Does your partner seem like the kind of person who will drop everything and help you when itâs really important?

4.Unhealthy comparison
Is your partner comparing your body or something about you to another person? Does she or he wan't you to alter something you have always been? Your partner doesnât make you feel good about your body; they point out your thinning hair or saggy underarm skin.

I donât think we should choose our boyfriends or husbands based on our family and friendsâ opinions, but I do think we should take their opinions into consideration! If your family or friends have strong reservations about your partner, I encourage you to ask for specific reasons. Find out the root of their feelings, and try to be objective.
