Don’t know how serious your relationship is? Wonder if it’s going to last? Then take a look at this clear cut signs that’ll tell you if he truly is a long term boyfriend!
10. He remembers the little things …
From exactly how you like your coffee to your desire to find another Raggedy Ann doll, he brings these things up in your conversations because he actually listens to everything you say.
And not only is he paying attention; he’s trying to find ways to realize your desires.
9. He tells you why he can’t accept cheating …
When you have in-depth conversations about relationships, he says a lot of things that you want to hear. It’s when he talks about loyalty, however, that you really begin to appreciate him.
He refers to third parties trying to interfere in the relationship as parasites and goes on and on about how unforgivable cheating is. He makes it clear that that type of betrayal is unacceptable, which puts your mind at ease.
8. He’s a family man …
He’s tight with his own family and cherishes his mom in a healthy way. When it comes to weekends, he’d prefer to hang out with family rather than party up a storm with his friends.
This behavior is indicative of what he foresees in his own future. A man who loves family wants to start one of his own and there’s nothing sexier than a family man.
7. He makes you laugh …
It’s like any other night and the two of you are watching TV in the living room when all of a sudden, he makes a comment about what you’re watching that’s so funny that you spit out your wine.
So when the passion starts to wane somewhat or you’re down in the dumps, this is the man you want to have by your side, making you laugh for all your days.
6. He drops everything when you need him …
If he’s standing atop a mountain getting set to paraglide and you call, crying, and tell him that your dog just died, he’ll hop into his car and make his way to you as quickly as he can.
He’s your rock, your safety net, the one you can rely on when the chips are down. When your man becomes your sanctuary, you know you’ve hit the jackpot.
I can’t say that all these are true. I had a beautiful relationship for 8 years and he never remembered the little things. Everyone is different, they can’t all submit to the same rules, that is what we like about men. They must be different, important thing is that they will be there for you when you need them and show you their feelings with facts not words.
I’ve been missing articles about relationships, so thank you for this one! I can say my boyfriend is a long term boyfriend. We’re together since 2005 and to answer your question I’ll share some things following your list ;) :
10. He SOMETIMES remembers the little things;
9. He really tells me that he can’t accept cheating, and that in our relationship there’s only space for two;
8. Even if he doesn’t feel the need to be with or call his family everyday, and if he does like to party with friends, for him the concept of family is everything and he dreams a lot about having his own family.
7. Maybe humour is not one of the best qualities I find in him, but he makes me laugh, and his laugh is amazing!
6. He’s always there when I need him.
5. :)
4. He’s very sensitive, yet he knows how to make me strong when I’m feeling fragile.
3. He’s honest, but he sure says things just to please me when he wants something.
2. We spend a lot of time together.
1. Here I may disagree with you, because sometimes he lets me know when I’m wrong and gently tries to make me understand it. I don’t feel stupid, but I grow everytime he does it: it’s not good to have your boyfriend supporting you when you’re saying a great mistake ;) And also we both may disagree in public, I may be with a group of people arguing that the world is flat and he may be saying that the world is square =p It’s all about how you do it!
