@drewwdaniels: You must trigger the Avoidant Partner. DM me if you are interested in a coaching program that helps you heal your attachment wounds. #attachmentstyles #avoidantattachment #avoidant #anxiousattachment
fair enough. but me doing all of this just for them to go on a week of no contact to "work on themselves" feels like punishment to me. Even if they come back "better"

For all the people saying that “I did set a boundary and it triggered them and then they left”… I don’t know how to have you believe me right now, but that was good. You now have this information: I won’t shrink for someone else’s comfort (self trust), my avoidant partner wasn’t capable of meeting me in growth of our relationship (self awareness), and I now won’t stay committed to a relationship that doesn’t honor my experience in it (self respect). That may have saved you years of heartache and if you were already years in, it saved you from additional years of heartache. Tolerating avoidant behavior is not how you should exist within a relationship. And every time you made yourself small to avoid their trigger, you made yourself a ghost in the relationship. Set the boundary early and the person who stays is “your person”. Not the one you had to shrink for to keep.

I am an avoidant clinical psychologist, doing the work is hard, but with an educated patient and supportive partner, improvement happens.

This is your gentle reminder: you aren’t responsible for fixing the other person 💕

I’ve triggered my partner. It works. We got into many separations but overall, he finally worked on himself and we are still in this journey.

Mine started working on himself after I walked out and got on a plane for Europe for 2 weeks and didn’t reply to texts while there, or contact him when I got back.

I was the anxious one, totally his fault. I was very secure but after years of him making me feel bad in every argument, I turned into an anxious mess.

I’m secure and I was not going to be miserable for the rest of my life so after three months, I noticed the pattern I call it quit. It’s been six weeks. I have not reached out and so did him.

Yes. It’s been 26 years. And all those years I thought it was me. I was too loud. I was too much. I was too emotional. And he was the one who was always fine. Until he wasn’t. But it didn’t come out that way. He shut down so hard that I think he stopped liking me. Or himself. But he was so shut down he didn’t know what he was doing. Until his EA came to light. And he told me one story about how he felt after getting some negative feedback at his work. And it finally all clicked.

Di@mond :
I left with the intent of never coming back and he reached out after 2 months saying it was rough for him and I made it clear that I valued myself way more and I’m all about growth and that I was gonna call him out on everything soooooo🤣🤷🏾♀️. We still or working on things especially with our baby on the way, but he told me he loves me but he’s scared of me and tbh I’m not even doing much aside from having him face himself and staying true to myself.

There’s so much truth to of all this… a lot has unpacked but it takes to DEDICATED DISCIPLINED DETERMINED PEOPLE… to do the work internally within themselves.

I choose who I speak to just as much I choose who speaks to me. I have no interest in fighting to remain in the life of somebody who objectively does not want me in it. it's not my job to do so. I am done chasing. they are not my job to fix. that's for a therapist to do.
