Cuando sabes que lo sabes: 20 señales inequívocas de que has encontrado a tu media naranja
Cuando sabes que sabes. This is a phrase I’ve heard so many times in my life, often unsure of what exactly it’s supposed to mean. How do you know exactly?
Esto me preocupó durante un tiempo, así que decidí investigar un poco. Como a muchos de ustedes, me encanta el amor.
Esto me ha impulsado a profundizar y llegar al fondo de este enigmático dicho.
Turns out there’s a lot to be said about this. As we’re all aware, amor verdadero requiere trabajo, esfuerzo y comprensión continuos.
It isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. There’s a gray area in-between that ultimately makes or breaks you.
During conversations with different people, I was most curious to find out how you can be sure that you’ve found someone who’s worth all the sacrifices.
How do you know for sure that this is the right person who’ll show you what true love really is? And what I found out truly opened my eyes.
Tras numerosas conversaciones con mi mejores amigos y familia, por fin pude entender un poco mejor este dicho.
If you care to find out whether what you have is just infatuation or a healthy relationship in the making, I’ve got the answers you’re looking for.
It’s difficult to guarantee perfect compatibility in your new relationship but these 20 good signs will show whether what you have is the real thing or a passing fling.
El verdadero significado de Cuando sabes que sabes
Fairy tales aren’t real but when you finally feel that click with someone, you stop caring about perfection.
When you’re with the right person, you roll with the punches, knowing you’ve got the best companion along for the ride. And according to my research, this is how you know you’ve found them.
You don’t feel a compulsion to hide any part of you
Quizá por primera vez, te sientes libre para ser tú mismo.
You no longer feel any need to hide a part of you that might scare them away. Why? Because this person doesn’t scare easily.
Les encantan tus rarezas, tu personalidad parlanchina, tu incapacidad para callarte cuando te enfadas e incluso tus repentinos cambios de humor.
Con ellos, te sientes completamente liberado para sé quien eres when you are alone together. And that is the ultimate sign that you’ve found yourself a keeper.
Os gusta pasar tiempo juntos, pero también valoráis el tiempo que pasáis separados.
Lo que todos los expertos dicen que es una regla fundamental para una relación romántica es la capacidad de disfrutar del tiempo separados.
Sí, esta persona es tu alma gemela, pero sigues alimentando la vida que tienes fuera de vuestra relación.
You are both perfectly okay with the other one spending time with friends and family. After all, you are the one they’re coming back home to.
You’re on the same page when it comes to your future
It’s important that all couples are able to discuss their future.
It’s not a good sign if you secretly know that your visions clash so you avoid talking about it altogether. For this to work, you need to be on the same page.
Naturally, this isn’t something you’ll discuss on your first date. But eventually, the topic should arise and you need to be able to handle it maturely.
This is the rest of your life you’re talking about.
Don’t you deserve someone who feels the same way as you about how to spend it? And if you’ve found it, that is how you know.

Tus peleas son raras pero siempre justas
You know that it’s not about winning. A fight is about finding a common resolution that will benefit you both.
Nobody should come out victorious as it’s all about you and them against the issue.
Pocas parejas lo consiguen, pero las que lo hacen tienen más posibilidades de llegar lejos.
When you fight fairly, you know that you’ve got each other’s best interests at heart.
Sometimes, during fights, you’ll think to yourself: I don’t even know who you are but even then, you’d never think to say something you know you’ll regret. Eventually, it all works out.
You take each other’s opinions into account about everything
Cuando sabes que sabes, y éste es uno de los mejores ejemplos. Tu pareja te pide tu opinión y realmente la tiene en cuenta, al igual que tú.
You will never do stuff without checking with them first, as you know that it’s not how it works.
You’re a united front and you value each other’s input on every subject that concerns your relationship.
You’ve felt an uncanny sense of closeness from the get-go
Ever since high school or college (or whenever you met), you’ve felt an unusual sense of closeness. Something you’d never felt before.
Esto te dio el empujón que necesitabas para perseguir de verdad esta historia de amor. ¿Y tú qué sabes?
It turned out to be one for the ages. The feeling you’ve been immersed in since day one has only gotten stronger.
Hoy, les quieres más de lo que nunca creíste posible.
Y lo curioso es que nunca creíste que podrías quererlos más que entonces, pero la vida te ha demostrado que estabas equivocado.
Los dos os esforzáis con gusto para que funcione
La mayor piedra angular de un relación romántica es el esfuerzo que tienen que hacer los dos socios, y esto es una calle de doble sentido.
If you are the only one trying hard to push through the dark times and they couldn’t be bothered, it will never survive.
However, when you’re with the right person, the effort is real on both sides. It’s always fifty-fifty.
Heck, on days when you feel low, it’s eighty-twenty because they’re always there to take the burden off your shoulders when you need it.
Os aseguráis de no pasar mucho tiempo sin veros.
Aunque vuestra relación tenga que sobrevivir a una distancia tan grande como la que separa Nueva York de Los Ángeles, os esforzáis por veros con regularidad.
If it’s been two weeks, one of you is hopping on the first flight for some much-needed quality time. Why?
Porque cuando se sabe, se sabe.
Some people are worth the distance. And it’s never crossed your mind to let something like that affect your relationship. Your love trumps all the miles between you.

You never flake on each other – your commitment to them beats everything else
Nada dice Te quiero como estar siempre ahí. Pero no porque sientas que tienes que hacerlo, sino porque realmente quieres.
No matter what your day is like, you’re always going to make an effort to keep to the plans you made.
Sure, some days, it really just can’t be done (and they get it) but you’ll always have them in the back of your mind.
To me, that’s what real love is all about. There are no silly excuses as to why you won’t be able to make it. Why?
Con el único propósito de querer lograrlo de verdad.
Nunca sientes nostalgia de tu soltería
You don’t miss being a single person one bit!
A veces, navegas por tus redes sociales fotos de tus días de soltero y sientes alivio de que ya no sea así.
You’ve never really felt that way before.
En el pasado, siempre te recordaba más simple y más feliz times but now, you just feel so utterly blessed that you don’t ever have to walk through life alone again.
You’ve met each other’s families and friends (and you all get along great)
En I don’t even know who you are a ¿Qué haría yo sin ti? (y a tu familia).
Who’d have thought that you’d meet someone whose family would genuinely feel like your family?
A few years ago, you didn’t even know they existed and now, you have so many people who you care about on their side. And that’s a sign that you’ve met the one.
You don’t find it burdensome to visit their folks. Quite the contrary!
You’ve developed a really unique bond with their siblings and their parents adore you.
You’re comfortable letting your vulnerability show and vice versa
Por muy vulnerable que te sientas con tu pareja, nunca dañará tu autoestima.
It’s okay to be broken and it’s okay to feel lost. They encourage you to let it all out.
The right person will never make you feel like you’re being annoying for being sad.
They understand that it’s not always going to be smooth sailing and they’re always your shoulder to cry on.
You don’t feel the need to fill every silence with words
Esto es la vida real, no el país de la fantasía. ¿Y adivina qué?
You’re not always going to have something to say but that’s the beauty of it. You won’t even feel the need to.
Las personas que comparten una fuerte conexión emocional y mental entienden que se puede disfrutar de estar juntos sin necesidad de hablar todo el tiempo.
La tranquilidad es tan cómoda como una conversación apasionante.
When you get to a place where this is perfectly normal, comfortable even, there’s no question whether you’re with the right person. The quiet says it all.

There’s an emotional, mental and physical connection
There’s a conexión genuina between you. When you’re with them, it’s as if you can read each other’s mind.
When they’re sad, you’re sad. And the thing is, they don’t even have to say it. You feel it every time.
They’re your best friend on Earth and you can feel it in your bones that you’d be crushed if something ever happened to them.
Probablemente sea la única persona en el mundo que te entiende completamente.
A lot of people think they do but your partner is the only one who knows you inside out. It’s scary, daunting and simply marvelous.
Confiáis el uno en el otro para todo
You’d trust them with your life; that’s never even in question.
If you were in a grave situation and had only one phone call, you’d call them because you know they’d pick up.
Somehow, you just feel that you’re always safest in their hands. And the thing is, it’s hard to pinpoint why.
Aunque hay muchas razones, ninguna de ellas puede resumirlo del todo.
Aceptas y aceptas sus defectos e imperfecciones
Don’t you know that there’s no such thing as perfection? No matter how hard you try, you’ll never find a perfect partner.
There will always be that one annoying habit that they just won’t be able to break or a silly catchphrase you’ll wish they’d stop throwing around.
When you realize that you can’t change a person, that’s when you get what true love is.
El amor es estar a su lado a pesar de todos sus defectos e imperfecciones. Amor es estar a su lado incluso cuando quieres estrangularlos (pero no de verdad).
Love is messed up but when it’s real, you just don’t care.
Su mera presencia te hace sentir feliz y realizado
It’s the little things that make all the difference. You don’t need grand gestures or constant proclamations of love.
You just need them to physically be there. That’s it.
When they’re by your side, you feel whole. There’s nothing you need, want or crave.
Their presence is all you’ll ever need to be happy in life. It might sound silly or even cheesy but when you know you saber.
Also, when you’re not together, you notice those señales de que alguien piensa en ti y sabes que ese alguien son ellos.

Os hacéis reír más que nadie
Os hacéis reír el uno al otro sin ni siquiera intentarlo. Para mí, el humor es una de las partes más importantes de una relación sana.
You can’t always be serious. Who’s going to cheer you up when life gets you down?
Cuando necesitas que te levanten el ánimo, sabes a quién llamar. Y con ellos, reírse es muy fácil.
That’s because they know you so well. They know what makes you tick and what will hacer que te mees en los pantalones riendo.
The most boring things are super exciting when you’re together
Una cosa tan sencilla como ir al supermercado de repente parece tan divertida y esto es algo que apoyo totalmente.
When you’re with the right person, you’ll have fun no matter what you’re doing.
Pasear por la orilla del río, recoger la ropa de la tintorería o hacer la compra semanal.
It’s fun all around. You don’t even have to say anything, you’ll just giggle knowing what they’re thinking.
During times like these, when you’re happy doing absolutely nothing, it becomes crystal clear why this person is tailor-made for you.
Su felicidad es tu felicidad
When they’re sad, you’re sad. When they’re happy, you’re over the moon.
Su alegría te hace más feliz que la tuya propia y eso es un signo de amor en su forma más auténtica.
You don’t need constant signs of affection or material stuff. All you need is your best friend in tow, and you’re the happiest clam there is.
No one’s happiness has ever mattered as much as theirs.
