- having my insecurities, immature and broken parts open to the scrutiny of that person.
- i'll face criticism on my hobbies, which they'll dislike. they'll ask me to give them up, but they'll keep theirs.
- i'll never have leftovers again. my partner will take all the food i slaved over and eat it in one go.
- my grocery bill will be higher than it already is. i'll have to make their food as well because that's the only way they'll eat vegetables (it's insane how many people state with pride that they don't eat vegetables and they don't read). but they'll have really expensive food tastes that i don't share (most of my cooking is provencial, so i don't consider myself to be a foodie. plus, isn't foodie just another way of saying you like food and taking pictures of your food? who hates food though? like, no one).
- my housework (laundry, cleaning and cooking) will double and my partner won't help me.
- my partner will want to keep separate accounts, but never a joint account (if i can't trust you with money, why would i trust you with my life?)
- shouldering the burden of my partner's financial and health problems (because they won't take care of this shit and expect me to do it out of love...take care of yourself!)
- social pressure to live out of my means emotionally (pressure to stay together even if it's not going well).
- the expectation of submission (and disliking me for pointing that out) yet paying half on finances (because that's feminism).
- they'll constantly compare me to other women, and be flagrantly unapologetic about it.
- we'll be out of sync sexually and unable to fix it.
