If a guy spends every waking moment with you does he love yo
Question Posted Monday October 22 2007, 8:53 pm
My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 months. During the school year last year and this year we saw each other every weekend (both Saturday and Sunday) and still do. In the summer, he had a job, but when he had to work I would see him before and after he worked, and on the days he didn't go to work I was with him all day. We saw each other every single day in the summer unless we had to go on a family vacation (and even then I brought him on one once). I feel like he gives up everything for me. Does that mean he really does love me?
I will point out that spending all of your time with someone isn't often an ingredient in a successful long-term relationship. It's great to enjoy being with someone and plan to spend time with them, but both people also need outside interests. This helps keep some spark in the relationship, as well as allowing you to continue to develop as individuals AND as a couple.
Someone should't give up everything for someone else. Compromise is the name of the game. While it can make us feel loved and secure to have someone want to spend so much time with us, it's also important to look at the give-and-take of the relationship overall.

I would say yes, just because he IS giving up a lot for you, and he has done a lot for you. But love isn't just sacrifice. It's also being able to stand the bad things in a person. If he can love you even with all the bad things you have done and all the little things that you do that would bug him, then you have proof he loves you. Talk to him...ask him what he would change about your relationship if he could. Ask him what he doesn't like, and don't let him answer nothing...if he does he's lying... I hope I helped, and remember, my inbox is always open. Rate if you want, but you don't have to. Thanks. [ deathwillcome's advice column | Ask deathwillcome A Question ]
