Nowadays, relationships are complicated, and being with someone requires constant negotiation It is important that there is an equitable balance between giving and receiving (but on the part of both, because we cannot demand what we do not give ourselves) because, at the end of the day, we all want a partner who respects us and want. Unfortunately, not all the couples we have are our great love nor do we end up at the altar with them.

10 keys to know if your partner loves you
What are the keys to knowing if your partner loves you? Below we present the list of ten ways to know if your partner loves you, or if, on the contrary, the flame is already going out.
1. It is congruent between the love he says he feels and what he shows
The person who loves you not only tells you it, but shows it to you daily Words alone are carried away by the wind, and it is very easy to say “I love you” but it takes effort to express love and take care of the day-to-day details. If he tells you that he loves you but doesn’t show it to you (for example, by spending time with you, taking care of you, etc.), and if, furthermore, you don’t feel loved for this reason, the first thing you should do is let him know your position. Therefore, believe their actions before their words.
Now, you must also be sincere and recognize if you also show your love, because it is very easy to ask and expect from others without giving ourselves.
2. He is not only looking for you to have intimate relationships
If the other person spends little time with you for activities and every time you see each other it is to have intimate relationships, perhaps you should consider whether that is what you want. A couple is there to add value and to make you feel lucky You better say what you think assertively, because if you want something more than a gray hair in the air, let him know.
3. It does not harm your dignity
Someone who loves you does not harm your dignity You may get angry and have arguments because each of you defends his position. In some cases, arguments can even be strong, because when you live with someone your deepest values can conflict. Now, if that person treats you badly and humiliates you in public, he does not love or respect you.
Maybe you have a job offer or a change opportunity, or you are simply planning to take advantage of your two-week vacation to spend it in Thailand with your friends. If he includes you in his plans and takes your opinion into account, you can be sure that that person loves you
If, on the other hand, instead of spending that time with you he decides to go on holiday to Ibiza with his friends without even asking you if you want to spend time with him, perhaps you should reflect on his position. Now, there is nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with his friends, it is normal and understandable. But if he only has one vacation and decides to spend it with other people… maybe you should rethink things.
5. …Are you their priority?
The above example shows that you are not his priority A person who loves you is going to make an effort to make your relationship work. If he never counts on you in everything he does, maybe you are not his priority, and if you are not, does the relationship make sense?
6. He feels happy about your achievements
A united couple will never be defeated So if it goes well for you, it is also her triumph. If you are with a person who loves you, he will be extremely happy about what you achieve in your personal and professional life because he wants the best for you.
7. It is available to you
The person who loves you will want to spend time with you If he is always more focused on work, the gym or spending time with his friends, he may not care as much about you. As has already been said, you are the priority of the person who loves you, and that is demonstrated with actions, not only expressed in words.
8. He defends you
If your partner loves you, he or she will defend you when criticized or when someone attacks you personally If, on the other hand, your partner becomes the first one who, instead of defending you, continually criticizes you and does not help you, it may be an obvious sign that things are not going well.
9. Trust yourself
Trust in the other member of the romantic relationship is one of the greatest predictors of well-being in the couple, because if the other person loves you, instead of putting obstacles in your way, they will trust you. That doesn’t mean that at specific times she can be a little jealous and let you know. In fact, it is quite normal when someone loves a person.
10. He does things for you even if he doesn’t like them
And sometimes, the person who loves you doesn’t have to enjoy everything you like. But even activities that are not to your liking out of love are endured For example, if you have an important competition on the same day that your soccer team plays, if your partner loves you, he or she will go see you and support you. Or if you really like dancing salsa and he hates it, he will probably make that sacrifice to be with you.
This does not mean that one should adopt all the tastes and hobbies of the other member of the couple. It actually means that one can be flexible and attentive to spend good times with that special person.
