Big-budget Hollywood movies and polished Instagram feeds might give you the impression that romantic relationships have to be perfect and only exist with cute couples. Well, they can't. And when you let go of the popular obsession with unachievable idealistic love, impossible relationship advice to you allow room for your perfectly imperfect long term relationship to blossom.
To highlight this point, Bored Panda has made some cute drawings to illustrate the differences between what's usually expected of romantic moments and their true forms. From snacking in bed to sleeping poses and beyond, the outcome of your attempt to create something special doesn't matter, it's what you make of it that does. And there's no better person to make the best of the mundane than your significant other. Scroll down to check out the expectations vs reality fun comics and fire up our other original funny comics series once you're done (21 Ways Your Life Changes From Your 20s To Your 30s, 20 Brutally Honest Comics That Show How Your Life Changes After Having Kids).

YES. My hair's literally EVERYWHERE. My bf recently told me he's happy I have so much hair, or I'd be bold by now!

Much worse then watching alone (the other can simply also watch later) is to continue with a computer game that you jointly played!

I think there's an Easter egg in all of these. Fun to look for.

I can understand the overall concept of these comics Expectation vs. reality. But who the hell has the expectation of other one to cheat?
Meowton Mewsk 7 years ago
Lmao I thought the same. But I think it means the expectation of what cheating IS. Not that you expect it to happen.

It's so hard to rewatch an episode and fake watch again as if it was for the first time. Hahaha

I'll take him watching some stupid TV show over him screwing other women any day.

I watch it in advance without her knowing because when she watches, there will be a lot of questions. It pays to be prepared for war.
Amanda Panda 7 years ago
YES! These fools do not understand this. This is the worst kind of cheating. LOOK. MuthaF***a! We only BOTH like 3 shows. You will watch them WITH ME, or not at all!

What I cannot bear most is that he is watching some pics of beatiful girls, seeming all dainty and unseen~

Yeah that’s not cool, he shouldn’t be doing that if he’s only interested in you.

Didn't really pay much attention to the comics, just finding the hidden pandas. Some were like a crack in the sidewalk, some hit me like a brick.

Are these really "expectations" vs "reality"? I feel like all of the above situations are in fact all of the possible shades of every single relationship.

Wow. This is the very only elaborate comment I could find in this topic. Everyone else must have a simple, but really awful life.

I didn't even focus on the comics (having never been in a relationship), but instead was looking for the hidden pandas. Some of them were pretty hard to spot, nice job!

Nice to see the inclusion (two, at least) of same-sex couples. Thank you for that. Now, as for the ubiquitous Game of Thrones reference ...
