The Situation

"He won't take engagement photos but wants perfect invitations"

The Brutal Truth

He prioritizes appearances over genuine commitment. Wanting perfect invitations without participating in the engagement process shows he’s focused on status rather than the relationship. This imbalance indicates emotional unavailability and a lack of respect for meaningful shared moments.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might pressure him to take those photos, hoping to convince him of the relationship's seriousness. This only reinforces his behavior, showing him that his lack of commitment is acceptable while increasing your anxiety and self-doubt.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What signals am I receiving about his priorities and how do they reflect on my worth? Am I settling for less than I deserve?
