It’s no secret to those of us who live with our significant others that there are some things you just can’t know until you’re sharing the same space day in and day out. Most of the things we learn are interesting, and tell us more about the person we love.
Some of the things start out as adorable but quickly become annoying, and other things…we’re not quite sure what to make of those.
These 22 couples got to know each other fast when they found themselves locked down together, and personally, I would like an update on whether or not things ended up working out.
21. Toilet time is family time.
This where the important conversations happen.
20. Fine, I’ll try it. Just shut up.
There are new and interesting ways to entertain ourselves.
19. How else do houses get cleaned?
We all have to have ways to take out our anger these days.
18. Friday nights.
Some of us had more fun in quarantine than others.
17. Seriously those are mine.
We’re all becoming quite territorial.
16. Your point?
Especially during the past couple years, shaving has become optional.
15. So you’re saying we’re doing this for a few more months?
I love a fun fact, but this woman needs therapy.
Wife: Did you know 95 percent of people are immune to leprosy?
Me: Wow.
Wife: Did you know humming birds are the only bird that can fly backwards?
Me: Oh.
Wife: Did you know I'm going to keep reading you facts until I'm not bored anymore?
Me: This quarantine needs to end.

14. I mean, they’re crunchy like a chip.
But why not just each chips?
During this quarantine I’ve learned that my boyfriend eats croutons all day as a snack.

13. If only it was so easy to deter children.
Or maybe her husband just sat outside the door and strummed.
Home quarantine status: my husband learned how to play “Beat It” on the ukulele and tried to show me but I’d locked myself in the bathroom

12. Why is this so, so accurate.
I’m in my closet right now, but still.

11. She has had it with your “jokes,” sir.
Unless it was nice outside, then she’s crazy. I would have just gone for a wander.
Me: *yelling through the front door* THANKS FOR THE DELIVERY. JUST LEAVE THE GROCERIES ON THE DOORSTEP.
Wife: let me in the fucking house.

10. His hairdresser must work magic.
Maybe you should name the baby after her.

9. I think that was an episode of The Twilight Zone.
Here’s hoping you don’t die at the end.
I told my wife about a dream I had where she was mad at me and she sided with dream wife and is now actually mad at me

8. I’d say you’re only about halfway through your punishment.
If you count silence as a punishment which I definitely would not.
My boyfriend said something about the NFL draft and I said “if the NFL has a draft it should close the window” and did finger guns and now he has not spoken to me in 12 hours

7. Some beans are just beans, and some are special.
I’m just loopy enough to find deeper meaning in that statement.
My partner and I got in a fight because I gave away two very important cans of beans to the little free library if you are wondering how my quarantine is going.

6. That’s not a surprise, but whatever.
It’s better than saying “I don’t care” and then turning up your nose.
Quarantine update: I asked my boyfriend if he had a lunch craving or if I should surprise him. He said he wanted a surprise but “the surprise should be Bagel Bites”

5. I wonder what his hair looks like now yeesh.
Also, this meme just made me giggle.

4. When you make yourself cringe.
But still, you just can’t stop.
“So how was your day” -me to my boyfriend after spending every waking second with him

3. As long as he got some alcohol, too, I wouldn’t complain.
Although some bacon would be nice.
For everyone complaining about being single during quarantine, I sent my boyfriend to the store to get groceries (FOR THE WHOLE WEEK) and he came back with this…. pic.twitter.com/shJc4uaJyZ

2. Life is give and take my friend.
So take the remote and put on Little Women post haste.
Boyfriend hasn’t been “in the mood” for Little Women for a month of quarantine and now there is a 10 part Michael Jordan documentary coming out and I am supposed to just fall into line?

1. Variety is the spice of life.
So is having someone to complain to who isn’t the person you’re complaining about.
I miss the days when my work wife and my wife wife were different people.

Relationships are wild, don’t you think? Like, you pick a human being and decide you’re going to enjoy their company for the rest of your life.
Weird.
What’s the strangest thing you learned about your partner over the past couple of years? We’d love to hear about it in the comments!
