How to know If your boyfriend Is Still In love With You

1

If you're a female in a relationship, chances are you've become insecure and have search on Google for 'signs that he still loves me '.

Unless you're the world's most secure human being, chances are you've clicked on one or all 300 of the articles. They all say things like "He puts his phone down when you're together," or "He asks you questions about your future," or, "He goes out of his way to hold your hand or touch you when you're hanging out."

And the lists aren't wrong, exactly. But... well, they aren't the whole story either.

A while back, I clicked through a Cosmo story that was a checklist of all the signs that my boyfriend (ex boyfriend now)  truly loves me and had a hiccup of panic when I couldn't identify with more than one or two.

Some relationships have persons living together, and their conversations aren't often conducted over an intimate dinner with constant eye contact, they're shouted across two rooms as one of them is unloading the dishwasher and the other is answering work emails.

The guy never inquires about her hopes and dreams because he knows them all.

He's seen her stress ,cry when achieving one of  her goals especially if one of them was particularly hard.

She stays away from him when they are lounging on the couch because when he gets home from the gym and hasn't showered yet it's not the time to snuggle up.

To some this may sound like lowering the bar. But for every new-love behavior that falls by the wayside, there is another that indicates the deep and comfortable love that takes its place.

He reveres the traditions you share.

This can be anything from a standing date night, to the understanding that you two split up at Costco to get double the samples.

This can also be that you wash dishes for this particular day or that he gets the groceries on Friday.

You've both also invented new traditions, that you both follow consistently.

If he finds these traditions important,and takes part in them without forgetting it means he's established a structure in his life that you're a necessary part of.
