if you insist on pursuing these unnatural man/woman relationships i guess you've both chosen rather well
Rowan Ellis your lifestyle choice of moving in with us is just as disturbing but I guess we'll just be the uncouth household
GET IN OUR FLAT NOW, ELLIS
Im so confused
Clarisse Boa I was at first 😂
Im confused...
I loved this SO MUCH he’s wonderful and you both are just wonderful *together* xxx
thanks love, your couple video made me a pile o'mush too. xxx
I was a little uncomfortable watching this because it felt so intimate. It was fantastic.
Okay but listening to Craig talk about mental health stuff/hearing you be supportive has literally made me so full of hope because I have never really seen that discussion before and I don't know, it makes me reassured that it is possible to have that sort of dynamic? Anyway I am also really in love with your content at the moment, it is all just on such a consistently high and rad level
also can confirm Leena that you honestly are the same person in real life
😘
3 minutes in and have been grinning ear to ear the whole time
KhanStopMe what happened after the three minutes that stopped you from smiling?
"Chafe your dreams" 😂 This was fantastically fun and Craig's imitations of you are HILARIOUS/spot on hahah
ok. where did u find craig and where can i get one??
I know people talk about relationship goals, but like, really. I would really like to have this level of openness and honesty and just plain comfortableness in my future relationships.
Aw this is really lovely! I'm glad that you're in such a supportive relationship.
Also what I loved (in a kind of petty way) is that growing up I was told that if I were a feminist and held men to a standard of acting like a decent human, that I was being too picky and would never find anyone. Seeing you two call out that bullshit just gave me a lot of joy.
Short snippet that i love "i dont think what you have is bad, its just different" nice to see a supportive relationship
You two are genuinely the loveliest, authentic and non-cheesy #couplegoal impersonated! :)
AMAZING
this is so fucking cute and weird and honest and i love it. im so glad you two found eachother.
also GIVE 👏🏼 US 👏🏼 THE 👏🏼 OSTRICH 👏🏼 STORY 👏🏼
you both look so ridiculously happy and that makes my heart feel so warm :’)
This is so wonderful. I love seeing people just talk and be honest, even though there's a camera on.
You two are so great! While I laughed a lot, “Chafing Your Dreams” really cracked me up because the chafing is real!
Can confirm this fact
"We're like IKEA-shopping for a better life"
How masochist of me is it that I watch this right after a breakup?
Hope you're okay
YES, MORE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP ROLE MODELS, THIS IS GOLD ❤️❤️❤️
Everyone should have a Leena in their life. Loved this! Nice too officially meet you Craig 😊
I’m stupidly grinning the whole way through this is so ADORABLE
Looooooved this not just cuz we finaly kinda get to meet your BF on the channel
But this is the kind of conversation i have with my own boyfriend and friends and i never realized how fascinating it is to listen to the same type of conversation but with other people
That was soooo great loved it please more
YES shout out to supportive relationships that understand & integrate communication and trust into them~ I'm so happy for you guys
You've found such a good egg! You both look so happy!
I immediately need more videos of both of you. This was so sweet
Seeing happy people is the best. Thank you Leena and Craig! 💞
I love THE AND! And you guys!! This was such a sweet tribute. So happy for the two of you.
Thank you so much for this. A real thing involving people who love each other and communicate. Shouldn't be as rare as it does feel.
I really loved the way you look at each other like you really SEE each other
and also I didn’t expect to cry but oh well
this was absolutely lovely in every way
Every second of this warmed my heart so so much
Just caught this on my way home from work and was an absolute delight. You both bounce off of each other in such a wonderful, funny way! Already in love with you guys - more videos together please!
I love this, it's so refreshingly honest. I wish there was more content on CZcams like this!
This video is so so wonderful. I watched a lot of your videos about being single recently and they helped me gain the courage to end a long term relationship that was so not a good fit - it brings me joy to see you guy so joyous both in and out of a relationship. You guys are rad
I don't think I've ever felt such pure joy just by watching two people I don't even know personally. This is so lovely and wonderful. xx
Watched this twice and literally made me smile from start to finish!
It is nice to see a honest unfiltered relationship where you both clearly adore each other and show it in your own way. The way you talk about compromise, liking the way each of you are as individuals because you have each other too is important and are elements of a relationship which are not often spoken about.
I was laughing and so happy throughout this whole video! Such a beautiful and honest and heartfelt union, I wish you a happy life together ❤️❤️❤️
Rewatching this video for the third time since it was posted and it makes me teary every time...I have got into my first serious relationship since the last time I watched and it feels the most like this relationship of any other I have had but watching again is reminding me of things i could improve and inspiring me to improve them! thanks leena your videos always make me think
you two are so smitten with eachother its absolutely adorable to see
This reminds me of the wonderful video that Ash and Grace did together. I’m sure this was super personal to share, but it was a lovely insight and awesome to see the two of you together after watching you both for a long time. Best of luck with everything!
I've always thought the most important thing about a relationship is to like the person you are when you're with them. I love the way that you articulate that Leena! You're proof that it can happen in real life
I found The And from your twitter recommendation and am now OBSESSED so thank you for that and now thank you for this video!! You two are adorable and nothing makes me happier than to see a good healthy relationship 😍
Gosh, this was great. It'd be a lot of fun to see a follow-up on this format like, a year or two from now or something like that. It be such a great look into how relationships change and deepen.
This was absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing this with us!
This was so cute! I remember that video it was like the second video of yours I watched and I started following Craig after watching that video. What Craig said about people rushing their thoughts to what they think they should be doing with their relationship like getting married is so true. I catch myself doing that and have to tell myself to relax and just enjoy my relationship with my boyfriend the way it is because we're happy and still figuring out what we want.
you two really just sound like you work together so well. So happy and comfy with each other and even just bouncing off eachother on camera. I hope one day i find someone i'm that comfy with.
Hope you and Craig last for a long time to come :)
This is such s joy to watch, you exude genuinely, authentic and acceptance of each other 😊 best wishes for the future!
This is so great, I learned a bit about myself and also about my other half watching this. You put the things that I’ve often thought into words 🙌🏻
Also, you’re both great
X
This is the best thing I’ve watched in ages! You two are the absolute loveliest 😍😍😍
You're freaking giving me hope for the future, that maybe I, too, will find someone for my strange self. So, I'm here for like 4th time, soaking the good energy. thanks!
I am crying!!! :-) I love the part where it talks about you being patient with him checking the taps 20 times, or not being able to sleep. I also like the humility of laughing at yourselves for being so happy about your relationship, and acknowledging that you'd still be making artwork, still be getting stuff done, but that it would be sadder. Thank you for sharing :-) Yay, you shared how you met!
getting harder to believe there are kind men like Craig out there :( you two are absolutely wonderful!
This is real relationship goals. I can carry on with my day much happier, now 😍
This is so wholesome, honestly outstanding content
I'm about ten minutes in and this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment with us
I was smiling the whole way through this ☺️💕
So incredibly sweet and so genuine!! So happy for you both ❤️
This is real. Really cool and really real and just like looking into a little window of y'all's relationship--something that's so vulnerable (but not anxious? idk how to explain it, but vulnerable but not fragile) and just real. Thank you Leena and Craig for this snip of a rolling vignette. :)
Thank you for sharing this video!!
Love your content lately (publishing & love, what more could one ask for??)
This video made me even more want to randomly run into you on the streets of london!
which will be hard since I live in Switzerland, but one day it we'll get there!!
You guys have such a good dynamic, love how your conversations flow
If you think THIS flow is good, you should see us when we beatbox and spit bars together
I love you two, You are so fun and compassionate, and lovely to each other.
This was so precious. Thanks, guys
Wow! This is amazing... It feels a bit like a School of Life video.
can't help but say aww! he seems like a good soul, and also has a pretty face :) so happy you're happy. but it also makes me miss someone I once had this with :( xx
i love how this is shot so much
BEST. VIDEO. EVER!!!!!!! Please make more together!!!!!!
This gives me faith that relationships can work 😊
This is just wonderful, I could not stop smiling while watching this! You two seem like the best couple ever and I just want to be best friends with both of you!
OMG I LOVE this! And I love what you said at the end Leena! "It's not just that we're in love. It's that this relationship really suits us." So beautiful!!! You two are so fun to watch together! I loved viewing this so much!!!!!
Just found your channel I'm just binge watching all your content! I love your videos so much. This one in particular reminds me very much of myself and my partner. He also keeps me on the ground a bit and tells me to take some time to relax instead of constantly running towards the next thing to do. You both are such a healthy happy model of a relationship
Grinning ear to ear, loved this so much!!
The editing is amazing 😍
Thank u for being so raw and vulnerable
so so sweet ugh ~ much love to you both
this is so lovely
my single heart is singing
you are two of my fav youtubers and this video made me so happy
Oh my god this was so amazing, you guys are so good together
I'm pretty sure I found Craig's channel when you shouted him out that time!! Lovely video, you two are adorable :)
I love the skin deep and this was amazing!! 💜💜
Oh this is adorable and I’m not even at the end yet but IS CRAIG WEARING DUNGAREES?! 🤩🤩🤩
CAN CONFIRM. LUCY & YAK ones :)
And your DUNGAREES and your lace up boots and your keeyssss (Fun Home Musical Reference, couldn't help it)
"I bought my boyfriend dungarees because Leena's boyfriend wore dungarees."
oh my GOD, he's cute!!
D'awww, you really are great together :) this gives me hope that eventually letting go of the 'single identity' won't be as difficult as i expected :)
"Oh these things are deep rooted and can't be fixed with love...weird!" I LOVE that :)
I watched Leena edit so I am taking half credit
100000% wholesome content!!!
Your answer to what you admire the most about Craig is the exact answer I’d give if I were to answer about my own boyfriend, it’s only now that I’ve heard you putting it into words that I’ve realised how much I love that my boyfriend doesn’t behave with his gender in the forefront of his mind. It’s a relatively new relationship and so completely different to all others I’ve been in, I’ve now realised I was pretty darn miserable in my previous relationships, sacrificing a lot things and trying to change myself. It’s nice to just be yourself with someone! This video made me very happy, big love to you both ❤️ p.s. I can’t wait for my boyfriend to get home from work so I can show him this & then we can have fun answering all the questions too 😊
this felt like finally meeting a good friend's boyfriend and discovering how great he is and how great the two of them are together and it was just REALLY NICE.
ok.. love this video, also LOVE craig's Oh Wonder t-shirt!
Okay so this thing about 'positive' life decisions being more validated by others than 'negative' ones is 100% a thing; thank you for articulating it. Also, I remember that 10 small youtubers vid! Madness.
THIS IS SUCH A GORGEOUS LOVELY VIDEO
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! You both seem like such wonderful people. :)
This is so raw and beautiful and it makes the world better
1. Nice shirt Craig. Such a lovely duo. 2. You two together seem awesome and have an incredibly real relationship that is influenced by your own two pace. Hope to find my other adventurous partner like you two do.
You too have a similar way of speaking, not sure if you've adopted that being in a relationship or because you're just perfect for each other ;)
Loved this.
This was intense and uncomfortable but also comforting and lovely at the same time.
This video gave me faith 💕 you guys are lovely together
Please do this video again. I would love to see if/how your answers have changed over the years :)
I love thisss - I think you should do an updated version ❤ (if you were both comfortable in doing so) x
This was so lovely that it has restored my faith in relationships ^^
Fuck me... My ex did almost nothing and I remember saying thank you to him whenever he did the smallest thing.. Yet I did soo fucking much and I never got a thank you. Hearing Craig and you chat is so beautiful and eye opening, so many things I didn't even realise were wrong or kinda fucked up in my relationships are being veiled to me through this. Much love to you both xx
This was so great to get to know you both a bit more!
This makes me stupidly happy.
P.S Andrew and Keisha from The And have officially ruined all other couples for me.
