Everyone has their flaws, annoying habits and other factors that can cause problems in the relationship. But what if you are in a relationship with a man who does not want to get married? Should you continue on into the relationship once he has admitted how he feels about marriage in the hope that he will change his mind?
Her Feelings
A woman who believes that she has found "the one" may or may not want to marry the man she is dating. But if she has already starting dreaming of a white wedding with her partner, this will certainly cause some serious problems in the relationship where the man has expressed that he does not plan on getting married. Knowing how a man feels about marriage, why do some women continue on into the relationship? Some women feel that the longer they are with their partner, the greater the chance that he will change his mind and see that marriage is the logical conclusion to the relationship. While some men who initially stated that they did not want to get married do eventually change their minds, many others stick with their decision and disappoint their partner of the big white wedding that they had been dreaming of.
His Feelings
Once a man has opened up his heart and mentioned how he feels about marriage, perhaps due to an acrimonious divorce or the death of his beloved wife, he may want to leave it at that. After all, many men reason that once they have made it known how they feel about marriage, the special lady in their lives will accept what they have said and not press them any further on the matter.
A woman who knowingly enters into a relationship with a man who has no intention of getting married risks getting hurt, especially if she feels differently about marriage. Some men who were initially opposed to the idea of getting married do change their minds over time, but that does not mean to say that it will work out in each scenario. That is why a woman should carefully weigh the goals that she wants to get out of the relationship and see where the relationship is headed. If her partner shows no signs of changing his mind, the long term happiness of both will be compromised.
