Navigating the Mixed Signals of Commitment in Relationships
The Situation
"She said she wants to take things slow but brings up marriage constantly"
The Brutal Truth
Her words say 'slow', but her actions scream 'I want forever.' This contradiction shows her ongoing struggle with attachment and insecurity. She's likely testing your reactions while having her own fears, not necessarily wanting to rush things with you.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
