to retreat to. xD
@Totalanimefan: I got most of the vacuuming done; just have one area rug to do, but my Golden is back to sleep (different spot, same rug) so I guess that's good enough for me today lol. Might get done later but I have to work in a few hours so probably not. xD
@koneko: Ayyy thank you! I was tempted to give up about halfway but then talked myself out of it. I do think I'll leave the dusting for tomorrow though lol
We can have a cleaning party! Put on some tunes, order some pizza, and jam out until 3AM! |D

@The Monster: All set!
I'm not one to talk--I drink too much caffeine and rarely sleep 7 solid hours a night--but definitely try resting if your body asks for it!
