Nnine GIFS That Perfectly Describe Your Long-Term Relationship

Weird things start to happen when you’ve been with your S.O. for a while. You pick up on each other’s habits, know what they’re about to say before they say it, and maybe, even start to dress alike.

 

Despite your best efforts, you’ve inevitably become “that couple” and the best part is, you love it. First date butterflies are fun, but there’s something to be said for the intimacy that comes with peeing with the door open.

Here, we're breaking down all of the things that are bound to happen when you're in it for the long haul—in GIF form, obviously.

Your texts are about practicality, not romance.

At first, it was all witty banter, emojis, and getting to know you. Now, you know pretty much everything you need to know and only send friendly reminders to pick up toilet paper on the way home. (Spice up your sex life with this organic lube from the Women's Health Boutique.)
 

Everyone assumes you’re minutes away from marriage.

Or, if you're already engaged or married, it's all about "When are you going to have a baby?" People are overly concerned with your next steps.

Your social circles have become one in the same.

Remember when you had guy friends who weren't your boyfriend's friends? Yeah, me neither. Bonus points if you've successfully set up one of your friends and one of his friends and transformed them into a couple.

Thrills have taken on a whole new meaning.

The first kiss and first time meeting his family are far in the past. Now you have less traditional things to look forward to.
 

 

Your fave romantic evening revolves around the couch.

The best date is one where you can wear sweatpants. This is a fact.
 

Your fights get petty from time to time.

No, you don't want to order Thai food for the third time this week. Yes, you did clean the toilet seat last.

You speak your own unique language.

You would be mortified if anyone heard the weird voices and pet names you use when you're alone. Sometimes you can communicate with as little as a look...or a fart.
 

 

They know the true way to your heart.

Flowers and chocolate are romantic, but so are tampons and your fave Gatorade flavor. Find someone who can do both.

You’ve become each other’s person.

When the person you have the most fun with is also the person you're boning, you're set for life.
