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

[Zephii]

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

Oh this reminds me...

.... When you cut a hole in your arm, poke one end of your BC implant til it sticks out of the hole and say "Hey can you grab this for me?"

Also... when you notice a booger stuck to the sheet on his side of the bed, and rather than insisting the sheets be washed, you ask him to pick it off instead.
.... when he can make fat jokes about you, and you laugh.
... when you know his favourite meal to cook before you ask him for a favour.

I just got a little bit faint. @_@

When you're openly discussing digestive issues in great detail - no longer politely saying you had an upset stomach...

This. ^

(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.)

You might be surprised... I was shocked after we married and moved into together how quickly we got comfortable with each other (him a lot more than me, to my dismay ). I still try to keep as much privacy as much as I can (it's always been a discreet thing for me), but that occasionally ends up taking a bit of a backseat to convenience.

I could probably do it if I absolutely had to due to my high tolerance of pain and squicky things but that made me go O_o

Me too. D:

But I finally came up with one. Hopefully it counts as being out of the honeymoon stage when you ask if you can bend his penis. >.>;;

[one-more-reason]

after sexy times you just hang out down there and play with the skin of his balls, commenting how weird and flappy and saggy balls are and he just nods and agrees.

when he farts and instead of saying excuse me just smacks his butt and laughs.

when you're right in the middle of sex and he reaches over, grabs a tissue, and blows his nose, never pausing. yep.

(I love how the majority of this thread is about some kind of bodily function :P)

This is great!

I asked "Will you please jump up and down a few times?" when he was prancing around with an erection, but we were still in the honeymoon phase, I just... really wanted to see what would happen hahaha.

I guess we've been out of the honeymoon stage for a long time but some of these really made me laugh out loud I guess our "knew it was out of the honeymoon stage was when the toilet clogged up and I was right beside him, digging out the pipe, covered in *yeah you guessed it* and we were laughing about whether the clog was from before I moved in, or after. Gross yes, but we work on our own house and haven't had to call out for any repairs or anything since we moved back into the house. I'm just thankful I have a man that can and does work on things like that... even when he comes out of it smelling horrible. That day I made him strip on the backporch and get in the shower or I was going to spray him down, butt naked, with the water hose before he went back inside.

Yeah it's how I feel too. I feel a strong need for privacy, especially with bathroom functions.
Speaking of that, I was surprised when I accidentally walked in on my boyfriend in the toilet once, he was peeing while kneeling down. He said it makes less of a splash and it's especially handy when he has an erection (it was in the morning). I've never heard of it before.

LOL. I still can't rip off his underwear for fear I'm going to hurt it! He bounces it up and down for me to prove otherwise, but it doesn't seem like it'd be comfortable flailing everywhere like it does when ripping off clothes.

I asked my boyfriend about this, he found it a smart idea, and now he's determined to try it. xD

ETA: You know you're out of the honeymoon stage when your boyfriend wants to ruin all your FB photos with tags.

ETA (again): "They're not ruined. They're enhanced." Okay, boyfriend.

-When he spanks himself in front of you. (He is strange at times. Haha. :P)
-When you go to Walmart at 2 a.m. to get stool softeners cause your belly hurts and you can't poop.
-When you crack each others toes.

He was down on one knee actually. I think there is some height requirement though, my boyfriend is about 6'1. But I was curious about whether it's the norm so I googled it and apparently it's a legit way to pee for many guys.
There are even products for kneelers, like this:


I think teapot is my new favourite pet word for his English peen.

OMG, you really do learn something new everyday! I just hung up with my guy, I so wish I would have seen this first, now I have to wait til tomorrow to ask him about this.

[Phantomrose]

You know you're out of the honeymoon stage, when you and your SO are comfortable using the bathroom at the same time. When my husband last visited me, we were pretty much doing that. xD Either him having a pee while I was taking a shower, or me having a pee while he was in the shower... so far no number 2s though. I am still not comfortable with that. xD

[lucybelle]

He asked to borrow my tweezers and I said "for what body part?"
