marriage

These relationships are goals AF.

This selection of tweets, memes, and pics is for anyone who is having a bad day or needs a little pick-me-up. Sometimes when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel you need a little bit of warmth and perspective.

Neither dating nor being in a relationship is always a walk in the park. While hopefully a partnership provides you with intimacy, friendship, and (most importantly) attention - there are almost always little squabbles or partner-specific tics that might irk you. We think it's important to laugh about that kind of stuff instead of dwell on it, and based on this Twitter meme from the last week, other people seem to agree. 

The tweets follow a format that states "A relationship is 50/50," which is then followed by a an astute dating observation or a sarcastic joke. While some dudes (and ladies) are using the format to talk up their dating styles, most people are using the meme to poke fun at our slightly toxic tendencies. And we're totally here for it.

It may technically be the middle of the week, but dear lord does it feel like we've been doing the 9-5 thing for an eternity. To help combat your woes, we've put together this mix of triggeringly relatable memes and shitposts. It's said that laughter is the best medicine, and while these memes may not elicit a guffaw, they could inspire a light chuckle. 

It's easy to laugh at pretty much anything on TikTok, especially anything involving relationships. But thanks to this garbage fire of a year, we're a little more accepting of cringe when it somehow manages to give us hope. TikTok user @liltransboykai shared a video that fits the bill yesterday - a clip of his coworker Willow proposing to his partner Akira. The whole thing goes down at work, which for these three happens to be a McDonald's. The video eventually made its way to Twitter, where users both mocked and praised it with a heavy dose of predictable sass. Though we enjoyed the laugh, we wish these two a happy future. 

Holy mother of entitled a-holes, y'all! 

We don't like stereotyping people, but we all know the classic trope of the "bridezilla" who has to have everything her way and will stop at absolutely nothing to get it. To an extent, we sort of understand that behavior - planning a wedding is an incredibly stressful thing after all. However, this insane bride took the whole "entitled" thing waaay too far. It's really no surprise that she's on her third marriage!

Some people idealize their significant others. They put their lovers on a pedestal, convince themselves that their beloved can do no wrong. These anecdotes come from people who can no longer do that. These anecdotes are from people who were given irrefutable proof that their partner's might have a screw loose or very little common sense - but they love 'em anyway. Brace yourself: stupidity is coming. 

If you've ever dated or married a sleep walker or talker, you know that nights can be anything but boring. Reddit user u/hoeka_mos made this extra clear after asking the r/AskReddit if the partners of weird sleepers had any wild stories to tell. The community came through with some incredibly entertaining tidbits that make us wonder if our sleep cycles could survive such excitement. Here are our favorites.  

Married life isn't always what it's cracked up to be. While it's great to have the undying love and support of your spouse, there are also instances of grating annoyances and rage-inducing behaviors.  These memes really say it all.

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. And if you're in a mood for a laugh have a look at these funny relationship memes that even single people might relate to.

Listen. We get it. Things are pretty tough right now. We've all got cabin fever and are extremely tired of seeing everyone and their mom share pictures of the sourdough starters and banana bread. But. Looking at Twitter, and all its wonderfully relatable self-deprecating gems, we're definitely not alone. We're sure there's a tweet or two in here that you relate to. And if not? Well, you just occupied yourself for about five minutes. Congratulations.

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. 

It's hard enough to keep one person alive and happy, yet here we humans are, pledging to help keep another poor soul happy in sickness and in health. While marriage supposedly has its romantic perks, there are a whole lot of un-sexy aspects to holy matrimony. That's what these memes are all about.

Relationships and marriages certainly have their ups and downs. Along with the intimacy and friendship come stupid fights and a lot of sass. There's also some hilarious inside jokes and those stereotypes we all pretend aren't true. These tweets definitely paint a pretty accurate picture of the glamour.
