Love and dating may not be all romance and roses, but it's definitely nice to have someone special in your life - especially during the crazy times we're experiencing right now. These relatable relationship memes for the committed cover all the bases: sappiness, the occasional neediness, and wholesome shout outs to people who are unafraid to express their feelings.

Want to feel like absolute shit about love in a digital world? Well, cartoonist Tommy Siegel has some cartoons for you! He's taken Necco's (RIP) classic conversation hearts and put a seriously dark spin on the Valentine's confection. Instead of cutesy messages, he uses the hearts as to convey some seriously depression truths about dating, relationships, and marriage. And somehow, we can't get enough of his dark work. If you like what you see here, give the dude a follow on Instagram. He deserves it.
While we're happy for all anyone who has had a "successful" friends with benefits situation, but in our experience someone almost always gets hurt. The current climate is an especially weird time for "no-strings attached" lovers. While some people are going months without seeing their sexual partners, others have instead decided to shack up for quarantine. This r/relationships post (since deleted) deals with the latter. After a couple years of being sexually involved, and finally after quarantining with her, this guy has started to catch feelings. The confused dude took to Reddit to express his conflicted feelings, and after the post was shared on Twitter, many users decided to share their two cents. While we think it is rotten to string someone along, it's important to remember these people are in their early twenties. It's normal for a 21 year old to be somewhat immature in love. We're just glad he seems to be wising up emotionally.
Every now and then we witness something or hear a story that crushes our pessimism and makes us believe that true love is real. Rosey Blair was on a flight home with her partner when she bore witness to one of these exact situations. And lucky for everyone at home, she live-tweeted the entire, nauseatingly cute experiences.
We know goth sh*t is pretty en vogue right now, what with everyone getting witchy and wearing harnesses and chokers. This fad has seeped into the meme world, so there's no shortage of funny tidbits boasting dark humor and a whole lot of black clothing. These memes might help you get your fix of darkness without having to face the teenage hordes at Hot Topic.
Communication is truly the most important part of a relationship. The way you speak to your partner will certainly make or break a partnership. The texts, while all pretty hilarious, give you a little bit of both sides of the spectrum. These texts exist to remind you of what to say and what you should never, EVER, ever say. If you like these textual tidbits, give @weshouldbreakup a follow on Instagram. Their account is perfect.
We know we have a tendency to put out content that's self-deprecating, depressing and nihilistic. But we know that there are people out there who can appreciate these relationship comics. In this gallery you can expect to find a lot of sap, some realistic relationship humor, and even a fart joke or two. We'd reckon even the singles can enjoy this one.
As more people feel comfortable coming out as trans, there seems to be more discussion regarding the proper way to handle a person's transition. Are you re-meeting? Is it awkward to ask for a new name? Should it be acknowledged at all? Twitter user and musician Mel Stone managed to tackle this issue by sharing a very sweet story about being accepted by her Indian takeout guy. The story prompted other people to share their own heartwarming transition acceptance stories, and it's brought up a whole lot of happy-cry feels on this beautiful Monday. We've included some of our favorite tidbits from the thread, but you can take in more of the wholesomeness right here.
You thought the sappy content was over because Valentine's Day has come and gone? You were wrong. But there's more than saccharine relationship memes in this gallery. This gallery is a shout out to the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of being coupled up. It's not always (and sometimes never) rose petals and chocolates. It's more like, minor grudges, eating dinner in silence on the couch, juggling two families worth of plans and sometimes just being happy to get a few minutes alone. These memes represent that real kind of love that is kind of hard to convey in a pink card.
As 2019 comes to a close we find ourselves dwelling on the things that went wrong, and the ways we let ourselves and others down. Being self aware is definitely important, but it's also imperative that we not beat ourselves up. It's important to look back on all the good things that happened this year, whether they benefited us, the world, or just another person in need. These memes, tweets, and posts are all great reminders that the year wasn't a wash.
All relationships have their ups and downs. While your partner may provide you with unending emotional support, they may also provide you with constant roasting or eat all your leftovers. That's why it's important to laugh about the idiosyncrasies of being committed. It's not always a walk in the park, but hopefully your relationship isn't ever boring.
We really didn't think we'd be seeing a meme from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 in 2019, but hey, anything is possible. This particular meme is actually incredibly wholesome. The image is character Earl Devereaux saying "It's enough to make a grown man cry," and memers are combining the image with incredibly wholesome content that, well, makes you want to cry. They're fantastic memes, but a bit dangerous while pmsing, so proceed with caution.
Y'all ready for a little holiday season tearjerker? While this wasn't the best hormonal read in the world, it's definitely nice to read something heartwarming in the midst of life's craziness. This feels-inducing Twitter thread comes to us courtesy of writer and historian @garius. His tale of a grieving widow's connection to the tube announcements has gone viral - and with good reason. It's a refreshing and emotional reminder that people really do care for one another. You're going to need tissues.
