Everyone loves a good spooning session. For those of you who somehow have yet to have heard of spooning, Urban Dictionary defines it as "a form of cuddling in which the taller person (generally the dude) lies facing the same direction as the shorter person (generally the lady) and wraps their arms around the waist from the back, fitting together like spoons." It's a cute, low-maintenance way to show affection in a relationship - or just a post-sex activity. Whether you're little spoon or big spoon, it's generally welcomed as a jolly good time for all parties involved. Whether they're super single or super in love, the people of Twitter weighed in on the rules of spooning with their own thoughts. Scroll down for this week's funny spooning tweets.

We all know that one crazy couple that takes things way out of hand in front of single innocent bystanders who have no idea how to respond. Relationships can be intense, and some couples can take it way too far. As the wise Taylor Swift once sang, "it'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar." People have taken to Twitter to share how far couples have gone in getting revenge, and of course, it's hilarious. Scroll down for some top-notch couple revenge tweets.
It's almost Valentine's Day, and I'm getting ready for my yearly tradition: a scented bath, a bottle of vintage wine, feeding my crows and preparing the effigy of Clark Gable which I will burn in a forest with the rest of my coven as the clock strikes midnight and the spectre of St. Valentine bids us farewell. This is what we must do every year, as it is written. But recently I can't help wondering about the couple across the hall from my apartment. Charlotte and Mark have lived across from me for a few years now, and they're pretty nice and clearly in love, but they have some WEIRD traditions. I'm talking sh*t that you only see in movies, like going to the store to buy food instead of summoning it from the great beyond, or using electricity instead of lighting candles. Who doesn't use candles?? Anyway, I've just been thinking about all the crazy stuff they probably do for Valentine's day. Like…
I don't know about you, but whenever I hear that a TV couple dated in real life, it changes the entire watching experience for me. The kisses aren't just 'on-screen' kisses. Their fights feel more real. Don't even get me started on the cheating scandals. Suddenly their TV relationship carries ten times more weight, and they will be ruthlessly shipped both on and off-screen until the viewers see wedding bells.
This is our relationship too now, sorry to be the one to break it to you.
If you're in a relationship, then you'll remember the honeymoon phase all too well. Those weeks (or months if you were lucky) at the beginning of the relationship, where you were blinded by love and your partner could do no wrong. But pretty quickly, you probably went from worshipping the ground they walk on to wanting to kill them for the way they breathe. Or blink. Or sit quietly and exist. If you can relate to this, then these tweets about the 'illogical' reasons people got mad at their partners will hit you at all levels.
Third-wheeling is every single person's nightmare. We've all been there, begrudgingly agreeing to hang out with a couple, on the promise from them that it won't be awkward. You know they're lying, but you go against your better judgment and hope for the best. But, all too soon, you're hit with that all-too-familiar feeling of feeling like you're cramping their style. These pictures of people third-wheeling will make you feel all sorts of uncomfortable, making you realize that two is company, but three truly is a crowd.
Picture the scene: you're in the car with your partner, on your way to a party. You're in a fight; the ignoring each other, hating each other's guts type of fight. You're seething. You want to kill him. The sound of his breathing is making you want to throw yourself out of the car. He will be sleeping on the couch tonight. Before you know it, you've arrived at your destination, and you realize, in horror, that it's time to get out. You say goodbye to the bliss of sitting there in awkward silence and compose yourself, ready to be sociable with other humans. As you walk to the front door of wherever it is you're going, you bask in the last 30 seconds of silence. You ring the doorbell, plaster on a fake smile, and play the happy couple shtik for the rest of the evening. That is until you get back in the car, where you can ignore each other again. Daniella London Dekel captures this utterly relatable moment that all couples go through in this funny comic.
Losing your virginity is a big deal. Everyone imagines their first time having sex being a magical experience with someone they love. Unfortunately, Hollywood has painted an unrealistic picture of what it looks like to lose your virginity. For most people, their reality is quite different and consists of awkwardly fumbling for a condom, struggling to put it on, and when they finally manage, the whole thing is over within a matter of minutes (if that). People on Reddit revealed all the dirty, awkward, and surprising things that they discovered after the first time they had sex. These sound like more realistic versions of what losing your virginity is like—speaking for a friend, of course.

Although there is still some stigma around seeing a marriage counselor with your partner, if things aren't going so well in the relationship, thankfully, this idea is slowly changing. Marriage counseling is becoming normalized, with more and more couples seeking the help of a therapist to assist them in navigating troubles in their marriages. Because let's be honest, marriage isn't always easy and sometimes, we need all the help we can get. But some couples see marriage counselors for the strangest reasons, and now, we have the lowdown from therapists themselves. A Reddit thread asked marriage counselors for the stupidest reason a couple has made an appointment, and the answers prove how some relationships were doomed to fail from the start.
Relationships aren't what they used to be. Somehow TV love seemed purer back in the '90s; something that was longer-lasting. I guess that's because there wasn't Tinder back then to screw everything up. As Valentine's Day approaches, let's use this Throwback Thursday to cast our minds back to a time when sitcoms showed true and lasting love in all its glory.
