"One possibility is that your schmooopy rest-assured views you as the right fit, but is just not ready for marriage or some more commitment yet. Your partner may want to reach certain milestones first, such as some career goal, financial stability, or social status. If so, a frank and open conversation can help your partner articulate that plan and accompanying timeline."
"So, you've been dating your boo for a while now, but there's one big boo boo. Your little lamb chop doesn't seem to want to commit to you any further, whether it's getting married or somehow advancing the relationship in a manner that you'd like. You may then be wondering, what the heck is f-ing up this situation? One possibility is that your schmooopy rest-assured views you as the right fit, but is just not ready for marriage or some more commitment yet."
A partner can view someone as the right fit yet resist deeper commitment because they are not ready or want to reach personal milestones first, such as career goals, financial stability, or social status. If readiness is the issue, a frank and open conversation can clarify plans and timelines. Alternatively, a partner may stay in a relationship for other reasons summarized as the "12 Fs," including fear, fealty, feelings, free stuff, finances, footing, family, friendship, and the f-word. If any of these are suspected, direct communication is recommended to uncover motives and prompt change.
