It’s your dream… but not his. Marriage can become a source of intense conflict if one partner strongly opposes it.
The beautiful dress, the party with family, friends, the commitment… For you, marriage is an essential step in your romantic relationship with him. You love yourself, you are happy, you are thinking about having children (or have already done so) … but your partner does not share your desire. No matter how hard you try Bring the topic back to the table (which isn’t necessarily a good idea!), he stands on his positions : It is NO. Various reasons can explain this why your partner doesn’t want to get married, as love coach Élodie Cavalier explains to us:
do not take it personally
Whatever the reason, “The best attitude is: to encourage others to express themselves freely“, Above all, you should not allow yourself to be insulted. “If he tells us, ‘No, I don’t want to get married,’ we might take it personally, but ‘most of the time it’s not against us.’that means nothing about his love for you” reassures the love coach. That’s the goal put things in perspective and to perceive that The concept of commitment is not specific to marriage. “The definition of attachment varies from person to person, sometimes it doesn’t include the same things,” explains Élodie. “For a couple to work, they must agree on what they are committing to.” In case If marriage is ingrained in you as something deeply important, you will be truly unhappy and that we have no chance of being happy without putting a ring on our finger, “we have to go,” concludes Élodie Cavalier.
