The Situation

"He wants to save for a ring but buys new watches instead"

The Brutal Truth

He doesn't value commitment enough to prioritize saving for your future together. Instead, he's prioritizing temporary satisfaction over long-term goals. This behavior shows he's not serious about the relationship, and his intentions are misaligned with your hopes.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might chase after him, trying to validate his decisions or to convince him to prioritize the relationship. This is wrong because it undermines your self-worth; you shouldn't have to persuade someone to care about your future together.
