@drjondabach: If this resonates with you, I want you to know something: You're not crazy. You're not asking for too much. Wanting emotional closeness, affection, and genuine partnership isn't unreasonable. Whether your marriage can heal or you ultimately choose a different path, you deserve to understand what's happening and make those decisions from a place of clarity rather than confusion. If you'd like more support, send me a **DM with the word "community"** and I'll send you the details. Or you can check the **link in my bio** to learn more. #AvoidantAttachment #DismissiveAvoidant #HealthyRelationships
My dismissive avoidant husband gets angry when I celebrate his birthday, when I offer to pack for him, or do anything for him.

oh yes. he trained me well. "I don't need anything" meaning don't expect anything from me.

People who neglect their own feelings will also neglect yours.

he has no needs until I express mine, then suddenly he has a million needs that I never meet.

always said he didnt care about his birthday, its wasteful to buy gifts etc. I bought tickets to a lantern festival that we didnt end up going to because he didnt want to go. he also opened his gift earlier because he saw it wrapped and didnt want to wait.
.
next day our building send a happy birthday card and he hung it on the fridge and acted like I was the bad guy for WEEKS. he was just baffled I did "nothing". when I point out i had, he says how I still didnt even get him a cake. mind you he said not to because he was trying to lose weight 🙄

How do you bring this up? Because I’ve tried and I guarantee he won’t listen to anything I’ve seen on Tik Tok. I’ve tried a thousand ways and he doesn’t want to hear it.

I ask every time when i'm making something, if he wants some too, always no. He doesn't eat my food.

This. 💯 I could never place why it bothered me so much that he says this. You said it. It takes away a very important part of a marriage in sharing emotions. He doesn’t need me for anything because he doesn’t want me to need him for anything. It’s a very lonely life.

The thing is, it’s impossible to even bring this up bc then it’s “oh you just think I’m a horrible person!” In my experience, every single attempt to discuss a way to improve the relationship (in his mind) is just me saying he sucks at life. So I say nothing (it’s been 40 years so I live my own life now)

When you acknowledge that you need someone, you also acknowledge their value. If they don’t acknowledge the need, they don’t have to appreciate you.

He says he doesn’t need anything yet is the most high maintenance and needs the most

Kate Rose :
Yes this makes sense. Then in addition to being "low maintenance," my avoidant is an only child so he basically doesn’t need anyone. He is fine doing everything by himself. Then what exactly is the point of being in a relationship?
