Communication is the key to good relationships. There are many things couples should talk about in their relationships. Various topics need certain times and places to talk about them.
However, when your lover refuses to talk about some topics or gives one-word answers, then there are many things he is hiding. You will know you are wasting your time when he avoids these topics.
1. Boundaries
Every relationship needs boundaries. This will make sure that you don’t go past your limits to cause problems in the relationship. However, when he doesn’t talk about when he needs his personal time/privacy or his boundaries, he is automatically not ready to be in a serious relationship.
2. Your family
A man who doesn’t care to discuss your family or his family is not in that relationship. You will be wasting your time with a man who doesn’t seem bothered with your family stories. A man who cares for you should care about your family too and he will be bothered to know more about it.
3. Relationship goals
Every relationship has its own goals. Relationship goals make partner be on the same page. However, when your man doesn’t want to talk about relationship goals, he doesn’t see a future with you. You should just pack your things and go as he is not serious with you.
4. Sex
Talking about sex will help you know if you are sexually compatible. If not, you will work on ways to be on the same page. However, when your man doesn’t open up when talking about this topic, he isn’t serious in this relationship. Men should always open up about sex discussions to be able to know what works and what doesn’t work for the two of you.
5. Religious and cultural values
These two are things that must be discussed in a relationship. Some relationships break as partners realize later that they have different religious and cultural values that don’t allow them to settle together as husband and wife.
If your man avoids these topics, he is sending signs that he isn’t looking forward to spending the rest of his life with him.
