Say you're totally fine with it, even though you're a little hurt inside

Start thinking about whether they're loyal enough for a long-term commitment

Start feeling suffocated and pull back a little

Tell them they're the one and start planning your future together

Stop bringing up your own needs so you don't scare them away

Mentally check out and give one-word answers until it's over
