Some of us lose sight of keeping ourselves up when we are in a stable relationship. We let ourselves go because we feel comfortable with our love. However, this cannot become an excuse. You still need to take care of yourself. These comfortable feelings start to creep into the clothes we wear and our manners. When we first started dating we would never dream of burping or farting in front of our date. So, why does it become okay after we have been together for a certain amount of time. Sure things happen and sometimes it slips, but to purposely let out a burp at the dinner table could get your partner wondering, "Who is this person?" Now, I know your partner is going to see you at your worst, like right when you get up in the morning or when you are sick. However, that shouldn't be the way he/she sees you all the time - sloppy and unkept. Take pride in your appearance and keep trying to impress the one you love.
