      @@martinhebblewhite4659hahahahah saaaame, I also promised with my ex gf that we would not do that in any case (besides serious stuff) and speak until the other has no open questions. We promised it. She did it immediately to discard after minor out of nowhere confrontation about: NOTHING … went into 4 weeks no contact straight and then she came by and confirmed she just plays this pissed mood, we kissed and she said well practice now so it works better mext time. 2 weeks later with minimal contact she seemed to have forgotten she said that and other things cause she never responded on the question about why she even said it when she would now suddenly without anything happened tell me she doesn’t want to share her life with me as she was not 100% happy…so sad those avoidants live in dream world and don’t realize there is no fantasy partner with a relationship her / them being happy 100% of all times..

    It doesn't matter whether she "misses" me or not.
    Everyone is different. But YOU have to do your own "work".
    And realizing that this person is incapable of real love is step one!
    Who wants that kind of toxicity in their life?
    You hold your head high, dedicate to improving yourself ie; work out, improve your wardrobe and learn how to dress better, work on your bucket list (I went skydiving!!), complete half finished projects, volunteer for a cause, be a better person.
    It been a little over 2 1/2 months for me, and during that crucial first 2 weeks or so, I COUNTED on her damaged dysfunctional self NOT to contact me. Thank goodness she was so predictable.
    Because I might have relented and tried again.
    But I actually used one of her major flaws to my benefit.
    Now I am free.
    She actually texted me about 2 weeks ago and asked if she could call me.
    Silence is what she received. Exactly what she gave me.
    Silence is all she deserves.
    And soon she'll be just a life lesson and a bad memory.

      I think just like addicts they can change but ONLY if THEY want to. So anyone can change but only IF and WHEN they decide to do so. We certainly don't have to wait for damaged people to change. I remember she told me once: "it's not my problem that you are damaged from your childhood. I don't have to wait til you change". Now I feel the same about her. I let her go. I won't be waiting for her to change because she goes out of her way to be as avoidant as possible, and I'm afraid it gives her some pleasure. For that reason I feel like she is sort of a maniac. Will a maniac change? I doubt it if they get pleasure out of torturing someone they will never stop unless they want to change

To be betrayed like this by him is hurtful. I can’t even imagine to begin to meet other people. I loved this person more than I could ever imagine.

      My ex girl of 12 years who I have a daughter with broke up with me by a text message after 12 years together. The last few years were by far the worst times of my life. Every time I asked to talk about what was going on, she would avoid me, tell me she just felt depressed or had lots going on in their head but they were "ok." I gave this woman everything, never cheated or talked to other girls, cooked for her, made her coffee so it was ready as soon as she came downstairs in the morning, told her she was beautiful every single day, and was emotionally available. We had some great times, lots of inside jokes, and just had fun together but she slowly pushed me away. It's only been 3 weeks & I finally had a great night of sleep without waking up in an anxiety attack. lol They mess with your head for sure.

Healthy women plan the break up for months, even years before. DAs make the decision at some odd moment. They never plan it for a long time. And then, during NC they start to feel sorry and want back. Male DAs even forgive women if she found another man meanwhile, surprisingly easily. Healthy men never do that.

    My ex texted me some months after he discarded me with a breakup, he wanted to know how I felt and explained that he liked what we had. We met. Showed me sweetness.
    He explained that he loved me, but couldn’t be with me because we want different things in life. I couldn’t stand the turmoil I felt.
    So what was the point of him text me and meet me? I just sat a boundary, “Ok, then it is what it is”
    Haven’t heard from him in 6 months. He is still in my head.

      It was for validation for him which is agsin selfish as he did not consider the impact on you. That’s what they do. Hang around for validation but not a relationship. That’s too much for them. You have to walk away. And know you were a great partner and they are avoidant. Not who they could be but who they are. Damaged and not working on it

    As it happened I dumped her before she got a chance to discard me, I’m just way smarter than these people, I’ve been there before and saw it all unfolding. I would bet money that even though I dumped her that she will not come back. She will miss me and what we had like all hell but her pride and stubbornness will prevent her coming back. It may even make her physically ill and she won’t come back, I’ve seen this before with others. I may be pleasantly surprised and I am very strong with boundaries and no contact, but I’m pretty sure I won’t take her back regardless, not now after 5 weeks. There was a small window of opportunity for her, I left that door open, however, only a genuine taking of personal responsibility and willingness to ‘do the work’ would see me welcoming her back and something about hell freezing over comes to mind 🥶 I’m here to learn what I could have done differently and how to avoid the avoidant in future.

      Because the better you treat an avoidant, the more their fears get triggered and the more they will avoid feeling those feelings of intimacy. Sad to say your commitment 100% triggered it, I've been right where you are where I am treated my avoidant ex so good. Once we got back from our first getaway together, she threw me away out of nowhere because those fears were triggered. It shouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it is and it's one of the hardest things to go through.

    They don’t. And I don’t just mean my avoidant ex, I mean everyone’s. If they are truly avoidant and not just secure with some avoidant tendencies, they don’t miss you because you were never a truly dimensional human being to them with strengths and flaws and human contradictions. You were at best an idea to them. And once that idea failed to live up to the fantasy you were discarded. Don’t ever reach out to a true avoidant.

    I don't know if she's an avoidant. I was a bad boyfriend. I clung to her and tried to message her too much because i was so in love with her. I wanted her to spend more time with me instead of giving her space to hang out with her friends. But the way she left sounds like an avoidant. She suddenly told me she doesn't know if she loves me anymore. I asked her to work with me so we could try to fix it and she agreed but then without actually trying just started avoiding me altogether for weeks while saying everything was fine until i had to demand she break up with me if she doesn't love me anymore. She moved out the next day. Then blocked me so i couldn't even ask what happened. Our relationship was short and very fast. I haven't heard from her in over a month now. I still miss her so much. I don't care if shes an avoidant. I just want to hear from her again.

Oh maybe show my emotions? In 3 yrs I was nothing but good to him. One of his last texts to me before he blocked me was "we had amazing times together & I knew you always had my back but something was missing in our relationship that we never got back". What was missing? He never communicated anything to me. So here I am wondering what I did so wrong to be blocked???
      Kind of heartless. We had so much fun together & had so much in common & actually had a great 3yrs together. But I don't understand why not try to fix or work on whatever was missing from the relationship?? I found out he is now dating someone 14yrs younger than him. Idk.

I didnt understand this either, it was a new information for me. I only lately got that information from fb group about avoidant attachment and now it makes a lot of sense to me why they do this. It cant be any coincidence that for example, this guy never even mentioned his fav woman in the group chat. And suddenly, after I cut him off, not only he praised her, and said she is his "fave lady" but he even acknowledged her emotions! Said "she was BIG sad". While he didnt do that with me, even when I before pointed at how he is not considering my feelings. When I expressed hurt- nothing, When I expressed being discouraged - nothing. When I was angry / upset - he never responded or acknowledged any of my feelings.
