Signs You're Not Headed for Marriage

Shannon Wilson
Relationships are a two way street. You may think that everything is going wonderfully, that you'll end up at the alter smiling lovingly at each other but your boyfriend may think otherwise. There are some signs that you can look out for to see if that marriage proposal you've been coveting is just a pipe dream. This article will detail six ways you can gage if your honey will pop the question or not.

#1: He's Never Brought It Up

Have you two been together for several years but he's never mentioned the "M" word once? When a couple has been together a long time, it's not unusual for marriage to be mentioned even if it's just something like "Marriage is something I see myself doing someday." If he has not mentioned it even once, chances are he won't or he's just clueless about how much it means to you.

#2: You've Never Met his Family and/or Friends

If you've never met your boyfriends family and/or friends and you know he has some, then that is cause to worry especially if you've been together for a while. Unless he's an orphan and so anti social that he has no friends, you should have met at least one person that he considers family or friend. If it doesn't look like you'll be meeting anyone in his life and he's still going off to hang out with them, reevaluate your relationship immediately because he may not be really putting his heart into the commitment you are supposed to have.

#3: He Never Has Time For You

A man who never has time for his girlfriend probably isn't going to roll out the happily ever after and if he does, why would you agree too? If he is always at his job or prefers hanging out with his buddies instead of being with you, then you're in a dead end relationship.l

#4: He's Doesn't Believe in Marriage

If he has ever said "I don't believe in marriage," "Marriage is for suckers," or "I'll never get married" then honey, you'll never get that ring on your finger. Don't have delusions that you are going to change his mind. If you choose to get involved with someone like that and you have heard him say that, then you're setting your own self up for heartbreak.

#5: His Online Profiles Say He's Single

Does his Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or other online account that he uses on a regular basis say he's single? Also does he have several pictures of himself but known of you or the two of you together? Then that is a big red sign right there. The technical savvy man knows exactly what he is doing and you are not part of his future.

#6: He's Cheated

If your boyfriend has cheated, that's a huge sign that he may never marry you and why would you even want to marry someone like that? Cheating is never OK and in a lot of cases...once a cheater...always a cheater... Drop him like a hot potato and find someone you deserve.
