The Situation

"He goes distant during sports season"

The Brutal Truth

He's prioritizing sports over you, showing little respect for your time and feelings. This behavior suggests he's emotionally unavailable and potentially not ready for a real relationship. You deserve better than being an option when it’s convenient for him.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

You might cling to him even more, texting him frequently or trying to engage during games. This is the wrong move, as it pushes him further away and compromises your self-worth. You don't deserve to chase someone who isn’t fully in it.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What does it say about your self-worth if you tolerate being sidelined for someone else's interests?
