After the euphoria of the early days subsides, you will settle down into a stable relationship with your partner. This is when you will start wondering about the longevity of your partnership.
No one enters a relationship thinking that it will not last. We all fall in love with someone we meet and want the relationship to last forever. But being realistic, you know that this is not always true.
Many relationships fail and partners break up for all kinds of reasons. So, it is natural that you wonder whether he will always love you. You may want to know whether he will never forget you or leave you.
At this point in the relationship, it is of no use asking your partner how much he loves you or how much you mean to him. Most probably, he is not aware of his true feelings for you yet as passion has clouded his emotions. This applies to you too. You may think you love this guy and want to spend the rest of your life with him. But you may realize later that he is not the one for you.

A healthy relationship is one in which partners prioritize each other in all respects.
