25 Candid Illustrations Showing The Unfiltered Side Of Long-Term Relationships

Gone are the days of romanticized and idealized relationships depicted in fairy tales or Hollywood films. In reality, love is often messier, less glamorous, but no less beautiful. Behind closed doors, relationships are made up of everyday moments of laughter, tears, and everything in between.

Artist Amanda Oleander captures the essence of true love in her lighthearted illustrations. From the mundane acts of pimple popping and going pants-free to the emotional moments of crying together, Oleander highlights the little things that make relationships so special. These illustrations show that love can be found in the most unexpected places and that it’s important to appreciate the small moments of joy in life.

In a world where social media often showcases perfect and polished relationships, it’s refreshing to see a raw and honest portrayal of love. Love in real life may not always be easy, but it’s the imperfections and quirks that make it so unique and worth cherishing.
