Love is an action word. Some people choose to live in denial that their partner loves them when signs are visible even to a blind person. There is no hard and fast rule. When someone loves you, they would go out of their way to make the relationship last forever. If you are in doubt that your partner that is already a sign that they don’t. Anyway, here are 4 ways to know if your partner loves you:
1. Is your partner happy around you?
What is your partner’s disposition around you? If a person has had a very bad day but lights up when you come around, that’s a sign of love. If he/she is in love with you then the sight of you or your voice is guaranteed to make him or her feel better. To be sure, see how she/he reacts the next time you show up when she/he is in a bad mood.
2. Does the person say “I love you” like they mean it
Talk is cheap but if your romantic partner really loves you and tells you this much then so it is. You should believe them while they look into your eyes, sounding earnest, and not wanting anything from you. She/he will say it for no reason at all, not just because she/he needs a favour or because it feels like the right thing to say.
3. No pretense
When someone loves you, he/she completely opens up to you. If you get to see a whole side of that person that he/she doesn’t show the public, that may be a love sign. If the person shares his/her deepest emotions with you and is comfortable with it, then that is love. If the person is also being comfortable not looking perfect, tripping, or having food stuck in his or her teeth around you, that means she/he is okay if you see every side of him or her.
4. Does your partner talk about your future together?
If the person talks about the future and always includes you in it, then there is a good chance s/he truly loves you because true commitment means seeing a forever with another person. If the person routinely talks about what you’re going to do in the future, about what your lives will look like one, two, or even ten years in the future together, what your kids will look like, where you will retire together, or where you will go for your honeymoon, then he/she probably loves you.
