Why He Takes Hours to Respond but is Active on Instagram
The Situation
"He takes hours to respond but is always active on Instagram"
The Brutal Truth
He's more interested in validating himself via social media than connecting with you. His delayed responses reveal he doesn’t prioritize you, showing a lack of respect for your time and feelings. You deserve someone who communicates openly and prioritizes your connection.
