How can you tell if a relationship is making you grow or go backwards?

Are there major signs

I think that a good relationship with your partner will have love, blessings, prosperity, joy and happiness. You will both do good, not just one person elevating in the relationship/marriage you'll both be doing great things together.

And as the woman or wife unless you're a stay at home Mom with the kids, you can also find work to do from the house even if the Man/Husband takes care of you and the family, sometimes we still want our own money. A happy blossoming relationship will always transpire into great things and a happy home, you just can't loose sight of communication and date night.

Being stressed out all the time is the only thing that leads to old habits meaning somebody isn't paying attention to their better half. If Adam wouldn't have left Eve alone for so long, she wouldn't have never been persuaded to bite that Apple 🍎. A awesome relationship isn't a one way street, it takes two to make a thing go right 🕺🏾💃🏾

If you can’t tell whether you’re moving forwards or backwards you need therapy….

we are always growing but the problem is if they make you do things you feel guilty for. i had a guy pressure me to ride a bus with him but both not pay... that would be pulling me backwards to bad or other influence to be too selfish so i end those frendships.

Kind of like playing rigged poker game. 10 minutes in, if you don't know who the mark is, it's you!

She's not supposed to make your life hard, she's supposed to make your dick hard.

The magic of love, darling, can either be a rocket fuel propelling you to the stars or a sneaky chain pulling you back into old habits. Recognizing whether you're in a glow-up or a slow-down romance is all about the vibes you're catching and the paths you're taking.

You'll know you're in a blossoming love tale if you find yourself chasing after those dreams more passionately, embracing the quirks that make you *you*, and feeling like the superhero in your own story. It's all about feeling supported, finding mutual inspiration, and seeing those personal milestones not just as yours but as "ours."

On the flip side, if the soundtrack of your relationship has more warning bells than wedding bells, it's time to tune in. You might notice you're ditching those grand plans for the future, recycling not-so-great habits, or losing a little bit of that spark that makes you, well, sparkly.

In essence, a growth-driven relationship has you strutting towards your personal goals with a little extra glitter in your step, while a backward-bound romance might feel like you're walking the plank in lead boots. Keep an eye on your compass, love, and make sure you're navigating towards the stars!

For one, I've had to grow all on my own (romantic singleness) lol. Ice only learnt from me, trial and error, and my lifestyle. No 'partner' ever taught me or grew me. Lol 😆 🤣

And without bitterness, you end up at 30s before I knew it, and I have no qualms, I managed to survive my 20s ongoing without an STd, STI, HPV/HIV or even a pregnancy or worse. So hooray me 🎉😄 I'm doing better than 98 percent others out there 😆

It really is lucky me. And I should give myself that appreciation more often, that indeed, on that one, I am better than others.

Who could argue I'm wrong? Rhetorically, me about me. 🫡😋
