The inside of your purse is basically a CVS.

14 Things Only Women Who Don't Live With Their Boyfriends Will Understand

1. You are forced to carry an insanely large purse. Gone are the days of going out with clutches, because now you basically need an oversize weekender everywhere you go to carry all your makeup, a hair brush, a change of clothes for the next day, and potentially even a new pair of shoes if the current ones don't match your outfit tomorrow. 'Sup, scoliosis? 

2. "Your place or mine?" is never a spontaneous decision. Excuse you, sir. If we did not plan sleeping arrangements in advance and I don't have all my aforementioned crap already packed, you're going home with me, or alone.

3. Only one of you gets to keep the leftovers. So you ordered Indian food and there is still half a pint of chicken tikka masala left? To the primary resident goes the spoils.

4. You have now become totally unfazed by underwear overflowing from your bag pretty much all the time. If you don't want to see my brightly colored array of Hanky Panky thongs every time I reach into my purse to grab my wallet, look away.

5. Not being able to have sex any time you want. Distance might make the heart grow fonder, but it definitely doesn't make you any less horny on a random Tuesday night when you're apart.

6. Not having your own things in the shower. You've learned to make do with his Head and Shoulders, but you'd probably sell an organ for a reparative, moisturizing hair mask.

7. Getting a drawer in his room feels like a major milestone. THIS IS IT, THIS IS WHAT TRUE LOVE FEELS LIKE. Carrie Bradshaw, you were not over-exaggerating the significance of that toothbrush head.

8. Then realizing, "Shit, I probably need two drawers." What? I have a lot of *~things~*.

9. Exchanging house keys becomes A Whole Big Deal. And you are stuck there explaining, no, this gesture does not mean I want to marry you. I just want to be able to go out, grab coffee, and let myself back in when you are still passed out in bed on Saturday morning.

10. One of you is always sacrificing something. You might want to wake up early and go for a run together before brunch, but if you don't have gym clothes and sneakers too, you're stuck at home while he has to either soldier on without you or stay when he'd rather work out.

11. Wondering if his roommate will care that you're slowly moving into their bathroom. It starts with a comb, then escalates to moisturizer, then suddenly you've got a razor, contact solution, and your round blow dry brush and oh, damn, I guess I live here now.

12. Commuting. All the commuting. You want to grab some dinner over by your place? Sure, let me just hop on one bus, and 10 blocks it takes me to get there! See you never!

13. Realizing *gasp* you might actually have to compromise. What do you mean, I can't just leave my loose powder and mascara on top of your dresser? 

14. Tolerating him when he forgets that he needs to compromise too. After losing your shit about him forgetting to put the cap back on your toothpaste, you've made peace with his messy ways. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
