mr right?

Smash and her man are at a little bit of an impasse, a bump in the road, and she called last night in tears and I couldn't help. I hate that I can't make it better for her, talk her off the ledge, give her advice. I however, am NOT the person to give relationship advice at this stage in my life. I did remember an article that helped me out in the last few weeks and thought I would share.

A few weeks ago when things were so up and down with DH and I was struggling with whether we should power through or walk away I signed online and in the streaming headlines was "10 Ways to Tell if He is the One"...oooh a sign, maybe it's a test, I'm good at tests...so I clicked on it. Usually those things leave me disappointed and wondering who writes that crap, but this one was different. It actually made a lot of sense, and it helped me to realize my relationship was not a good one.

Here it is lady, maybe it will help:

Here are 10 ways to tell if he is Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong:

1. You absolutely know he wants you as much as you want him. If it's right, your feelings of love are reciprocal and mutual and not one-sided.

2. He walks into a room, and you just have to smile. You can't help it! And when you look at him, he's smiling at you.

3. You do kind and sweet things for each other just because you want to and not because you feel you have to. Doing them makes you both feel good -- and special.

4. You are very secure in the relationship. There is no need for jealousy or suspicion. This is a drama-free zone. No one plays games or secretly tests the other.

5. He likes you for who you are and doesn't want to change you. Not only does he not make you feel bad about yourself, but also he boosts your self-esteem.

6. Life isn't perfect. You've had your ups and downs, but through it all, you have remained together with the relationship unshaken.

7. He has good friends, and you like who he is when he spends time with them.

8. He does not try to have power over you. There is absolutely no violence in the relationship.

9. He doesn't pressure you to do things you don't want to do.

10. The religious and personal beliefs, life goals and interests that make you different don't push you apart.
