Been together too long...
Over the past 2 years or so, we have had many great ideas for books. Perhaps near the top of the list is a book entitled "You know you've been together too long when...". Basically, the book would be a compilation of observations about a maturing relationship. Hopefully our observations are universal, and can thus be humorously viewed by other couples. Here is a spattering of examples (perhaps we can keep posting these here, so we don't forget them):

You know you've been together too long when...
  • you think that jogging together is a good idea.
  • you start using one laundry basket.
  • on shopping trips together, time is decided beforehand.
  • you share a favorite cocktail (e.g. White Russian).
  • you both know the answer to the question: Where is Nebraska? (In the north)
  • you don´t mind sleeping next to the wall.
  • he stops being bothered by her beauty products in his flat.
  • she buys beauty products for him.
  • she recalls names of parasites in conversation.
  • you make mix CDs for each other and don´t care about the romantic value.
  • you start a blog together.
