question

When did you know you were in love vs just comfortable?

Jasmine Williams · November 22, 2025

I've been with my partner for a year and I can't figure out if what I feel is love or just comfort/routine. He's kind, reliable, and we get along great. But I don't feel that "butterflies" feeling everyone talks about. Is that even real after the honeymoon phase? When did you KNOW it was love and not just convenience?

      Can we normalize having high standards?? This isn't being picky, it's having self-respect.

        This really resonated with me. Going through something so similar right now.
