What does it mean when a guy loves you in private but does the opposite in public?

[Anonymous]

In public he stays distant and quite especially Infront of his family, friends or stranger...

In private he will love me a lot and give me affection.

[TheThingALing]

Because the love dovy way he acts with you in private which you adore, needs to be dialed back some in public so he isn't judged and lose social status

[TheThingALing]

He may dial back so excessively though that you truly feel a sense of being unloved thought, that I can't answer

[poetic_pisces]

you are his side chick

or he is embarrassed to have you

or he has another girlfriend

or he has another crush

or he is waiting for someone better to come around

in all these cased dont accept !

no matter how much you love him

[Simslover92]

Either you're a side dish or he's embarrassed of you.

[FilmGuy93]

At best, it means that he isn't comfortable with displaying affection around others. At worst, it means that he doesn't want to "claim you" in public.

One of two things.

1. You're an option to him not a priority.

Or

2. You are not reasonable when it comes to his attention. You matter, and are the priority. But you are NOT the only person in his life and you don't get that.

Now since we don't know you we can't say for certain which it is.

I actually have a firend and her boyfriend does this a lot.

[Opinion Owner]

Same statement applies.

[Asker]

You mean your statement for any man who behaves this way?

[Opinion Owner]

Man and or woman. There's more than one variable at play here as I said.

[Summeroflove]

Depends. Hopefully he’s not ashamed of you. But if he isn’t too PDA in public. It’s not maybe a bad thing.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Seems like he's reserved / shy... I know a lot of couples who never show affection in front of other people because one or both of them don't like it and find it uncomfortable...

[Mangospacho]

It means he has sociopathic tendencies and could possibly be a homicidal maniac. Either that or he is just a strange individual.

[hbg84]

He's embarrassed of you and flippant want people to know he's with you

[Shy_Steve]

It means he is Using you, There are a lot of Guys who would never do that but you Girls usually date the Guys that do.

[In_Trance]

It means you need to have an open and honest conversation with him

[Asker]

So this thing that he does should make me question him?

[In_Trance]

You can do whatever you want all I'm saying is you need to get on the same page

[Asker]

I see, I'm actually asking this for a firend, her boyfriend does this a lot with her.

[In_Trance]

It's always for a friend

[Anonymous]

It means you should wake up to reality. There is no fairytale ending

[Nikki1989]

You need a better guy.

[serious_miss419]

It means you put up with it

[Jazzy54]

He’s a jackass.

[aquamarine321]

He’s cheating
