UPDATE: He proposed!!! The anxious attachment girl got her secure love 😭
Sophie Chen · January 22, 2026
I posted here 2 years ago absolutely terrified that my anxious attachment style would ruin my relationship. You all recommended therapy, books, and self-compassion. I did ALL of it. And guess what? He proposed last weekend on our anniversary trip to Portugal. I'm sitting here in tears writing this because I genuinely never thought I could have a healthy, secure relationship. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me. Therapy works. Growth is possible. Love is real. 💍

I think 6 months is fine IF you've had all the hard conversations first.

Can we normalize having high standards?? This isn't being picky, it's having self-respect.

Wait, are you dating my ex? 😂 But seriously, this is textbook avoidant behavior.

I was in your exact shoes last year. Here's what I did...

SAME. I'm so tired of being the only one putting in effort.

Honestly? I think you already know the answer. Trust your gut.
