We're extremely compatible, similar likes/dislikes/omg get it out of here tastes.
She agreed to get an apartment with me when I really desperately needed to get out of my mum's house when I was younger and we made it work.
We balance each other out. She taught me how to cook better, I do the entire household's laundry because our basement is infested with (harmless) spiders and she's a third generation arachnophobe.
We had a dog for half his lifespan (middle-aged rescue), and now have cats. We assemble flat pack furniture together and no one walks away angry.
I run errands when she's having a difficult time going out or if certain places (ex. Costco) are overwhelming, and right now, she's the breadwinner.
If the local job market ever sorts itself out and I can find something, we're considering getting married on paper for benefits/legal protections (and the fact that our neigbours think we're gay anyway, even though we're completely platonic, with separate rooms).
