Expressing love and gratitude towards your long-term partner can be hard. But we all know it's important to let your partner how much you appreciate them. I started drawing comics for my boyfriend, now husband, when we first started dating. I didn't like saying cheesy things so drawing comics was my way of showing him I cared. I've portrayed myself as a bunny, Ju, and my husband a monkey, Ja, because he has long lanky arms.  

I illustrate little moments of our lives together, the moments that make me laugh, make me cry, make my heart feel full. By doing so, it allows me to reflect our life together and appreciate the small, but special times we share. 

I started posting my comics on Instagram and Facebook and it brings me so much joy to see others share them with their significant others. If I can make someone smile with my comic every day, it's worth all the effort I put into making them.

    We have 2 dogs and 3 cats. It is not unheard of for all of them to lie on him when he stretches out on the sofa watching TV. Despite two of the cats not liking the dogs or other cat, they will suck it up to get attention from him. 💕💕

    Just because you aren't doing something doesn't mean you're killing off valuable time, it could be very beneficial for your mental health if you allow yourself to zone out every once in a while.

    I'm scared of heights (well, falling off them really) but do these things as my husband loves going up and down mountains! I only do the easy routes generally but while climbing up a steep bit that was just meant to be a walk 🙄 I focussed very, very intently on the bit in front of me (don't look down, DON'T look down) and hit my head hard on an overhanging rock above me. 🤕

    Most guys were (and still are, though not as much) raised with the only way to express love/pride is by doing something useful. But people in general need to feel needed. So people-hack, find little things to ask for help with that make them feel needed.

    The reason why fellow girls do this is that when you're with your girlfriends, it's all about the girl power. When you're with a guy who, by the definition of your relationship, is supposed to help you, it's ok to let him.

    Over-salted food? Time to learn campfire cooking & skip the freeze dried stuff! I'm a big fan of cast iron, though not for full on backpacking. (look up Chef Corso on YT for really great backpacking stove meal options)

    Surely these days there are a lot of men doing the cooking and the women taking them out for dinner! EDIT: Argh!! Sorry, forgot I was reading about someone's life there for a moment and not a more general piece on society. My bad. My husband is home and keeps distracting me from Bored Panda.

    We can't because then we will fret about not giving them tons of attention. If we get familiar with the person and they have a personality where they will just be friends with everybody but respect people's personal space some of us would probably be more open.
