4. Tracking Periods
Periods aren’t gross but can be awkward in some situations. Never a bad topic to discuss though, once he knows your cycle he will always surprise you with chocolates and ice cream on those terrible cramp days.
5. Sharing Clothes
Remember the time you spilled red wine on your dress and had to borrow his shirt? Or when you got cold and stole his hoodie? As romantic as it is, it can get a little awkward too, always aww-worthy though.
