Emotional Immaturity Signs To Look Out For In Men

6.

“This brought me back to four months ago when I was Googling: ‘Is he too emotionally guarded for a relationship?’ without realizing that really his lack of affection was because he had a whole other relationship outside of me. Anyway, a few things for me:

• “He treats you based on how he’s feeling and justifies his behavior on how he’s feeling.

• Instead of making you a priority, he explains his lack of effort with excuses.

• Disappears whenever you have a serious conversation or are addressing a conflict.

• Does not hold space or empathy for your emotional wounds and intensities.

• References past loves just a little too much.

• Claims being ’emotional’ is something they’ve grown out of.

• Does not respect your time, aka does not plan dates in advance; doesn’t make a routine out of your time together (aka seeing each other every weekend); you’re often waiting for them to initiate plans either the day of or the night before.”

“The first bullet point is so true. The conditional affection gets really draining, it also keeps you on a string if you’re like me; instead of realizing it’s based on their mood, you think its because of yourself and you just constantly put in that effort because sometimes he’ll treat you the way you want.”
