Are You With the Right Person or Settling?
Written by Anjali Prajapati (former JCP therapist)

In the journey of love, it’s natural to wonder if the person by your side is truly the right fit—or if you’ve settled for comfort. Choosing a life partner is one of the most important decisions we make, and self-reflection is key to gaining clarity. Here’s a quick guide to help you explore whether your relationship aligns with your values and goals:
Evaluate Your Core Values Do you and your partner share similar values, or have you compromised on crucial aspects of your life? While differences can enrich a relationship, misaligned values may lead to dissatisfaction over time. Reflect on your priorities, aspirations, and non-negotiables to see if your relationship supports them.
Communication is Key Open and honest communication forms the backbone of any healthy relationship. Do you feel heard and understood by your partner? Are you comfortable expressing your needs and concerns? Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, so it’s essential to assess how you connect and resolve issues together.
Personal Growth & Support The right partner will inspire and encourage your personal growth. Do they support your goals and passions? A strong relationship fosters mutual empowerment, helping both partners grow into their best selves.
Emotional Connection Reflect on the depth of your emotional bond. Are you fulfilled and connected, or do you feel something is missing? Emotional intimacy is a cornerstone of lasting relationships. A deep, genuine connection can signal that you’re with the right person.
Trust Your Intuition Your gut feelings can reveal a lot. If something feels “off” or you have recurring doubts, take time to explore these emotions. Understanding their origins can offer clarity and guide your next steps.
Bonus Tip: Seek Support When Needed
Navigating doubts or uncertainties can be challenging. A therapist can help you reflect on your patterns, unpack any past trauma, and create greater awareness around your relationship needs.
Remember, love is a dynamic process, and occasional doubts are normal. By evaluating your values, communication, emotional connection, and personal growth, you can determine if your relationship aligns with your long-term happiness. Prioritize a partnership that brings out the best in both of you—you deserve it!
