@drewwdaniels: On the surface they want peace, independence and control…. But as their frustration grows with their partner. They really want that person to be the most “secure” version of themselves. They want the part of you that can let a hurt feeling slide from time to time and can be okay with you letting them have some independence. But sadly that does come with a price. A secure partner is okay with detaching from a relationship where they aren’t getting their needs met. Not out of hate- but out of self love. #avoidantattachment #anxiousattachment #relationshipproblems #attachmentstyles #relationshiphealing
this is my bf and i cant even remark anything assertively or talk abt my feelings, even if it's in a loving tone bc he thinks of it as an attack and shuts down but like literally he freezes doesnt even look at me and i cant get a single word out of him, it's like a child having a tantrum

Ivy Tea DD :
As an avoidant I don't want to hold anyone down and be with me if I'm hurting them. I'm learning more about why I'm like this and in therapy, but most won't change unless they realize it and want to do the work. Bottom line... safe yourself.

And this is exactly why I told him I’m done, I want a separation and moved out the other day. I cannot keep this exact cycle going.

Getting an angry response every time you check in or ask a question is lonely. You just feel alone.

Just let them be with other avoidant and leave them to it. It’s not worth it because they never want to change

Ya, he didn’t want to work on himself at all, and I knew that if I did the things you say that the relationship would end. So I made myself smaller to keep it going, then that’s bad too, he lost respect and discarded me. It’s a no win situation, save yourself

How can you tell an avoidant he’s avoidant without telling him that directly?

Do avoidants want their partner to leave them alone for weeks or months, or do they want their partner to chase? Its confusing at times. Walking on eggshells not knowing what's going on in their mind.

Unbothered@40 :
my husband of 18 years is not emotionally there for me. He glued on his phone and check in more and communicates with his friends and family but does not share a thing with me. we live in one roof but i felt so alone and ignored. i am not financially capable of raising kids so i cannot leave him. i open up but hes the one who gets more angry and i said sorry just to be peace with him but at night im crying beside him in our bed and hes snoring

This is a new perspective of avoidants and I know truth when I see one. I do like how this makes sense! With childhood traumas, our mind wants to find answers and when someone is presented it makes sense that as soon as something goes wrong they will logic their mind to making the other person the problem, the blame. And avoidants definitely don't like to be seen because they know that is their vulnerability and as independent they hate anyone has that kind of power. This is brilliant. I wanna hear more
