Actions will always speak louder than words.
Everyone can say that they love you or care about you. In fact, I’m sure that you have heard it before. You have heard empty promises and words with no meaning. It is much easier to say something than take action and prove your true feelings. For this reason, when you are in a relationship, it is more important to pay attention to what your partner does instead of what they say. While there are a thousand things that your partner can do to show you that they love you, these are some of the most common signs that they truly care about you:
1. They show their commitment.
It is one thing to say that you are committed, and it is an entirely different thing to show it. A committed partner will put in effort and make solid plans for both the present and the future.
2. They stand up for you.
They come to your defense every time somebody speaks poorly of you. Standing up for someone when they are not around is the greatest loyalty that one can show.
3. They are mindful of your boundaries.
If you say that you do not want to talk about or do something, they will never push you to. They respect your boundaries and ensure that you feel safe and secure.
4. They are always there.
You know that your partner has your back if you can be sure that they will be there when times are rough. A loving and loyal partner will drop everything they’re doing to come help you if you are in need of support.
5. They are willing to talk through issues.
No matter how good a relationship is, there will always be issues and arguments. What matters is how you choose to deal with them. A loving partner will be eager to talk through and resolve any problems because they know that the relationship matters more than their ego.
6. They never ignore you.
You will never feel neglected, dismissed, or ignored when you are with the right person. They will always make time to hear you out and understand how you are feeling.
7. They push you to follow your dreams.
Instead of diminishing your accomplishments and being jealous, they encourage you to follow your dreams. Moreover, they are proud of you and truly believe that you are capable of achieving anything you want to.
8. They do not ‘scroll and talk’.
There is nothing worse than pouring out your feelings and realizing that your partner is paying more attention to their phone than they are to you. A loving partner will listen to you and show you that you are their priority.
9. They make your life easier.
If your partner takes time to make you breakfast, do the dishes, or pick up groceries because they know you have been feeling overwhelmed, they truly love you. The right person will try to lighten your load and make your life easier.
10. They ask you for advice.
Asking you for advice before making important decisions shows that they value your thoughts and opinions. Moreover, it shows that they love and respect you.
Start paying attention to what your partner does – their actions will always reveal more about their feelings than words ever can.
