@growwithkaela: Marriage does not change an avoidant. It just locks in their patterns, and you get lonelier as the years pass. When your avoidant marries someone else, don’t fool yourself into thinking they are better than you. They’re just more likely to abandon their needs longer.
I asked my husband why he even married me and he said “because you were obsessed with me”

It's like he checked a box because that's what 30 year olds are supposed to do, then stopped trying

My ex told me he married to his ex wife for this exact reason. He also admitted that he ended up with a lot of built up resentment, withdrew from her, and she eventually cheated on him. It was interesting because he only said these things when he was in the right vulnerable state. Other times if I mentioned it, he denied ever saying it and would tell me he wanted to marry her and he was the one who initiated everything and she was the problem.

I hate this app :
first and foremost. "DO NOT" marry a Dissmissive Avoidant. If you think they might be, have them evaluated. Dont role the dice

I needed to hear this! I could tell he felt he was behind in life and I was a person that wanted him but didn’t need him,and I believe that need is what he was looking for he needed to be seen a certain way, he wanted to feel stable and responsible.

The story of my life. 25 years of being lonely and unable to communicate. Nothing in my cup because she had absolutely zero empathy for me. I honestly think that she doesn't feel bad about anything, ever.

”Whoever they are with when the timing lines up” It seems to me 50% of all marriages are based on this

A guy’s friend group will tell you how likely he is to marry you. Not how much he loves you, not how compatible you are, he’s gonna copy his friends. If most of his friends are not married- he will absolutely not be proposing to you. If he’s the last one in his group to get married, he’ll be looking for a wife QUICKLY

This is basically just marriage with most men! This is how it’s going to be for the majority of women, so entering into it at all is not a good decision for women. And we are finally realising that and staying single.

Well my avoidant married me in a 2nd marriage. He couldn’t show up emotionally for me and he finally ran out on me after 10 years. He not stable or functional without me!

💯. The day he proposed was the day he started to disappear in ernest. I called the wedding off and ended the relationship. I was a tick box, someone to meet his needs, give him attention and make him look normal. Thank god I got out before it was legal.

Yeah they can very performative. I don’t mean that in all aspects it’s just something I’ve noticed more of like giving him undeserved credit and someone pointing out. Yeah he did that bc he is supposed to call and check in, it was a performance of he did the check box correct thing 😳 it was a very accurate portrayal of how he operates socially

Your videos always come at such a right time. Recently found out he's engaged to the person he dated immediately after me, even though when we were breaking up he told me he could "never be happy" or "what I deserve" or see himself with anyone in a relationship. Oof.

my avoidant ex married the next person he dated and they got married within like 11 to 14 months of knowing each other. I have no idea why either of them would think that decision was healthy. i'm pretty sure he just wanted to be married again since he's in his 40s and probably didn't want to seem "lacking" compared to his siblings who have their own families.

I think for my ex son-in-law the marriage was the trigger. I think he felt trapped and couldn’t handle it. 12 MONTHS later he blindsided my daughter and asked for a divorce (after dating and living together for 6 yrs prior to marriage).

this happened to me. 12 years and i was lonely for most of it till one day I made a change. I challenged him and he was a coward and didn’t want to be the bad guy! I had no problem being the bad guy!!! So I have been single for 2 years and I have been the happiest I have been in a long time! I took my life back! Best thing i ever did!!!

Apple User284598757 :
Yeah - my parents died early on in my relationship with a DA, and his complete inability to give a fuck about me…and his selfishness honestly that I wasn’t being ‘independent enough’ when I grieving their sudden deaths and wanting his support and presence - ultimately is what led us to breaking up. I held him accountable long enough for him to call me abusive and run. In a weird way, I am grateful they died because I was saved from that relationship. When we broke up we talked about how if my parents hadn’t died we probably would have been fine. I shudder to think of the YEARS I would have shrunk myself and who I would have become. Only lost two years of my life to him thank god
