Does Your Significant Other Really Care About You?

[OmegaWolf1349]

Sometimes uncertainty can be a pain in the ass, especially when dirrectly confronting the issue head on. So here is a few simple things I have learned over time to get the answer I am seeking.

01. Hand Reach Test: When you and your significant other are out in public, espically when at a location where people who know you both often visit and could show up any moment. While walking, reach for the hand. It is normal for couples who are in love to be holding hands. (If that hand draws back, and there is something said along the lines of "What are you doing? We don't have to prove anything to the world.") Something is not right.

A: Could be ashamed, but is currently depending on you.

B: Your Significant Other is worried that their other Significant Other might catch them. (The one you don't now about.)

After all, it is simply holding hands. The reason to do it don't need near as much explination as the reason to not do it.

02. If you are the most amazing lover, or the best that anyone could ask for at home together while drinking your morning coffee, is those things still said when friends are over, while out at the hang out spot? (This is a detail you must pay close attention to.)

03. This is not something you rush into right when you just started dating, but if you have been together for at least 2 months, has your significant other went with you to your parents house yet? Still excuses when it comes to meeting the family? (Just say, "I'm going to visit mom/dad/grandparents etc. tommorow, do you want to come?" See if is followed with a sure!, or some BS excuse. (If there is not care in the world/desire to meet your family, they are not taking your relationship seriously.)

04. Getting Serious Attitude and going off over petty stuff.

If you get told off with the tone over something as simple as telling a joke at a party, Talking about one of your passions rather it be music, cars, sports, fishing, cooking, or photography, etc.

It could possibly mean the sugar coat has dissolved and worn thin, and those true colors are getting tired of being confined in it's shell. You could have fallen in love with an act that your Significant Other was playing at to win you over, instead of the person they really are.

(Might want to have a long serious talk or re-evaluate your relationship all together.)

I was way too generous with the gal in mid-to-late 2014. She had no problem interacting with my parents. But for some strange reason, she always had a huge problem with me meeting hers, and always had a BS excuse why I couldn't / shouldn't.

Then there was the day I really did meet her mom. At the store where I worked. That gal never returned to the store, and wouldn't look me in the eye. I met her mom, and that was treated like the penultimate no-no.

Strange little fruitbat, that one was. She also got mad if I didn't play my Facebook games her way.

I'm pretty sure he passed the test lol

Our first date was October 1, 2011. On October 2, my parents had him over for steak. But to be fair, they'd known of his existence since he was six and had met him as my friend when he was twelve. So it wasn't a huge surprise, that when he was sixteen, I introduced him to them as my boyfriend.
