We've pretty much all been there. We've been in that relationship with the guy (or girl) of our dreams that we thought would last forever and then one day, all of a sudden, it's over and you're listening to Taylor Swift lyrics while crying in the middle of your bedroom floor. In those first weeks, or months even, you think that you will never stop missing your significant other. You don't think that anyone or anything will ever make you happy like they did again. But then as time passes, you look up one day and realize that everyone actually was right: You really are okay.

While the longing for a relationship with that person is gone, sometimes I still catch myself missing a few things.

1. Their family

Often times, when you're in a relationship with someone, their family becomes your family too. You call their grandma "Nana" instead of her name and you grow to love their nieces and nephews as your own. I knew it was real for me when I started being comfortable going to his house even when he wasn't there. When your relationship with that person ends, so does your relationship with their family. It's not just one person you left behind, its an entire group of people.

2. Their pets

You know how happy your dogs are when you come home after being gone for the weekend? You get two different homes to do that with when you're in a relationship and honestly that was probably my favorite part of having a boyfriend.

3. Their Netflix Account

For me, I knew the relationship was really over when I tried to get on Netflix one day and he changed his password. I went from sharing a Netflix with one person to sharing it with my entire family, and that's a real struggle when only two people are allowed on an account at one time.

4. Having a solidified date for everything

Formal. Weddings. Family events. Random Friday nights. You never have to worry about going alone or doing that awkward thing where you ask a guy and have to say "just as friends" or "it's not a real date". You don't even have to think about it. You had your guy.

5. Having my own chauffeur

Whether it was to take me down the road to Sonic or on road trips in general, I never had to worry about driving myself or knowing where to go. When I just had to run in a store, or it was raining outside and the only empty parking spots were half way across the parking lot, I got dropped off at the door or he would just go run in for me.

6. An Insta post for every occasion

As much as we all hate those cheesy couple pictures with those cliche captions now, we still kinda miss making those posts. You know what I mean. The ones in the summer, "Summer Lovin," or at Christmas, "Baby, All I Want for Christmas is You," or the always faithful "Life with you makes perfect sense. You're my best friend." Oh, and we can't forget the probably worst of all, monthly anniversary pictures. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that these came straight off my own account. Falling into this category is why you got an extra like and comment on every picture you posted.

7. The endless supply of hoodies

One of the best parts of having a boyfriend is that you never have to remember your jacket because they always have one on hand for you. It's even better is if they douse themselves in cologne first.

8. Extra reasons for presents

Whether it was birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or the every so often "just because," you got a chance to give to someone all the time, and you also got to receive fun stuff that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Jewelry was always my favorite, but I also appreciated getting a vanilla bean frappaccino delivered to my work on a random Wednesday afternoon, too.

9. My best friend.

Honestly, I miss having that person who truly cared that I found that expensive water bottle that I lost at the beginning of last semester. Or the one who knew my order at basically every restaurant. I miss having that person that I can tag in funny tweets or sing every song to the top of my lungs with in the car. I miss having someone who will wait to fall asleep until they get a text from me that I made it home safe, or that I trust with literally every detail of my life. I miss being someone's priority and having them as mine. I miss the comfort of being with someone that knows me inside and out. It's kind of scary to think about having to start all over again to get to that point where you let someone know that much about you and be that big of a part of your life again.

Whether your relationship lasted 3 months or 3 years, you probably will find yourself missing at least a few of these things about your ex every couple of weeks or so. Even though I've found that I am in no position to be in a relationship at the moment, I still find myself wondering what it would be like to fill these voids again. While their family isn't replaceable, everything else on this list is. For me, it's just best to remember that someone is going to eventually walk into my life who will never stop sharing their Netflix password or their puppy cuddles with me.
