 We all want that fairy tale ending in life, but it looks different for everyone. Some of us seek a lifelong partner who is bold, adventurous, and free-spirited. Others may yearn for someone they can settle down with and start a family. Wondering if you're with the right person? Here are seven signs that they're a keeper. 1. You can have fun even doing mundane tasks. Is grocery shopping 100 times better with them around? What about lazy Sundays staying in and doing the laundry? Relationships aren't always about going on exciting dates. Chores have to be done and bills need to be paid. When you and your partner can divvy up responsibilities equally, it goes to show they know when to be serious, understand that life isn't all play and they care about your lifestyle balance. 2. There is no abuse or manipulation involved. A good, solid relationship is built on a foundation of trust. But when one partner is not being honest with the other, they're not respecting your affection and you as an individual. Whether it's through physical or mental abuse, the individual would rather attack the other person first before getting hurt or abandoned as a defense mechanism. If your partner, however, doesn't stoop to these low, toxic behaviors, then they're not just keepers but respectable people. 3. They're willing to work on their mistakes. That normal relationship doesn't involve fighting, but it's how two people can work things out that sets apart sustainable relationships from disintegrating ones. Does your partner apologize when they've done something wrong and goes the extra mile to make it up to you? When they practice humility and make the effort to self-reflect, it shows that they're dependable and willing to grow. 4. They remember the little things about you. Over time, it's easy to get comfortable with your partner and not pay as much attention to them as you did when you first started dating them. But if they're still making the effort to remember things like your favorite snacks or what you prefer to do on a bad day, it's not just endearing but thoughtful. 5. They encourage you to be independent. Who doesn't like to do cute coupley things? But maybe you've been spending a lot of time with your partner and have neglected to catch up with your friends and family. Does your partner remind you to fulfill your social life outside of your relationship when they allow you the freedom to maintain strong relations with others? It shows they aren't just selfishly keeping you to themselves. They care about your happiness as an individual. 6. They don't hold grudges against you for too long. It's easy to stay mad at someone after they've upset you. But if your partner has the skills to work past their emotions, practices empathy and focuses on problem solving, it means they care more about making things work instead of watching them fall apart. 7. You have never been happier than you are right now. Finally, here's the most important question. Does this person make you the happiest you've ever been? When you're with the right person, they don't make you feel like you have to compete for their attention. Nor do they ever make you feel incompetent, small or unappreciated. Even on the bad days, you know you can always count on them to be there for you. What's your favorite thing about your partner? If you're single, what does your ideal relationship look like?
