Common responses you get when you venture to talk about it are: He needs more time.

He needs things in the relationship to change.

He needs things in his life to change.

Why are you bringing this up now?

Can we talk about this another time?

Everything is so great, why do you’re gonna wanna wreck it?

Im stressed at work, I cant talk about this right now.

At the root of it, he probably feels incredibly guilty.

These are just empty excuses.

Guys dont speak in code; when he says something, believe him and dont read into it!

Do not make the mistake of seeing this as some sort of challenge.

Dont make it your mission in life to turn him into a believer.

Take it for exactly what it is.

What this really means is he knows… he just doesntknowhow to tell you.

Guys usually know early on when theyve met the one.

He shuts you out

He wont talk about problems with you.

He withdraws and shuts you out.

It almost seems like hes about to break up with you.

He doesnt let you in and you dont have a clue about his emotional world.

When a man lets a woman in, hes investing in her.

Men dont readily strip off their masks and show their true colors to the world.

They reserve this for a select and very special few.

When a man lets you in, really in, he is deeply invested in you.

When he builds walls, hes trying to keep you out.

He cant do conflict

Part of being in a healthy relationship entails being able to handle conflict.

They are both trying to reach a resolution and they worktogetherto get there.

They dont go into combat like enemies.

Essentially, its the two of them against the problem, not the two of them against each other.

The conflict is a means to find a resolution, not an opportunity to tear each other down.

Marriage is a life-long partnership.

Sometimes these partners dont agree and that is where the strength of your relationship will come into question.

Instead, youll spend your life walking on eggshells for fear of rocking the boat.

Conflict can often strengthen a couple.

It can be a means for breakthroughs and deeper understanding.

This often isnt conscious and it isnt malicious.

You feel desperate and pathetic

How do you feel in this relationship?

You should never have to beg and plead for a commitment.

When its the right guy, he will eagerly and happily commit himself to you.

He will do whatever it takes.

When a friend of his gets engaged, he feels pity, not joy.

He sees marriage as life in prison with the possibility of parole (i.e.

divorce), but that comes at a risk of half your income and he would just rather not.

He doesnt really seem all that proud to be your man.

When a man is truly in love, he wants to show off his lady.

Why would he do something like that?

Maybe hewantsto be sure and thinks if he makes a big move it will get him there.

Or maybe hes just buying more time,literally.

But then he has to face the music.

You know the truth deep down, its just not always easy or pleasant to admit it.

There you have it.

Signs hes never going to marry you.

Dont cheat yourself out of having what you want.

Its much better to be alone than with someone who isnt right for you.
