Why won't he leave his wife? 10 no bullsh*t reasons (the truth) - Love Connection (2023)

He says he can’t leave his wife.

But you’ve been with him for years, and you’re tired of being the other woman.

Maybe he has never said he loves you, or maybe he’s flaked on you every time you tried to meet his family.

You want to know why this is happening, but don’t know how to ask without seeming insecure or clingy.

You aren’t alone.

Plenty of women have gone through what you are going through right now.

If it’s important for you to know about the reasons why your guy won’t leave his wife, then this blog post is for you.

Here are 17 reasons why your man might not be leaving his wife anytime soon.

1) He’s not ready to leave his wife.

It’s hard to leave the person you’ve been with for years and have children with.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t interested in you, but it does mean that he might not be ready to jump ship just yet.

If your relationship is worth fighting for then there will be no problem waiting until later on down the line when his family situation has changed or something else happens that makes him feel more confident about leaving her behind.

This is a decision that he needs to make on his own, and you need to respect that because this could potentially affect your future together too if things don’t work out between the two.

2) He doesn’t want to be alone.

You might think of your man as being weak, but sometimes men don’t want to be alone more than they want anything else in the world.

If your man is afraid of being without a partner or without his family, then he might not be ready to leave his wife.

Men are emotional beings and need companionship just like women do – it’s only natural that we would feel lonely if our significant other leaves us for someone new (or even worse, doesn’t love us anymore).

It can take time for some people to get over their fears when they’re left on their own with no one by their side who loves them unconditionally; these feelings may last years after the break-up before finally dissipating completely.

3) He thinks that you won’t leave him if he doesn’t leave his wife.

A lot of men think that if they’re in a relationship with a woman, they’re in control of the situation.

He might think that you’ll stick around even though he’s married because you won’t want to lose him.

That doesn’t mean he’s right, but it does mean that you need to make it clear to him that nothing is going to change until he leaves his wife for good.

The idea behind this statement is as follows: Men often believe women will stay and be faithful because she loves them more than their wives do; however, this isn’t true at all times or places.

There are many factors that determine how much one person cares about another individual (e.g., sex).

Furthermore, sometimes people don’t care what happens outside their own relationships – so long as both parties are happy inside theirs then there should be no problems.

4) He wants to keep the status quo and not rock the boat.

Your man might be afraid of making changes in his life because he’s afraid of the unknown.

He’s been in a relationship with his wife for a long time, and he might not be ready to leave and start over again.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait until he is ready, or if you need to move on by finding someone else who will love him as much as your married boyfriend does.

You might be waiting around a long, long time. And, while you’re waiting you’re missing out on the potential of meeting someone else who doesn’t come with terms and conditions.

You need to make the decision ultimately.

5) He doesn’t want to be lonely.

It’s easier for people to stay where they are than it is for them to change their lives and their situations.

Your man might think that by leaving his wife he’ll be alone forever, and that might scare him more than anything else in the world.

If this is the case, then you need to show him that he doesn’t have to be alone and that you won’t leave him.

You can do this by showing your support through various ways: being there when needed emotionally or physically; providing a listening ear; lending an objective perspective on things (without judging); sharing similar interests with your partner so as not only will they never feel like they’re missing out but also because these shared interests can introduce new activities into both of your lives.

6) He doesn’t want to deal with the stigma of being divorced.

Your man might not want his friends and family to think that he’s “less than” because he’s divorced, or that he’s not a good person for leaving his wife.

He might also not be ready to deal with the stigma of being single at his age or dealing with all of the changes that come along with dating again.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to be part of a stigmatized relationship, or if you need to walk away.

When it comes down between your happiness and what others say about him in regards as how much worth they see him having based on who he is now versus who they remember him as before divorce/relationship change – there are no right answers here; only personal choices made by each individual involved which will ultimately affect their future relationships (or lack thereof).

7) He doesn’t see any reason why he should leave his wife at the moment.

Your man might not be leaving his wife because he doesn’t see a reason to. He’s happy in his marriage, and he might not see anything wrong with it, so why should he leave it?

He’s got his bread buttered on both sides. He’s got you on the one hand who boosts his ego, satisfies him sexually and a wife at home that’s running the household, seeing to the children, and keeping the family going.

He’s happy living two lives. Two lives that will remain separate and will never cross paths.

So, does he feel guilty? Absolutely, however, he will always justify his actions to quell his conscience.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait for him to see a reason or if you need to move on.

8) He doesn’t want to hurt anyone else by leaving his wife.

Your man might not want to hurt his wife or kids by leaving them behind.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait for him or if you need to walk away from him entirely.

You can’t make him leave his family, and you can’t make him leave his wife, so it would be best for both of your lives if he did find a way out of this situation before things got worse than they already are.

Marriage is more than a bond between a husband and a wife. Two entire families are involved and each side will experience a great deal of hurt if he decides to divorce his wife.

9) He’s afraid of the unknown future.

Your man might be afraid of the unknown future and what it holds for him and his family.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait until he’s ready, or if you need to move on.

Your man might be afraid of the unknown future and what it holds for him and his family. If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait until he’s ready, or if you need to move on.

The decision will depend largely upon how much time has passed since your relationship started taking place in a comfortable environment with no pressure from outside sources (e.g., work).

In general, people tend not to want their relationships out of balance when they are at an early stage because there isn’t enough information about whether things can continue that way as life progresses.

10) He doesn’t want to hurt you.

Your man might not want to hurt you by leaving his wife, and he might be afraid that if he does leave, you won’t be there for him.

Or, he just doesn’t have any inclination of leaving her and he doesn’t want to hurt you by telling you the truth.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait for him or if you need to move on.

11) He’s not ready for the changes that come along with dating again.

Your man might not be ready to date again because he’s not ready for all of the changes that come along with it.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait for him or if you need to move on.

You can’t change his mind or make him deal with all of these changes, so you might have to let go of him and walk away from your relationship.

The mere thought of joining the dating game again is not for the faint-hearted, so it might be a scary thought for a married man to have to go through the entire process again, especially if he feels you might not be “the one” for him.

12) He doesn’t want his kids growing up without him.

Your man might not want his kids to grow up without him in their lives, so he’s choosing to stay with his wife for their sake.

If this is the case, then you have to decide if you’re willing to wait for him or if you need to move on.

Divorce is an awful part of life and causes major damage to children. If your married boyfriend has kids, he probably has a lot going on in his mind about the possible ramifications on how it will affect them.

He might also come from a broken home and he is trying to shield his children from experiencing the same hurt.

13) He’s afraid of losing you, too.

Your man might not want to leave his marriage because he doesn’t want to risk losing you as well.

It’s a huge concern. He might think that the moment he leaves his wife, you’ll see him for what he really is and do the same. He could fear that leaving his wife puts him in a scenario where it’s lose, lose.

If you have no intention of doing so, talk to him about it. Support him and reassure him that you’re not going to abandon him if he decides to take the plunge.

It sounds like your guy is struggling with what decision would be best so it’s up to either of your hands now…

14) The timing is never right.

Your man might not want to leave his marriage because he doesn’t feel ready yet. After all, he’s living two different lives and he might not see any rush in making such a rash decision.

He may just need more time before making such a big step and that takes patience from both parties – which means waiting out whatever amount of time

You need to ask yourself if you’re prepared to wait it out, rather end things and move on with your life.

15) He doesn’t keep his promises to you

He doesn’t have time for you or your relationship because he is too busy with his work and family.

He tells you that he will call you, but doesn’t.

You tell him that you love him and want to spend more time with him, but he makes excuses why he can’t.

He tells you that he will be coming over to see you, but gets called out of town on business by his boss at the last minute.

16) He talks about big plans but never takes action.

You know what I mean. He tells you that he’s going to take you on a tropical vacation and you want to believe it so bad, but, it’s pie in the sky.

Or, he talks about taking you on a weekend getaway but when the time comes, something always seems to come up and he flakes on you.

When someone is flaking out or not following through with their promises of things they say will happen in future dates or times then this can be frustrating for people who are trying hard enough as is because life doesn’t seem fair sometimes!

So if somebody says they’re going to do something big like move into your house tomorrow (or next week) and doesn’t follow through then there may be some underlying issues.

17) You don’t get introduced to anyone important to him.

You know the score.

He always says things like “wow, my mom is going to love you! ” or, “My business partner is going to get on so well with you but you never meet these people. He’s still hiding you from them.

He always introduces you to others as “his friend”. He’s still sneaking around.

You’re a dirty little secret and he still thinks he can keep it that way for now.

Secondly, if he were to introduce you to these people, then you’d be on a very short list of women who’ve been introduced to these people and that means – if they don’t like you – they’ll know what’s going on and will almost certainly say something to him.

This means it will be harder for him to keep up the charade of pretending you’re just friends and nothing more.

Would a married man ever leave his wife?

We all know that a man who is already married will not easily leave his wife for a single woman.

But there are men who did leave their wives and got married to the women they were dating

There’s never a textbook answer as each situation comes with a unique set of circumstances.

They are not all the same, but they have things in common. These men have what is called “character”.

What makes these men different from other men? What makes them so sure that they can leave their wives?

Why do they decide to leave them anyway? What happened to their families after they left? What are the consequences of leaving your family behind? Are they really happy with the woman they left their wives for?

The answers to these questions are not a secret.

There is a reason why these men left their wives and the reasons have something to do with the women they are dating.

There is something about them that makes those men leave their families for them. In most cases, this “something” is sex appeal.

These women have something special that makes them irresistible and hard to resist.

But there are also other reasons why men leave their wives for another woman besides sex appeal.

They leave because of infidelity, abuse, neglect, or abandonment by the wife or all of these things together.

Some men leave because they found out that they were married to someone they thought she was. Or, perhaps they’ve just outgrown each other.

A married man will leave his wife if he is unhappy with her, if he doesn’t love her anymore and if he feels that his marriage is not worth fighting for anymore. The same thing goes for a woman who wants to leave her husband.

There are many different reasons why a married person would want to end their marriage and they are all valid reasons.

No one can tell you what’s right or wrong when it comes to marriage because everyone has their own opinions about it.

It all depends on the people involved in the relationship and what makes them happy and content with each other.

What to do next.

It might be the right time to give your married boyfriend an ultimatum.

But you can decide to tell him that you are willing to wait for him as long as it takes.

You can also tell him that if he chooses to do otherwise, then you will have no choice but to walk away from the relationship.

Here’s the bottom line though…

If he is not willing to leave his wife, then you really need to ask yourself if you are willing to continue this relationship.

You can’t force him to do anything he doesn’t want to do. You have no control over that.

So if he is unwilling to leave his wife, then you have a decision of your own to make, and that decision should be based on whether or not you are willing to continue in this relationship under the current circumstances.

If he doesn’t choose you, you must leave him and let go. If someone isn’t in your life for the right reasons, it’s time to move on. There are countless people out there who want a relationship with somebody like you; all they need is for you to give them that chance.

Conclusion

When someone doesn’t have the courage to leave their current relationship, it is a clear indication that they are not in love with you but in love with the convenience of you.

A man who truly wants you will move heaven and earth to be with you, this includes leaving his wife.

If he just can’t seem to leave and continually makes excuses as to why he can’t, then it means that you are just an option for him, and if something better comes along, he will have no problem in leaving you like a sack of hot potatoes.

You deserve way more so walking away might be your best option.
