11 Signs Books Are One Of Your Best Relationships

Boyfriends come and go, best friends move away, and family drive you crazy.... but books? Unlike people, books are always reliable, and if you're a reader, than you probably already display all the signs that books are one of the best relationships in your life.

If you're a true bibliophile, than books have a special place in your life. You constantly surround yourself with them, and unlike your romantic partner's crap, you never get mad when you find them laying around the house. You make sure that no matter where you go, you go together, and you always go to bed holding onto a book. Even if you're at work or out with friends, you're mind constantly wanders back to the same thing: books. You just can't help it, they're always on your mind and you miss them when you're apart. Try as you might, but there's no denying it: books are your true love, and one of the best relationships you have.

No matter how great your girl gang is or how wonderful the new love interest in your life may seem, you can't escape the truth — your relationship with them will never be the same as your relationship with your books. Not sure if you believe me? Then here are 11 signs books are one of your best relationships.

1. You Prefer Sleeping With A Book On Your Chest Over A Person.

While your partner hogs the blanket and snores in your ear, books never do that to you. Sure, they may leave lines on your face when you fall asleep reading, but can you really blame the books? You'd much prefer waking up to find yourself surrounded in novels than in your partner's drool.

2. Books Are Always There To Catch Your Tear.

When books make you cry, which they do often, they are also the ones there to catch your tears, and they do it without complaining about how "ugly" you look when you cry.

3. The Bookstore Is Your Regular Date Spot.

If you spend your Friday nights cruising the fiction aisle with a few new books in your arms, then chances are you have a better relationship with books than you do the friends you ditch on weekends to stay home in read. Hey, no judgement here.

4. You Go Everywhere Together.

Whether it's on the train to work, on vacation, or just out to the bar, you and books go everywhere together. You'd never dream of leaving the house without one, unlike your partner who you don't mind leaving behind for some alone time with your new novel.

5. They Give You Butterflies In Your Stomach.

From the romantic speeches to the hot-and-heavy sex scenes, books always find a way to give you all the good feels. Can you still say that about the partner who shamelessly farts in your presence? Yeah, I didn't think so.

6. You Spend A Lot Of Alone Time Together.

You can truly tell if you like someone (okay, something) if you find yourself having a lot of one-on-one time. In the case of books, there's plenty of that.

7. Even Though You See More Than One At Once, No One's Feelings Get Hurt.

Your books understand they aren't the only one, and unlike your romantic partners, they never get jealous when you're juggling multiple books at once. They understand your unquenchable need for good storytelling,and they never judge.

8. No Matter How Much You Yell At Your Books, You're Books Never Yell Back.

You can get as mad at you want at your books for having terrible plot twists or for killing off your favorite characters, but yell as loud as you can, and books will never raise their voice to you. They're here for you, to let you vent, and isn't that what we all want in a relationship?

9. You Can't Get Them Off Of Your Mind.

Whether you're at work or out with friends or even laying around with your partner, you can't help but let your mind wander back to the same thing: books. They're always on your mind. True love? I'd say so.

10. You're Constantly Talking About Them To Friends.

At brunch, when your out shopping, or on a girl's night out, the story is always the same: you cannot shut up about the book you're reading. Whether you're friends asked or not, you can't help but gush over your current selection, and you don't even care if anyone is listening. You won't hide your love, no matter how many eye rolls you get.

11. They Are Always There For You At The End Of The Night.

Because the best relationships are the ones you can count on, always.
