How your partner relaxes with you

As you’re sitting down at night to watch some good TV together, you should pay attention to your partner’s body, even if they’re on the other side of the couch or in a totally different chair. Couples who are much better connected and happier are also angled toward each other and glance at each other to check in and make sure that everything is all right.

If your significant other is feeling somehow upset or like they don’t want to talk about it, they could turn away from you and even refuse to look at or acknowledge you. Moreover, holding hands can be a wonderful sign that your partner is expressing love and wants to be with you as often as possible. For instance, if your significant other reaches out to hold your hand, this shows they are seeking love and comfort from you.

  1. Great information. However, one thing was ignored or missed probably because the time of when this was written, but I don’t think cell phone usage should be ignored.

    1. Yes, cell phone usage is absolutely a part of body language.

      At best, it’s simply due to screen addiction.

      At worst, it means the person’s phone content is more interesting and important to them than their partner, and/or it’s their escape from a partner they’re no longer interested in or feel connected to for whatever their reasons are.

    2. It absolutely DOES!! If someone spends all their time looking at the phone while with you, they’re OBVIOUSLY not with you!!!

  2. Wake up Dave, cell phone usage has everything to do with body language. These devices have
    taken control of this generation affecting every part your life. Any person who ignores the spouse
    and family while wasting time on the phone is a fool.

  3. I agree with Sherri. When somebody is on their cell they are saying the other person is not important that the phone is more important. First off that in itself is a rude habit, end of story…

  4. Cell phones are a part of “body language”? Odd. What part of the body is the phone? Should I make sure the physician examines my phone as a part of my next annual physicals?

  5. Cell phone usage while ignoring a person is rude and inconsiderate and impolite. It is about etiquette not body language.
