In my experience, a true relationship goes way, way beyond BFFs and casual sex...
Maybe it's because I'm a pisces, and therefore, naturally interdependent, but... my boyfriend is an extension of myself really, and vice versa.
We build each other up when one of us is down, but we also don't hesitate to tell each other what we NEED to hear in order to better ourselves.
He knows my goals in life, and I know his. We do what we can to help each other reach our goals, and share in immense joy when either one of us accomplishes something. We learn new things together constantly, especially now that we are living on our own for the first time together.
I never have to feel alone. When I'm in a deep depression, he is always there for me, and I feel like I can tell him anything. When I start to get overwhelmed and start to shut down, he picks up my slack, no complaints, no questions asked. And when I make a small attempt to get over the feeling, he gives me lavishing encouragement, which gives me the ambition to push on and be myself again.
He's someone that loves me in my ugliest times, and vice versa. I always feel safe with him around. Losing him would quite literally feel like I would lose a part of myself. We've been together almost 3 years now, and while I know that lots of other relationships have lasted longer, we've seen each other pretty much every day since we started dating, and have been living together for a little over a year now. I know that this one is different. I can feel it. We ARE soulmates.
I love him with every inch of my body and soul, and I know he feels the same way. People, even strangers on the street can feel it, and have commented to us about it...even though we aren't like lovey-dovey PDA. It's just...we give off the energy of love I guess, that may sound lame, but I'm not making this up. I can't imagine myself with anyone else.
