@drsarahhensley: Sound familiar? There’s a name for this type of partner and it’s called dismissive avoidant. There’s a lot more I could list, like “I’m not sure what you want me to say” or “I don’t know what you want from me right now.” And they aren’t sure, and they really don’t know…because they are suppressing. #Love #relationships #emotionallyunavailaible #dismissiveavoidants #dating

“I don’t know” a zillion times. It is mind numbing.

Do you want to be with me....I can't answer that (But, I don't want to be married to the man I'm married to). That don't make any damn sence.

The walk away is wild especially when they expect you to repair. Also the “I don’t know” when you ask them if they still want the relationship and to work on it is so confusing.

Also sounds like responses someone who’s been in a relationship with a narcissist will start using because the truth is dangerous.

For #1, is it really being emotionally unavailable if someone is picking a stupid thing to argue about? Some people just don't want to waste time.

Could you please go more in depth on the “I don’t know” responses? Went through a break up recently and he said he didn’t think a break up would fix anything (meaning his unhappiness) and he thought he’d really regret it but when I asked if he wanted to be with me he said I don’t know. It’s confusing.

Honestly it's gotten to the point where I'm the one walking away from. a conversation I started. Tired of ending up the problem and getting the conversation turned on me every time. If he wanted to he would.

Why don’t you give examples to people to actually create connection vs creating polarization in relationships!

I don’t know about that last question. If someone asks what do you think about me? That would make anyone feel uncomfortable and it’s not a normal thing to ask someone.

Can a person be a dismissive avoidant with a certain person or is it a trait you just have no matter what

My partner agreed to do some type of therapist work as a couple. I believe he is DA. Its gotten to the point we dont understand each other because its like we are lost in translation with our attachment styles (me FA him FA/DA?) sarah you always say DA do bad in therapy, i dont want him to be overwhelmed, is there a way for an Australian to do your coaching.

Where do we draw the line between learning to decode their “I don’t know” responses and learning to prioritize our own needs when they consistently avoid showing up?

I don't know was the only answer I ever got. Oh and when I asked why you all of a sudden don't love me anymore I got "you'll find out someday" 😏

After 17 years together, when it was time to 100% commit, marriage and build a house all of a sudden he didn’t know if he wanted to be together. For 1.5 years now he’s shut me out and decided he wants to end it. 🤯🙄
