The Commitment Trigger

You know the moment. The house has gone quiet, everyone's asleep, and your phone is the only light left on. You open a new tab and type something you would never say out loud to another human being.

"Why won't he marry me."

You scroll. You close the tab. You open another. Every article says the same thing — "communicate your needs," "give him space," "just be patient." You've done all three. For years.
