There are actually plenty of indicators within a relationship that can tell you whether it’s going to be built to last or not. There are just certain traits, habits, and characteristics, that one would typically find within these strong and happy relationships. There are certain consistencies and patterns that are present in the couples who have the capacity to go all the way. It’s just that a lot of people tend to overlook these feelings out of absent-mindedness or just plain ignorance of what these signs might be.
And what ends up happening is these people might take their loving partners and near-perfect relationships for granted. You would never want that to happen to you. You would never want your partner to feel like you don’t value and appreciate them; that you’re not grateful for them and thankful for your relationship. That’s why you want to be able to distinguish whether what you have with someone is something special or not.
If a lot of these signs apply to you and your partner, then rejoice, you are lucky enough to have found your forever person.

I guess I have found the one. My
Story is crazy. We met in 1980 & were together until 1988. Even lived overseas for a year together. Split up & my heart was broken for a few years & I thought I’d never have closure. Both got married & raised kids. Found each other again 25 years later on FB & emailed (platonically) for 13 years. My marriage ended after 23 years ( infidelity on the defendants part). In June of this year my soul mate came to see me & told me he too was divorced & that his 30 year marriage was a nightmare. I had no idea @ this during our entire 13 years of emailing family updates & arguing about politics. We had dinner & he came from Va to NY to see me for 5 months. I retired from the film business & now live in Va w/ the ❤️ of my life & my true soulmate at age 67.Why did this happen? Who knows. Right person wrong time. The clock of life as I call it. If you aren’t both aligned it won’t work.
They divorce you after 39 years of being a phony. As soon as I retired and didn’t take 6 figures home anymore, she dumped me. All my money is in her business. There are no true relationships.
