The Situation

"She doesn't prioritize our relationship because of the distance"

The Brutal Truth

He’s using distance as an excuse not to commit. If he truly wanted you in his life, he’d find a way to prioritize the relationship, no matter the miles. This is a clear sign he may not be invested.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might overcompensate by putting in even more effort, trying to prove their worth or make him see the relationship's potential. This doesn’t fix anything; it further diminishes your self-worth and sets a dangerous precedent.

💭 Something to Reflect On

How often do you find yourself justifying someone's lack of effort in your relationship? What is this pattern teaching you about your own needs and boundaries?
