Tessa ReneeDear men, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite cop-out: “I’m busy.” On the surface, it sounds reasonable. Life is hectic, schedules clash, responsibilities pile up. But here’s the thing—no one is too busy for the people they actually value. “Busy” isn’t an excuse. It’s a red flag.
When a man says he’s too busy to call, text, or make plans, what he’s really saying is, “You’re not a priority.” And that’s the part that stings—not the lack of time, but the lack of intention. Because the truth is, people make time for what matters. CEOs running billion-dollar companies still text their partners back. Soldiers in deployment find a way to write letters. If he’s “too busy,” it’s not his calendar—it’s his commitment.
Let’s break it down:
-
Too busy to text back? Translation: you’re not on his mind.
-
Too busy to see you? Translation: effort isn’t worth it to him.
-
Too busy to communicate? Translation: he’d rather let you guess than give you clarity.
And here’s the kicker, men who overuse “busy” usually aren’t as swamped as they claim. They’re scrolling on their phones, hanging with friends, bingeing shows, just not with you. The word “busy” becomes a shield to hide disinterest without admitting it outright.
So don’t romanticize excuses. Don’t fall for the illusion that one day his schedule will magically clear. If he wanted to, he would. And if he doesn’t, your job isn’t to wait, it’s to walk.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
Busy men make excuses. Available men make effort. Know the difference.
