1. Always having someone to do mundane tasks with.

It’s like having your best friend with you when you have to do boring chores from laundry mats to doctors appointments, except they’re happy to be there with you.

3. Never having to be uncomfortable in public, either physically or mentally.

Even the middle seat on an airplane is less miserable when you can put your head on the shoulder of the person next to you and laugh about an inside joke.

7. Not feeling weird when there’s nothing to talk about.

It’s just like…ok there’s nothing to say. Not like when you’re dating someone new and you’re trying to think of anything to break an uncomfortable silence.

14. Just being able to have someone to text or maintain constant contract with.

The hardest part of every relationship ending for me is not having a text every time I look at my phone or not being able to look forward to telling my gf something that happened during the day.

15. Sleeping together.

I don’t mean sex (although that’s obviously great), I mean literally just sleeping together. Being able to drift off to sleep feeling safe and comforted because that person is there next to you. Having someone there if you have a bad dream in the middle of the night. Waking up briefly and just feeling their presence and knowing that everything is okay and going back to sleep. I hate when my husband travels and I have to sleep alone and when I wake up at night half the bed is cold (although I love when he gets up a little earlier than I do and I can roll over and snuggle into the little dent he left in the mattress which is all cozy and warm and smells like him).

16. Just being completely ridiculous with someone.

Last night I hid from my partner under the dooner/duvet (or whatever you want to call it) and she couldn’t find me for a few seconds. It was completely stupid, but we both had a great laugh.

17. Funny movies are funnier with someone else laughing.

— FCCCaffeineQueen

18. Coming home to the same person every night.

I LOVE that feeling.
— MsKlinefelter

19. Having meals together.

That’s probably one of the worst things for me about being single. I love to cook. But hate just eating it myself. In a relationship you always have someone there to enjoy it with you.

20. Watching that person just exist.
