The Situation

"He acts single when he's with his friends"

The Brutal Truth

His behavior screams: I'm not fully committed to you! By acting single, he’s prioritizing his friends’ approval over your relationship. It signals a lack of respect and seriousness about what you both are building. You deserve better than a man split between loyalties.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling harder, desperate to 'prove' their worth and keep him close. This is wrong because it ignores your needs and allows toxic behavior to fester instead of addressing it head-on.

💭 Something to Reflect On
