Being in a relationship with someone you love is one of the most wonderful things you can ever experience, but how can you be sure your partner loves you and accepts you for whom you are? Learn how to identify whether your partner actually loves you for you or is just buying some time with you until someone better comes along.
Details:
Is Your Partner Only Around for the Good Times?
- Beware if your partner is only around during the fun, flirtatious, easy-breezy times of the relationship. If your partner is serious and is into you for you, he or she will stick around when the going gets tough too. You will see that you’re supported and loved unconditionally.
- Think back on recent past memories with your partner. Does your partner tune into you when you’re talking about a serious matter or stress you’re having at work? Or does your partner only come around when you’re happy and carefree?
- Does your partner nag you or criticize you often or every time you don’t look or act perfect?
Does Your Partner Date You Secretly or in the Open?
- Secret dating or “secret sex” happens when you don’t fit his or her ideal image. It’s not personal; it’s your partner. Start looking out for signs that suggest your partner isn’t proud to be with you openly.
- When was the last time (if ever) you saw your partner’s friends, family members or even coworkers?
- If you’ve never, or it’s been a while, ask your partner to all hang out together. Invite your partner to go out with your friends and see how he or she reacts to the invitation. If squeamish, be honest about the matter: “Are you embarrassed by me? Why don’t you ever want to go out with me and my friends?”
Does Your Partner Compliment You Freely and Openly?
- Go out in public with him or her. Does your partner drop your hand when approaching a crowd of people or about to bump into his or her friends on the street?
- Watch for signs of “closed relationship behavior.” Look for opportunities where your partner has the chance to introduce you as his or her ”boyfriend” or ”girlfriend” but dodges it completely.
- If a committed relationship is important to you, create a discussion and ask what your partner wants.
Has Your Partner Brought You Into His or Her Social Circle?
- Meeting friends (especially if your partner has a big social network) should happen early in your relationship. Why hasn’t it happened yet?
- Ask your partner questions about his or her friends. Wait for him or her to hesitate and then say, “I’d love to meet your best friends that you always talk about. When should we grab a drink?” Give him or her a week to set something up. If your partner doesn’t, be hesitant about his or her intentions.
The Choice You Have to Make…
- Don’t allow your partner to create a secret girlfriend or boyfriend out of you. Insist on respect by telling him or her what you want and won’t tolerate.
- Focus on honesty; look for red flags. Is your partner being secretive about his or her life or unable to see you for blocks of time (hours or days)? Is your partner unreachable often by phone or email?
- Don’t settle for a relationship that’s not fantastic; insist that you have everything you want and set the standard for him or her to accept or reject.
Conclusion
Nothing hurts quite like a love interest who doesn’t want the same things you do. However, if you can learn to read the signs, figure out what he or she really wants out of a relationship and assert what you’re not willing to tolerate, then you’ll have the happiest relationship possible.
