Our romantic relationships play a significant role in our lives. How happy or unhappy our relationship is can have a huge impact on the rest of our lives, in many ways.
So, it makes sense that we want to know whether we are in the right relationships or not.
There is so much information about relationships online these days and it isn’t helpful to read into every piece of advice and every opinion that you see shared. Usually, this just makes us more anxious and confused than we were in the first place.
When you are trying to figure out whether or not you are in the right romantic relationship for you, it is important to turn inwards and read the signs you are giving yourself.
Here are the top 3 signs you are indeed in the right relationship and have no need to worry any further.
You sleep well
When you love someone and you feel safe, your brain releases chemicals that help you get to sleep a lot quicker. When you are in a healthy relationship, you will find yourself getting to sleep earlier than ever before.
Being in a bad relationship that isn’t right for you will give you stress and anxiety, causing your brain to release more negative hormones, keeping you awake for longer.
When you aren’t in the right relationship you will also have lots of things to worry and ruminate about which will keep you up at night.
If you’re sleeping well, chances are your relationship is good for you.
Other areas of your life are thriving
Sometimes we think that being in a good relationship means giving our all to our relationship and having that relationship take over our entire lives, but this is, in fact, very unhealthy.
Good relationships allow the other areas of our lives to thrive and flourish, outside of the relationship.
If you are in a bad relationship you will quickly see that it is all you can think about. It takes up all your time and energy and you end up feeling drained, which leaks into nearly every area of your life.
Being in a good relationship gives you a solid foundation from which you can go out and do other things without this draining energy.
If life feels good right now, this is a good sign for your relationship.
You can be yourself
We feel that we have to perform or act like we are someone else whenever we are in unhealthy relationships. We also might feel that we have to tiptoe around the other person so that we don’t cause arguments or negative situations.
When we are in happy, healthy relationships we have the freedom to be our true selves and we feel that we can do so without any negative consequences.
If you find yourself feeling free, being yourself, engaging in things that you would normally do without a partner, and feeling that you can do what you want without a negative backlash, signs would suggest that you currently have the right partner for you.
And, hey, sometimes things don’t work out and we might change our minds down the line, and that is ok.
But it is always good to see the green flags when they are and appreciate them as much as we can.
