| It reminds me of my brother. He had a similar situation with his current wife. He never told her he loved her, and always treated her like, as you say, he didn't want to "show her off". His wedding he made as private as possible - almost secret. He told me he didn't feel anything emotionally strong for her. It seemed he thought they were right in a practical way. She has her faults too - she doesn't listen to him.
Regardless of all that though, just thinking about what you've said, I think you should say to your man; "isnt it the truth that it would be very convenient for you to spend your life with me in a practical way, because we are basically compatible. However, you don't, in your private heart, really love me - do you?"
If he is man, he will be direct with you - and, I would guess, say "no". And if you are a woman, you will be straight back - and, I would hope, say "goodbye".
Of course some men are afraid to say "I love you" - and, although you can't stand that kind of appalling fear either, it's something you can do something about.  |
