The Situation

"She says our future kids can decide later but dismisses my concerns"

The Brutal Truth

She’s bending to avoid confrontation and denying your need for clarity. By deflecting your concerns, she’s putting emotional distance between you both. Instead of directly addressing the issue, she’s opting for ambiguity, which signals a lack of accountability for your shared future.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might overanalyze every detail, seeking validation and reassurance from her. This is wrong because it places undue pressure on her to provide clarity she’s unwilling to offer, and devalues their own need for clear communication and mutual respect.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What do I need to feel secure in a relationship, and am I truly receiving it from my partner?
