Who among us hasn’t reached a point in their relationship where comfort and complacency set in? You know what we’re talking about: sweatpants are often the go-to clothing, roses are rarely bought, and high-fives are exchanged more than hugs and kisses. This evolution happens because raising kids is hard, and, hey, they’re doing incredible things with sweatpants tech these days. Those pockets? The tailored look? The airflow? *kisses fingers like a chef*

The daily grind of committed life has a certain biological benefit. After all, the constant over-the-top impressing, the flutters in the stomach, the deer-in-the-headlights look of someone who’s practically chirping from love — that’s not sustainable. But some couples take this to mean that it’s time to cinch up the sweats and stop trying to impress their significant other. The “roommate phase”, as it’s known, can be dangerous territory. Time to plan your escape.
