🩷What kind of feeling..."This is the right man."

What kind of feeling..."This is the right person."

In the corner of a 28-year-old woman who's been dating her boyfriend for seven years. 🤍

1. Don't guess if he loves it.

It used to be, like texting and analyzing every answer, what does he type "Um" mean? Is he silent for two hours? Is he out of love? 😅

But the right person is not to guess

He makes it known by action every day.

2. Stay comfortable, more than excited.

As a child, I thought that love always pounded.

Growing up, I just knew that having someone who was with me felt comfortable. Eating quietly was happy. This one is much rarer.

3. Can fight but do not win

Which couple said never quarrel? We secretly wondered a little. 😂

For the past seven years, there has been touchy, there has been controversy, there has been frustration.

But in the end, the goal is to solve the problem, not defeat the other.

4. Can really be yourself

The date is not yet close. We have our version.

But after a long time, he saw everything, fresh faces, bent over, hungry and swung.

And he's still here.

5. Small things. He still thinks of us.

Walk through the store and buy your favorite things.

Saw what we liked and sent pictures

Maybe not a big deal at all.

But made it known that we were always in his mind.

6. When you encounter a problem, you feel that you have the same team.

Real life is not just sweet.

There's work, money, family.

But the right person will not make us feel the need to carry everything alone.

7. Plan the future and have him in it.

It's not like dreaming about a wedding every day. 😂

But when thinking about the future,

We will automatically miss him too.

Like he's already become a part of life.

8. Tired day. He's a safe area.

Some days the world has been playing all day.

Come back and talk to one person who doesn't judge us.

Just listening helps more than I thought.

9. Love may not whiz like the first day.

No more butterflies fly in the stomach every day.

But there's unredeemable stability.

And seriously, this comfort is more valuable.

So much excitement.

10. The right person may not be the one who makes the heart beat the most.

But it's the people who keep us from worrying.

To lose him all the time.

Already with calm heart

And feel like, "Go home."

They've been dating for seven years. The most learned thing is...

The right person doesn't mean no problem.

Doesn't mean everything's compatible.

But those who are in trouble still choose to shake hands to solve, rather than to let go.

This is just the opinion of a 28-year-old girl. 🤍

But if you ask what good love looks like...

For us, it's always more comfort than excitement.
