The Situation

"He says we need one more milestone before proposing"

The Brutal Truth

His excuse for needing 'one more milestone' is likely a cover for commitment issues. He may not be sure about the relationship or is stalling. This indicates emotional unavailability or fear of commitment, not a genuine desire for growth.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to over-please, convincing themselves that if they just fulfill his requirements, he will propose. This behavior is wrong because it sacrifices self-worth and leads to unhealthy dynamics.
