Even when you’re in an incredible relationship, it’s easy to feel insecure and second-guess yourself about it. We all do it, which is why we were so interested in a recent Reddit thread that asked women about the signs that tell them a relationship is going well. Here’s how real-life women say they know their relationships are on the right track.
- “It feels safe and you don’t have to wonder if it’s going well or where you stand with the other person.”
- “The relationship feels effortless and your happiness comes easily.”
- “You both put in an equal amount of effort and there’s a lot of mutual respect.”
- “Communication comes naturally and it’s so easy to talk to each other.”
- “You don’t have to wonder if your partner is into you because you can feel that they are.”
- “You can laugh together, with each other, at each other, and you’re over that insecure stage of walking on eggshells to make sure you don’t upset or offend the other.”
- “A fight doesn’t signal the end. When you fight and it’s over, it’s over. No one gives each other the silent treatment or keeps bringing it up. Also the fight is the two of you against an issue, not you vs. them.”
- “The thought of being together forever doesn’t scare you.”
- “You’re not looking for reassurance that it’s going well. You just live, have fun, and feel free.”
- “You don’t have to do EVERYTHING together, you both still have your own identities and interests.”
- “You feel totally calm and confident when it comes to your relationship. It’s a certain level of peace that once achieved, really solidifies that things are going well.”
