Is the love in your relationship real, or fake?
If it is, all you should do is keep growing the love, keep staying truthful to each other, keep drinking a lot of water, and just keep treating each other in all the good ways that will allow the relationship thrive further.
On the flipside, fake love is not something anyone would want to live with. Sadly, it is exactly what some people have in their relationships. If the relationship is based on anything different from a genuine willingness to see the other person flourish in every sense of the word, if it is based on something fleeting and temporary, then it is likely fake.
To really know that the love in your relationship is fake, here are some things you may want to watch out for:

1. Theyâre emotionally distant
In a relationship, fakers have a tendency to be non-communicative. Theyâll provide little to no substance to whatâs going on in their life. Theyâll also make excuses why they âcouldnâtâ communicate especially when it is a little difficult to do so.
The difference between them and someone with genuine love for you is the extra effort needed to reach out when itâs not so easy.

2. Always willing to throw in the towel
Conflict happens in every relationship. It demonstrates a level of care which partner have for one another.
That said, every conflict demands a resolution.If youâre the only one trying to resolve any conflict or problems that arise, itâs often a telltale sign of emotional detachment and this of course, is a major sign youâll find in people who have got only fake love for you.
They really wonât care whether the relationship works or fails.
3. They donât meet you halfway
Are you always the one to plan things? Check on the other person? Take responsibilities and all that? If so, what concessions, if any, is your partner making? Whereâs the effort on their part?
Relationship and compromise are like two peas in a pod. A lack of effort is a universal sign of disinterest â and a relationship is no different.

4. Unconcern
An authentic relationship sparks feelings of passion for each other. Youâll be curious, concerned, involved, etc in all that the other person does.
Someone who continuously acts indifferent isnât engaged, likely detached, and unfit â not to mention unworthy â of a real relationship.
5. That gut feeling
Many times, when someone doesn't really love you, you will know. Thereâs usually that sixth sense, that gut feeling in the pit of your stomach that keeps pricking you.
Add this to all the signs that you will see, and the picture is clear that this babe or that guy doesn't really love you. Theyâre only with you because they have no option, or for the money or some other fake reason.
Be honest with yourself. Are you wasting your time? Money? Energy?
