The Situation

"She keeps saying she'll make a budget but never does"

The Brutal Truth

Her repeated promises to budget but no follow-through shows she's either not taking your relationship seriously or is avoiding deeper issues. It signals a pattern of inconsistency and lack of commitment, which is a red flag for future plans together.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to persuade her to stick to a budget, rationalizing her behavior as being unsure or unprepared. This is wrong because it ignores the clear signs of emotional unavailability and reliance on inconsistency, ultimately undermining their self-worth.
