Just because your relationship veers toward the side of the road, that doesn’t mean you’re in the ditch. There are always ups and downs, but here’s how you know for sure where you guys stand, according toBustle:
- You Feel Comfortable Around Each Other- This is supposed to be your boo, but you still get embarrassed when you pass a little gas around them? Hey! It happens. Just laugh it off because it’s definitely going to happen again.
- You Seek Each Other's Company- If you’d rather hang out with your friends more than your own boo,that’s probably not really your boo.Your real boo may be one-of your friends.
- You Want To Introduce Them To Friends And Family- Not everyone has the luxury of meeting your parents and best buds.But if everyone approves, that’s just the cherry on top!
- You Aren't Afraid To Talk About The Future- If you aren’t working toward marriage or something bigger than just dating, what’s the purpose of this relationship? Let that sink in.
- There's Two-Way Communication- Think of it as a seesaw. You talk, then I talk, and we continue this pattern. We need balance, otherwise someone’s going to hit the ground.
- You Feel Safe And Secure- Clinical psychologistDr. Carla Marie Manlyexplains, "This feeling of being bonded is what makes a couple feel safe and secure with each other in what is an often worrisome and unsteady world."
- You Fix Problems As You Go- "The healthier the foundation and the better the ongoing maintenance, the less work the relationship will need in the log run," says Manly.
You’re getting closer and closer to the finish line folks!
