Summary
You love him. You want to be with only him. But he wants to keep his options open. He knows how much it hurts you that he can’t give you the commitment you want, so why does he stay in touch and keep stringing you along?
The reason is simple. What you need to do about it, well, that’s the hard part. In today’s LOVE Life, I take a call from a young woman named Julia who’s in this painful situation. I explain what’s going on in his head and tell her how to respond. If you, too, have ever found yourself holding onto hope that a man will give you more because he’s not kind enough to let you go, don’t miss this episode.

| 0:00.0 | This is Love Life. I am your host Matthew Hussie and I am so glad you're here that I wanted |
| 0:07.6 | to do something special for you today. Since I get asked so many questions about texting, |
| 0:12.6 | I've decided to put together a free guide for you called the Nine Magic Texts No Man |
| 0:17.4 | Come Resist. These are literally copy and paste scripts that you can use in all kinds of |
| 0:22.0 | situations to get a man to ask you out, to create attraction and desire and to become |
| 0:27.3 | the most intriguing woman in his life. Now I'm going to tell you exactly how you can get |
| 0:31.9 | your free guide at the end of the show. So stay tuned. First, let's get into the episode. |
| 0:39.9 | We have another caller coming in today. Her name is Julia. Julia. Hi. Hi. Julia, why |
| 0:46.9 | do you tell us your question? Okay, well it's a little complicated, but I'll try to make |
| 0:50.8 | it short. I've been with this guy for about two years. We broke up eight months ago. For |
| 0:57.4 | the past eight months, I've been in like competition with this girl online. Like a girl he never |

| 1:12.5 | want to commit, I don't want to commit to a relationship. But I feel like he's committed |
| 1:16.8 | to her because he's always going back to her and me. So why is it like so hard for him |
| 1:22.4 | to commit? Or is it just like he wants her because he knows he's temporary and he sees |
| 1:28.6 | a future with me and that scares him? I don't know. Like why is it so hard for him to commit |
| 1:32.8 | from like a guy's perspective? Wait, so he slept with his ex once when when you were in |
| 1:38.8 | a relationship? No, it was when we broke up, but I just recently found out. Okay, so he |
| 1:44.1 | slept with his ex after he was with you. Right. And he's also been talking to this woman |
