Saying “I Love You” is possibly the easiest way to let somebody know that you care about them, but it isn’t the only way. When it comes to expressing emotions, every individual is different. While some use words, others rely more on actions and gestures. The way your significant other displays affection may not be the same way you do, which can make you anxious about your relationship and make you feel less desired.

1. They listen to you like your personal diary.

If your partner is willing to listen to you and comfort you on both your sad and happy days, they’re not just a great listener, but this also suggests that they value your relationship’s trust. Your partner is trying to make the connection between you 2 stronger and more honest by allowing you to wind.

2. They love cuddling as much as you do.

Cuddling is one of the biggest joys of being in a relationship when you’re in love. If your partner likes to cuddle as much as you do, it means they really love to spend quality time with you and, however, respect your relationship’s intimacy. Not only that, random kisses on the forehead and hugs on the back are also a sign of trying to tell you how important you are to them without actually saying the words.

3. They encourage you to achieve your goals.

Being in a relationship is not always the same as being with your partner or writing them 24/7. You’re two separate people with different goals and dreams at the end of the day. If your partner encourages you to devote more time to achieving your goals, instead of complaining that they are not the focus of your attention, it means that they value personal space. It is a sign of maturity and true love to understand that your partner also has a life and the right to pursue their own dreams.

4. They help you around the house.

If your partner doesn’t mind doing the laundry every other day or doing daily chores then it’s an indication that your partner sees you as their counterpart, their equivalent. It’s really hard to find someone in a relationship who respects justice, so don’t let them go if you’ve found your special person!

5. They don’t mind talking about you to their loved ones.

The clearest sign that you don’t fool your partner is to see them talking about you to their friends and family. If your significant other doesn’t mind telling others about your relationship, it means that for all the right reasons they value commitment and are with you. With you, they see the future.

6. They engage in PDA whenever you 2 go out.

An occasional public display of affection is all right, but if your partner always does it, it could be a red flag. It’s a sign of insecurity to want to expose your relationship to others, and if your partner just doesn’t know how to keep their hands off you, even in public, it might mean they’re lusting after you.
