No one is pretending to be something they’re not in “if it’s meant to be, it will be relationships” from the first day forward.
One of you might be a bit more gregarious while the other could be somewhat more subdued, but together the balance is immensely satisfying.
You can share secrets, tell what you might consider wild dreams, admit where you feel you’ve failed, and discuss hopes for the future without fear of judgment because there is safety with your vulnerabilities.
The feeling is mutual that there is a definitive connection and a sense of being “at home” when in the same room.
No one wants to change the other person; instead, accepting and appreciating what is unique. Each person will come with specific habits or things they might do differently.
Without speaking of exclusivity, neither person desires to continue looking for another person to fulfill them.
You don’t need to spend every waking moment with this person. Each of you has your space and enjoys individual activities, friends, extended family time without the other person.
Because you feel so comfortable with each other and the partnership, there is never a time that either of you feels insecure within yourself or with the other person’s feelings for you.
If two people are meant to be together, they should be able to laugh at or with each other in any given situation.
The difference is that each of you will want to put forth an honest effort to find ways to work through those problems and come out healthier and more robust for them.
