8. You can’t imagine your future without him.
If you have a boyfriend, and you feel as though you can trust him with your life, it’s not uncommon to picture a future with him. For God’s sake you even see the future just looking into his eyes. It’s a magical feeling. You go to bed and dream of the day he proposes to you. You think of what your vows will be, how many children you want, what their names will be, and what genders you’re striving for. You also tend to daydream about living together in a house with 10 cats and cooking every meal together, going to bed late and cuddling up in the cold winter, and even doing the boring stuff like paying bills and going shopping for appliances. It’s all normal.
9. When you guys fight, you fear the worst.
When you and your boyfriend fight, it’s the worst. It leaves you with a pit in your stomach, it leaves you feeling like you’re going to throw up, it leaves you with the feeling like your heart just got ripped out and stomped on. It’s completely normal to fear the worst when you guys fight. It’s okay for your emotions to go haywire and start to overthink. You know it’s true, you think things like “omg he’s going to leave me”, “omg is he going to realize I’m not enough?”, “I hope he doesn’t give up on me.”
