Sadly, your boyfriend doesn’t like walking hand in hand with you in public.

Furthermore, he doesn’t bring you around his friends and family.

Given this behavior, you genuinely believe he is ashamed of you.

Whenever you are in public with him, he treats you as he would a platonic friend.

His behavior is just as bad in private.

When you are in private with him at his place or yours, he doesn’t really show you that much affection either.

Whenever he is being physically intimate with you, he isn’t all that patient.

It’s as though he just wants to get off and turn around and go to sleep.

Besides this, there have been countless times you have snuggled up to him on a couch, only to have him push away from you a few moments later.

He was sweeter when he was courting you.

Back then, he took you out on a few dates and showed a little bit more affection both in public and in private.

Since you became his girlfriend, all of that has disappeared.

Sadly, this is a guy who has always been ashamed of you.

Even though he seemed to have been better in the beginning, he was actually being strategic.

He only took you to places that were either not that crowded or that he wasn’t afraid of being seen with you at.

These would be places he doesn’t frequent.

In private, at his place or yours, he showed you just enough affection to get you to sleep with him.

But the affection was never genuine.

Since you became his girlfriend, his true self has been revealed.

He is ashamed of you.

This is why he is barely taking you out on dates anymore and doesn’t bring you around his friends or family.

There are two potential reasons for this.

The first is that he isn’t physically attracted to you.

He saw you as an easy target; someone he could easily seduce and eventually get to sleep with him.

Basically, you are primarily satisfying his physical needs.

With you, he doesn’t have to perform in the bedroom.

He can get himself off and go to sleep.

The second reason is that dating someone like you keeps him in control, saving him from the potential for heartbreak.

It’s possible he has dated attractive girls in the past he wholeheartedly fell in love with who ultimately hurt him.

These past relationships devastated him.

To protect himself, he chooses to date someone that isn’t typically his type.

Someone he knows he is better than.

With you, he isn’t fearful that he won’t be in control.

He knows you like him much more than he likes you, which is the foundation he uses for establishing control.

As long as he is in control, he never has to worry about falling in love with you, which keeps him from getting manipulated or hurt by you.

Whichever the reason, none of them bode well for you.

Staying in a relationship with a guy like this who constantly neglects and emotionally abuses you is a recipe for immense trauma and dissatisfaction.

Breaking up with him immediately is what you must do next.
