15 Signs You & Your Roommate are Basically a Married Couple

Regardless of whether you live together by choice or you were paired up by fate, you and your roommate have become inseparable. The two of you are lucky enough to be roomies and best friends. At this point, you’re so close that you behave like two people in a committed relationship. Here are 15 signs that you and your roommate are basically a married couple.

What’s yours is theirs.

2. You’re past the point of trying to impress one another

You know you can always be yourselves around each other.

Who needs a SO when you have each other?

7. You’re protective
