Pisces in Love

Pisces in love is passionate, intense, and singular. A relationship with a Pisces is a roller-coaster ride that will make you feel your feelings even the bad ones and help you emerge as a better, more honest person. Even if a relationship with a Pisces doesn't last, the lessons you learn from a Pisces partner will. A Pisces will go all-in when it comes to romance, and expects their partner to do the same. It's not as if a Pisces is clingy on the contrary, a Pisces can seem incredibly independent while in a relationship but a Pisces constantly views the world as if from a split-screen: The world through their eyes, and the world through their partner's eyes. They're always trying to make the choices that are the best for both parties, and even small decisions, like where to order Seamless, are made with that perspective in mind.
A Pisces wants their partner to grow, and demands that their partner brings their very best self to the relationship. That may cause some partners to feel like they're being pushed away, as a Pisces partner will likely say of course they should seek a promotion, more time at the gym, or a goal, even if it means spending time apart. For Pisces, the physical, spiritual, and intellectual are deeply intertwined, and in relationships, physicality is an important manifestation of love. Pisces can be incredibly sensual when they're feeling deeply in love, but isn't a sign that ever fakes anything. Pisces demands full presence in a relationship, and is especially hurt by any sort of deception. A Pisces demands full honesty and gives the same in return.
