The 17 Relationship Milestones That Actually Matter

13. The First Fart

He’s seen you with no makeup on. You’ve had sex while you were on your period. You even admitted that you don’t love his cat because you’re actually deathly allergic and somehow it knows and won’t leave you alone.

But until you’ve farted in front of each other, you and your boo still have secrets, my friend.

 

14. Meeting The Parents

If your boyfriend’s mom doesn’t like you, you might as well jump out the window of his second-story childhood bedroom…

At least that’s what it feels like.

And if your girlfriend’s dad doesn’t like you? Hope you can run, fast.

It’s hard enough appeasing your own parents, let alone impressing someone else’s, so this courtship ritual is bound to be torture, but sadly, it’s not optional.

It also signifies the end of the honeymoon phase; from here on out, baby, this relationship is gonna take work. 

 

15. Merging Accounts

One Netflix account. One Hulu account. One Amazon Prime account. That was already major, and then one day, you wake up with shared bank accounts. At that point, you might as well swap social security numbers – so unless you’re absolutely certain that your S.O. won’t murder you and steal your identity, it’s probably best if you never make it this far.
