@growwithkaela: Dismissive avoidants aren’t taking in every moment of the relationship the way that you are. They don’t have the capacity to feel as deeply as you do, so this is how they can easily deactivate when things get too real.
My husband is a DA, he’s everything you say in every video. We’ve been going towards divorce. He asked for one. But he just changed his mind and said he wants to stay together and to be vulnerable and to be committed. Can he change if he gets help?

Why do they always call you emotionally unstable when you go off on them or tell them how you feel?

Do they get better with work or is it all just a waste of time?

It really was a cycle, and it's crazy that I felt if we just had one more conversation, one more bonding moment, or one more future hope good enough everything would eventually level out. It never did

“That dopamine hit” is narcissistic evil. Let’s stop calling dismissive avoidants anything other than people with a serious mental illness. It is far FAR beyond an “attachment style.”

I'm so sick of putting people in boxes. no human has edges this clean.
some people might act avoidant in one season and anxious the next. there is no way to predict human behavior.

Finally started contacting divorce attys. 26 yrs married. I’ve never met anyone so cruel. Not physically. Emotionally. Silent treatment for weeks. I can’t take it anymore. No more begging. I’m done.

Yessss!! I would send clips of our travels & activities & special moments and invariably I’d get a “nice” as the response. Fully emotionally detached from all of it.

bestdamnavocados :
this makes so much sense. my ex had said heartfelt things to me like "I would give you my life" and then would say something like "I never said that. I believe that YOU believe I said it but I didn't" or say that wasn't how he really felt. or would just downplay his own words and act like it wasn't serious only to turn around and change his mind again and tell me he actually cared deeply for me, etc. it was the worst emotional whiplash ever

Yup, so true. I could/would bring up stuff, good or bad, that I clearly remembered… she had no clue
