How do you know when the relationship is official?

Well. Sh*t changes. Farting in front of you is a simple tell-tale sign that someone is done trying to make a good impression. But there are more insidious milestones to know when the relationship is official. Like infidelity. The grim realization that you are both humans with the potential to be attracted to others. That your exclusive monogamy was more of a manufactured choice than a natural desire. And when the weirder signs that it’s ‘official’ start popping up, you can either repeat repeat the cycle with someone else or hope that open, honest communication can help you adapt to the layers of your partner that you’d never thought you’d see.
