@anxiouslyalej: How to take your power back with an avoidant ⬇️ → Stop TALKING. Every therapist tells you to express your feelings, set the boundary, threaten to leave. It leaves you looking as desperate as a substitute teacher trying to get the class quiet. Avoidants don’t change when you’re vulnerable. They change when they suffer the consequences of disrespecting you. → Less chihuahua, more composure. Let your actions speak for you. They cross a line, let the consequences do the teaching. No warnings. No paragraph texts. No “we need to talk.” → Let them suffer early. The most loving thing you can do is enforce consequences before you’re too resentful to stay. Late consequences are what cook you every time. → Decenter them entirely. Your avoidant cannot be the most important thing in your life. The second they realize they control your mood, your day, your peace, they deactivate, self-sabotage, and take you for granted in ways you can’t even imagine. Booked. Busy. Emotionally diversified. → Evidence over words, every time. Stop listening to what they say. Watch what they actually respond to. They’ll tell you “just come to me,” but the second you do, they shut down. Pull back? Enforce a consequence? Suddenly that same nonchalant person is crawling on their hands and knees. You don’t get your power back by being louder. You get it back by moving in silence. ✅DM me the word ‘MASTERCLASS’ and I’ll DM you the link 🔗 #feminineenergy #womensdatingadvice #avoidantattachment #relationships #datingadvice

To love an avoidant is to learn to love yourself first.

This sounds exhausting. It’s like playing games. Love should not be like this.

I think there’s too much resentment but he won’t admit it. We have been in this toxic cycle for 18 years. I’m finally emotionally bankrupt. I feel dead inside.

Can you share examples as consequences? When I detach from him, he does the same. When I reach out he leans in. It’s exhausting. So I feel like it’s a cycle

Juanito, aka Doner :
I used to overexplain and the result was always being left alone. I have stopped talking or texting long argumentations, instead, I journal everything I feel and it helps me internalise and be less frustrated. somehow, it has helped me boost my confidence and my capacity to not react to his manipulation

My husband now understands that if he wants to spend time with me, he must make plans and not assume I’m available. I often make plans for the weekend that don’t include him, I do the things I want to do. We were drifting so far apart and he was extremely avoidant. He’s getting better now that I have centred myself and my needs. He’s fallen back in love and is checked back into the marriage. I didn’t yell, scream or beg, I just pulled back.

anyone listening to this and thinking it's worth it: you deserve better. relationships aren't a competition, and it's not worth putting in time and effort into someone who refuses to show up

The moment I stopped being the chihuahua and stopped being combative, I realized my man is actually in love with me and wants to be all in my face

7 years of me yelling and crying and begging for changes that would never come. Two weeks after my husband moved out and I detached and refused to allow him access to the house , he immediately changed and truly changed . The more I centered myself the more he centered me.
