25 Relationship Memes That Get Progressively Cuter from "Can't Live with 'Em" to "Can't Live without 'Em"

When you first met your partner, it was probably a lot easier to overlook their flaws and bad habits; you probably saw them as cute, little "quirks." However, once you moved in together, their chronic tardiness, laziness, and forgetfulness likely started to feel a lot more grating.

Instead of framing this as a vent on my fiance, I'm actually going to write from his perspective because I can fully admit that I am the one with more problematic habits in the relationship. When we didn't live together, he thought it was kind of cute how forgetful I was. Surprisingly, it wasn't me forgetting our anniversary or forgetting to turn the laundry machine on after loading it that drove him over the edge – it was my habit of never putting the cap back on the toothpaste after using it. This led to baby's first relationship fight! 

Thankfully, we got over it. I'm not sure if I've learned to put the cap back on, or if he's just started doing it himself by instinct. Either way, we both learned that even though we can't really live with each other, we can't live without each other either.
