Everyone dreams of finding their Mr. or Ms. Right and spending the rest of their lives together. And live happily ever after, of course.
So what are the clues that indicate you finally found the person you will spend the rest of your life with?
No more comparisons
When you do not think of your past and your exes and you do not compare your present significant other with them. Your present partner (and hopefully your last) is their own person. They are unlike any of the partners you had in the past, nor do they remind you of someone you could never have. You are simply thankful for who they are and what you feel around them.
When you feel good around them
By this, it means you do not compromise your beliefs or principles to accommodate them. You feel free to be yourself around them, and you do not worry that you would scare them away with your “negative” side. The same way that you don’t run away at the first sign of “Oops, I don’t like this side of them.”
When you feel comfortable in a fully animated conversation as well as in silence
It is often considered a sign of “compatibility” when you and your significant other can’t seem to run out of topics to talk about. You can talk each other’s ears off but still could understand each other. When you, however, feel as comfortable in silence and not awkward, it is a good sign that you can tolerate each other and not need topics to drown out discomfort of being together.
There are a lot of other considerations such as being each other’s number one fans/cheerers especially during times of trouble, not expecting each other to change, you could never stop laughing around each other but you can also cry with them around, you inspire each other, they make you feel important and knows what’s important to you (and vice versa), etc.
But looking at the divorce rates in most countries around the world, it is safe to say that what works for one couple may not work for another. And since no one can predict the future, it is always up to the couple to make their relationship work and last according to the oath they took: until death do them part.
