As a couple, your position on the sofa would be eloquent in determining the state of your relationship. So are you more side by side or respecting personal space?
As we know, the position of a couple in bed when sleeping says a lot about the relationship. But we did not know that it was the same for the position on the sofa. A psychologist has surveyed thousands of couples to analyze their sitting position on the sofa. According to her, this way of standing would reveal a lot about the state of our love affairs. Dr. Georgina Barnett analyzed all possible positions by interviewing 2,000 couples.
In a couple, hugging is rather a sign of closeness, benevolence and affection, on the sofa too, but be careful where you do it. Being two in a corner would rather be synonymous with imbalances in the couple: one or one crushing the other, both literally and figuratively. The person wedged in the corner occupies the space, has self-confidence, and has the power in the relationship. The other, on the other hand, seems less confident. She seeks contact and wants to be reassured. But there is not only this position. You can also stand side by side with only light contact with your partner. This does not necessarily mean that the couple is not in good shape. This position shows a tender and happy love although devoid of the passions of the beginning. Couples who settle in this way have confidence in their relationship and can therefore give each other personal space. It is a mixture of intimacy and freedom.

The other positions of couples on the couch
When one lays their head in the other’s lap, it usually means the couple is happy and comfortable in each other’s presence. If the partners sit at two different ends of the sofa, on the other hand, the time is serious. All this usually means that the relationship has fizzled out or that there is a storm in the air. Finally, if you have become accustomed to sitting on two different sofas or armchairs, do not worry. This indicates the sign of a good cohabitation and a good knowledge of the habits of your partner. Although he may also show a problem of indifference to physical closeness.
