Honestly it really comes down to people. The people have made for some of the best times of my life living in sharehouses. But conversely, laying on the couch and finding a condom wrapper you didnt use is NOT fun. Living with teenagers sucks.

I managed to mostly miss the sharehouse situations, other than a year in student residence. The idea of a living in a standard sharehouse fills me with horror. Iām moving in with Mum which will make it a bit different, especially as she is starting to need help so I will over time end up taking over all the work of cooking etc. Iāve spent many years perfecting my techniques for cooking for one, now I have to cook for two, plus take into account someone elseās preferences (and dental challenges). A sharp learning curve awaits - along with a major re-evaluation of my kitchen container collection! Hopefully she retains ability to do some cooking for as long as possible though - even if I have to partially pre-pepare meals in advance the idea of being able to go home after work to dinner underway at least occassionally definitely appeals.

I used to make a standard size family recipe and immediately freeze the extra in individual portions to microwave later. It was great even as a single person.
If you guys have a few meals that suit you both that could work.
(You donāt have to eat the same thing every day, you can add different meals as convenient if thereās room)
