How mature love feels like:
1. Mature love understands the concept of ‘me-time’. They don’t invade your personal space. They understand that sometimes people just need a companion, not a listener.
2. Other people have feelings and mature love knows this. They don’t invalidate your feelings or listen to you just for the sake of it, but to understand your point of view, too.
3. Immature love wants drama. Mature love doesn’t. they like to sort things out quietly. and if they’re at fault, they acknowledge, apologise, and work on themselves to be a better person.
4. Immature love doubts the other all the time. “do you love me?”, “where were you?”, “who were you talking to when i called?”
5. Mature love doesn’t need reassurance or explanations. they are patient. They understand the simple truth of love – if there’s no trust, there’s no love.
6. Mature love understands that two people don’t have to end up as one complete person. ‘we’re individuals with different interests, but it doesn’t mean we can’t be together and help each other grow in love.’
7. Immature love will fight with you over late replies, for falling asleep early, and expect you to talk all day. Mature love understands that you’re an independent person with a life of your own.
8. Everyone has a past. Immature love is threatened by your past lovers and strangers. Mature love understands that you’ve a history and they believe in you.
9. Immature couples argue about the things that happened in the past. Mature love fights for the future.
