Things you do when you
have been together for a long time
Look, you do dubious things when you're alone (read here for a moment), but you also develop crazy habits when you've been together with your love for a long time. And today I'm celebrating 8 years and 6 months with him. EIGHT AND A HALF, yes. I consider that an achievement. Not just for myself, but especially for the man in my life. That deserves to be said out loud.
When you spend such a time frame together, peculiar habits arise. I'm not saying that we do all of this together, but I've done thorough research in my circle of friends (and yes, I'll just spill it, there are some awkward habits of your editors in there).
The toothbrush
That gets borrowed. Oh dear, but really, you use it after a wash when you're in the middle of nowhere without a brush.
Just like the razor
His Razer Blade works wonders on those stilts of yours. You can't help that, can you?
Your life becomes one
big borrowing system
Delen is geven
Your life actually becomes one big borrowing system when you move in together. My boyfriend's buzzed haircut smells suspiciously often like my long-hair shampoo. And we also have a shared calendar. Yes, I know; the number one irritation of singles.
That smallest room
There are couples who sit on the pot without shame when their love is scrubbing their teeth or leave the door wide open. I don't want to go that far, because I just don't want to share EVERYTHING in that regard. But finishing a conversation through the door? I'm totally okay with that.
Letting that stuff fly
And then from zones you actually don't want to know about. The romance flies out the window with the first firm odor. So I know couples who even make a competition out of it. Just chilling together on the couch to see who can do it the loudest. I don't get it at all, but to each their own.
Providing each other alibis
Pfff, you really should visit this or that person, but does it have to be today? No way. He gives you a flawless alibi and no one notices or finds it suspicious. How delightful.
