Does your 'partner' with whom you are in a committed relationship, just goes a step back to let the World know about you both??? Does he still introduces you to his friends and colleagues as ‘just friend’ and behaves the same when you are in public? Does his love and affection with you is only limited between both of you? Why bear such kind of a situation?

Hiding the relationship status of you both from parents for a while is okay… but, even amongst friends and colleagues? You need to think about this relationship as such…

Before you ask this to your partner directly, just put some questions to yourself…

Is your partner a commitment phobic? Does his past relationship has made him to stay away from any commitment as such? Have your partner ever committed to you or you are just staying in that illusion? Why did you stop your partner or asked your partner when he/she has introduced you as a friend to their close pals or even colleagues?

Have you observed your partner moving close to any of his friends, introducing you as their close friends? Then you can have a doubt may be your partner is two timing…

Does your partner calls you up and wants to meet you only when they are free and not when you want to? Then you need to think about the importance you have in the relationship…

Does your partner frequently does not pick up your calls and answer your messages on time? They call you up later, after couple of hours or may be after a day and end up giving some reason? Does this situation occur more regularly? Think twice about such a relationship…

Remember, love/affection/emotional dependency and what so ever should be from both the partners for a relationship to survive, followed by mutual respect, understanding and trust… if either of all these is missing in your relationship, not even wait for a minute to solve the issue and get a clarity for yourself at least.
