One of the hardest things in a relationship is loving someone who does not seem to be on the same page as you. You may be ready to build a future together. Maybe you have already started thinking about marriage, living together or simply having a more serious relationship. But your partner keeps saying, "I am not ready yet." At first, you may give them time. Then a few months pass, and you are still waiting. You start checking their behaviour, reading into their messages and wondering if they really see a future with you. This can make even a loving relationship feel stressful. But before you decide what to do, it helps to understand why this happens.
