Boring Couple Behavior That’s Actually Pretty Dope - Page 13

For outsiders looking in, committed relationships must look really boring sometimes. I know that when my single friends post Instagram photos of the table service they’re enjoying at a nightclub, and I post an Instagram photo of eating pizza on my boyfriend’s stomach, my single friends probably feel really bad for me. But honestly, I don’t want their pity. While some people think that a lot of “boring couple behavior” is what makes a relationship fall apart, it can actually be the glue that holds it together. Newsflash: most of life’s moments are boring. And it’s just those boring moments that, if your partner can make them better, make you realize you belong together. Here are 15 examples of “boring couples behavior” that are actually pretty cool.

I love nights when my boyfriend and I act like deviants and tell our friends we can’t come to the party because we “Have special plans…” when we’re actually sitting in bed with Netflix all cued up.

Everybody wants to leave the party to go to their favorite burrito truck–they just feel like they can’t, because they’ll miss out on something. Not when you’re in a relationship. When you’re in a relationship, at a party, you’re missing out on going to your favorite burrito truck with your favorite person.

There is no need to pretend that you still have any interest in drinking on Sunday. When you’re in a relationship, you can lay in bed and be the hungover, puffy-eyed, Dominos-ordering slobs that you feel like and nurse each other back to health.

One word texts are not the end of communication–they are the pinnacle of it. I love text exchanges that go a little something like this: “Thai?” “W/ Walking Dead?” “And IPAs?” “Cool.”

Being in the bathroom can be boring! It’s nice to have somebody to talk to while you floss and apply acne spot treatment.

If you have to get work done anyway, then why not do it in bed, next to your partner, with your legs all tangled up in each other?

When you have a person you love and an animal you love, you don’t even need to speak anymore. You can just lay there, in your little love pile, with you and your partner going “Aaaw” to every single tiny movement your pet makes.

Predictable sex

Having him dye your hair

Cutting his hair

Complaining about having to exercise

There’s nothing like a boyfriend to tell you, “Yeah. You can eat that pizza. We haven’t had pizza in, like, two weeks, so you’re good.” And there’s nothing like a girlfriend to say, “And you should eat that full rack of ribs. It’s protein–ya know? And barbecue sauce is basically a vegetable.”
