Perplexed by a major dilemma refers to a state of being thoroughly confused or puzzled by a significant and hard-to-resolve problem or decision. This phrase often represents a situation where one finds it challenging to make a choice between two or more alternatives because the potential outcomes are equally difficult or uncertain. The feeling of being perplexed is typically associated with mental bewilderment and an inability to find a clear resolution.
