The Situation

"He only wants to cuddle when it's cold outside"

The Brutal Truth

He sees affection as a convenience rather than a commitment. Cuddling is reserved for his comfort, showing he’s emotionally unavailable when it comes to genuine intimacy and connection.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might scramble for reasons or excuses for his behavior, convincing themselves it's not that bad. This is a slippery slope because it encourages settling for crumbs instead of demanding what they truly deserve: consistent affection and care.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What would it feel like to have someone who values your warmth and presence all year round, not just when the conditions are right?
