Sometimes the best parts of a relationship are the little things.

It's not all about big romantic gestures and declarations of love… the strongest couples know that a solid relationship is one where both parties support each other and work as a team. Of course, it helps if your partner just so happens to also be your best pal.

Here are a few signs that you two are definitely living the dream…

1. He's the first person you text or call when anything big happens
Or, let's face it, when anything happens. Which means lots of "OMG ANSWER THE PHOOOONE I HAVE THE BEST JOKE FOR YOU" texts.

 

2. You always know who to turn to for advice
And he knows there's only one correct answer to "Does my bum look huge in this?"

 

3. It's really annoying when you fight because for once you can't complain to him
Who are you going to vent to now?

 

4. Any time you're around friends you spend half your conversation explaining your in-jokes
Expect lots of blank stares in response.

 

5. You two can laugh for hours over nothing
You stop for two seconds only to catch each other's eye and start again

 

6. You have the biggest fights over the smallest things
You know he'd NEVER cheat, but you highly suspect he is lying about eating the last chocolate Digestive.

 

7. Being gross around each other is just normal these days
Peeing with the door open, attacking his ingrown hairs, squealing with joy when he has a spot that's ready to be squeezed… the list goes on.

 

8. You gave up the "I'm flawless" illusion long ago
Shaving your legs every day is just waaay too much effort, sorry.

 

9. Every time you try to take a "cute" couple selfie it ends up with you two acting the complete maggot
Another one for the family album.

 

10. You count yourself lucky to have a partner who you actually get a kick out of spending time with
You love him AND you like him. Win.
