PandorasBox Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 How do you know, if someone is sincere in a relationship or if they are just going through the motions? I guess this can apply to any kind of relationship. Is there something to look out for? Do you think if someone is sincere in the way they feel or act, you see changes? If they are just going through the motions, are they less likely to not go that extra mile for the relationship etc?
Art_Critic Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 You can never really know.. Learn to trust and listen to your gut. I looked back at my past serious relationships and I see where I didn't trust my gut when I should have.. it would've saved me a lot of heartache a couple of years ago when my last real ex was just going thru the motions..
sjj1970 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I've always thought that sincerity is in the eyes.
BareGoddess Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Also see how they treat others including family. How do they talk about their exes? You can tell a lot from just those two things.

I have known people who talk or treat their exs like crap when they were together and their familes as well. I have also known people who talk highly of their exs and who treat their familes wonderfully.
JackJack Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 IMO, I think it has to do with actions. If you have told or shown your spouse or partner over and over again how you feel, what you need/want etc, and they still refuse to do it, or at least try, then they are probably just going through the motions of the relationship to hang on for whatever reason, because it would seem to me, if they were interested in changing things or trying to make a relationship better, by doing their part, they would. However, some people are content with letting others do all the work in a relationship while they sit back and take cedit for it.
