4. He doesn’t give you the freedom that you’re entitled to in the relationship.
He knows what he does with the freedom that you give him is something that you wouldn’t be happy with. And so he makes sure to never give you that kind of freedom either.
5. He is never emotionally open to you.
He always seems so closed off and unavailable to you. He never makes it seem like you can open up to him about anything. He makes you feel like he’s going to judge whatever you have to say.
6. He doesn’t respond to refusals and disagreements well.
He hates criticism. That means he doesn’t love you enough to actually be open-minded to you. He doesn’t really give much importance to your opinions if they don’t match his own.
It’s so sad that my partner of 5 years has 8/9 of those signs and we have two daughters (4&2) and we’ve been engaged for 4 years. And now he doesn’t even talk about marriage anymore. ☹
Sounds about right..you hit that square on….Sad and it’s hard because we can’t help who we fall in love with really…when we are conned the feelings are still very real for us.
