As a therapist and someone who had to work through her anxious attachment style, I don’t think villainizing an avoidant is appropriate . Avoidants were once children whose needs were not met and they needed to learn to become self sufficient . They learn that vulnerability isn’t safe or welcomed so they shut down . Both anxious and avoidants have the same work to do . It’s like have two different emotional metabolisms .

I really lost myself piece by piece.. My Worth and my actual Lifegoals.. He said he loved me for my Strength and emotional awareness.. me always being caring and emotionally supporting others..Now I do understand. But right now I’m just really grieving the Version I’ve been before all this has happened. My own self!

It’s been the worst experience of my life. N yet the avoidant came back to me time and time again but I’m the one who let them back in. I wish I never had

I love my avoidant, he has loved me as I have loved him. I forgive him for his inability to provide me what I need. It hurts and will always hurt to set him free.

but, what you learn once you run from them is to love yourself and what to look for in your future partner...

i was completly destroyed by the unavailability of an avoidant .i just needed a partner but his behaviour unavailability ,lack of communication Completly destroyed me.I did ally effort but in vain.i cried,left alone.There was pain suffering in my heart.After exhaustion i left him for my peace.ans i know nature cannot be changed nor i will change him.I hope no one goes through that.You matter .Your needs matter.Leave him.

It’s a kind of deep pain, soul crushing pain thats so hard to overcome. The whole situation messes with your mind, especially when they pull the rug while still in the honeymoon phase

Maria :
Thank you for this. My ex is an avoidant and I was securely attached in the beginning then transitioned to anxious to an extent. She is spot on- the damage from dating an avoidant is truly unlike anything I’ve ever experienced to my nervous system. I hope everyone can heal, including my ex, so these unhealthy and harmful behaviors don’t repeat.

I was with an avoidant for almost 2 years and in the beginning, it was great, but then began the breadcrumbing. Leaving me wondering what I did wrong. Learn to prioritize yourself when they refuse to prioritize you and no response is a response unfortunately.

I swear this is true, I have no idea who I am anymore & I genuinely don’t feel like I’ll ever be the same again .. I really don’t know how to explain it .. but I feel so stupid because I’m very aware of what’s going on but I just don’t know how to leave ..
