@anxiouslyalej: How avoidants create avoidants In the beginning you were the communicator, the one who reached first every single time, and if you are a high performer skilled in pattern recognition, you saw his capacity and thought, we are a team, so let me carry this. Eldest daughters, you already know. You anticipated his needs so he never had to develop the skill set, you got so hyper attuned to his tone and his moods that you suppressed your own needs entirely, and here is the irony of loving an avoidant. They swear they are not emotional, yet their emotions end up running the entire relationship. So to survive it, you become avoidant with yourself. You abandon your own needs in a thousand tiny ways just to keep the peace, and those micro self-abandonments pile up until one day you do not recognize the woman looking back at you. What you suppress does not disappear, it resurfaces as resentment. The way back is not complicated, but it is not easy. Stop owning his work, especially if you are better at it. Stop rewarding passive aggression by decoding it, because if he is irritated he can use his words. And diversify your emotional portfolio, because you were never meant to get all of your needs met by one moody man. Build your community, pour into your people, and remember, your job is not to have no needs. Your job is to never abandon them again.
