How do you know if you found your true love?

At age you could feel he was the love you've always wanted and the two of you fit so well together.

Then seven years later he died suddenly. Your heart is broken 💔 and the love is broken too.

Without hearing "I love you, you're my girl" anymore it's hard to decipher to know if you found true love then it's gone in one day. And you're trying to remember all the things that made it true love, but you just can't remember all the things you need to make a resounding yes answer.

The other person is prepared to go through hell-on-earth for you.
You see him/her constantly choosing to put your interests first.
He/She introduces you to the family, but makes sure to let the family (mother-in-law included) understand to NOT come between the two of you.
And he/she keeps fighting for you even after an argument.

Ofcourse all the things mentioned above should go both ways. You should do also the same back.

The story about "true love" and "love at first sight" and "lived happily ever after", well those are just fairy tales.
In real life, two persons bump into each other and at a certain point they both start fighting for each other for the rest of their lives.

I don't think true love exist, just bieng real it's really what you are able to put up with is worth it. Cause you could start out perfect an end horrible or start out bad an end on fair terms life is wicked like that it's best you love an if it doesn't work keep trying until you get it right. But don't let one bad relationship stop you.

Usually we’re just able to narrow things down to the type of person we like and then see who sparks a little something extra. The one who sparks the most within us is the one we try to end up with… but that’s not always how things work out. So I wouldn’t say “one true love” (were not characters in Princess Bride), but there’s a “top 5” or “top 10” list we try to pick from as we encounter people to whine we’re attracted. (As we can see form divorce and breakup rates, it’s not a perfect science.)

I have some suggestions that may help you deel with this situtation below:

You Feel Deeply Connected: Beyond just common interests or attraction, there's a profound emotional link. It's like being seen and understood without having to explain yourself.

Respect Flows Both Ways: True love is grounded in mutual respect. You value each other’s opinions and dreams, treating one another with kindness and understanding.

They're Your Biggest Cheerleader: In true love, your partner is a steadfast supporter, encouraging you in your endeavors and standing by you in tough times.

Your Values Align: While it’s okay to disagree sometimes, sharing core values and similar life goals can be a sign that your relationship has the legs to last.

Being Yourself is Easy: With the right person, you don’t have to put on an act. You feel comfortable and relaxed, able to be yourself in all your quirky glory.

You Face Challenges Together: Challenges are inevitable, but working through them together can make your relationship even stronger.

Laughter is Abundant: Life isn’t always easy, but with them, there’s a lot of joy and laughter. You really enjoy being together, whether you're out on an adventure or just lounging at home.

You Inspire Each Other: True love isn't just about being happy together; it’s about growing together. Your partner inspires you to be your best self.

These pointers might help you figure out if what you have is truly meaningful. Remember, though, the most important thing is how you feel in your heart about your relationship. Trust your instincts—they're often your best guide.

True love? Going by what the story of Easter tells us... That's when You are capable of deliberately make the decision to literally die for someone. In case of love between humans, this capability should be mutual.

Thus, the short answer is: You don't.

[electromagnetic]

It looks different for everyone.

I knew my husband was the one for me when I said “you give me butterflies” and he said “I wanna give you babies instead”

[Anonymous]

When you will feel loved without doubt and when you will feel it easy to love someone and when being that person will truly makes you feel happy genuinely then you would know that's your true love. When you can love someone with true self and when that person also being true to you. That's true love. But... It's very rare and very difficult to get. Because love gets tested and there people fail most of time.

[itsclearlynicholas]

I don't buy into true love. I'd rather any future romances be more like a woman who really likes me, just not like she's obsessed

[Nikki1989]

Just because your love life has failed doesn't make it the case for everybody else.

[Yoursweetgirl]

I think you don't. I believe you should just tell yourself if this relationship is worth time and work and if it is, then you found your true love

[SolitarySolace]

Oh god... More of this bullshit... Can people just stop with this true love bullshit the real world isn't a Disney movie

[CalmUntilAbused]

OK, so I'd prefer to do something about it. Any ideas of Yours?

[SolitarySolace]

Vote republican in elections. They're the only ones enacting policies that are fixing things like Desantis doing away with alimony in Florida for example

[CalmUntilAbused]

Oh, I'm not an American. Also, how will the election of a certain administration affect the society on a more global scale? If the society was all right and proper itself, no corrupt administration could degrade it - it would not elect such a corrupt administration in the first place. Looks like democracy is out of the window, there's no stopping this degradation in a democratic way. What to do in this kind of situation?

[SolitarySolace]

You have any ideas? Or are we just meant to suffer and deal with it? I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of suffering

[CalmUntilAbused]

Well... I do, but I'd get a free hit from some three-letter-agency drone if I shared most of them openly. As for those I can freely share... We shall gang up with like-minded individuals, both locally, in our neighborhoods, and globally, on the internet (including the Dark Net if the "clear" net locks us out). Include as many Women of Goodwill as possible. As shallow as it might sound, we need women for our continued survival, and they need us to shield them from the corrupt society. Then... Form tight-knit communities defying official law and "order" through self-sustainance and a significant kinetic defensive capabilities. Once this is accomplished, simply outlive the madness.

[CalmUntilAbused]

Unfortunately, some hardships are inevitable. The truth is, we've lost our freedom, our independence, and taking them back takes sacrifice. However, the choice ie either to die standing or live our lives on our knees. Now, if You choose to die standing, You might be one of those who will leave to see Your freedom reclaimed, and if You decide to get on Your knees, You'll definitely live and die a slave.

[SolitarySolace]

Be sure to include me in the process! I don't want to end up a slave

[CalmUntilAbused]

Do I sound like a rebel leader? I mean... Posts on the internet are cheap and I'm not exactly the charismatic type... Though I'm perfectly fine with staying closer in touch if that could lead to the birth of some true hope for humanity.

not to be so negative, but realistically there is no ONE true love.

[LiamJHayden]

When the other person stays faithful till one of you dies.

[Chelsdope0]

True love does not exist

[Nikki1989]

Just because your love life has failed doesn't make it the case for everybody else.

[Chelsdope0]

Then where is yours and why are you asking?

[Anonymous]

TIME will tell.

[spicythunder]

I think we feel it.
