[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I have finally figured out what has been happening with my relationship over the last 4 years.  He is committed to me, he has no intention of leaving me, he wants to get married. There is no romance,  no passion. His family ADORES me. He has said this to me repeatedly. He says that I am a "goddess" to them. I really think that he wants to be with me and marry me because he finally found someone that his family approves of. His family is very over bearing. I am used to it by now. He has made "off the cuff" comments about finally finding the right girl for his family.  He is 37. I'm 31.

I feel like we are best friends, but there is no romance coming from him. I love him dearly. I get butterflies when we kiss, when he smiles, when we hold hands.  Now, he is not a warm and fuzzy person in general.  He does things for me that he knows I like (making a special dinner usually). He only says he loves me after I say it to him, he is not a hand holder but will hold my hand when I take his. He doesn't cuddle at all. If I cuddle up to him he will cuddle back for a few minutes. He never initiates intimacy, I do. Half of the time he turns me down (always a different reason).

If this a case of "he's just not that into you" or am I overthinking this?

NP. I know that this has been mentioned a couple of times by some PPs, but as I was reading your OP my first thought was "he's gay". And I pretty much never think that. It just seems kind of obvious to me in this case.

And the fact that other people apparently got the same impression... doesn't bode well.

Maybe all the other women can immediately sense this about him in person and aren't interested, and that's why he's never brought anyone reasonable home to meet his family and so his family adores you. Maybe they're secretly relieved as well because they too thought he was gay.[/quote]
