How Many Of These Gross Things Do You And Your Partner Do Copy Duped

1. Share Toothbrushes

Image source: wiredYes, this probably makes you feel like that gagging reflex is kicking in.  It's true that some couples who have been together a good while might share toothbrushes if one of them is, say, staying over at the other's house and hasn't packed any overnight necessities.

2. Kiss With Morning Breath

Image source PinterestYou know that waking up to your partner is blissful until one of you leans in for a kiss and you taste that morning breath.  Singles will see this as a turn off but couples in a long term relationship will not be bothered by the less than minty taste and turn a blind eye - or a blind nostril.

3. Being Super Detailed About Your Time Of The Month

Image source QuoraYou wouldn't dream of discussing periods and how heavy they are etc. with a friend but your regular partner is a different kettle of fish.  You will go into great detail about the flow and how painful it is or that you might be leaking.  He might not want to hear the intimate details but it won't stop you giving him a full account when you're 'on'.

4. Farting

Image source The SunWhen you think back to the early days when you got together with your partner and you wanted him or her to think you were perfect in every sense of the word - well, what happened.  The pair of you are now not afraid to let rip and it doesn't even concern the other person.  You've even got to the stage where you don't even say 'excuse me'!

5. Leaving The Bathroom Door Wide Open

Image source New York PostPrivacy would have been paramount between two new lovers when it came to bathroom etiquette.  That door would not only be closed when you wanted to use the toilet but you'd use the lock as well so as not to face any embarrassing situations.  Fast forward a year or more and that door isn't just left unlocked; it's left wide open and neither of you have a care in the world about it.

6. Burping Out Loud!

Image source Daily MailA romantic meal between two first daters and it's going well, really well and you want to create the best impression.  You feel a burp coming on and do your best to stifle it or turn it into an imaginary sneeze.  Things have moved on from there and you're not only burping out loud in front of each other but also making tunes out of burps or trying to burp on command!

7. Not Caring About Your Body Odour

Image source MedicoRemember when you were at school and there would be one person that would absolutely honk from disgusting body odour.  Everyone, apart from that kid , was aware of the pungent smell but no one said anything as they were uncomfortable mentioning it for fear of upsetting the individual.  Now, thinking about your long term partner, if there was an unsightly whiff about them, you'd tell them in no certain terms to use deodorant and if they refused to believe you, you'd confirm the point by sniffing their armpits and screaming 'you stink to high heaven'!

8. Picking Your Nose

Image source FreepikThere's nothing quite as disgusting as seeing anyone picking their nose and if it was your new love interest, that liaison wouldn't last.  However, once the two of you are like a pair of comfortable slippers, either of you might be seen searching for (sorry) bogies in the middle of watching 'Stranger Things'.

9. Food Hygiene

Image source Reader's DigestAfter the first few dates when all is going well, you may wish to show off your culinary skills to prove you are indispensable to that person.  A romantic meal, home cooked or shop bought with a sprinkling of your own breadcrumbs and parsley over the top to fool them that you made it from scratch, will seal the deal and you will be feeding each other fruit dipped in chocolate by the end of the evening.  Skip forward to when you are in a proper relationship with them.  You can't be bothered to cook so a 5 day leftover fish pie is served up.  Even though the prawns MIGHT be an issue after this time, you still dish up.

10. Pedicure

Image source AllureNothing wrong with giving yourself a pedicure so those half inch toe nails don't scratch your partner in bed or, even worse, catch on the bed sheet, but clipping toe nails and painting them while you are both sat together on the sofa and the odd nail flicking in their direction, is 100% gross.  It doesn't stop you doing it though.

11. Pimples

Image source InsiderYou've been seeing each other for ages and are even talking about the biggest commitment ever - buying a dog together!  You can feel a spot on your back and it's got a head on it (hope you're not eating, reading this).  Rather than try and twist your body 90 degrees to get to the pimple, you ask your partner to check it out and squeeze it.

12. Sleepies

Image source All About VisionIn the first flushes of love, in your eyes, you see your partner as perfect in every way but fast forward to the morning after and instead of staring lovingly into those deep blue pools of gorgeousness, you start picking the crusty sleepies from the corners of their eyes.

13. Too Much Booze

Image source Verywell MindA cheeky bottle of wine between you two is relaxing and sociable.  It helps you unwind as you're listening to music in your first home together.  Another bottle of wine and everything you mention is hysterical and by the third, you know it's a bad idea.  One of you feels dizzy and can't make it quick enough to the bathroom and the inevitable happens.  I won't spell it out but the other person clears it up - that's love for you!

14. Sharing Utensils

Image source PinterestPut your hand up if this is you - Deliveroo drops your takeaway off and you both sit down in front of the telly to eat it.  The side order of gooey, cheesy nibbles isn't exactly finger food and there's only one fork  on the coffee table.  Neither of you can be arsed to get up and move 5 steps to the cutlery draw so you SHARE the utensil.  It's lazy, it's unhygienic but who cares?

15. Sunburn Heaven

Image source InsiderIt's quite a pleasurable experience applying factor 50 to each other's back before basking in the sun.  What isn't so delightful is 3 days later when, having overdone it with the rays, your skin is as flaky as the pastry on a Greggs sausage roll.  There's nothing else you can do except ask you partner to peel the skin off.

16. Kitchen Mishap

Image source RedditOnce you've been in a relationship for more than your usual 3.5 weeks because YOU are ever so fussy, think again whether it's acceptable to cook lasagne, take it out of the oven, drop it on the floor and then scoop a portion on to a pasta dish (being careful to remove any debris from the floor that's attached itself to the Italian speciality) and serve it up to your loved one, smiling sweetly.

17. Bathroom Sharing

Image source QuoraSharing is caring so they say.  Once familiarity sets in between you and your other half you stop asking if the bathroom is free.  You just barge in to do wee (hopefully nothing else) as the Ying to your Yang is brushing their teeth or plucking the monobrow that's starting to look creepy.

18. Smelly Feet

Image source If you had the slightest indication that your feet weren't as fresh as a daisy you'd go and wash them in the shower or sink (if you're flexible).  That was before there was another human sharing your life, in which case you would ask them outright 'do my feet smell'?  If he or she then temporarily faints then the answer is in the affirmative.

19. Plug Hole Hair

Image source Daily ExpressDuring the early days in your new relationship you try to be seen as being ten out of ten in every department.  After all, you are the only one amongst your friends who isn't married with two kids and you don't want to be associated with that statistic any longer.  You're now happily living in sin, being nice and tidy and cleaning up after yourself, particularly in the bathroom.  The honeymoon period is starting to waver and a quick wipe round the sink, after a full beauty routine, is all you can be bothered to do.  Your other half notices the water is only trickling out of the shower so he or she PICKS OUT a great ball of YOUR hair - disgusting but true.

20. Random Hairs

Image source Health DigestAt one time it would be the furthest thing from your mind - finding a random 4 inch hair growing out of your back.  Panic sets in about how to get rid of it, apart from using your tailoring scissors from your dressmaking course and trying to reach round and cut it off.  No choice but to ask your significant other to tweezer it out and the funny thing is, it doesn't bother them one iota.

21. Baby Noises

Image source Marriage.comWhen you are so comfortable in the company of your other half and literally head over heels in love with them, it can make your brain do funny things like speak to your partner is a silly baby voice and they reply in the same tone.  If your prospective mother-in-law has just let herself in (again) with the spare key, this can be a tad embarrassing.

22. Sharing Chewing Gum

Image source The ListThere's not very nice, there's gross and then there's totally unacceptable - which category would you put this into?  There's only one piece of Wrigley's melting in the glove compartment of the car and you both need to freshen your breath after devouring a family size garlic pizza before you left home.  Rather than splitting it in two, as you may have done in the early days of your relationship, one of you has 10 'chews' and then passes the gum over for the other to have.

23. Using Their Bath Water

Image source The MirrorThere's nothing more relaxing than a hot bubble bath after a tiring day or following a heavy gym session.  That is the case for partner number one but once their skin has gone crinkly in the water and the fragrant bubbles have all but disappeared, they get out and partner number 2 gets in the bath - no point in wasting water now you're on a water meter!

24. Checking For Ear Wax

Image source Boots HearingcareSome habits that live-in partners develop happen gradually until they become the norm.  Who would have thought you would be checking the depths of your loved one's ear holes, looking for traces of wax or, worse still, potato-like balls, growing in there, yuck!!  It's not pleasant.

25. Wearing Old Underwear

Image source Daily MailThose were the days when you would only wear matching underwear or designer boxers at the start of the new relationship.  How things have changed.  He is turning his pants inside out to get another day's wear out of them and you are parading about in what was a white bra, which is now grey and a pair of blue knickers with a torn seam from trying to put two legs into one, when you were really tired that morning.

26. Wiping Their Mouth

Image source Daily MailWe aren't talking about caring for a toddler or a baby we have just started weening, who has mashed banana all over them.  This is about our partner when they've got bolognaise sauce and two grains of mince trapped in the corner of their mouth.  Instead of gesturing to them that there is something unsightly on show (don't be thinking of anything rude now!), we actually wipe their mouth for them.

27. Sharing A Razor

Image source CosmopolitanAny males reading this, you might want to skip this one.  When we have run out of our own razors or hair removal cream, there is only one thing for it.  No, it's not to embrace the fuzz!  We HAVE to use our partner's razor, without asking them and without telling them.  They will soon find out our guilty secret when they shave their face and are covered in cuts - oops!

28. Dirty Laundry

Image source PinterestCan you imagine handling your wonderful partner's dirty smalls?  There was a time when they would wash their own or drop their laundry at their mum's house, for her to wash, iron and deliver back to your property!  Familiarity now means that you don't just clean them but you pick them off the bathroom/bedroom floor.

29. Weight Issue

Image source Dreamstime.comIt's so insulting and tactless to tell anyone they have put on weight. Even if they ask you, you would lie and say it wasn't the case.  When your life partner starts looking like they've been eating all the pies, you could start serving them up half a lettuce and some fresh air but, no, you tell them outright that they have got fat and their four chins have morphed into one.

30. Crumbs In Bed

Image source Deposit PhotsDoesn't it sound idyllic, eating strawberries and drinking champagne (or Lidl's equivalent sparkling wine).  Even tea and toast brought to you in the morning on a chipped plate is thoughtful and appreciated.  However, watching your partner pick up the escaped crumbs from his/her belly button and eating them is another story all together.
