@growwithkaela: I hear this all the time, and I’ve experienced it as well. A simple “thank you” goes a long way.. and that’s exactly why dismissive avoidants withhold it.
o man. she never thanked me. she cheated. but im still the villain in the story

This is absolutely so accurate. I noticed the thank yous and compliments completely dried up a couple of years before the end. 🙄

I don’t get a thank you most of the time. I can’t believe a 45 year old man doesn’t think he needs to say thank you.

My time with the avoidant I found this so strange, in the phase where the Avoidant comes on strong appreciation seams genuine, especially for my efforts in planning dates, the response to a complement was “oh you’re so sweet” or “you spoil me” but rarely thank you. Once they become vulnerable; feel accountable, to the connection, appreciation disappears. You can almost see the hesitation if they say thank you, I appreciate you or the rare I’m sorry; they have crossed the line of making you feel close. The “you are so sweet” has evaporated. The avoidant I was with went as far as putting words in my mouth saying “I know you told me to never say sorry or apologize” which I never said at all.

Are you in my house? Are you just observing what's going on in my life with my dismissive avoidant ex-girlfriend? You have her down to a T.
