When we’re in a relationship that we care deeply about, we tend to make future plans with our partner and imagine our whole lives together. Especially if we’ve been together for a long time.
But the sad truth is that there’s really no guarantee that our loved one will stay forever and ever. It’s best to be cautious about the future and keep in mind the possibility of losing them. Otherwise, we risk taking them for granted.
But with all the uncertainties lurking, sometimes there is that gut feeling that tells us we are going to be in the relationship for a very long time.
Because we can’t rely on our gut feelings alone, you should also look out for these signs
1. HE WANTS YOU TO THINK YOU’RE AWESOME
It’s not enough that he thinks you’re a beautiful and awesome creature, he wants to be sure you think that about yourself, too. One of the signs that he will never stop loving you is that he not only offers words of assurance, but can sense when you’re feeling a little down on yourself. Bad hair day? He’ll compliment you on your hair. Feeling a bit pudgy? He’ll tell you he’s always loved your figure. He’ll try to make you feel beautiful both inside and out.
2. HE’S FULLY COMMITTED THROUGH GOOD TIMES AND BAD
It’s easy to be there when things are going great. It’s a little harder when the road becomes rocky. When the going gets tough his first thought is how you will stick it out together, he won’t be looking for the exit. He won’t run after a little fight, and if he’s in a bad mood he won’t take it out on those close to him. He understands just how important his relationship with you is, and he won’t let anything get in the way of keeping it.
3. HE FACES PROBLEMS
At the first sign of trouble many men are looking for an exit. Not this guy. He faces problems head on and looks for reasonable solutions. He doesn’t bottle things up – if something is bothering him in the relationship, he brings it up carefully and respectfully so that you don’t feel attacked and will want to work with him towards a solution. He’s comfortable talking about issues and tries to look for the underlying problems instead of the symptoms. He understands that even major problems don’t have to define your relationship if you can work through them together.
4. HE DOESN’T FORGET THE LITTLE THINGS
He knows you care about certain things, such as the dishes being done or the trash taken out. This doesn’t bother him, because these are little things that make you happy. Maybe when he was living alone a sink overflowing with dishes didn’t bother him, but he’ll take time away from things he enjoys doing to be sure the clothes make it to the wash and the dishwasher gets emptied because not doing those things stresses you out. He’ll let you choose the music for your road trip, and he won’t watch a movie without you by his side munching on your favorite popcorn.
5. HE SHRUGS OFF YOUR MISTAKES
Everyone makes mistakes; he doesn’t hold yours against you. If you said something to offend him, even if it stings a little, he’s pretty sure you didn’t mean it that way and laughs it off. If you let him down, he won’t hold it against you, like that time you stayed late at work when he had a nice dinner ready for you. That doesn’t mean he’s not sensitive, it just means he’ll never make you feel bad for unintentionally hurting his feelings.
6. HE FINDS WAYS TO SURPRISE YOU
Whether it’s taking you out for a meal at your favourite restaurant, buying you a bunch of your favourite flowers or giving you a massage after a long and hard day at work, he’s always looking for fun and exciting ways to surprise you.
7. HE MAKES TIME FOR YOU
No matter how busy or hectic his schedule may be, you have full faith that your man will always make time for you so that you can spend some quality time together. For example, even after a particularly long and/or stressful day he will still be up for watching your favourite movie with you ’til late.
