Relations / / December 19, 2019
1. When you are together, you do not think about others
Founder of dating site A Little Nudge Erika Ettin (Erika Ettin) offers to conduct such a test. Pay attention to how you behave with your partner in a bar or restaurant. You look around to see who else is around? Thinking about who can see you together? Or are you just happy that you two, and vice versa want to be seen with him or her? If it is the latter, your partner has passed the test.
2. Partner rejoices in your success
According to psychotherapist Thomas Shannon (Shannon Thomas), in unhealthy relationship one person is often detrimental to the interests of another. Sincere joy for your achievements - an indication that this will not happen. To do this, the partner should be satisfied with their own lives. Then he will rejoice in your successes with you.
"Couples who value the needs and interests of each other, it is easier to compromise than couples in which everyone thinks only of himself, "- says psychologist at Syracuse University Vanderdrift Laura (Laura VanderDrift).
3. Partner is not trying to change you
If your partner behaves in the same way with you in public and in private, to treat you with patience, you are on the right track. Malone Tracy (Tracy Malone), the founder of the site for victims of emotional abuse Narcissist Abuse Support, advises to listen to your intuition. She often sends us signals if something goes wrong, but we ignore them.
For example, if the partner is trying to change you, or does not accept this, as you are - it's a sign that a person loves to control others. He will never treat you with respect.
4. Partner fits into your life
Consider whether the partner of your life intersects with the outside of the relationship. Does he get along with other people in your life? Do you get along with his friends and family? Do you have common interests and activities? If so, this is a good sign.
5. Partner listens to you
According to psychologist Elinor Greenberg (Elinor Greenberg), well, if the partner is genuinely interested in your life and listens attentively when you're talking about. And also remember that you told about themselves. If it is almost always speaks only of themselves, do not ask about you, do not listen to your words, it is unlikely he is interested in you. He just needs to speak out.
6. Partner consoles you when you are sad
Remember, as a partner behaves when you feel sad or you have had a bad day. Perhaps he shows compassion and is not distracted when you talk about your experiences. He knows when you just need a hug.
But if you criticize because you feel sad, or say that you are too sharply react, it is an alarming sign. This behavior may be a sign of narcissism. Maybe then you feel that you really have reacted sharply. All the same, it is necessary that in a difficult moment you heard.
7. Partner does not hide his emotions
In a healthy relationship the partners express their feelings and resolve conflicts. If hush discontent, anger will only grow.
"Quarrel in this case, not a way to cause another pain, and the opportunity to learn, - told the therapist Jonathan Marshall (Jonathan Marshall). - In fact you say partner: "That's the way your brain works, that's what I feel we can learn from it and move on. '"
