How annoying are couples, yeah?
Eating their brunches and walking their dogs all smug like, never bickering over the telly remote. Even if you and your partner are those people, even you make yourselves sick sometimes.
Now, there’s a new term floating around you can use to describe their/your loved-up Insta-filtering ways. Besides that other one that, ahem, rhymes with ‘ick heads’…
It’s called, the ‘Autopilot relationship’. And you might even be in one. Right. Now.
To put it simply, it means always appearing – at least, on the outside – to be completely, inhumanely, 100 per cent chill.
No fighting or problems or the days when you kind of can’t even stand the person you’re with. Just blue skies, and carefully curated social media feeds.
Don’t get us wrong – there’s nothing wrong with wanting to post nice pictures of yourself and your partner, or getting your Instagram husband to take pictures of you in the one spot in your garden that’s not covered in weeds.
There is, however, one big, fat problem with being an autopilot couple all of the time. And it’s got less to do with them, and more to do with us.
