“Will you support me when… everything is fine?” — this is how scientists from the University of California (USA) titled their work. The reaction of partners to each other’s successes and achievements, and not to problems and failures — this is the true indicator of the strength of the union of two people.
This conclusion was made by psychologist Shelly L. Gable and her colleagues. If your loved one feels genuine joy and pride when, for example, you are promoted, and reacts as if it were his own success, the relationship in your couple is strong. And indifference, on the contrary, speaks of instability.
