    It's so sad when you love them have been there for them and they kill the relationship o don't ever want to meet another Dismissive avodent.

      This is so true. I am 70% secure and 30% FA. I'm not even anxious. I like my own space and have family, friends, and activities. Still, it was too exhausting and hard. My next relationship will be with a more secure person. No more avoidants for me.

      This is literally what just happened to me. 5 year relationship, he was super avoidant for a lot of it but we finally worked towards moving in together. From there on it was just him sabotaging us to failure, I didn’t help in the end but there’s only so much one person can take. He killed us and this time I’m not sure if he’s coming back or if I even want him to (outside of maybe a sincere apology).

    He left when I needed him the most. He didn‘t call, didn‘t message me. He even didn‘t answer my calls or messages. After 6 weeks he came and he was mad because I didn‘t call him enough?! And I didn’t want to speek with him at the moment he wanted to speek with me. We are married for 6 years!
    I‘m done. If he wants this to work, he should fight for it.
    Loving an DA is the hardest thing to do.

  • @kingskand
    @kingskand 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

    My DA stopped contacting me cold turkey after I admitted deeper feelings and needs on my side. I said he was free to do/not do whatever he wanted. I stated my needs and he said "thank you for bringing clarity to this conversation" and haven't heard from him since (3 weeks) . I am not going to contact him, I didn't do anything wrong. I know it likely triggered him. But it does feel unfair to wait.
    At this point I'm treating it like an ending (no answer is an answer and a choice) but it didn't end "badly".
    Could the feelings be lost? Possibly. Only time - and his own self-awareness - will tell.
    It has been a huge learning curve but I do have empathy for his shortcomings. Just not enough to deny my own needs.

    • @kingskand
      @kingskand 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JeffThorslund just curious about that time table...(60 days)? Why is that length viable?
      It's been 3 months now, and at this point, I wish him well, but if he were to pop up now, I'd be more put off than if we never spoke again. So, since I wouldn't like it, I'm not doing that to another.
      However if he admitted his faulty role in things upon reach out, I might give the time of day... But since avoidants don't lead with vulnerability ever, I consider this a lost cause. And I'm okay with it. I'm certainly not destitute or in any shambles. Just living away!

    Alexis I would love to see a video about how the relationship goes when the DA has done some work and is healing / learning new ways of relating. Do they still struggle with avoidant tendencies, does communication get easier? Do they still feel overwhelmed by closeness? Do they still deactivate? I think you are probably the best person to answer these questions; although I get that you may prefer to keep this part of your life private.

      I believe that just being able to recognize the problem is half the battle won. Took me years to realize I was the one being emotionally unavailable hanging onto the hope of attaining an emotionally unavailable guy, and not giving anyone else a chance. My friends simply couldn't understand it and eventually I had to admit that I had been using him as an excuse to avoid relationships. It's still is scary to open up especially knowing by doing so can result in being shamed or dumped. Still trying to figure out what my needs in a relationship are, never knew I had them 😅...am still trying to get it right, it's a process... don't know how other people manage from the get go. Not aware of deactivating.. hopefully if I can really trust the person I won't need to shut down or anything.. when people come with judgement and confrontation I'd like to jump out the window and run away, they have no idea how badly that affects a DA, it's aweful. I hope my response helps, Let's see what Alexis says..

    There is something I don't really understand, I'm like 100% sure my ex is an avoidant. Heavily traumatised as well. After the guy that gave her the trauma reached out to her she started to self-sabotage our entire relationship and in the end left me for a guy who is exactly like the inital guy. Same nationality and probably as messed up as he is. She also said that none if it was my fault.
    I somehow still love her and I'm hoping that she comes back. It's been almost 3 months of no contact.

    2 days before the break up my avoidant ex gf said she don't knows the way towards the college so she requested me if we can go together but only if I don't go with my friends to college she didn't wanted to come with me if I had friends with me on the way to college because she gets awkward and also privacy reasons but i was too late to reply as I was busy then when I approached from here and told her ohk we will go together instead she said "leave it now I have told my friends now you are too late to reply ". After that i told her in an assertive way meet me tomorrow in college and she agreed but asked whether you want to meet in front of friends, without them or just staring? I replied in whatever way you are comfortable she said ohk then the next day when I met her she had friends there with her and she texted me I feel awkward meeting in front of friends but i was already there in front of her her friends were sitting on the bench and we then talked but she was so nervous and saying we have some classes together see you later my friends are calling! It little bit triggered her then the next day my friend and his other friend whom I didn't know went there in the crowd in front of my ex screaming my name in front of her Amaan Amaan and asked her Amaan wants to talk to you she nodded her head saying no and ran away I didn't told my friend my friend to go there he just went without my permission it was too awkward for her in the crowd. Then we had argument even though I agreed to my mistake we broke up it got ruined then after about three weeks I contacted her again this time she said doesn't want to get close again like that and she can't trust people back easily. She said it's hard for her to detach herself from me but it's something for her to do! We talked regularly second time but hot and cold but regularly having streaks and heart on Snapchat meaning regularly she saved my snaps but I brought the conflict again I told her to start being like that close again instead of trust issues trust me back again fully. She said I don't want to get too close and said our aims don't align this time so I should let you go this time and told me no one u derstands and listens to me and Iike you do but I have to let you go this time and out of self respect I told her then I leave you for God's sake if has written us for each other again she said I don't love you but used to ask for romantic letters for me, meetups, birthday gifts we talked daily for 2 years. Will she comeback? This time she removed me from Instagram, Snapchat but didn't blocked me and on telegram the profile is still there of my gift that I had gifted to her(Her name frame).

      Bro, first of all, I am really sorry. Very confusing text, and it shows me that you are reeeeally anxious. And she is really avoidant. Best thing to do is for you to detach. Build your confidence again. Give her all the space she needs. Do not message her in ANY WAY. NEVER! I MEAN IT! Leave her alone for now. You have to find ways to rebuild your confidence so you can have so much you gonna start captivating people and give them some of it. Only then you will have a chance of trying to get her off this shell. For now there’s nothing you can do. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Let her come your way. Only by you asking “Is she gonna come back” i can tell that you are extremely anxious. There’s no way no one can answer you that. But I can say for sure that’s she’s not gonna come back if you are that anxious. Leave it! Live a happy life and you will attract everyone.
