I love this, thank you Lauren! Love is him sticking with me despite me never hanging up the tea towel and always leaving tea bags on the thingie instead of putting them in the bin... Ah, the romance xx

Ahh, but what is a home if not little dried up teabags in corners of the worktop like decorative seedpods? Thanks love xx

>It was Heathrow, the sexiest airport. It’s harder to be in love at Luton.

Now you've got me rating all the airports I've ever flown through! I think Oslo and Vancouver rank pretty high, but Montréal is surprisingly unsexy.

Love this! ❤️ Also - I found the article on Medium, so it does still exist online: https://laurenbravo.medium.com/love-should-be-mundane-everything-i-know-about-long-term-relationships-e4e7a814736

Am I the only one who thought you’d left his bedding plants in the sink?? 😂

I’m currently twenty one years into my relationship, after never previously getting beyond four. I hope the familiarity never shifts to complacency.

I love this and needed it so bad, thank you!

After almost two years together, my partner and I are still crazy in love each other. There’s no anxiety, it feels exciting in a way I didn’t think possible, not for me at least. We want to move in together but are scared, maybe not so much of boredom, but of taking each other for granted.

Reading this was a relief,

we definitely need more stories about what happens after the romantic explosion. Thank you, thank you! ❤️

Thanks for re-sharing this. I missed it at the time and, as someone who’s been in a relationship for 25 years, I always love to read about the joy in the mundane aspects of LTRs ❤️

I never want anyone to know that I fart BUT I’m manifesting the rest. ❤️

I so enjoyed reading this piece Lauren. Thank you from another happy mundane lover!

The bus pole actions are the thing for me. The different kind of safe keeping is what I recognise with my own beloved. The little things that say “i love you” when his mouth rarely does.

Wonderful, Lauren. Glad you still had this on file, to be able to share it with us.
