The bathtub drain clogged with hair on a regular basis
She saw my hair routine and told me it was all wrong. We went out and spent close to $100 In new shampoo, conditioner, curling leave in conditioner, a coconut rehydrator and a curling boost creme. My hair has never looked as nice as it does now before she moved in.
the aromas and fabrics
Candles
Signs with cursive writing everywhere.
Facial care routine
More home-cooked meals
edit: Oh, and wardrobe/style has improved drastically!
Cushions. Cushions everywhere!
I now have a bunch of signs written in glitter telling me to “Be Fierce” or to “Get it girl” which is nice. When I wake up I often forget to be fierce or to get it girl so the daily reminder is helpful.
She added a bidet.
Greatest thing ever. Completely changed my life.
Dust ruffle on the bed. Fancy soaps in the bathroom.
Floral Print Comforter – I am so grateful
I now find Bobby pins and hair ties everywhere.
I stopped using empty cardboard boxes as end tables, so that was a pretty definite improvement.
Weird pillows everywhere. Bed, check! Couch, check! Bench by window, check! Chairs, check! All outdoor furniture, check!

My GF moved in about 4 years ago and there isnβt a single wall thatβs the same color it was before she got here and thereβs maybe 5 pieces of furniture. My house was very modern blacks and grays lots of metal and very minimalist in decor.
She said it looked like a super villains house πππ
She helped me understand when clothes were beyond saving because of wear and tear or just hideous in general. Between her and maturing in general, I actually look pretty good, now. Lol
I piss sitting down. Man, the cleaning is so so much simpler
A continually expanding collection of stuffies on one section of my couch. Scented candles. A laundry hamper.
Hair. Hair everywhere.
Instead of buying exactly enough groceries to last until the next paycheck, we actually stocked up.
Empty space is immediately filled. We even put up shelves so she could fill empty wall space. Then of course the shelves were empty, so things had to be put on them.
She got me a real toothbrush holder instead of the red plastic cup I had been using for years
Our place smells amazing, and so completely organized, and everything matches. Itβs quite nice! She made it a home 100%
Added her 3 year old daughter if that counts.
A basket to put keys/knick knacks in when you walk in the door. She was right.
A lid on the trash can in the bathroom.
I was living and loving the bachelor’s life before the woman who would later become my wife moved in.
I didn’t realize how unorganized I was until she organized things for me, which led to me having less stuff to worry about, which led to me becoming calmer which improved my life and health by a lot.
She also started tastefully decorating things and suddenly my shitty little apartment became a home, which it never was before. Something you look forward to getting back to instead of something that’s dry and where your stuff stays till you move again.
Not exactly what you asked; but I can tell you as a home care assistant for elderly/disabled – many men in this situation struggle a lot. I’m happy to help where I can – we often deal with elderly men who are very lost after losing their wife/partner.
And yeah, it runs the gamut from “that was her work” to conversations about how much they miss her.
My husband loves that I got annoyed and tightened the hardware on the cabinets π€£
I got an Amazon package right before Christmas. I thought it was presents for one of my sons so I punched it open and was like βWTFβ. So I read the address and it belonged to my bachelor neighbor across the street. I wrote a note. βSorry, I thought it was a present for my kid, hope your grandma likes her sheets, let me know if you want help decorating your bachelor padβ. I left my number and I get a text a bit later, he was dying laughing, said thatβs my new duvet.
my boyfriend said βthe squishmallows everywhere.β
She makes a fuckin’ mess wherever she goes!
Still love her though.
My wife saw the Craft one too many times as a kid and now my house has been decorated for Halloween 24/7 for 20 years.
More tampons in the house now. Also so many fucking socks. Sooo many socks. Nobody needs this many socks. But never enough bras always need more bras for some reason. But I guess the bra fund goes towards more socks.
Iβm the gf but my bf thanks me for teaching him about skincare, hair care, and cast iron pans
She would bake cookies, decorate for each season or holiday. Opening blindsβ¦
Plants. Never was a plant person but now there’s over a hundred plants in our one bedroom apartment. I learned so much from her, different plant names, watering, and re-potting
My first live together girlfriend introduced me to cooking, and listening to music while doing prep.
I already liked to cook, but this really pushed me to another level, and introduced me to Etta James, who is still my favourite singer.
Thanks T.
Got me much more interested in interior design like color coordination, lighting, and gallery walls. She taught me you can do a lot to make a space feel better for not too much money. We split up earlier this year, but those things definitely left an impression on me. I’m hell bent on making sure my new place doesn’t feel like a complete bachelor pad.
Side note, I’m all about giving much more color to my space. I’m tired of the gray and black household items marketed at guys for dudes to seem “sophisticated.” I got aqua sheets and pillow cases along with a burnt orange duvet for my bed for starters, and I love it. I want pretty colors and interesting textures, dammit. Whatever makes my space feel good.
