@burned_notbroken: my BEST advice at the end!! the worst thing you can do for a burned out pursuer who has asked for space is pressure them, ignore their request for space, or become cruel and manipulative. what they need is patience, an attempt to understand, and emotional safety. #burnedoutpursuer #relationshipburnout #emotionalsafety #separation #breakuptok

I hate every second of every second. I hate myself more for him hurting. I hate I didn't understand anxious attachment vs avoidant and the damage it causes. I wish we BOTH understood what was happening before it happened. 💔

Question, she wanted space Thursday. So I have been not trying to initiate with her at all. Today she brings up one of my hobbies we went back and forth a bit strictly about the hobby nothing more. Wondering if that was the right call and trying to get a clue about it?

Something that sucks is that I’m the burnt out pursuer but he’s a dismissive avoidant so he’s the one ending things right now. I pushed and pushed and he told me last week he was done. So I’ve given him space since. He started moving more towards me the last couple of days, but I’m staying my path and still going to keep space and work on healthier choices for me. I have no idea what we’re gonna do. I move out in three weeks and I don’t know if we’re going no contact or breaking up fully. My therapist said 2 months would be good for no contact so it gives us a chance to reset and refresh. It’s hard to trust the process. But then I see people like you and it gives me hope.

I was the one who wanted space and needed the time. Now I’m ready to try to work on things after my own healing and he wants nothing to do with me anymore. I’ve done all the wrong things by begging for him to talk and it just pushes him away. Now he says he hates me. I’m totally lost at what to do at this point? I’m not sure if I just need to accept that the time I needed was the worst thing for us.

is it wrong if when she said that she wanted the relationship but didn't think it was fair to make me wait I told her that I didn't want her to think of what's fair to me I told her not to do that and that I'd wait for her

She doesn’t want to talk bout personal stuff, but I learn bout it from her mom. I would love to talk bout it with her but I try not too. Is me texting her “Good luck ❤️” or “Have a good day ❤️” too much?

he is slowly coming back, the consistency is there, the curiosity, and the warmth, but i somehow still feel ignored. Like i matter, but there is still uncertainty, is that normal?

In my case he asked for space , my last response to him was what was the reason for the space ,if it was something fixable or if he met someone else but he never responded. Now one thing to ask fr space with no explication is odd cause what must I do in limbo. its been 2 weeks

i just keep asking about "getting back together " and she doesn't want it, but she said she wants to go to therapy and then we'll see. it's HARD to detach

What does it mean if they asked for space then a few months later said they filed for divorce but didn’t file as I can’t find the case and haven’t been served?

Mine said he was unwilling to try to meet my "unreasonable needs" and wrote me a multiple page SOP on how I should sleep with other men so I would quit harping on him, asking for something he just can't give me. Then, as if that wasn't hurtful enough, he told me that he was ready to date someone else, so I should too. I told him point blank, if we date other people, there is no coming back. I don't think he realized how serious I was after 20 years together. I wanted closeness. He insisted on creating more separation. I moved on. I'd already grieved our relationship by that point. Turns out, he was wrong. He WASN'T the "only one who would ever put up with me" after all. Even though I'm happy in a new relationship now, the shame of failing that marriage still hurts. I spent my teens, twenties, and half my thirties with him.
