Suddenly life is no longer a bed of roses. The sweet fragrance of flowers are reminding you of the thorns as well. The initial period of euphoria and happiness when you just could not seem to get enough of each other’s company seems to have come to a brutal end.

Now his feet on the bed pisses you off and you can’t bear to be in that junk yard he calls his room. You have finally woken up to the fact that you hate being kept waiting while she spends umpteen hours getting dressed. Here are 10 reasons which will point out that your honeymoon period has ceased to exist.

It’s time to rethink how you want to bring back that zing in your romance.

1 Then: Even though he sounded like Altaf Raja, on an exceptionally bad day, you still thought his efforts to sing were pretty commendable.

Now: When you are dying to catch a couple of winks that yowling in the shower just doesn’t sound cute anymore.

2Then: Clothes all over the room meant that a certain level of comfort had been reached in the relationship.

Now: Come on, you hate waking up in a pig sty. Those boxers on the floor are just screaming to be thrown into the dustbin.

3Then: You fell in love with his sexy exuberance and fun side of being able to chill out with anyone, anywhere and anytime.

Now: When you are out partying it’s such a pain to see him on a hectic socialising spree, ALL the time.

4Then: You were super accommodating about the other person’s choice of TV.

Despite your strong dislike for cricket or action movies you still sat through hours and missed the latest episode of Desperate Housewives.

Now: The one recurring fight, like a bad dream, is over the remote control.

5Then: The number of times you ditched your buddies just to sit at home and coochie coo.

Now: “Sorry honey, I really, really need to meet so-and-so” seems to be an oft-repeated refrain every Friday night.

6Then: While clubbing, you would dress up and ooze sex appeal just to see that ‘wow’ look on his face.

Now: You really don’t like to be super-uncomfortable in those 6-inch stilettos and make do just fine in a pair of comfy jeans and a tee.

7Then: The only reason you tolerated her pesky, annoying 5-year-old niece or nephew was because of your better half.

Now: You don’t think twice before snapping at the little devil’s incessant pestering and have a long list of excuses to avoid baby sitting.

8Then: All the concern about where you’ve been and what your last meal was, seemed completely heart warming.

Now: Now you feel like you’re being stalked by the mafia 24/7.

9Then: Silky smooth legs and no stubble preceded every meeting with him.
Now: Who has those precious two hours to go and get spruced up every couple of weeks? Once a month works perfectly fine!

10Then: You wouldn’t be caught dead without sexy lingerie or cool boxers on.

Now: Sure they’ve got holes in them, they look like granny’s undies and those shorts look like your pet dogs have attacked it. But comfort over oomph any day! You don’t have to love everything about your partner. But you should be willing to put the good and the bad into perspective when it comes to accepting him/her. Sure he may be able to annoy the hell out of you, but remember that you can be just, if not more, annoying as well.
