In a relationship, certainty develops over a period of time. It is natural to be unsure of the partner in the initial stages of the relationship. However, if you are still unsure of the relationship even after a long period of time, it is important to reconsider. “Many people will struggle to be completely certain, not because it’s the wrong relationship or person, but simply because there are not many unknowns.

Here are a few questions to ask ourselves when we feel that we are not sure of the partner and the relationship.(Unsplash)
