Why He Can Love You… and Still Not Want You

Why He Can Love You… and Still Not Want You
by Catherine Josephine | The Love Priestess™
He said he loved you.
And you felt it.
The way he looked at you.
The way he held you.
The way he said, “I’ve never felt this before.”
It wasn’t fake.
It wasn’t casual.
It wasn’t meaningless.
And still…
he didn’t stay.
Because the most painful truth in love is this:
A man can love you and still not choose you.
He can love you… and still leave.
This Is What Confuses So Many Women.
We think:
“If he loves me, he’ll fight for me.”
“If he loves me, he’ll commit.”
“If he loves me, he’ll stay.”
But love alone is not enough.
Love is a feeling.
Commitment is a decision.
He might feel deeply for you.
But if he’s not ready…
If he’s emotionally unavailable…
If he’s afraid of responsibility, intimacy, or being truly seen…
Then your love will scare him more than it moves him.
His Love Was Real, But His Capacity Was Limited.
You didn’t imagine it.
You didn’t make it up.
You were loved.
But sometimes, a man’s love is immature.
It loves what’s convenient, not what’s sacred.
It loves you when it feels good, not when it gets real.
That’s not your fault.
That’s his edge he’s not willing to meet.
If You Already Feel Unlovable, This Hurts Even More.
Because this confirms the fear you’ve carried since childhood:
“I’m not good enough to be kept.”
“I’m always the one they leave.”
“Even when I’m loved… I’m not wanted.”
But here’s what I want you to know, gently and truthfully:
His inability to choose you is not a reflection of your worth.
It’s a reflection of his readiness.
Your value is not measured by who stays.
It’s measured by how fully you choose yourself even when others don’t.
Stop Settling for Half-Hearted Love.
Don’t twist yourself into something more convenient.
Don’t dim your love just to keep his comfort.
Don’t stay in confusion because your heart can’t bear the truth.
He may love you.
But that doesn’t mean he’s your person.
