The Situation

"He says marriage is just paperwork but won't stop teasing me with hints"

The Brutal Truth

He's downplaying marriage to avoid commitment while taunting you with hints. It signals emotional unavailability and mixed messages. This behavior keeps you dangling without a clear commitment, creating confusion and insecurity in the relationship.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
