Not everyone really wants to be in a relationship, and it’s highly possible to end up with such a partner.
Being with such a partner would make for a terrible relationship, and when someone isn’t ready to have something real, there is little to nothing you can do about it.
It’s totally unhealthy to be with someone who isn’t ready to be in a serious relationship. Below are signs of such a partner:
1. THEY SEEM NONCHALANT ABOUT SO MANY THINGS
A person who cares about having a serious relationship with you would care about so many things that matters to you. However, an unserious partner would take many things for granted and be nonchalant about the things that actually matter.
2. THE RELATIONSHIP WOULDN’T BE PROGRESSIVE
When you are in a relationship with someone who isn’t ready for a serious relationship, the relationship with that person would be static. There would be no progress or future for that relationship, even after months or years.
3. THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE SINGLE
Even when such a person is in a relationship, their actions and demeanour would be like that of a person that’s still single. Such persons fear responsibilities and act like they are free and single even in a relationship.
4. THEY REMIND YOU WHY IT’S UNNECESSARY TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP
People like this regret being in a relationship and more often than not give you reasons why it’s better to be single than in a relationship. You might hear statements like “this is why I hate being in a relationship”.
5. THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE DOING YOU A FAVOUR
People like these who aren’t ready for a serious relationship act like they are doing you a favour to be in the relationship with you. They put up annoying attitudes and still expect you to be the apologetic one.
6. THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE MULTIPLE PARTNERS
This is also another trait of someone who isn’t ready for a serious relationship. Commitment is a foreign word to these kinds of people, they cheat on you and even care less about their cheating ways.
7. THEY GET SCARED WHEN THE RELATIONSHIP IS GETTING SERIOUS
This trait is another that’s commonly shown by people who aren’t ready for a serious relationship. They get scared when the relationship is getting serious and would easily bail out of the relationship at that stage. I’ve seen a lot of people end their relationships simply because they felt it was getting too serious.
8. THEY HATE RESPONSIBILITIES
This is the reason why these kinds of people hate being in a serious relationship; they hate commitment, they hate responsibilities and they hate anything that would make the relationship get serious than a level they are used to.
9. THEY PROBABLY HAVEN’T BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP
Most people who hate serious relationships most times haven’t been in a serious relationship in the past. It’s either they bail out of the relationship when it gets too serious or they don’t even let it get that serious.
Being in a relationship with someone who isn’t ready for a real relationship is just a waste of time. Run as fast as you can from such a relationship or you might just end up hurting yourself in the process.
