It’s possible to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t really want to be in a relationship, or who has lost the desire to have a real relationship with you.
Many a time, people end up in such a relationship for many years before it dawns on them that they have been with a partner who wasn’t really ready for them.
It isn’t just a particular gender; both men and women end up being victims of this relationship scenario.
Below are signs that your partner isn’t really ready for a real relationship.
1. YOUR PARTNER ISN’T TRUSTWORTHY
When you don’t trust your partner and your partner doesn’t even give you reasons to be trusted, or put in significant efforts to gain your trust then that’s the sign of someone who isn’t ready for a real relationship with you.
2. THEY KEEP PROMISING TO CHANGE BUT NEVER DO
This is another common trait of a partner who isn’t ready for a real relationship with you. When your partner continually puts up acts that hurt you and never change even after promising to on countless occasions, then your partner isn’t ready for a real relationship and might never be ready to have a real relationship with you.
3. THEIR LOVE IS ON AND OFF
The love of someone who isn’t ready for a relationship with you can be compared to a disco light – only that their love is more off than on. When your partner is totally into you today and the next few days your partner’s feelings for you drops — and this keeps happening time without number, then that person isn’t ready for a real relationship with you.
4. THEY NEVER DEFINE THE RELATIONSHIP
A partner that isn’t ready for a real relationship would never define the relationship. Such a partner would never give you the assurance of where the relationship is heading to.
5. EVEN WHEN THEY DO, WHAT THEY SAY IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY DO
Even though such a partner tries to sweet-talk you into believing that the relationship has a future, the actions of that partner speaks differently from the words. Such a partner would promise you heaven and earth, but show nothing in return.
6. YOU MIGHT NEVER REALLY MEET THEIR FAMILY
You know by now that when a person is serious with you, they let it known to their family and friends. But a partner that isn’t ready for a real relationship with you would shy away from letting you meet those that matter to them.
7. THE RELATIONSHIP REMAINS STAGNANT
A relationship with someone who isn’t ready for a real relationship with you would remain stagnant for a long time; months and even years after being with that person would still be the same — you wouldn’t see any progress in the relationship or feel that it’s heading somewhere. This is because the relationship is actually heading nowhere.
No one loves to be stuck with a partner who isn’t ready for a real relationship, but sometimes people end up in such relationships without even knowing, until it’s probably too late.
