13 Things That Happen When You Reach A Comfortable Stage In Your Relationship

So you’ve been dating someone for a while, and getting to know each other and taking it slow (or perhaps fast, your life your choice hon!). And maybe you don’t realize it, but this ‘thing’ has moved beyond just dating and has blossomed into a relationship. Say you are not sure or you don’t know how to tell if you’ve reached a comfortable peak in your relationship? Well, these are the signs to look for.

1. When you don’t refrain from hogging in front of your partner

Instead of behaving “lady-like” and picking at your food, you actually eat it all!

 

2. And you stop freaking out about gaining weight

Well, good things come in big packages sometimes!

 

3. You also stop sticking strictly to your beauty regime

Bushy eyebrows or fuzzy legs? You know he wouldn’t mind dealing with it.

 

4. You don’t mind crying in front your partner anymore

And I don’t mean the dramatic shedding of a couple of tears; I’m talking about the ugly crying here, complete with hiccups, snot and a runny nose.

 

5. When you can make fun of your partner freely

Because by now he’s learnt to live with your twisted sense of humour and even has started appreciating it.

 

6. You don’t care about what you wear much anymore

Sure, you put on a hot LBD while going out, but you can also roam in your pajamas in front of him.

 

7. And you can complain about B.O. or bad breath to them

Long gone are those days of extreme use of mouth freshener and deodorants.

 

8. Then again, you are perfectly okay with kissing them first thing in the morning

Even before either of you have brushed your teeth. #LouKaMamla after all!

 

9. You don’t mind dragging them to go shopping with you or haggling in front of them

Because that’s just part of the awesome package that’s your relationship.

 

10. Your phones aren’t off limit from each other anymore

You will leave your wallet lying here and there but will never leave your phone unattended, right? But once you reach that peak comfort zone in your relationship, you don’t mind them handling your phone or taking calls anymore, do you?

 

11. Getting physical isn’t the only reason why you seek privacy anymore

Instead of making out, you can totally spend hours talking and even arguing about things ranging from global warming to who needs to get up to get food from the fridge while nestled together.

 

12. You stop being conscious about your sleeping habits

He snores, you talk in your sleep, but both of you have learnt to live with that now.

 

13. And lastly, you are perfectly comfortable talking about each others’ past now

Because the past is history, while what you two are together, is the beautiful present you don’t want to think beyond.

Dressing up, meeting new people, dating, all these are well and good but to be honest, nothing can beat a good old relationship. You’ll always be a bit nervous and unsure while dating, but a relationship, especially once matured, gives you wings, metaphorically speaking! 🙂
