You know you're no longer in the honeymoon stage when...

[Dziubka]

(Side note: not sure if my SO & I will ever use the toilet in front of the other. There are some things that I would much rather keep to myself.)

I find most of the things mentioned either perfectly normal (doing the laundry together) or... still don't do them and have no plans to.

I'm also honestly amazed that you sew underwear. I would just throw them away and go shopping
We've used the toilet in front of each other, when we had to (on trips mostly, where we didn't have a lot of comfort) but we made each other turn around.

In general I find it a bit sad to divide relationships in "the honeymoon stage" and "after-honeymoon-stage". I've seen it a lot on the forum and I always think it's quite -I don't know- sad? Obviously things aren't always going to be rosy and peachy, but it still sounds as if your relationship is necessarily going to become 'boring' and less intense...

i agree. but then i think the after-honeymoon stage is where you really develop feelings, and are comfortable around each other

I don't think this thread is meant to be sad... I think it's to make fun of the things you normally do after you get way too comfortable with your SO... things you probably never thought you'd be doing when you first got together and now sometimes you can't help but thinking "Oh God Why?!?"

When you try to initiate something while watching tv, and he says "Can we wait 5 minutes until this rowing event is over??"

(and I tried to point out that we can pause it, and apparently "it's not the same"!! Can't wait for the olympics to end )

My SO is saying the same thing about me! I'll go "wait... I gotta see this race first!!"

Yeah and this isn't about being sad and not having fun anymore, it's about talking how we have gotten really comfortable being with another person

And the one time I did my laundry with his... his was really smelly. I can't believe I even touched it, let alone put it in the wash with my underwear, they were that smelly. haha.

I love washing my SO's damp, stinky socks.

He sweats a lot when he exercises and when he pulls off his gross socks they stay in balls. So 5 days later when I do laundry it's my job to unroll them. Yuck! Sometimes I use other "less dirty" laundry to grab his super gross stuff.

Is it strange I don't see how doing the laundry counts as being out of the honeymoon stage? D: We've been doing our laundry together since we first met! Saves on washing time, space, and water!


I'll have to come back when I think up some!

Maybe I'm a little old fashioned but if some guy I was only dating brought over his dirty laundry and asked me to do it to "save water" I'd look at him like "say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!??"

LOL. I dunno! I guess it didn't occur to me when I was over to do two separate washes, or to them either. Neither one of us did them alone. We've always sorted and done and dried the wash together! I don't think you're old fashioned, though. It probably panned out a little smoother than your example would sound even to me.

When you're in the middle of a conversation and he goes, 'Wait, my balls itch." xD
I didn't even think much of it at the time, to be completely honest :P

Oh, and telling him how I wish I knew what a boner felt like :P

[Xanahtas]

When you are in the shower together and he asks you to shave his arse crack... Yup... :')

Im sure i can think of more later :P

[Deleted]

When you help him take that sharp toenail out of his toe... and scold him saying "Don't be a coward!!"

[Deleted]

Oh... and washing his converse because he stepped on dog poo!

*We have conversations whilst using the toilet. And we comment on how 'good' the #2 was and felt.
