Emotional Support Relationship: Sometimes relationships start without any name, just friendship, trust and an emotional connection. But when one person slowly becomes the 'most essential support system' while the other just considers them a friend, the risk of heartbreak increases. This is the story of one such person who provided emotional support for years and is now confused. This is the story of a man who becomes the primary emotional support for a girl (Bhavya). He listened to her problems related to family pressure, fear, financial difficulties and past relationships. Friendship gradually turned into one-sided love.
Bhavya trusted him, went on trips with him, shared a room and even a bed, had deep conversations, and gave off "friend to lover" signals. But he never openly expressed romantic commitment. The problem here is that the emotional labor became one-sided.
When he proposed, there was no yes and no no – just silence. This silence is an answer in itself. Clear communication is important in any relationship. Constant avoidance often shows that the other person does not see the relationship on the same level.
Bhavya considers him her "forever friend". In such cases, a person is often used as an emotional safety net – providing support, time, and care, but without romantic commitment. This may be unintentional, but it still hurts.
By posting it on Reddit, the boy asked for people's opinion, on which one user said that if she wanted to marry you, she would have said yes. But he had to think, right? Another user said she hesitated because it was an option and maybe better than her other options, but it wasn't what she really wanted.
