Falling in love gets songs, movies and TV shows. Weddings get gifts and people traveling from all over just to witness it. Breaking up gets sympathy, new haircuts, entire playlists and friends who were apparently waiting years to say, “I never liked them anyway.” But what do the people who stay together get? Usually another load of laundry and, if you’re lucky, a golf clap.
We believe long-term love is one of the funniest, hardest, least celebrated and most underrated things two people can do. It isn’t a fairy tale that ends at the wedding. It’s a decades-long inside joke that two people keep choosing to be part of.
Staying Together Club makes funny, comfortable tees inspired by the specific, absurd and endlessly recurring moments of a shared life. Like discovering that there is apparently a wrong way to squeeze the toothpaste. Or making your anniversary the password on your phone so you never forget it. Or leaving the house with your phone at 3%, completely unafraid and wondering why everyone else is panicking. Or mastering the art of leaving a party together without saying goodbye to anybody. Or realizing that the beautiful glass shower you two used to get busy in now has to be squeegeed after every single use. Now you’re butt naked and cold, pressed against the back of the shower, trying not to get squeegee juice on the body you just cleaned. Not. Sexy. At. All.
No spouse-bashing. No jokes about escaping. Just affectionate honesty for couples who know that being annoyed and being in love can happen at exactly the same time.
We’re still here. We’re still choosing each other. And we’re definitely still laughing about it.
