Do you love without masks or do you like to control your partner's steps? Do you trust or are you constantly tormented by doubts and jealousy? If love is mutual, sincere - trust your partner!
When you love someone, you trust them to make the right decisions. You trust him that when he's alone, he doesn't do anything wrong. You know he doesn't have a secret he's trying to hide from you. And you know I would never betray you. I would never do anything to hurt you.
When you love someone, you don't question their every move. You don't get jealous when he spends time with his friends. You don't become insecure because he is having a good time without you.
When you love someone, you don't try to control their every move. You don't manipulate him into giving you everything you want. You're not trying to be the center of his universe.
When you love someone, you understand that he is - him, just as you are - you. Although they are strong as a couple, they are also strong as individuals. They both have their own lives and rightly so. You don't need to be together 24 hours a day.
Why would you want your lives to overlap in everything? They grow together and as individuals. Everyone is their own person. An individual.
When you love someone, it's important to set boundaries for yourself and your partner and explain your expectations for the relationship. It is important that he knows what you like and what you don't, what you approve of and what you don't, and vice versa. You are his partner. His teammate. A friend. And he yours!
When you love someone, you don't try to control their actions and change them into someone else. You love him exactly the way he is. You shouldn't feel the need to change him into a different version of you that you think is better.
When you love someone, you don't try to control them. They work as a team. His problems are your problems. His sorrow is your sorrow.
And, most importantly, keep the lines of communication open at all times.
