Most things in life are hard to imagine, and hard to fully relate to, until you’ve experienced them yourself, and long-term relationships are no exception.
When you’re newly in love, newly committed, or haven’t had the opportunity to be in a serious relationship at all, there are just some realities about, you know, forever that are impossible to imagine.
If you have been, or are, in a long term relationship, though, these 14 moments are going to feel just a bit too real.

This one just made me smile for some reason.

Just at my house?
