@iamnancycooper: In this video we discuss how childhood emotional experiences shape adult relationship dynamics, specifically how men who grew up with emotionally unavailable mothers might respond to conflict by creating distance, which can be misinterpreted as abandonment by their partners. #motherwound #attachmentstyle #relationships #datingadvice #ghosting
So blocking me and leaving me to cry all through the holiday was a sign that he cared so much wow

This is a great explanation. You very accurately described my partner. I know he cares and loves me. He can support me if someone else has upset me but never when he’s caused the problem. I’m emotionally intelligent and I can intellectually understand what is happening. I don’t want to leave. He is making progress at a glacial pace.

I hear you, but he’s grown up now and he knows I have abandonment issues so to punish me with blocking in silence runs deep

I've been studying a lot about this, and now I'm feel comfortable that I understand attachment issues in general and avoidance especially. I've never ever been one to be impatient or unwilling to understand others, even if this was a particularly hard journey trying to understand his attachment issues. Though now that I do, and I understand why he left and is hardly there for me as my friend despite saying he wants to hangout more, I'm realizing I'm exhausted from learning about him and why he acts the way he does, and now I just want to continue to learn more about myself and do what feels good to me.
I still love him and there will be lots of love and patience should he ever want to connect with me more, but the best fertile ground for that to happen anyways is for me to keep just focusing on myself and creating safe space for me to recover from my attachment issues 😊

I wish I saw this 2 months ago. because if I understood this I wouldn't have felt abandoned and unloved. I would have approached our relationship completely different. but I chased and cried and begged for communication and assurance. it became exhausting in 2 months so he broke up with me.

I wish I had these words when I was going through it with my ex last month. I think they really would’ve helped us. But instead, he deemed us incompatible and walked away. It’s too late now.

Finally blocked each other again on Christmas eve. I'm glad he did because I was still emotionally tethered and wanted to fix things again. Even after finding out theres someone 3 days before.

Katie :
the hard thing was he was FANTASTIC at coregulation when it was my anxious attachment, but when it came to his avoidance? nope, he ran and hid, every single time. such a shame because I truly wanted to support him, instead, he "doesn't think he loves me the same way I love him."
