They’re evasive, make excuses, or are just inept when it comes to talking about feelings or the relationship. Some use anger, criticism, or activities to create distance.
You end up feeling alone, depressed, unimportant, or rejected.
Usually women complain about emotionally unavailable men. Yet many women aren’t aware they’re emotionally unavailable, too.
There are several types of unavailability, both temporary and chronic.
Some people have always been unavailable due to mental illness or a troubled childhood.Others temporarily make something a higher priority than a relationship, such as a family obligation, education, project, or a health concern.
People,who recently divorced or widowed may temporarily not be ready to get involved with someone new. In the middle are those who are too afraid to risk falling in love because they’ve been hurt by one or more relationships, which may include being hurt by a parent when they were a child. Often these different reasons for unavailability overlap, and it’s difficult to ascertain whether the problem is chronic or will pass.
If you’re looking for a close, committed relationship, a person who is married or still in love with someone else is not going to be there for you.
Similarly, addicts, including workaholics, are unavailable because their addiction is the priority and it controls them.
Still, some people give the appearance of availability and speak openly about their feelings and their past. You don’t realize until you’re already in a relationship that they’re unable to really connect emotionally or make a commitment.
This is quite interesting as I can't wait to bring you more Insights about the signs you need to look out for to recognize an emotionally unavailable spouse, friend, colleague..etc *wink*
This is something a lot of people need to focus on and stop wasting time trying to patch up, endure and adapt with someone who has other more important things to focus on than you.
Catch ya tomorrow.
To your success!
