1.You care about their life outside of you
It's not just about resisting the urge. If your partner can leave their cell phone out while they take a shower and you don't even think about looking through it, your relationship is probably in pretty good shape. But, we're all human. Maybe a small part of you wonders what juicy stuff is beyond the four-number pass code. Consider this: the fact that your partner trusts you enough to leave it out is a good sign, and it's in your best bet to keep it that way.
2.You let them see you in all of your many forms
Part of trusting your partner is understanding how important it is that they have hobbies, interests and friends independently of your relationship. We all love attention and affection, but we need some alone time too. It's important to value this aspect of your partner's life void of insecurity.
3.Meeting the parents
What's more trusting than allowing someone into the crazy, dysfunctional world of an annual family gathering? Knowing that your partner will love you regardless of if your uncle shot-guns Budweiser's during a round of karaoke that your mother insisted on starting is a huge sign of trust. And it goes both ways. You'll still love your partner after seeing their prom photos and realizing you were way cooler than them in high school. You'll judge them. But you'll still love them.
