14 Things That Will Help You Understand at What Stage Your Current Relationship Is

When do you realize that you have a stable relationship? When do you turn from two lovers into a solid couple, already recognized as such by those around you? First of all, to lay the foundations of a stable couple, it takes time, time to get to know each other and to realize if you are suitable or not, because, although you can fall madly in love with a person, things can simply it doesn't work! But certain signs show this transformation, relatively simple signs to observe and follow.

So, you have a stable relationship if:

● You already have a more or less strict schedule for your meetings. Depending on each work or study schedule, you have chosen certain days of the week in which you will see each other so that it will be easier for both of you. A stable relationship also means that you see each other quite often, for example, once every two days and that you spend at least part of this time in the house of one of you, not only in the city!

● Apart from this program, you have formed a certain comfortable routine just for you: one day you prefer to stay at home to watch movies, another day you prefer to go to your favorite place, on weekends you meet some close people. As long as you usually meet on the weekend, for example on Saturday night, with your friends separately, you still don't have what is called a stable relationship!

● You have become very serious if you almost always eat breakfast together! If you have become accustomed to waking up next to each other, spending some pleasant time in bed, and then preparing breakfast together, you may feel that you have passed the first stage of your relationship.

● In connection with the last idea, you have a stable relationship even when, in the evenings when you do not see your partner, it is harder or worse for you to fall asleep alone in bed. And if you have a nice habit of sending them a good night to the phone every night, you've taken another step!

● Not all the signs of a stable relationship will delight you: it happens, when in addition to love, attachment and habit intervened, that the emotions and thrills of the first dates diminish. Thus, you wake up that you are no longer looking forward to seeing him/her, you no longer have butterflies in your stomach before the meeting. It's normal because meeting your partner has become as natural and necessary as drinking coffee in the morning, so it's not a bad thing! Although, like coffee, your partner may cause long-term side effects…

● Do you remember how long it took you to get ready before the first dates, even if you were a man? How much did you think seriously about what to wear and what combinations to make, what color suits you, what perfume suits you best… Well, now you have a stable relationship and you left all these torments behind because you have to get used to being yourself and dressing according to your mood because he/she loves you anyway! Here, beware: many people end up completely ignoring this aspect: just because you no longer have to impress and conquer your partner for good, does not mean that you can put a bag on yourself! He or she still likes to see you arranged and is proud of you when you are admired in public by other people!

● He admits that you, like everyone else, did his best to conquer his partner and for this, he put on a little innocent "mask" - he did not show all his flaws and focused only on qualities. So, you did not show your partner some irritating or less elegant habits at first - which we all have! Do you find your partner squealing contentedly after a meal? Do you find your partner "discreetly" pulling out her hair "discreetly" with tweezers where she should NOT have a mustache or nose? It means that, at last, he feels at ease with you and no longer hides behind your fingers! From now on, you will see its unpleasant parts, and if nothing will scare you, congratulations! You have a stable relationship in the true sense of the word!

● A stable relationship also implies that you have a common group of friends: either you have befriended each other and formed a large group of friends (which is less common), or you or your partner have already joined the group. existing friends of one of you, you must have a relatively solid group of friends to spend your weekends and holidays with! If you still go out more often with personal friends than together, then you still have work to do

● If at the beginning you only knew what each of you is doing or studying, now you want to know as much as possible about your professions and you will find yourself talking proudly about what your partner is doing!

● If you are a woman and you have an unstoppable desire to cook them (although so far your culinary talent is limited to frying eggs), then you are caught! And if you are a man and you felt the need to show him what you like to do in your free time - your sacred hobby (gaming, billiards, paintball), then the same for you!

● If you have known each other's close relatives and been in the discussion for more than five minutes, after which you are interested in their opinion about you, then again, sincere congratulations!

● You can't talk about a stable relationship if you haven't said "I love you" yet! Without this sincere statement, even if not said, written on a greeting card, you simply would not be serious yet! And if you respect yourself as a couple, you already have a song just for you (although there are probably dozens of other couples) and a place just for you (a place, a park) that arouses pleasant or passionate memories!

● And if you make plans for the future, then you have already reached the end of the process of building a stable relationship! It doesn't have to be about moving in together, marriage or children, it's enough to talk about where you will spend the summer and it is already a clear sign that you are involved!

● Nothing was mentioned about sex: you have a stable relationship if you have already tried various out-of-the-ordinary ideas in your sexual activity (places, positions, games) and if you have reached a point where you know each other's bodies better than the other! And if at some point the sexual routine intervenes, don't be scared, it's normal, try from time to time to spice up your relationship with an idea or a passionate game!
