10 Things You Can Do At The 3 Months Relationship Mark

The 3 months relationship marks are so awesome, aren’t they? It is the perfect stage, like a baby being nine months. A time of bliss, you aren’t feeling awkward and timid, or working so damn hard to look good all the time. You’re finally able just to sit back and enjoy the ride, right?

Well, maybe not exactly bliss, there are some things that you might have to forego when you get to the 3 months relationship mark, like infatuation and texting every moment of the day. But, what you gain is the right to slowly let the crazy out of the bag. Now, you might be sitting there pretending that you don’t know what I am talking about… but we all do.

Most people hide things from our significant other when we are first getting to know each other so that we don’t scare the other person off. But, the 3 months relationship mark is where you get to let you be you, and let me be me.

It is also a time when you can stop worrying about scaring them off with talking about the future or asking for what you want. If they haven’t left by now, you are probably worth sticking around for.

# Wear your cotton underwear

Forego the Victoria Secret panties every day and wear something a little more comfortable. Holes are still not okay, but satin is no longer a “must.”

# Text when you feel like it

At the beginning of a relationship, you don’t want to seem too eager, which puts all sorts of constraints and rules on your communication.

After the 3 months relationship mark, all bets are off. It is okay if they know that you like them that much and vice versa – you are all settled into it and can stop holding yourself back when you want to say “hey.”

# Be grumpy if you want

You don’t have to put on a smile every time they are around. After three months, it is okay to let the less than happy person out of the closet and allow yourself to have real emotions. Better yet, if you are crabby, be crabby. That is what a relationship is about, peaks and valleys.

# Use the words “us” and “we” and not shrink a little

Before the 3 months relationship mark, you are on probation, which means that talking about the future is like mentioning “Voldemort.” Once you pass the three-month point, you can start to use defining words like “us” and “we.”

# Introduce them to your crazy ass family

We all have crazy in our family, they are the people that we keep from someone we like out of fear. It is okay to let the lesser of your genetic pool come out and take them to a family gathering where the extended family will be. The best part about it is that you have someone else to make fun of them with you.

# Go out with the girls or guys without fear

At first, you just want to be together every minute of the day. After about two months, you kind of miss your friends, but are afraid to say so. The 3 months relationship mark is when it is okay to rejoin society without making the other person feel bad or left out.

# Don’t put makeup on if you don’t want to

You don’t have to take one layer of makeup off to put on another or jump out of bed before he does to fix your face. Lay around on Saturday without any makeup at all if that is what you want.

# Watch your quirky shows

Whether it is a man drama or the history channel, or lifetime or BET, you can watch your quirky shows, even when they are around. Hell, at the 3 months relationship mark, you can even show them that you’ve been DVR-ing them.

# Stay in on a Friday night

You have already showed them what a fun person you are, it is okay to let the nerd who wants to stay in on a Friday out the bag. It is totally acceptable to admit you just want to settle in on the couch and not feel bad about it. Once more, if they want to go out, you can be okay with letting them go alone.

# Eat dessert

Stop saying “I can’t eat one more bite” and order whatever you want for dessert. You don’t have to hold back on who you are and what you want anymore, you can just be “you.”
