The Situation

"He wants ten groomsmen and no bridesmaids"

The Brutal Truth

This is a classic sign of someone who prioritizes their friends and their desires over partnership. It suggests he values his preferences above shared decision-making and may lack the emotional availability needed for a mutually supportive relationship.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might overthink this, trying to 'understand' his choice and assume it's about them. This leads to chasing validation instead of asserting their needs, which can perpetuate self-doubt and insecurity.

đź’­ Something to Reflect On

How would it feel to value your own needs equally in a partnership, rather than accommodating someone else's preferences?
