Love is a precious thing. We are lucky enough to experience it as humans, and although it can hurt sometimes, it also provides us with some of the greatest moments. I've personally been in a relationship for over three years and between me and some other couples who have been together for a while, we've come up with some things we've all experienced as we grow closer together. Here are my top ten:
1. Inside jokes.
Both of you start giggling like a couple of school girls when someone you know mentions that phrase you were just laughing about and you just look at each other and laugh and everyone thinks you're nuts. :)
2. Realizing they know you better than you know yourself sometimes.
Sometimes you don't even have to say a word and your s/o can know exactly what you're thinking. Did you just let out a big sigh in the middle of your meal? That means you're full, and they know that and recognize it before you.
3. Knowing that the reason behind the grumpiness is actually just hunger. (They know when you're hangry.)
Just feed me sushi and nobody gets hurt.
4. You're also best friends.
You can joke around and talk like best friends but also be mushy and gross, too. It's a win-win.
5. Road bumps happen.
Fights suck, and yes, they do happen once in a while. That's what happens when you have two different humans with two different minds. But you're not worried, because love conquers all in the end and one of you will cave and go to the place the other really wants for dinner.
6. There's suddenly new things added on to your beauty/maintenance routine.(usually for guys)
"Let me get that thing on your face." "Why don't you exfoliate?" You should use this cream I just got." All familiar phrases in my book, and all in good heart too, of course.
7.Insane amount of trust.
You trust them with anything- anything.
8. You discover new things with each other.
The two of you may be polar opposites, so there's a lot of new things to learn for the both of you; new music, food, and games are right around the corner, and by now you might be a Drake fan that listens to Slipknot from time to time.
9. You become a package deal when being invited to things.
You and __ blank are coming right? Yes, yes we are.
10. You let them into the deepest parts of your mind, and heart.
Probably one of the scariest things to do for most people. But when you've been with someone long enough, it happens, and you're okay with it because when you love someone it's not as scary as it seems.
