The Situation

"He's younger and I feel like I'm babysitting him"

The Brutal Truth

He’s likely immature and not ready for a genuine partnership, relying on you for emotional guidance rather than being an equal. This dynamic can feel exhausting and unfulfilling, leaving you feeling undervalued.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try harder to 'fix' him or validate his feelings, believing they need to be the emotional caretaker. This enables his behavior and neglects their own needs, perpetuating a cycle of unfulfilling relationships.

💭 Something to Reflect On
