@growwithkaela: The reverse discard is the avoidant’s cleanest exit. They don’t end it. They make it so painful that you do, then they get to keep the story that they weren’t the one who left. If you walked away and you’ve been carrying the guilt ever since, please know that you didn’t give up. You finally chose your peace, and your future self thanks you. This week I’ll be sharing how I said goodbye to my ex DA, how you can heal your nervous system after this type of breakup, and how to never end up here again. 🫶
He did both. I'm convinced he was trying to reverse discard for months coupled with pulling me back in when I did push away. he was sadistic, the human version of playing with his prey for funsies until he finally discarded

He pushed me away, and then blamed me for going.

I just left a 20 year marriage on the 1st. It’s awful but I know it was right

Definitely pushed! But he wanted it. It was a date with another woman when 5 days before that date I was in bed with him! I wont tolerate that disrespect it was in my face! Made me sick 🤢

Yup! He love-bombed me in the beginning, then push/pull, distancing. It was disorienting. When I told him my mother died, I got a "sorry, babe" text, then radio silence for days. I immediately broke it off. I actually pity him. He missed out on something wonderful 💅🏼

I see this a lot . It’s a spineless move that in their distorted mindset they can then “ be the perfect person who did EVERYTHING “ the challenge is that it becomes a pattern and they can’t hide as everyone sees it . Any new partner eventually puts it together and misery surround them . The VICTIM MENTALITY is their favourite position and eventually that mask fades and people see who they really are and that’s generally a person incapable of healthy love .

Yep. 6 months of being told wanted then ignored then wanted. And it would have went on forever if I let it.

I left because I finally had enough and knew the pattern was going to continue if I didnt leave. a little over 6 months later , I am finally feeling better and glad I made that decision 🙏🏽 I am glad I also ended things ina respective way unlike him who turned into someone I didnt recognize when I said my boundary and good bye.

The jokes on my ex. I was abused as a child so his poor treatment just made me try harder. It ended up blowing up in his face when he was caught cheating

And then they say “you broke up with me!” Never realizing the push was the reason. 😏

I was being pushed away and gaslit, only to find out he was living a double life. Then I got blamed for the cheating. 16 years!! Don’t get mad, get yourself back.

The Madame :
My BD tried this with me, but I did not leave and in fact kept pushing him to act right. He ended up leaving and I can tell he was SO mad I didn’t leave first.

He did this to me the first time before I knew he was FA. I did give another chance and he did it again. But I’m proud that I recognized his pattern earlier and got clarity that he wasn’t going to change. Almost six months no contact and working on getting myself back.

I thought all of those things. ...she wanted to "take a break" and "put everything on pause" ...I said I don't do breaks ...and walked away...and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done...
