Some relationships last forever, but not all relationships consist of two people in easy love. The reality is that you can love someone who isn’t perfect for you. You can even love someone who’s toxic and damaging. The key to being happy in your relationship is finding a love that can last a lifetime — an easy love. Look for someone like this.
- Someone you feel confident around Not only do you feel confident in the relationship but also in who you are as a person. A huge part of easy love is being with someone who makes you feel beautiful, strong, and capable. You should feel more confident with them than you ever did without.
- Someone who makes you feel needed There are billions of people in the world. Who cares? You should still feel like you’re irreplaceable to your partner. Obviously there are people they could be with, but you have something no one could ever give them. That’s why you’re together in the first place.
- Someone you can be your unfiltered self with You are who you are, and who you are is messy, loud, and sometimes self-centered. You’re comfortable enough to show every personality (you have several) to your partner, and guess what? They’re still right beside you. No matter how annoying or stressful you are, their love doesn’t waver.
- Someone who reassures you You know how they feel because they show you every single day. They communicate, show-up, and actually make you feel like a priority. Even when you’re simply standing next to them, you feel their admiration. Your love is easy because no one needs to ask for constant reassurance.
- Someone who helps you heal They’re not healing you from past heartache, they’re helping you heal yourself. Your past relationships were full of hard love. You always doubted your partner and never felt appreciated. Now you do, which is why you can look at your past relationships and see how damaging they really were.
- Someone that lets you focus elsewhere Their love makes you feel calm. You’re able to put your attention elsewhere because you feel so secure in your relationship. Instead of spending every second with your partner, you take on extra projects at work and spend time nurturing other relationships. Your life doesn’t revolve around your partner and that’s important.
- Someone who doesn’t make you jealous You’re both confident in your relationship, which is why neither of you starts drama for the hell of it. There might be moments of jealousy, but you both know how to communicate with one another so nothing spirals out of control.
- Someone who supports you Whether you want to move out of the country or start a new business, they support you. Sure, they might ask questions and express their concerns, but at the end of the day, you know they’re on your side no matter what you decide.
- Someone who doesn’t keep secrets Neither of you keeps harmful secrets. That’s not to say you don’t have secrets. We all do, but they’re small, insignificant, and more importantly, not deal-breaking. That’s a big reason why your love is so easy. You never second guess each other.
- Someone who doesn’t talk badly about you They don’t talk about you, they talk about all the great things you’re doing. They might discuss your successes and what you have planned, but they won’t drag your ideas or make fun of you. Easy love means you’re with someone that respects you and your privacy.
- Someone you want to be better for They make you want to be the best version of yourself. Their unlimited support and a positive outlook go a long way. You don’t feel forced to change, you feel welcomed to grow and become a better person for them and for yourself.
- Someone who makes life easier They talk through problems with you and won’t stop talking until you’ve found a resolution. You don’t feel like it’s you against the world. You feel like you have a partner in life. Someone who listens to your problems and stands with you even when the universe takes a massive dump on your plans.
- Someone you trust completely You can say anything without fear they’ll use your words against you. That’s what easy love looks like. You don’t freak out when they take time responding to your calls or go out with their friends. You know without a doubt that they love you and would never intentionally hurt you, which is why you trust them with your heart.
