How Well Do you Really Know Your Partner?

I believe when we are with someone or even friends with someone we feel that we really know them because of what we see , what we are told and how they treat us but the truth is no one can no anyone for absolute sure because you can never be sure what one is hiding from you or the illusion they are tryng so hard for you to see . We have to go on what we believe and what our instincts tell us about a person but I don't believe that anyone really can know for sure what anyone else is truely like . If this were the case we would never see the divorce rate as high as it is or friends that were best friends no longer liking each other years later .

Knowing your partner does not mean in the ordinary way, that is what he likes, or how he sleeps and his nature to some extent. Knowing your partner is to go to the core of that persons heart, which is very difficult. We think we know our partners, but actually nobdoy knows the other toally. Very rarely will you find a couple who are atune both physically and mentally. Those are the very few lucky ones, the others are just ok.

I can confidently say that I know pretty much everything there is to know about my partner. Sure, there's the occasional "what the hell was he thinking?" but that's pretty normal since in the end, you are individuals and you do think differently, but all in all, I know him better than anyone in the world. Even himself at times.

I was with my ex for five years and a half and I thought I knew him like the back of my hand and the reality was that I did not because when a life changing situation came upon us he reacted in a form I never thought he would ever. Well, all I have to say is that I do not think you can ever really know a partner very well because when you are in love you tend to block out reality (blindfold) and then end up seeing reality and true colors when times get hard.

Well, after 30 years together, I know him pretty well. I am sure I don't know everything about him, as he still has the ability to surprise me, knock my socks off, blow me away, move me to tears, and catch me completely off guard. In this case, I think not knowing everything about him is a good thing.

I dun think u can noe very well for your partner... as for me, I though i noe my partner very well... but sometime, i will disappointed bcoz he is not wat i think he is... i think tat is bcoz i though i noe him very well n i noe wat he thinking but actually i'm wrong... so sometime bcoz of tis v will hv argument... so, i think no matter u noe ur partner how long, dun ever expect tat u noe ur partner very well, sometime it will b the started of the argument....

i was engage 3 yrs and it was not enough to know him well.but now we are almost 9 yrs of our marriage yes i know him very well.

i can tell that i really know my partner, my husband is very loyal to me and its not that we have to stay together for years to know your partner but you know the persons behaviour and his nature reflects his attitude and the type of person he is. i can never think of my husband doing this as i know him well, he loves me and cares for me. yes only when concerned to his parents i can tell that he can take their side sometimes instead of mine. but the kind of habbits you are speaking about he dont have and i really thank god for that and i feel that to continue how he is now. i can really understand if a person does like how your boyfriend has did it really hurts, if they cant tolerate a guy with you then how can they expect you to tolerate a girl with them. i just think that then he is just not loyal to you and might be he is just playing with you, please dont mind my friend but i am telling you what i think. coz if a person is loyal to you if will never do this however beautiful girl let him see, he will just be yours. so better take care if you are serious in the relation.

well yes we really know are partner very well... but sometimes there is also some surprises in there personality that we don't expect. But still that is part of life that we should handle

Well, it's difficult to say that you're really know your partner. It is easier to claim that. It is impossible to know all about our partner. Why? because human will always change, we don't stay the same. Change is good, no change, we die.

I know my partner well but as to what extent i dont know really...I know he might still be hiding some flaws from me. But as you are getting to know each other day after day youll began to see some attitude that you never have seen before when you are still not living on the same roof. I know he is not a womanizer since even his mother told me that he stick to the relationship. I never seen him checking out other girls when we are in a party. Though i saw girls checking him out lol But i guess if you really trust your partner and you know in your heart he loves you. Thats all that really matters to me. I know he loves me because he had to go through a lot of ups and down in our relationship yet he remain faithful to me. I dont mind if he will show more of his bad sides later on. As long as it has nothing to do with him having an affair with someone lol. I am the type of person who can accept anything except a cheating and violent person.

Well me and my girlfriend have been together for almost 7 months now and I think I'm really starting to get to know her well. She's just so predictable and easy to read. She doesn't hide anything about herself. She's so open. One thing that I'm having problem coping with is her sensitivity to things. I can't even tell her a joke cause I know that she'd take it seriously and then just cry or something like that. But all in all I like her that way and she's so cute.

Two human have two minds, tho feels, two behaviours, two characters, and so many thing different. All we can do is receive our partner just the way they are. Every people has a unique character..isn't it? I think i didn't knew him really..but i try to know him really.. I think i didn't know my partner very well..but i know my partner well.., and he know me well..it's enough for me.. And finnaly, I think i know my partner very well better than others know him actually..

i've been with my current partner for 10 years now and i know I know him well enough. but now that he is out of the country and we don't get to talk often, i feel that there are things going on with his life that i know little about. he's out there exploring the world while i'm here just doing the usual stuff. i feel like he's growing and i'm stuck and i don't know if he's stillthe same person i fell in love with when he comes back....
