When you’re in a relationship with a guy, you want to be the best version of yourself. You want him to bring out all of your amazing qualities and to nurture all the things that make you an incredible woman. Does your boyfriend bring out the best in you? Here’s how you know.
- You feel the happiest you’ve ever felt. If you and your guy are a great match, you’ll easily be able to say that this is the happiest you’ve ever been, and not just in a relationship. You find yourself constantly in a good mood, you’re smiling much more than you used to, and you generally just enjoy life more. While you’ve always lived an amazing life, the improvement is clearly because this new guy came onto the scene.
- You complement each other. The reason for your happiness is mostly because you guys just seem like an ideal fit. He’s the yin to your yang, the coffee to your creamer, and the peanut butter to your jelly. In short, you won’t be able to explain it but it just works. His strengths make up for your weaknesses and vice versa.
- Everyone comments on how well-suited you both are. In fact, pretty much everyone insists that you’re perfect together. Whether it’s your best friend, mother, or neighbor’s cousin, you’re overwhelmed with compliments about the way you are with your other half, the way he is with you, and the way you are together. Sometimes it actually surprises you how many people comment on these things positively and how frequently.
- It’s impossible to argue with each other for long. It’s really hard to fight with him, and it’s not because you’re scared of him leaving you or anything. Just thinking about having a conflict with him and not being able to speak to him makes you feel uneasy because you care about him too much to be on bad terms even for a little while. When you do argue (because let’s face it, it’s going to happen!), things get squashed pretty quickly because you both realize that nothing is worth fighting over when your relationship is this amazing.
- There are no signs of toxicity. In past relationships, perhaps you or your partner have displayed some toxic traits such as emotional unavailability or lack of trust. There are no signs of any of that with your new guy. In fact, you can’t ever imagine your relationship turning sour. Even when you argue, things don’t ever reach the screaming or name-calling level.
- You feel like you’re an improved version of yourself. Because your relationship is so great and you feel so loved and in love, this makes you feel so confident with yourself and in life. You feel like a new and improved version of yourself who’s fearless and able to do anything just because you have your guy by your side. This makes you a joy to be around.
- You feel like he’s also changed for the better since you’ve been together. Likewise, as your relationship has progressed, you’ve seen a new and improved version of your other half emerge. This is because he’s just as happy with you as you are with him. Essentially, by choosing to love each other, you’ve made each other better people.
- You’re stronger when you’re with each other. Because you make each other so happy, you feel like the absolute dream team when you’re together. You’re so much stronger together than apart. In fact, you find it extremely difficult to be apart for long periods of time because you might not feel 100% like your new and improved self unless you’re with your boyfriend.
- You can’t see yourself being without him. If your guy truly brings out the best in you, you won’t ever want to be without him. Not only are you planning to stick with him for the foreseeable future, but you’re also planning for the day where you can commit to each other, whether this is by buying a house together or having a baby. You have so much to look forward to together.
- You love yourself just as much as you love your other half. Last of all, the main sign that your guy brings out the best in you is that you’ve never loved yourself more than you do now that you’re with him. Gone are any doubts or insecurities you once had because your new guy makes you feel like a top priority. He caters to most needs you have and you do exactly the same for him. In fact, due to the fact that he loves you so much, it’s taught you how love yourself just as much. Because of this, you’ll be forever grateful to him.
