Relationships are tricky, aren’t they? You are either too happy in them or you’re too miserable. But, if the stars have worked in your favor and you’ve been in a relationship long enough to transcend the initial stages of wooing each other to become comfortable around each other, then this post is for you.
As a couple, there are several milestones that you reach and one such milestone is getting comfortable with each other. Once you’ve let your guard down, and shed your inhibitions, there is no going back. Here’s a list of illustrations that reveals what happens when you get too comfortable with your partner-
1. You Demand Attention Like It’s Your Birthright
Are you busy working? Are you lost in thoughts? Are you trying to solve an important sudoku puzzle? Doesn’t matter whatever you’re doing. If your SO needs attention, they just do. They are not going to dress themselves up in a sexy attire to entice you, neither are they going to play hard to get so that you chase them. They are just going to sit there and purr like a cat, asking for attention. Sometimes it could be as simple as, “Hey babe, I need attention, can you please look at me?” Now that you’ve been in a relationship for so long, it becomes a fundamental right to seek and give attention.
2. You Reveal Your Inner Food Monster
If you’ve spent enough time together going on dinner dates and have now found comfort in ordering take-outs at home while you Netflix and chill together, you know what we are talking about. It’s no more salads and bite-sized meals for the lady. Now, it’s all about munching on every edible thing possible and that too without sharing. Eating becomes the favorite pastime for the two of you and you both end up ordering food that could possibly feed a village (but you end up eating it all!).
3. You Give Each Other Names… Weird Names
“Honey”, “Sweetheart”, “Babe”, etc are monikers that no longer exist in your dictionary. Now, it’s all about calling each other funny names. Sometimes these names are so funny that you think twice before saying them aloud in public. Obviously, you can’t just address your SO with the weird names you’ve come up with when there are people around (like parents or colleagues). See, now that’s why you need their birth name to save you from the embarrassment in public. What’s the weirdest name you have for your SO?
4. You Both Become Poopy Mates
Gone are the days when you avoided using the bathroom to poop because you didn’t want your SO to get a whiff of your bathroom business. Now, you both just casually tease each other’s post-doo-doo odor. If you’re living apart, you don’t miss out on the opportunity to text each other when you are on the pot and also discuss the nature of the poop. Well, that’s important information you know? I mean, c’mon, you need to be comfortable sharing details of your bowel movements if you wish to spend the life with your SO, because then there’s no escaping.
5. Finding The Spot Has A Whole New Meaning Now
When we start dating, we make sure that we put our best foot forward. We do all it takes to please our partner. From making them smile to ensuring that they have a good time in bed, we keep their needs on priority. With times, these needs become more basic. Like scratching your man’s back and finding that exact spot where it’s itching.
6. Farting Becomes Funny And Comfortable
After all this time, we have no shame anymore. When we have to let one rip, we don’t believe in holding it in and walking ourselves to the secret chamber, we just let it go. We believe in freedom and we make sure that we announce it while we cut one. No matter how foul or unpleasant it smells, we don’t mind farting when our SO is around. Sometimes, we end up comparing our farts too! Gross? Yes! But, we don’t care, because we are comfortable being gross with each other.
7. You Prioritize Food Over A Romp In The Sheets
What would you pick – a large cheesy pizza with your favorite toppings or a quick session between the sheets? Well, it all depends on how far along you are in your relationship timeline. If it’s just as new as a baby, then you would pick the latter, but if it’s past the honeymoon phase, you would definitely choose food. Because, food is priority and foodgasm is a real thing, right?
8. You Channel Your Inner Child
Be it the childish behavior or the childlike voice or the childlike tantrums, you do it all. Because you have reached the phase in your relationship where you can shed all your inhibitions and just be yourself. And deep down, inside, we all are children in bodies of overgrown adults, right? The best part is that our SO is okay with this behavior because they do it too. After all, Dil to baccha hai ji, no?
9. You Make Peace With Their Hairy Story
When you’ve dated a woman for long enough, you know that it’s not just you two in the relationship. It’s you, your lady, and her tresses. The tresses will say show up uninvited everywhere — the pillowcase, the couch, the kitchen floor, your plate, or sometimes even when you lean in to kiss her. But, now it’s just an everyday story so you just deal with it.
10. You Realise That Showering Is Literally Steamy
Well, it’s a universally accepted fact that men can’t stand hot temperatures when it comes to showers. Now, if the two of you are planning to take a shower together, be prepared to see your man battling the hot water like it’s lava. He’ll move you around and put you right under the shower and he will stay away from the water till it gets a little cold. Well, now that’s a funny situation if you ask us!
11. Your Clothes Are No More Yours
Remember that sweatshirt of yours that your partner appreciated so dearly? Did she say that it looked comfortable? Well, you will not find it in your closet anymore. Because it’s gone to the other side — the side that belongs to your woman. Dear men, if you weren’t prepared for this, it’s time you realize that your clothes are going to be her favorite pieces of comfort clothing. She wears them because they’re comfortable, smell like you, and because they makes her look cute.
We don’t blame you if you just went awww over every illustration. With time, relationships take a lovely shape and with all that love and comfort taking over, there’s nothing that you hide from your partner. That’s the beauty of being in a compatible relationship, isn’t it? Imagine if you had to run to the bathroom every time you had to break wind. That would be hilarious!
