Here at Huff/Post 50, we know a thing or two about being with the same person for a long, long time. We've written about the highs, the indescribable love and boundless support, and we've written about the lows, peeing with the door open and walking around braless.
But 'tis the season of love and romance and we couldn't help but think of all of the struggles every long-term couple has that younger couples just won't get.
From getting a little too comfortable with each other, to morphing into one another, to almost forgetting each other, here are some real-life struggles of people who've been together a long, long time.
Today is our 14th anniversary.My husband didn't get me an anniversary card.He got me a THANK YOU card. Basically for "putting up with him."
