7 signs you have a good partner:
1. They handle conflict maturely
Name calling, gaslighting, ridiculing, and physical abuse isn’t something you deal with. When you’re in disagreement they don’t put you down or behave aggressively. They talk respectfully, calmly and openly.

4. Talking to them is easy
They allow you to be vulnerable and they don’t throw your vulnerabilities in your face or expose your deepest secrets. They listen when you speak – not just to hear, but also to understand. They also encourage you to talk about yourself.

5. You spend time apart and have lives outside your relationship

6. They’re considerate and willing to compromise
Your relationship doesn't revolve around them alone. They understand the meaning of a 'partnership' and that your needs matter too. When compromise may be required, they evaluate all options and not just the ones to suit them.

7. You feel loved
They regularly express their love and affection using their own love language. They also try their best to love you how you like to be loved. As a result, you feel appreciated and treated like a priority, not taken for granted and treated like an option.
