Can I trust my girlfriend/boyfriend?
It is normal to worry about your partner's trustworthiness. After all, you don't want to end up being hurt by them.

What keeps a guy in a relationship?
You must remember that relationships are never static. They change over time. If you want to keep your loved ones happy, it is important to ensure that you are always evolving.
You should always be trying to surprise and show your man how much you love him. You should be open to new ways of expressing yourself that you haven't tried before. Accepting his flaws is a part of loving him.
Consider what makes you feel loved. It could be being treated as a princess. Or is it more simple, such as being told you look beautiful every morning? Whatever it may be, you should try to give this to your spouse.
You should not only focus on the material. It is easy to get too attached to buying extravagant gifts for your partner. It's easy to get caught up in buying expensive gifts for your lover. But true love is not measured by how much you spend.
Instead, it's determined by how much your care about them. Care about someone is something that doesn't cost any money.
