These 18 illustrations show what bedtime really looks like in a long-term relationship

The longer you are together, the more comfortable you feel with your partner. Once a few years have passed, the quirky and weird part of you can be out in the open. You fear nothing because you know that your partner won't judge you, no matter what. You can be uniquely weird together. Every couple develops their own boundaries. For some, making sex jokes with each other is funny, and for some being brutally honest about each other's physicality is okay. No matter what category you fall into, you two have a shared language, through body gestures and words, that is accepted.

You develop your own rituals that can seem strange to others but entirely natural to you. Whether you're washing dishes or going to sleep, every family has its unique way of doing things. This couple, Kellie and Pete, who is an artist, with their toddler Poppy, have their own comfortable space. They say and do things that many long-term couples might relate to. First and foremost, they keep the humor alive in their relationship. Whether they're in bed or just going about daily chores, the things they say to each other are the kind of funny only those who have been with their partner for years will understand.
