The Art of Letting Go: When He Can't Commit and Why It's Not About You
What is the old adage? “if you love something set it free, If it returns it’s yours and if it doesn’t.. it never was.”
We sometimes like to romanticized things that are anything but romantic. Being in a relationship with someone who always has one foot out is setting yourself up for a world of hurt., One where personal boundaries, growth, and self-worth take center stage.
One of the most emotionally taxing situations a woman can face is being with a man who's unwilling to commit. But, what if the reluctance isn't about her? What if it’s simply about the journey of self-realization? Let's explore when it's time to move on and why it's essential to remember it's not a reflection of her worth.
Recognizing the Signs
While every relationship is unique, certain signs suggest a lack of commitment:
- Avoidance of future plans
- Reluctance to label or define the relationship
- Keeping you separate from his inner circle
- Inconsistent communication
The Emotional Drain
Staying in limbo is emotionally exhausting. The uncertainty, the hope, the disappointment — it’s a roller coaster that hampers personal growth and happiness. Over time, it can erode self-esteem and lead to feelings of unworthiness.
It's Not About You
The crux of the matter is understanding that his inability to commit is his journey and not a reflection of your worth. Various reasons might contribute:
- Past traumas or fears
- Personal uncertainties about life direction
- Not being ready emotionally or mentally
None of these reasons are about you or your worthiness of love.
The Value of Time
Time is our most precious commodity. By clinging to a relationship with someone who's unsure about you, you might miss out on experiences or even other relationships that are more aligned with what you want and deserve.
Self-worth is Paramount
Remember, you are deserving of someone who sees your value and wants to share a life with you without reservations. Holding onto someone unwilling to commit can slowly chip away at your self-worth, making it crucial to prioritize self-respect and love over uncertainty.
Letting go of someone you care about deeply is never easy. However, understanding that his inability to commit is more about him and his internal struggles than about you is crucial.
Recognizing your self-worth and realizing that you deserve a relationship filled with certainty, respect, and mutual commitment is the first step towards a brighter, more fulfilling romantic future.
Set your boundaries, express your needs within the relationship to feel emotionally secure and if he is ready to face his fears and level up he will, but if he doesn’t, remember, holding on to him will only delay meeting the one who is ready, ready to reciprocate all the love and affection you reserved for someone not capable to receive it.
Let go of the hot and cold, one foot in one foot out toxic “partner” and I promise, someone you never conceived possible will appear seemingly out of no where to sweep you off your feet and love you in a way you didn’t think possible.
Trust me, I know:)
