The Situation

"He said he needs more time but it's been over a year"

The Brutal Truth

He doesn’t want to commit and is keeping you around as a fallback. His need for 'more time' is just an excuse to avoid facing the reality of your relationship. Don’t settle for this endless limbo.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling tightly or attempt to change themselves to fit his needs, believing that if they just give him more time, he’ll feel ready. This is the wrong move because it ignores their own needs and self-worth.
