You’ll have no problem finding people who are happy to be there for you when things are light, fun and easy. This is true for all types of relationships, but it’s especially true for romantic ones. Since your romantic partner is usually more tuned in to and connected to your life than the other people in it, they get the highest from your highs. But your romantic partner will also get the lowest of your lows, because (hopefully) they stay by your side during those times. If you really want to see what kind of partner a man can be, see how he reacts when things get tough. And don’t make excuses for him because, honestly, even if you can understand why a man would bail would things were tough, that doesn’t make it any easier when he does. Here are real life issues that immature men run from.

You need to dive into your career

If you’re changing careers, trying to start a business, or just trying to get ahead in your line of work, you’ll probably need to devote more time to work. It’s only natural that you won’t have as much time to stay up late drinking bottles of wine on a weeknight. Life becomes a little more business than pleasure for a while.

Why immature men run

If you’re dating an immature man, you may not have realized it but, he probably uses sex to get out of tough conversations. When you start talking about something that stresses you out, he moves things into the bedroom. Now that he can’t do that, he’s forced to carry these tough conversations to completion with you…but he doesn’t know how to do that.

Immature men usually haven’t come to terms with the deeper, more emotional parts of their personality. To put it simply; they aren’t comfortable with feelings. When they sense them coming on, they just invite everyone they know out to a bar to run away from it. If you do not want to run from your feelings, you can be very scary for an immature man.

Why immature men run

Immature men usually think they’re immortal. They don’t like to think about the finality of life. Why? Well, it would probably force them to reflect on some of their habits and realize there are some things they should change before the clock stops ticking. If you’re facing a serious illness, then you are the embodiment of that clock. And your immature partner may not want to be around you.

Well, quite frankly, it’s because they’re shallow! This may be a hard pill to swallow, but some men care more what others think about their partner than how they, themselves, feel about her. Some men cannot see what they love about you besides your looks if your looks change a little. It’s awful, I know.

Immature men do not understand that one of the beauties of a committed relationship is that you weather storms together. Rather than think, “Of course I’ll sit through these terrible dinners with her because she’s there for me when my family is nuts!” an immature man thinks, “This isn’t my family—why do I have to deal with this?”

Immature men are usually still very attached to their friend group. It’s healthy and important to have friends! But immature men usually connect their feelings of self-worth to how busy their social life is. If you can’t help them keep up that social life, they might just go out with you…rather than stay home and play Monopoly with your broke butt.
