Signs He Is Emotionally Immature

Do you have serious misgivings about your relationship? Having a relationship with an emotionally immature partner is very similar to having a relationship with a child or a teen. He may be grown up physically but emotionally he is still a child... or teenager. What are the signs that he is emotionally immature?

i. He throws temper tantrums! Yes, we all get angry but an emotionally immature man will get so angry that he simply cannot function... he is that upset. And he will stay angry like that until he gets what he wants.

ii. He wants what he wants right NOW! An emotionally immature man cannot forgo anything today. Whatever he wants... he wants it now. Forgoing certain pleasures today so that together you can build a better future is not something he will do or even want you to do. He lives for today... and only for today.

iii. His mouth spews abuse and filth in an out of control manner. An emotionally undeveloped man simply cannot control his speech. When he is angry he will be completely mean and hurtful to you (or those who have upset him).

iv. He is selfish to the extreme. An emotionally immature man is by definition selfish and self centered. He expects you to do things for him... and he will rarely ever think about you. He rarely does anything for you... but he expects you to do things for him.

v. He is easily upset. An emotionally undeveloped man has no emotional shock absorbers so a whole lot of things upset him. Everything said that may be interpreted in a negative way he has the amazing ability of personalizing as an insult to him.

vi. He sulks and refuses to eat or talk to you. A man who is still emotionally young will cut you off emotionally when he is upset... until you come and plead for his forgiveness. And his forgiveness must be earned so a simply apology may not do it... you may have to continue soothing him with words until he consents to reconnecting with you.

vii. He NEVER apologizes! An emotionally immature man just cannot apologize for anything... even when he is clearly wrong. If it is clear that he is wrong then he will find a way to brush away his role in the wrong. To get an apology from him is akin to pulling teeth... and if it is given it will be framed in an inappropriate manner (to minimize the fact that he is wrong).

An emotionally immature man is emotionally exhausting to be in a relationship with as you bear the emotional weight of the relationship by yourself. Some emotionally immature men mature with time especially when children come into the relationship but some never mature emotionally... and they drain and exhaust you.
