How do you know when your with the right person? I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years now and I love him very much. Its just hard to picture myself being with him for the rest of my life. We get along great. We are each others bestfriends. We've been living with each other for about a year now and living with him is easy. He takes care of me and helps me out so much. I haven't been able to keep a steady job since I've moved to be with him, so he's been paying all the bills. He also tries to help me with my job situation all the time too. We live near his family. My family lives about 4 hours away and I barely see them. I'm not that close to my family anyways but its hard not being able to just visit my mother when its her birthday or when its my nieces birthday. I've completely uprooted my life for him and I'm the type of person that hates change too. Lately I've been feeling like my life is going no where. I'm not doing what I want to do with my life, but then again not too many other people are. I don't want to leave my boyfriend because I feel that if I do I might regret it and moving away from here and then moving back isn't an option for me. My boyfriend isn't the romantic type at all. I miss being romanced and given flowers to for no reason. Is it possible to have a relationship where someone is everything you want? Or do you have to pick and choose which characteristics you want the most? How do you know if your in the right relationship or if I'm doing what I should be with my life right now?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It's not envy, it does not boast, it's not proud, it's not rude, it's not self seeking,it's not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust,always hope, always perseveres. Love never fails." This verse characterize true love. These qualities can be found in all truly loving relationship. Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on what we feel. Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead true action..that is true Love Hope this will help you...
