@burned_notbroken: you don’t need to be perfect. you really don’t. it’s okay to not say the perfect thing or pursue a little too hard or get a little defensive again. but there does need to be a level of accountability, owning your emotional experience, groundedness, security. that’s the only way they are going to feel the elements of emotional safety needed to soften at all. #burnedoutpursuer #relationshipburnout #emotionalsafety #marriagerepair #breakuptiktok
What if in the meantime they are dating someone else

I’ve been begging for space, and no touch for the past 4 months… I finally snapped from disrespecting and disregarding my requests and boundaries. ALSO, I hate the “we just have to try”…. Or “we have to choose to do this everyday” LIKE SIR…. IVE BEEN FIGHTING ALONE FOR YEARS AND CHOOSING YOU FOR YEARS WHEN YOU HAVENT SHOWED UP AT ALL…. So now I’m done

And where does the responsibility for avoidance lie? What should they concern themselves with regarding their own behavior?

How do you start communication if you have no reason to communicate after no contact?

I just found you after 2 years of him being burnt out. But is it all the same if he became burned out because I was sick (physically and mentally) and that’s why he had to carry everything? I am trying to keep my family together! I never “neglected” him on purpose. I was going through something I have since recovered from.

What if nothing was communicated about space and he just never came home and started assassinating your character?

I did just that. I told her I'd give her space...42 days No contact. She told a mutual friend she was pissed I didn't get in touch. So I got in touch and by then it was too late for her. She said she was happy with her decision and she felt calmer and better now.

I’ve had space now for two weeks. He’s stopped trying to make small talk as well. The small talk was so draining for me! So I’m glad he’s stopped doing that. The only thing I really hope for is that he actually does the hard work for himself to find his truth and happiness. He always used to say he was doing the work, “I’ve been doing the work” while insisting that cooking tri-tip was his love language, he wouldn’t even take that dumb quiz and I’m a vegetarian.

My partner went straight to leaving the relationship vs wanting space. I did send them away from our home to be with family and I think the space is good. I’m ready to wait and give them time but it seems like she’s pretty confidently gone. She definitely seems depleted. I feel awful for not seeing how unwanted she felt to get here.

We have 2 kids together and I always do my part. We have been around each other a lot more and have made physical contact multiple times. She goes hot and cold sometimes but I stay calm and speak warmly with her. Give her space and don’t talk about any relationship with her unless she brings it up.

Does my partner count as burned out pursuer? Couple months ago found some messages with another girl, then asked me to move out and a break that lasted months. I kept asking for reassurance and questions and tried to be patient now my partner doesn’t want to talk me and say they’re depressed and cant. Even get very angry for texting or checking out on them.

I’ve been giving her space so we’ve been in no contact. It’s been over a month now should I initiate no contact or should I just wait until she reaches out?

We’ve been no contact for about a month, broke up in June and I was overbearing at first before she blocked me. Now I’ll be seeing her at school how long do I wait before approaching to talk?

it's a two way street. there's stuff the wife did or didn't do that pushed the husband away too. you both gotta communicate and fight for your marriage. not give up and use this bull shit burnt out excuse. husbands get burned out too.
