How can a person tell if they are in the right relationship?
Have you experienced breaking up with somebody but then you'd missed the person and you want to be with him terribly however when you're back together, the nasty doubting question pops up again? AM I IN A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP?
It has been proven time and again that a right relationship is hard to come by with. Its rather built than found. Things change as well as people through the years. But there are tell-tale signs if one is heading to a right relationship. So for now, try asking yourself and observing the following questions listed below to give you an idea if you are into a right relationship:
To start with, ARE YOU HAPPY? It doesn't necessarily mean that whenever you are together you feel jubilant and light, but generally you simply feel happy and contented that you are together.
Are you having doubts with your other half? Are you having negative vibes or do you feel uneasy with the relationship as if you feel that it is a mistake? But if you have none of these, and things are working positively for both of you then you might be into great relationship.
Are you thinking of someone else even if you are together with your supposed loved one? Do you feel you are better off or spending better time with the person in your mind rather than with the person you are in relationship right now. If you are having "Ifs" thoughts, then you're relationship is definitely not the right one.
Are you safe and secured with the relationship in the physical and psychological aspect? Is your relation relationship free from bodily and verbal abuse? A right relationship does not have the word "HURT" in their vocabulary but instead it is a "HAVEN" from any harm that might come between the two of you.
Are you worry-free from threats of a break up or thoughts of your partner cheating on you and vice-versa? If you do not trust your partner, then you would end up spending your time worthlessly on petty things rather than on how to build your relationship better. If you do not trust the person, then your relationship have no foundation at all in the first place. Primarily a right relationship is built on FAITH.
Are you SPECIAL? Do you often ask yourself if you are special to the person you are in relationship with? Do you constantly seek your partner's attention and hungry for his/her affection, then you might be into a one-way relationship rather than a mutual one. As the saying goes, it takes "two to tango". You are in a relationship because both of you share the same feeling. There is no I and U in WE.
SO ARE YOU IN A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP? Try answering the questions above and find out if you are building one.
