@nicknamed.bree: 🙃 New fearful avoidant series! Not sure how to handle your partner’s fearful avoidant protest behaviors & set boundaries? Here is how I’d respond in this situation (if the relationship was relatively healthy otherwise). Disclaimer: so much depends on context, relationship status, the severity of the protest behaviors, their desire to “do the work” etc. #avoidant
“happy to talk more about it later, love you” you’re saying my favourite deescalating words

FA never acted like this. The only time she acted even somewhat in this situation was when she basically told me I didn’t have any hobbies around her, so the same night I spent the night around my friends and she totally flipped a switch. Give em what they ask for and suddenly it’s an issue.

Wait. I’m locked in for this series; exactly what I need. Is that response an exemplar of what I should say in response to my FA?
