How do you know when you love someone or how do you know when someone loves you? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I believe that you know you're in love when you think about how anything you do can hurt your partners feelings and try not to do those things, I think you love someone when you consider their emotions before you do something.

@Tionna123 I love your take on this! Thank you for your input to the thread! ☺️ Do you think letting go is a form of love? I.e. In a situation where one thinks a break-up would make their partner happier in the long run?

yes you have to love your partner enough to be willing to do what’s best for them even if it hurts right now

@ImALittleStuckInPast23 Personally, I think no one has the right to decide about the happiness of his or her partner. It's always a tricky decision, easy to be made by wrong reasoning or bad influences. As the proverb says: ***'s floor is paved with people's good intentions.

@jacek73 That is also very true! We try and do our best - but it might not always be the best decision!! Only the person knows themselves what will make them happy ❤️🙌🏻

Hahaha don't worry! I am subscribed to the relationship stress forum and saw you, and even if I cannot answer your question, I had to interact with you!! I might be about to break up with my bf, I don't know if it will happen. I hope we get to chat again soon, it might be interesting! Don't want to trauma dump or trigger tho 😬😬

I think you know when you love somebody or that somebody loves you is when you or they start doing the small things. The small things that nobody would know off the bat and are things that you have to understand and talk about with your partner. Things like memorizing their favorite drink order or how they like to keep their things arranged.

@cinbaz111 Definitely would agree with this!! When you love some body - you start to become curious about them and wish to make them the happy. 🥰

For me, if you have seen the All American series, the way Spencer treats Olivia is an example for me.

1. He always want to be better for her

2. Emotionally intelligent

3. Vulnerable

When their message or call makes you smile, not on the beginning of the relationship but also after the years. You put down your ego and your self pride to make your partner happy. When you are having any problem you may always run to them . Sense of safety and security is the love.

@lovingLemon8999 I couldn’t agree more with this ❤️ very well said!!!! Apart from the happiness - we may try and help our partners but we aren’t in control of their feelings.. 😔 it may drain us completely to be able to chase someone else’s happiness

@ImALittleStuckInPast23Knowing when you love someone, or when someone loves you, often comes down to deep emotional connections and mutual care. When you love someone, it’s not just about how they make you feel in the moment, but how you feel about their well-being overall. You genuinely care about their happiness and future, sometimes even above your own. You start to think about them as part of your future and actively support their goals and dreams. Love also makes you feel comfortable being vulnerable and open, allowing you to share your true self—your fears, your dreams, your flaws—without fear of rejection. It means you want to be there through both the good times and the bad, offering support when they’re struggling and celebrating their successes. When you love someone, you’re also willing to compromise and grow together, accepting that no relationship is perfect but choosing to work through challenges with them. You might even find that your own growth is intertwined with theirs, and you’re not just focused on what you can get from the relationship but what you can give as well.

When someone loves you, their actions show it in a variety of ways. They make an effort to understand you on a deeper level, to listen to your needs and support your growth. You feel valued and appreciated because they consistently show that they care, not just through big gestures, but in the everyday things—whether it's supporting you when you're struggling or simply checking in to see how you’re doing. They prioritize your happiness, and you’ll notice they put thought into making your life easier or more joyful. Someone who loves you will respect your boundaries, trust you fully, and value you for who you are, not just as a partner, but as an individual. They’ll encourage your independence and celebrate your successes, and when you’re going through difficult times, they’ll be by your side, offering support without judgment. Love is about feeling safe, cherished, and accepted, and when both partners feel this way, it’s usually a sign that love is present.
