A Few Signs You Know You've Been In A Long Term Relationship
Allison Jordan

Every relationship is different, but when you've been with someone for so long a lot of things become second nature to you.

Here are a few signs you know you've been in a long term relationship when ...

1. You no longer knock when you walk into their house.

2. You're perfectly fine hanging out at home together... doing nothing.

3. You'll spend time with their family even when they aren't around.

4. Their parents will text/call you to see where they are.

5. "I love you" is your form of "goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow."

6. If you lose something it's more than likely at their house.

7. Their parents buy you your own drinks/snacks when they go grocery shopping because they know what you like.

8. A plate is always automatically fixed for you for dinner.

9. Not only do you know your boyfriend/girlfriend's schedule, you know their parent's work schedules as well.

10. Burps come out without hesitation.

11. They always get you your favorite snack at the gas station ... even when you're not with them.

12. Doing something for each other is just second nature.

13. You could order for them at almost any restaurant.

14. No need to brush your hair before they come over, or put on makeup for that matter.

15. You don't have to text all the time because you already know what the other is doing.

16. You will stop in mid conversation to pop a zit you see on them (gross... maybe... enjoyable... yes...).

17. It's too much to make two drinks so you always have a "couple's cup."

18. Your idea of an exciting Friday night is falling asleep on the couch, watching a movie you didn't quite agree on.

19. Tweezing their unibrow is a monthly routine.

20. You will be the first to tell them if their breath stinks.

21. You don't get jealous... at all... you are confident in your relationship.

22. You don't bite your tongue... they will always know how you're feeling.

23. You can joke about their ex's... because you both know that you're the only one for each other.

24. You'll love them no matter how much they bug you or get on your nerves. Your love is a forever kinda thing. It's special. It's like nothing you've ever imagined... and you don't plan on ever loosing this feeling.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
