5 Symptoms of Real Love

Love is complicated. It’s so ever changing that thousands of movies have tried to portray it and each and every single one of them has failed… and succeeded. It’s so confusing that even philosophers keep trying to define it, and so beautiful, that poets keep writing about it.

1. It Makes You Forget Old Resentments

You no longer care if your exes have hurt you or wronged you. Even when you see them in the street, you smile at them. You are simply happy with this new person and there is no space for any other feeling.

2. You Accept The Defects That You Used To Hate.

The “head over heals” phase is short. During these months everything is perfect, and you both complete each other. But after some time you come to realise that being with each other is not fate, but working together. There is no longer a need to hide your defects, because you know that even with these, you are finally with the person that you have always looked for.

3. You Never Argue To Win

There is no couple in the world who hasn’t been through an argument or a fight. But when you are with the love of your life, you don’t fight to win. You are willing to yield and finally agree. 

4. You Can’t Imagine Life Without This Person

You are not scared to talk about the future, you know that no matter what this person is going to be there. You can talk about different kinds of scenarios, like a possible wedding, family, children or travels. You have no doubt that, even 50 years later, you are going share memories together.

5. You Don’t Feel The Need To Show Off Your Relationship

You don’t feel the need to show every single detail of your relationship on your social media. You know that the best experiences and details with your significant other are better kept and enjoyed between the both of you. Your relationship is amazing just the way it is and you don’t need any kind of approval, judgement or bad vibes.
