Are You Wondering If Your Boyfriend Truly Loves You?


It is common in relationships for a little doubt to creep in from time to time. At times you may find yourself wondering whether or not your boyfriend truly loves you.

You may try to dismiss the question from your mind and think you are being quite silly, then something occurs - or fails to occur - and you find yourself returning to this same question. Does he really love you? Perhaps these four simple questions can help you settle the question once and for all.

When you gaze into his eyes, does he look straight into your eyes? While gazing romantically into one another's eyes can be a demonstration of your love for each other, it is not fool proof. Yes, his ability to gaze lovingly into you eyes can demonstrate his devotion to you. Likewise, a beau that can not seem to look you in the eyes could be deceptive - or just bashful. There are certainly instances whether his averting his eyes reveals an overwhelming love and attraction. You really need to interpret how he reacts to you based upon his personality.

Does he show you respect? This is a much more concrete sign of whether or not he truly loves you. Is he honest and open with you? Does he value your input and opinions? Are you his confidante on a wide range of matters? Do you support each other through life's challenges and obstacles? Respect can be shown in a multitude of ways and your guy should be showing your much respect if he really is in love with you.

Does he make time for you? In our hectic world, there never seems to be enough time in the day. We are continually juggling our schedules - deleting this and moving that. The question is: Are you the one getting deleted and moved around?

While there are sometimes that it is really is an unavoidable conflict, taking the back seat on his schedule too often can be an unconscious signal that he really does not love you. It is at the least a subject that you need to bring to his attention. Give him a chance to mend his ways and show you he really loves you and just got caught up in things.

Does he remember those special, romantic days? Does he still remember the special days you share from anniversaries to birthdays. Does he do his best to make you feel special at these times? His track record on these special days can give you an insight into his heart.


While these four questions can help you resolve the question that has been troubling you, always keep in mind that they are only a guide. You must interpret them and apply them to your guy. You know your boyfriend better than anyone else. You must use your powers of discernment to ultimately determine whether or not his love is yours and only use these questions as a helpful guide.

Whatever the underlying problems, they need to be recognized - and resolved - by both of you. Do not hesitate to seek help and educational. Yours is not the first marriage to experience this harsh blow.

It may be helpful to think of this as a new, fresh relationship as you move forward. Maybe you need to begin at the beginning and get to know each other as you did when you were dating. There is hope for your marriage if you are determined to work together and save it.

Relationship Advice - Breakups Are Never Easy - How You Can Avoid Them



Whether you are the one initiating the breakup or the unfortunate one that is receiving the bad news, breaking up never is easy. When a relationship that once held high hopes and passion comes to a close it hurts to think of all the time and effort you spent in building the relationship. A broken relationship can leave you dealing with guilt, anger, depression or any of a number of negative emotions.

There are countless ways a relationship can unravel and come to an end. People change or they fail to change. When you are in a relationship, it is constantly evolving. It may be getting better or it may be getting worse. A relationship can crumble due to neglect or it can become suffocated by too much attention. Sometime two people just realize it is time to call it quits and mutually end the relationship on good terms.

While this paints a dismal picture, rest assured that not all relationships end up on the scrap heap. While all relationships are a challenge in one way or another, there are countless matches that have withstood the tests of time. There are just as many relationships that have endured their trails and ended up stronger than ever.

If you find your relationship on rocky shores, take stock. Decide whether it is time to call it quits or re-double your efforts to strengthen the union. Do not give up on a relationship too easily. They say "It is always darkest before the dawn", you know?

If you do decide to try and get back together after a break up, there are a few time tested rules you would be wise to follow. Probably the most important thing is to approach your ex from a strong position. Do not beg and grovel. Hold your head high. You should look strong and attractive to your ex. You want to get back together with a solid foundation for your future.

Another helpful strategy is to begin the relationship as a fresh one. Don't pick up the relationship from where it ended. Consider this a new relationship where you both need to win over each others affections anew. Many floundering relationships can be saved if only you avoid the common mistakes made by others. By having a game plan and following a course that gives you the best chance of happily getting back together, you can make your relationship better than ever.
