The Situation

"He's taking longer to respond than usual what did I do wrong"

The Brutal Truth

His delayed response likely means he's distracted or uninterested. You didn’t do anything wrong, but his behavior shows a lack of respect for your time and feelings, indicating possible emotional unavailability.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
