Hey guys 

I was just wondering how do you know if a relationship is working? Because me and my gf were happy I think but I'm not sure how to tell if it's working because I have no experience in this kind of thing so I'm not sure I mean we haven't broken up that's one thing right? I really could use your guys help because I want it to work 

Sorry if that didn't make sense I just really want to know

    Hey :)

    Good question, it's not easy to tell, and not like we've got a metre or test to let us know how things go! I think the main thing to ask yourself is whether you feel your girlfriend makes your life better in your opinion - do you feel happier? do you spend time together and enjoy yourselves? do you fight a lot?. Sometimes, taking stock and just checking in with ourselves can be really valuable :)

    Much love <3

    @Azziman she does make me happy and my life better surprisingly we haven't actually had a fight recently it's just I'm scared I'm gonna end up doing to her what I did to my ex who won't leave me alone about me breaking up with her heck this was ages ago so we're talking January 2020 and she just won't stop I'm just scared and I really am struggling because after what happened with my ex I really didn't want a relationship and now I've got some one it's just insanely hard to keep on top of everything and I'm struggling with depression so it's even harder to think that we are together but I'll be sure to let let you know how things go!

    so sorry to hear about what ur going through. but i think it’s not fair to compare your current girlfriend with your ex because they’re obviously different people. but i think you should try to talk to your girlfriend about it, have you tried that? let us know how it goes!!!
