1. If you're both equally patriotic, it can sometimes cause problems.
It can be hard being in a relationship with an English when you're Scottish 🔵⚪️🔵
Who would've thought national identity could be such a mood killer?
2. Especially when it comes to food, like sausages.
3. Porridge can also lead to a heated discussion.
4. Going to the chip shop reveals your true colours.
5. And don't even get me started on bread.
6. That being said, you're open to being educated in your other half's national delicacies.
7. Despite both speaking English, some language barriers still exist.
8. And you're both always trying to mimic each other's accent.
7months into the relationship. And I still mimic the way my boyfriend says things im his scottish accent. Still makes him embarrassed.
Just when you think you're getting it, your S.O. will still insist they "don't sound anything like that".
9. You couldn't help feeling a bit like Romeo and Juliet during the Independence Referendum.
10. But when it comes to football and rugby, watching your national teams play each other is intense.
11. English folks will never understand their Scottish S.O.'s undying love for Irn-Bru.
12. Watching Braveheart together is a bit awkward, but kinda funny.
13. You sometimes feel like you're single-handedly keeping National Rail afloat.
This is pretty much what a long distance relationship looks like...
And let's not even get started on the Wi-Fi (or lack thereof).
14. And your Two Together railcard is essentially a marriage certificate.
Who says romance is dead? Thank god for @nationalrailenq keeping the spark alive. #twotogetherrailcard #bigsteps
And getting a 1/3 off train fares means you might be able to stay in a semi-decent hotel this time.
15. So you know the route to your S.O.'s place like the back of your hand.
16. Even though you're sometimes delayed because, lo and behold, THERE'S A GODDAMN COW ON THE TRAIN TRACKS.
17. You were understandably outraged when Redspottedhanky.com introduced a booking fee.
18. And because you spend so much money on seeing each other, holidays abroad aren't really an option.
19. People are often disappointed by the story of how you got together.
20. And meeting the parents for the first time was particularly nerve wracking.
21. Not least because your S.O.'s family often ask stereotype-fueled questions.
Stop trying to make deep fried Mars Bars happen- it's not going to happen.
No, the weather does not get any less rubbish the further south you go. This is Britain, remember?
22. When it comes to wedding talk, you've agreed to compromise on tartan and ceilidh dancing.
23. But if someone makes one more joke about Gretna Green...
24. You both celebrate NYE very differently.
25. While the distance is difficult, you appreciate your S.O. isn't exactly on the other side of the world.
26. And, despite everything, you wouldn't change them for the world.
' English fuck tard ' ' Scottish cunt fuck ' My mum and dad have a loving relationship honestly
If anything, your differences just make things more interesting.
