Hello! I’m Mary, a comic artist and illustrator from Bucharest, Romania. During these years I have illustrated a lot of comics about being in a relationship, so I decided to share with you some of them!

I hope you like my work and hopefully, you can find yourself in some of the situations. Let me know in the comments if you can relate!

I love to sit on the beach with my best friend and watch the sea with him, just to be there, we talk, we don’t talk, we are, the simple pleasure of the presence of the other.

This isnt saying to always be silent. Its saying that your comfortable with each other when there IS silence. Big difference. If you cant talk to each other then you shouldn't be together either

    I wish I was. At least the house will be clean. But really it's training at a young age. We all need that. You never know when you need that, how you will end up. Plus,it's good exercise for homebodies.

    But different relationships have different balances too.👍 So we can all take a deep breath and except that some woman do all the household chores while the men work, and vice versa, and some people do this. I love it when everything makes sense. 😊 Couples can work at their fair systems.

    I can't say how true this is. My mother almost died from dehydration in Target. Luckily I was able to run and buy Gatorade for her to drink up. Then get her to an ER clinic who put her on IV for a while. My dad and sister both had ER trips do to dehydration. All the signs are in the comic. Its funny because its true. Get your H2O and electrolytes!

    To be fair, lifting strength is a totally different application of muscles than twisting strength. I can pretty easily lift most heavy stuff, but a factory-sealed jar lid is often just absurdly tight enough that I need help getting it open.

    The point is that we all could use some help sometimes. "Strong independent woman" is just some b******t mindset that ruins society. I'd even bet it was thought by some toxic males so women would quit nagging them.

    Changing a lightbulb should not be something you "need" a man for. Stepladders exist for a reason if your height is an issue. Also, LED lightbulbs don't need to be changed as often.

    She likes detailed plans; I build a framework that can be fleshed out on the fly. Before longer trips, I may review literally hundreds of entries about hotels, local sights and restaurants for a major city visit. Create a budget. We arrive and then she crafts a daily schedule. It's worked for almost 20 years.

    That stuff takes a lot of planning... I used to be like him until we'd gone on a few sucky outings where neither of us had thought it through. You need to set aside money for meals/shopping, or else pack a lunch for the day (if the parks even allow it), you need to source and pack water for walking around (or spend more money on soda refills), you need to go early enough to get good parking and/or beat the heat of the day, you need to arrange childcare or a pet sitter, you need to make sure you're both off of work that day (or if not, whether you'll be off early enough to still go).... Being an adult means you have to manage these things for yourself, instead of your parents (let's be real here - your mom) managing it for you. She's stepping up. He's....not. And you watch: when she forgets something he wanted (like his sunscreen or his phone charger) he'll get mad at her for not remembering to pack it, when he could have helped with the packing/planning from the beginning...
