Here, via Reddit, 12 women in long-term relationships share the moment they knew the honeymoon period was done and dusted.
1. "When he started going to the bathroom without closing the door, and I started going in to brush my hair while he was in there." [Via]
2. "When we started squeezing each other's spots." [Via]
3. "Right now, trying to file our taxes for the first time as a married couple. What a nightmare." [Via]
4. "It comes in waves for me honestly. I go through a honeymoon cycle every so often, where we are like a new couple or newlyweds all over again. All giggly and touchy and smiley. When we left it for real the first time, I knew it because I felt comfortable. I didn't need to brag to anyone about anything. I didn't want to bone every second of every day. It was enough just watching TV or reading books side by side. I like this part even more than the honeymoon phase." [Via]
5. "We started farting next to each other." [Via]
6. "When he started playing VR later than I can stay up. Nothing says 'one player game' like strapping a screen to your face and shutting the door most weekend nights." [Via]
7. "When he started giving me a lot of detailed descriptions of his bowel movements." [Via]
8. "I'm about to that point right now. I am getting annoyed when we sleep in the same bed or hang out, and I have built up a lot of resentment over some things. Grudges are easy to form and so hard to let go of. The cheery, silly love is [just] about gone and it's not the honeymoon [anymore] in a sad/not good way." [Via]
9. "About four months in, we moved in with each other and he pooped so loud I heard it across the room from the bathroom. I laughed, he laughed, we got married a year and a bit later. It's been 11 years since and we still laugh at each other's poop sounds... Or any bodily function." [Via]
10. "I'm kind of in [this] spot [now]. I wouldn't say it's the same kind of feeling as when we started. I'm not fluttery and scared he won't like me. I feel safe in knowing he probably won't go anywhere after almost three years. I trust him a lot more. I'm still learning a lot about him. It's just not as new [because] I have context. But I really like that feeling. It's just an evolution of the relationship." [Via]
11. "When we started being honest with each other, even if it pissed [us] off." [Via]
12. "When he seemed comfortable giving me a Dutch Oven." [Via]
