You Start Acting According to Your Thoughts (5/16)

Let’s continue that ‘working late’ scenario. Once you get that text, rather than responding with, “Sorry you have to stay late, let me know when you’d like to reschedule,” you start to get sad, you consult your friends on how to respond to this “heart wrenching” message you’ve received (hopefully they tell you to stop overanalyzing), you wonder if you should jump the gun and ask him if he wants to break up. If you both end up rescheduling, you may even start to act a bit distant, because you don’t know what to expect and you don’t trust that “I need to work late,” just means that he had to work late.
