Hello everyone:)!

Does that mean that it has a similar meaning to "to be torn between..."? Would it be possible to write it in gerund?

Kekel, sorry, I always ask questions in your threads!

Thanks in advance.

To stammer or beat around the bush, as in, "Stop your hemming and hawing and just tell me what you think the problem is."
