7 Signs You are Too Comfortable with Your Significant Other

After you've been with someone for a couple of years, all modesty and self-preservation seems to fly out the window.  Especially after you've had kids.  Apparently, once your spouse has seen you push a kid out ("It's like a wet St. Bernard trying to come through a cat door!" was my fiance's reaction) they no longer worry about what they look like, smell like, or sound like in your presence.  And of course, women are no different, we tend to stop caring so much about impressing our significant other too.

So here ya go:  15 Signs You Are Too Comfortable with Your Significant Other.

How to know you're been with your husband too long



1.  When you first got together, it may have seemed like you were the only two people in the world without any gastrointestinal issues.  Taco Bell?  No problem!  If one of you did have to pass gas, it was discreet and separate from your partner - and the occasional poot that slipped out was always embarrassing and resulted in an apology.  Now?   Burps and farts are second nature and aren't even followed by an "excuse me" half the time.  In fact, the louder the flatulence, the more proud the man seems to be - and many a time rooms are cleared with the green fog that is left behind.

2.  Once upon a time, you cared about the little things - namely, your underwear.  Seldom did you spend time with your other half unless you had on the sexiest, most uncomfortable panties that you knew would get a reaction.  For the men, boxers were always clean and looked new.  Gone are those days!  Now, comfort rules and "granny panties" fill your drawers.  You might pull out that tiny pair you got for Valentine's day on an extra special occasion - but more often than not, you no longer think twice about what underwear you have on.

3.  Along with #2 is the pajama rule.  Apparently, once you have been with someone for a long time, lingerie is no longer standard and is replaced with sweatpants and a hoodie.  Same for men - where they once wore those clean, fresh boxers, now they will sleep in a pair of god-awful sweatpants with the hole in the crotch.

4.  Remember those days when you would excuse yourself to adjust an undergarment (or body part)?  Now it isn't uncommon to reach down your pants and pick a wedgie in the middle of a conversation, or for him to adjust his manhood while eating supper.  

5.  Oh those date nights that lasted until morning.  When you would jump up to smooth your hair and wash your face before he saw you...  Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore.  Now, you feed the kids breakfast before you even look in the mirror and are oblivious to the eyeliner smudged half-way down your face and the matted up ponytail.   

6.  Expecting a make-out session?  Don't even think about how you used to chew a piece of gum or run and brush your teeth before a kiss - now morning breath or leftover lunch dictates how your mouth is going to taste.

7.  Last, but not least, is the romantic factor.  Whereas the past brought you flowers and sweet love notes, the present gives you no more than the kiss goodbye and the occasional couch snuggles.

It's not all bad though - getting comfortable enough with someone to lose false pretenses and fake personas means you have found someone who you can be yourself around - and it's worth every moment.

What kind of things would you add to the list?

  1. LOL! I love your list. Add to that sharing the bathroom. I use to be a "door closed means stay out" kinda girl...now I'm like, "All your doing is brushing your teeth? I gotta go!" :D

    Great post!

  3. I love it. Definitely agree with Carrie Ann - no longer close the door when in the bathroom. Early on in my marriage, I would always try to be "extra fresh" when going to bed - showered, teeth brushed, a spritz of perfume but not any more!

  4. Cute post. I'm adding this to my Married Life Pinterest board. I think it's funny to remind ourselves of how comfortable we get with our spouses... but still save time for romance! :)

  7. LOL! I have so many cute bedtime outfits that I used to wear, but didn't keep me warm enough and now just sit in a drawer. Ha!

  8. Omg, the saint bernard through a cat door made me laugh so hard! I would add using the restroom in front of each other/not closing the door. Gross, but true, for a lot of people. :)

  9. So true! #6 is my downfall. I hate making out now. It's bothersome and for some reason it tickles my tongue when it didn't in the beginning.

  10. Love this! I would definitely agree with other commenters...not shutting the door when going to the bathroom or just doing it in front of the other person!
