Stashing: Beware of this nasty dating trend! – Video

You let him into your life – but he hides you? Then it could be that your loved one is stashing. In the video you can see what you have to pay particular attention to!

You let him into your life – and he doesn't let you!

Have you been with your partner for a while? Sometimes you go out with your friends, and he has sat at your parents' table over strawberry cake and had a good chat with them? Wonderful!

Or? Something is still wrong. His life remains his secret, you have never met his friends and are never there when he goes around the houses with them. Sure, we understand that the guys also want to be among themselves. That's what we want to be with our friends sometimes. But why does he get mad when you post a photo of the two of you on Facebook or Instagram?

At some point it feels strange not to be able to participate in your life at all. Because the whole thing remains one-sided, there is no give and take. You have willingly let him into your life – and he doesn't.

Doesn't he find me presentable?

All of this scratches your self-esteem: doesn't he find me presentable? Does he only want me because he's having fun in bed with me? Does he have other women? It's easy to blame yourself for hiding you from friends and family, and your self-doubts grow.

But it's probably not your fault at all. What your friend does to you is called stashing. To stash means "hide" and that's what he does to you.

These are the reasons for stashing

Why? Most likely reason: He doesn't give your relationship a future. So it doesn't make sense for him to integrate you into his life.

But be careful: Since you can never know what the other person is really thinking, you should definitely speak to them and ask for an honest answer. After all, it could also be that he prefers to be alone with you, because then you are undisturbed. Or that he's afraid that you will reject his friends, or that he doesn't even want to get to know them.

As always in relationships, the motto is: talk to each other! And if he comes around the corner with just a few flimsy arguments, draw your conclusions.
