2. You accompany each other during unpleasant stuff.
Look, anybody can show up for the magical moments, but someone who loves you will hold your hand during the stuff neither of you want to do. And I don’t mean metaphorically, either.
The difference in a partner saying, “I’m here for you” and physically being there for you is tremendous. Whether it’s attending the funeral of an estranged relative, getting a scary medical procedure, or even something banal like a company party with coworkers you don’t really like, a partner who loves you will join you for moral support when you ask without trying to weasel out of it.
