A guy can withdraw and suddenly tell you he feels he is not good enough for him. What does this really mean? How do you respond to this?

It Can Mean Several Things

It can be an excuse he is making to end the relationship. Maybe he is afraid to confront you with the real reason, so this is an easier way out.

But it can also be true what he said.

He May Love You Very Much, But Still Feel This Way…

He may like you and even love you very much, but he may feel he’s not worthy enough for you. Basically, he may be trying to tell you that he doesn’t love you as strongly as you love him. And that truth may pain him. He may feel you deserve a better man or love than him. That you deserve someone who will give you his best.

What Then?

This is a complicated situation. It can also be his insecurities getting in the way and he’s afraid. You can decide to stay in the relationship and try to make things work. Or you may decide to exit the relationship gracefully. Make sure that you talk to him openly and ask him his fears and his reasons.

You can give each other space to work things out. Through out all this, there is an important question to ask yourself: How fulfilled and happy do you feel in this relationship?

Even if you love him and you keep going in circles and he brings this up often, there is not much you can do after a point. You can do your part in the relationship, but he would need to do his. A happy relationship is one where both sides are emotionally open and are deeply in love with each other. That’s the relationship you deserve.
