The Situation

"He texts while driving with me in the car"

The Brutal Truth

This is a clear sign of disrespect. His choice to text while driving shows he prioritizes his phone over your safety and the moment together. It indicates he’s inattentive and lacks consideration, which are critical red flags in a relationship.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might ignore this behavior, convincing themselves it's not a big deal or that they should be grateful for any attention. This is wrong because it downplays their worth and safety, enabling disrespectful behavior.

💭 Something to Reflect On

If someone truly cares about you, how should their actions reflect that?
