Thinking about moving in with your significant other? Or, have you already? Living together can be a beautiful way to move forward in a relationship but of course, it can also be challenging and hard work! These illustrations are hilariously on-point and well worth the Sunday distraction. See more pros and cons below the cut!
This is a big one: Sharing possessions can be great and adorable… until you disagree.
Bathroom business: it’s not sexy!
Fighting about nothing: according to Psychology Today, this is extremely common in relationships and stems from a number of relational patterns. Bypassing, or the tendency to assume criticism when none was intended is one of the most common culprits for couple’s fights. Dr. Nando Pelusi recommends reflecting on and identifying the triggers when these moments arise. [via GirlsGuideTo]
Do these pros and cons resonate with you, Lovelies? Do you live with your significant other?

Ridiculously true! My boyfriend and I have been living together for over a year and last week we had a fully blown argument about which mugs to buy, haha.

I don’t remember having too many arguments while living with my guy, I only remember him tell me to stop stealing the blanket

I feel ya on this stuff. I don’t live with my bf but his 1st language is not English and English is my only language so a lot of times we fight about silly misunderstanding because of culture/language gap.

Sure, it’s funny at first…and then 5 and a half years go by and you start losing your mind…like me… -.-

@flapper_femme_fatale@xanga - I know how that feels! My boyfriend complains that I have too much of EVERYTHING. Too many shoes, too much makeup, too many books, too much everything according to him. And yet, I keep having to pack my stuff up in boxes to put in my mother’s attic, because he has SO much crap that I can’t even fit my stuff in the damn house. In our bedroom, he has a closet, a huge bureau, and an equally huge wardrobe (which was actually supposed to be for MY clothes) so COMPLETELY full of his own clothes that I had to buy a cheap plastic drawer to stuff under our bed and I have to keep my clothes in -there-. Oh, but I’M the one with too much stuff. Ugh! It’s SO frustrating! And not to mention the fact that I’ve literally half ripped off my toe nail THREE TIMES (very painful), because not only does he also have TONS of shoes…he doesn’t even put the damn things away; he just leaves them scattered around the house. No matter how many times I pick them up and put them away, I always end up tripping over one and/or catching my toe nail on one! Even if I DO have a lot of shoes, at least I pick up after my damn self.
Um…sorry for my rant…I got a little enthusiastic. lol

You missed a frame.

It’s “of course,” not “of coarse.” Coarse implies texture, as in “her hair was stiff and coarse like the fur on her dog’s ass.”

Hah that “talking in my sleep” one is me…When I used to stay with my boyfriend he said I spoke parseltongue and tried to get his chameleon out of it’s cage.
