Losing trust in your relationship is a tough battle to deal with. Imagine how it would feel if you finally had the trust of knowing that your partner genuinely cares for you, and wants to spend forever with you.
When you are head over heals for your partner, and you don’t feel the same way, it can be devastating to the relationship. Eventually, you try so hard to get close to them, that you actually end up pushing them away.
Why won’t your partner commit?
Women especially want to know why men won’t commit. Here’s a tip: Commitment does NOT equal marriage! Just because he isn’t ready to get married, doesn’t mean he isn’t committed to you or in love with you. Too many people write me and tell me that they don’t know why their partner won’t commit, and then I find out they mean married.
But who dictates what commitment is? Author and Relationship Expert Amy Waterman has this to say.
“One of the problems is that all of those social markers of commitment are external. Basically, you’re allowing society to tell you how committed you are because you’re married-that must mean you’re more committed than people who are just dating.”
Don’t let your friends, the media, or anyone else tell you what commitment is. Just enjoy companionship with your significant other. Enjoy being loved. If someone cares about you, loves you, wants to be with you and no one else, that is what commitment is.
Commitment in relationships does not mean a ring on a finger. I know plenty of couples in an unhappy marriage. If you’re happy in your relationship, you’re doing much better than they are.
