She meant THE drawer. Every home has one. The place where the useful twice or thrice a year items live. Like tape, batteries, and scissors.

If it makes you feel any better, I once brewed coffee without grinding the beans first.

Which is a coffee shop.

We tend to only show our worst selves when we’re around the people that we love the most. You probably wouldn’t ever break down crying at work or become furious towards an employee in the grocery store. But your parents, siblings and significant other may have witnessed the most extreme sides of your emotions. And if they’re lucky, they might have caught you during your most embarrassing moments as well.

When you’re living with someone, it’s inevitable that they’ll hear you snore or fart or watch you sleep walk during the middle of the night. But thankfully, as this list proves, most people can look past those incidents without them having an impact on how much they love their partner. If you’re truly meant to be, a little melted plastic in the oven won’t tear you apart!

This is the kind of man who simply cuts a toothbrush in half to travel with it instead of just buying a travel sized one.

As hard as you may try to show your partner your best side at all times, it’s impossible to do so when you live together. You might not look stunning rolling out of bed in the morning, but that’s okay! In fact, according to Bustle, there are several “gross” things that everyone should feel comfortable doing in front of their partner.

First up: talking openly about health issues. If last night’s dinner has upset your stomach or you’re feeling extremely bloated while on your period, you should never feel the need to hide that from your significant other. On the same note, we should all accept that bodily functions are natural and nothing to be ashamed of. It may not be polite to burp during dinner, but if a little one slips out, don’t judge your partner. They’re just comfortable around you!

Einstein once said that his second-best idea after the theory of relativity was to boil an egg in the same pot he used to cook soup. Congratulations, now you can humble brag that your girlfriend is on par intellectually with Einstein.

Everyone has some little quirks that they might not necessarily be proud of, but that doesn’t mean that they’ll hinder a relationship at all. Some of the photos on this list show partners who make creative culinary choices, and others make it clear that not everyone knows how to communicate effectively over text. But if you truly love someone, you can look past these little idiosyncrasies and choose to view them all through a humorous lens.

Bustle also notes that couples should feel comfortable grooming in front of one another. There’s no reason to hide anything if you’re meant to be together, so don’t worry about popping that pimple or plucking that chin hair while your significant other is home. And at the same time, you shouldn’t have to worry about brushing your teeth before kissing when you first wake up. A little morning breath never hurt anyone!

Another way couples shouldn’t be scared of showing vulnerability is through expressing their insecurities. You shouldn’t have to worry about being open about the aspects of yourself that you don’t love. In fact, if you do share them, your partner will likely assure you that you have absolutely nothing to be insecure about! This takes trust, but if your relationship is solid, it will only strengthen your bond.

If you feel comfortable with your significant other, you also should not stray away from coming clean about mistakes you’ve made in the past. It might be challenging or painful to talk about them, but being on the same page will allow your relationship to move forward without having to worry about the past. And finally, Bustle notes that couples should always be able to laugh off awkward moments, particularly during intimacy. Whatever happens, don’t forget to have fun!
