14 Subtle Signs You’re in a Healthy Relationship

From behavior in quarrels to attention to detail.

Recently, the media has been talking more and more about the signs of a toxic relationship - which, of course, is useful and important. A much sweeter thread appeared on Reddit: users asked what actions and gestures show that you have a good and healthy relationship. The discussion turned to more than 10 thousand comments - and our VeronikaLove! team collected the most popular answers for you.

1. You are comfortable when you are silent alone with each other.

2. If you both hate a household chore, you do it together.

3. It doesn't matter how angry you are at a loved one at a particular moment - you will still make every effort to help if he needs it.

4. Support in achieving each other's goals, even if it means that you have to meet at a distance for a while, or your work schedules will not match, or any other obstacles that may appear in your relationship because of this decision.

5. When you drive somewhere for a long time and sit behind the wheel, and your partner occasionally feeds you or gives you coffee through a straw so that you can recuperate without being distracted from the road.

6. Understanding that you can discuss something that could escalate into a fight - and don't be afraid that this will end your relationship. It is a very healthy thing to understand that you do not agree with your partner on everything, to discuss these things and resolve conflicts without feeling that everything is at stake.

7. When a partner takes criticism from you seriously, and does not immediately try to turn it in your direction. If this can be said about both of you, such a relationship has every chance to last a long time.

8. You like the person you become in this relationship. We behave differently around different people, and if you don't like how you behave around your loved one, chances are you have work to do.

9. The ability to hear, not just listen. Comment on what you have to say, offer advice if needed, and generally be involved in the conversation. Bonus: same ability, but during a quarrel. When a person tries not to win, but to understand the problem.

10. You are aware of and respect each other's taste preferences and allergies.

11. When your partner remembers the little things and does something for you that you didn't even ask for.

12. You recommend a book, movie, or TV series, and the person actually reads or watches it.

13. It's the little things you do to please each other without expecting or demanding anything in return.

14. When a person tries to make time for you.
