Happened to me. 5 years together. Didn’t break up in person. Haven’t seen him in 2 years. Last time I saw him we were together. I was so unwell after that

You’re right. I remember being younger and just blowing relationships up for no reason (upon reflection) and having the action encouraged and agreed by friends around me too. And when I think back and actually break down some of the situations and reasons, I’ve realised how overly dramatic and illogical some of my thoughts and actions were.

Attachment to an avoidant forced me to have an ego death and ask myself why I was chasing someone who was running from themselves

I lived with an ex I felt completely secure with, never argued, he went to sleep spooning me as usual, got up went for a walk while I cooked brunch, came back from the walk and then said he wasn’t happy and was leaving. 🙃

I stopped eating because I became deeply attached to an avoidant man. Never again in my life

I can’t believe this is actually a thing. This is so cruel. Even just a 5 min conversation can prevent this.

They think they’re above you or that your emotions are a worldly distraction. It makes you feel as though your feelings are a fabrication of your own ego, causes you to devalue yourself and as a result of this you end up thinking that anyone who shows you interest or love is lying. Avoidance can teeter into narcissistic abuse really quick, and it’s contagious.

Dated a self-proclaimed avoidant man like 2 years ago. Never again! It like he thought that him communicating with me was doing me a favour. Yuck

To your point about moral righteousness, the craziest thing one ever said to me was "I respect you too much" while treating me with huge disrespect. Brilliant analysis and nailed it on every count.

Persistent victims. Addicted to the story of their pain. It’s deeply unattractive and unnerving tbh

Omg the worst experience I’ve had with a man. Emotionally avoidant/available. So destructive and mentally abusive. In my opinion it was worst than physical pain. That heartbreak never ever again!

username13885489943 :
me and friends always say that we need a term to describe an effective acquired asexuality as a response to men not being wholly attractive. So many of my friends have learned to not to be attracted to men because of this type of behaviour. Terms like hetero pessimist don't fully describe what I'm observing and experiencing myself

Only asking themselves why they do this is so bang on! No plan of action or changed behaviour because it doesn’t feel ‘normal’
