The Situation

"He said he needs time to process but never comes back to discuss"

The Brutal Truth

His "needing time to process" is code for avoiding you. He's not interested enough to engage and might be hoping you’ll forget about him. It’s a clear sign of emotional unavailability and lack of respect for your time and feelings.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might keep reaching out, begging for clarity or reassurance. This only fuels his lack of accountability and reinforces your insecurity. It’s crucial to recognize that you deserve more than sporadic communication.

💭 Something to Reflect On

If you found out a friend was being treated this way, what would you advise her to do?
