Though you might think you have your relationship all figured out, it’s definitely possible that your partner might love you more than you think they do. If you think that there’s something off in your relationship or you think that they don’t love you as much as you love them, for instance, it might be because of misinterpretations and miscommunication.
If you feel like the two of you aren’t connecting in the same way or you can’t put your finger on what’s going on, here’s what you might need to know.
1. They make you a priority.
If your partner generally makes you and your relationship a priority, that’s another good sign that they might love you more than you think. Whether they make you a priority in big ways or just in small, subtle ways, it lets you know that they value the connection they have with you.
2. You’re the first person they turn to.
It’s nice to be the person that someone turns to to lift them up when they’re down or celebrate their successes. If you’re that person for your partner, that’s a good sign that they might love you more than you think.
These are signs of appreciation and wanting to be near you but not in an insecure wanting to possess you sort of way; they are signs that they want to be connected to you, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
3. They’re thinking about you when you’re not together.
It could be as simple as a text during the day about something that reminded them of you.
When you think of someone you love, it can reduce stress, elevate your mood and even assuage pain, so the fact that they’re thinking of you may be an indication that they take comfort in your love.
If you can pick up on the fact that they’re thinking about you even when you’re not right in front of them, that could mean that they love you more than you think that they do.
4. They’re thoughtful.
Whether it’s bringing you roses or helping moving out, they’re thinking of you.
Being held in mind by your partner and accepting your partner’s influence are hallmarks of being connected and we want to be connected to those we love, especially our romantic partners.
If your partner is thoughtful and considerate, takes note of tiny details, goes out of their way to make you feel better or show that they’re on your side, then they might love you more than you think.
