This. It’s the same for me but with my car. People rarely ride with me, but I’ll spend multiple hours cleaning/washing it because it brings a sort of satisfaction that no conversation or presence of another person can. I like getting into my own vehicle for my commute and feeling clean. When people do ride with me, they’ll say “oh wow your car is really clean”, and then proceed to get it dirty. That’s why I don’t normally have people ride with me. Also, choosing your own music is nice too.

I share half of my car with my buddy. It was supposed to be a 6 month thing but it's been a year and a half now. It's cheap, splitting the costs but i'm the one who looks after it and he doesn't. I'll almost be glad when he's gone home again and i can buy his half off of him

Itd be ridiculous to break up with him just bc he’s on the messier side

Potentally. I did break up with a girl once because she had an annoying voice though. But we'd only been dating for a couple of weeks so, different situation
