Understanding Mixed Signals: Supportive Partner or Hidden Jealousy?
The Situation
"She said she's supportive but gets upset when I have work events"
The Brutal Truth
She claims to be supportive, but her frustration over your work events reveals insecurity and emotional unavailability. It’s a warning sign that her words don’t match her actions, leading to mixed signals and potential control issues.
