I’m really struggling with this. I have just ended the third budding relationship in the last year after yet another man said this exact same line.
I won’t get into the exact scenarios but it was basically used every time to avoid a defined commitment due to potential upcoming upheaval. But I thought the whole point of being in a relationship is working through those things together and making the uncertainty easier to handle?
I feel like every time I hear this now it triggers me because I realize they are acting like they are passive participants in their own life while I take an active role in mine.
