DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN LOVE AND LUST IN A RELATIONSHIP


Differentiating between love and lust in a relationship is one of the most challenging situations any partner will ever encounter. The two words start with letter "L" and can be tricky if not careful.

 

While there might not be proof to tell if what you're feeling is love or lust. Understanding these two words with a deeper thought will give you insightful ways to spot the difference.

Follow the steps below to know the difference between love and lust.

 

ON LOVE

●       Undiluted attention between partners

The first difference to notice between love and lust is attention and attraction. It isn't necessarily a physical attention or attraction. There's this non-sexual attraction you will feel towards your partner. You care for your partner even when you know their fault. You stay committed even when they're faraway. That's true love.

 

●       Feeling secure around your partner

One of the things to notice is the security and peace of mind that comes with true love. You are confident that your partner will stand by you through thick and thin. You feel free to share your deepest secrets with them without being scared. That's the feeling that true love brings.

 

ON LUST

●       Thinking about sexual desires

The way you feel when you're in love will be so far different to when you're in lust. When you're in lust, the level of your sexual desires towards your partner is very high. If you're in a relationship, if the only thing you think about in your partner is sex. Then you need to excuse yourself from that type of relationship.

 

●       Insecurity

When you're in lust, your insecurity level is high. When you're  trying to impress your partner. Then you're in lust not love.

Also, watch your level of communication and the way you both handle conflict in your relationship. This will give you a tip if you're in love or lust.
