Being in love is a beautiful experience. However, your feelings towards your partner can sometimes blot out certain toxic behaviors. In truth, looking for perfection in your spouse is a fantasy. While there would be some not-so-rosy moments, you should have a lot more comfortable experiences with them.
If you're uncertain about whether they're right for you, read below some of the signs you should look out for in your partner:
Supportiveness
If you have a partner that's consistently supporting what you do, this is a sign that they're right for you. They help you reach your goal shows that you're in a very healthy relationship.
They Care About Your Mental Health.
A lot of external and internal factors can affect your mental health. If you're in a relationship where you're strained or they are constantly producing negative energy, you should start having a rethink.
They Don't Always Say They Love You But They Show It
Quite a lot of times, your partner may not be as emotionally expressive. It doesn't mean they aren't as much in love with you as you are with them. You can tell from their actions, even with littlest of things.
They're Your Number One Defenders
Yes, even when there are certain times when you may be wrong. You will notice how defensive they get around you when external issues crop up. Of course, be prepared for a private conversation in cases where it was your fault.
They're Your Number One Constructive Critics
Although this can easily be twisted to manipulation, when done the right way, you shouldn't leave them. Sometimes, you need someone who can constructively criticize your work and personality in general. Having these traits in a relationship means they are constantly trying to help bring out the best in you. When you want to constructively criticize your partner, make sure you use words like ''this is great but I'll suggest you...'' rather than blatantly blurting out words to hurt their feelings. For instance ''I hate this!"
They're Always Looking Out For You
When you find a partner that's always rooting for you or looking out for you, you should keep them close to your heart. When they show signs of interest in your career, goals and are actively searching for opportunities for you, you're definitely with the right person.
They're Constantly Looking For A Better Way To Settle Disputes
Disputes can become a very bitter experience in a relationship. When you're with that one person that's continually trying to find a better alternative to settle disputes, you're in the right place. Rather than yell back at each other, they choose words like ''okay... can we try to sort this out in a calm manner?" along with other words intended to reduce the intensity of the situation.
