The Situation

"He said he's not ready for marriage but proposed to his ex after six months"

The Brutal Truth

He's not being honest with you. Saying he's not ready for marriage while proposing to someone else signals a profound commitment issue or emotional unavailability. You're worth more than mixed signals and empty promises.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling tighter, trying to convince him to reconsider or shower him with affection, believing that proving their worth will change his mind. This is harmful because it ignores their own needs and self-worth for the sake of someone else's indecision.
