@pjhennigan1: Attention. Distance. Silence. Connection. Relief. Then distance again. Intermittent reinforcement gives us one way to understand why inconsistent relationships can become so difficult to disengage from. The next burst of attention can feel incredibly powerful not necessarily because intimacy increased, but because uncertainty and distress temporarily decreased. Don’t only look at how good the connection feels when it returns. Look at the pattern that keeps making you wait for it. #IntermittentReinforcement #Attachment #AmbiguousRelationships #Situationship #Relationships
Man you just explained my whole situation!! We’ve got to connect!

Your always waiting for them to leave and then always waiting for them to come back.

In these situations you just need to withdraw your energy, im talking from experience with a narcissist who would ghost me to punish me, if I dare ask him about him betraying me with other women constantly & would breadcrumb me like in video.. now he stalks my profiles from fake accounts, pretending to be other guys to see if i would date the men he pretends to be .. just a twisted individual.. well happy now iv got him out my life tbh 👌👌👌

but what if everything is great when we are together at the same functions, there seems to be a connection and for a day or so after said function he will call but then go completely silent. he only texts or calls if I do first??? I'm so confused...

Can you elaborate on focusing on how you feel when they come back and if you feel chosen for instance to satisfy your abandonment- what does that tell you?

If these men can learn techniques like that they can learn how to be good men. They are obviously not lonely enuf.
