In most, if not all relationships, there comes a point where a certain stage of familiarity and comfort is reached.
In most, if not all relationships, there comes a point where a certain stage of familiarity and comfort is reached.
Where things stop being embarrassing or unorthodox. Where honesty is appreciated and not seen as offensive.
But how you know that you and your partner have reached the ultimate level of ‘comfort zone’?
A recent study suggests that a relationship hits the comfort zone after exactly 11 months and 24 days.
The study, conducted on 2000 people, suggests it takes up to at least a year for a couple to start feeling comfortable enough to start sharing their life and living space.
Here are some of the signs that scream “we have reached the comfort zone”:
Using toilet without locking
Growing up we are taught to close the door behind us when entering the bathroom to handle business.
According to the study, couples who do not mind their significant other’s poop smell have reached the ultimate comfort zone.
Crying in front of your partner
Shedding tears, unless it’s tears of joy, is mostly associated with weakness and no one wants to be seen as weak. Being able to cry in front of your partner means that you are letting them see your weak side, basically opening up to them.
Farting
Letting off a stinky in the presence of your partner is one embarrassing thing that is only for the brave.
This is ‘thee’ definition of comfort.
‘Baby your breath is not ayoba’
Having the confidence to tell your partner that their breath is smelly is also considered one of the signs of reaching the comfort zone.
Finishing off each other’s sentences
This says that you know each other so well that you are able to tell what your significant other is thinking.
Talking freely about ex-partners
Being able to share all the juicy details about past relationships without fighting is one of the signs of comfort zone.
It is usually hard to just share what happened in your past relationships since your partner can either think you miss what you had and that you are not currently happy.
Giving your partner your house keys
When giving your partner your house keys, what you are saying is that they can come into your space at any given time; sometimes without notifying you.
This means your partner can find you naked, sleeping or bathing.
Here are other signs appearing in the top 30:
1. Not wearing make-up
2. Not locking the bathroom door
3. Wearing pyjamas/lounge wear
4. Breaking wind in front of them
5. Not shaving your legs/face
6. Wearing your less attractive/non-matching underwear
7. Doing his/her laundry
8. Going to the toilet with the door open
9. Confiding in them over health concerns
10. Letting them look after you when you're ill
11. You don't mind crying in front of them
12. Taking calls/visits from their family
13. 'Letting yourself go' without worrying about it
14. Laughing when they take the mickey out of you
15. Letting them have house keys
16. Happy to have a conversation while naked
17. Knowing their views on marriage and kids
18. Telling them when they need a mint/deodorant
19. Shaving in front of them
20. Asking them to squeeze a spot/pluck a hair
21. Not fretting at the prospect of being in swimwear in front of them
22. Showering together
23. Going clothes shopping together
24. Making their lunch to take to work
25. Answering their phone
26. Leaving clothes at each other's houses
27. Telling them your hang-ups
28. Finishing each other's sentences
29. Calling them by a pet name
