of two minds
Unable to decide
Of two minds describes being undecided between two options or views, unable to settle on one: I'm of two minds about taking the job—the pay is better but the commute is brutal.
The phrase suggests genuine internal conflict rather than mere indifference.
Also in two minds, especially in British English.
