“Why is being in a long-term relationship so great? I love it for the fact that you don’t really need to explain yourself too much. After a while you both start to understand your quirks (like why you are uncontrollably crying during “that time of the month” for no reason or why he stopped listening half-way through your conversation because he got hungry). I also think it’s fun because it’s like always having your best friend around. In this stage of life, a lot of friends are moving to different cities for careers or having babies and building families and you eventually do lose touch or not talk as regularly. Being in a long-term relationship means you always have someone to talk to when you’ve had a rough day OR to not even talk and just watch a silly movie and laugh together. It’s the best!” – Female, together for five years
