Sometimes, I am glad I'm with her and sometimes, I wish she would leave me the hell alone. She would get pissed if I didn't call her at a certain time, or if I tell her I'm doing something with someone, she'll lask a million questions. At times, I feel I'm walking on eggshells around her. Basically, I have to watch what I say to avoid an argument. I sure hope women aren't like that in general.

I do care for her and wouldn't mind just living with her. I know there are common law marriage laws out there which would classify a long term living situation as being married.
