Respect is an essential part of a relationship. Your partner shows you that they respect you not only by how they act but also by how they speak to you. They respect you, your family, and your friends and would never want to do something that would make you feel embarrassed.

According to Choosing Therapy, “Flirting that crosses either person’s relationship boundaries repeatedly can negatively affect the couple in many ways.” This is why your partner never flirts with other women. His attention is always on you and no one else. He’s completely captivated by you.

He yields

He listens

You know you’ve found your other half if the person you’re with loves to listen to you. They ask you questions and listen to your opinions. They want to know what’s bothering you, how you’re feeling, and what they can do to help you. And you listen to them too.

He remembers important dates
