They did all they could to hurt you, leave you alone when you want them the most and made you go through a series of emotional dilemmas . After taking soo long to recover from the memories and feelings of guilt for loving someone who doesn't even treat you with the minimum respect you deserve, after soo much struggle, you find yourself eventually and move on. Then all of a sudden, this exact person comes into your life.. and they expect you to accept them like nothing happened.. ? The hell no!!.. Ex is a dead person to you...and that's it!!

I was with an avoidant female for 9 years. She left. I moved out and on. Im going on dates and getting in better shape and i always made money. My advice is if they reach out just tell them youre rooting for them. After a month she said "i hope youre doing well" I sent back "hey butthead, im good. Im rooting for you to find a way to better yourself. Youre strong and i know you can do it." Just show them support from afar, but do NOT go back to them. I loved her and she has trauma and needs help that i cant provide. Believe me you want a healthy relationship.

That part about what you're grieving is the desire for a longterm relationship and maybe it's not even with your ex, really hit home! Thanks for that!

True story. I placed my other on a pedestal and lost my sense of purpose. I gave up all my hobbies and made her my life. This placed a lot of pressure on her. This also didn’t allow her to live her own life. What I’m saying - I smothered the shit out of her and it didn’t work. I found my hobbies again and realized that I no longer had my other on a pedestal. Nothing is more attractive than person that has their own hobbies/life. Find your purpose - find your happiness. Live your life - let her/him live his life - secure relationships rock!

When I emotionally detached after my ex broke us off (avoidant type we’d had incredible year but said couldn’t give me a relationship) I went on a date with a lovely guy, stable, keen (but not manic about it), no PDA (my ex had touched my rear on date 2 whilst playing pool which was nice but felt invasive) and this guy seems quite shy, stable job, free time at weekends, no baggage, dresses normally (ie not the same outfit) We’re 2 dates in. Before my ex, I would have thought this guy was a bit ordinary, and not accepted a second date, but now comparing him with my ex, my ex seems like a loser and I’m feeling more attracted to this ‘nice guy’. Maybe it takes being played to realise what went on.

Sadly, if I go the route of detaching myself entirely again -- THEN she'll want me. Then, when I want her again, she won't want me. So, in short, we never get what we want and we're all F'ed. Sad.

Just retook the get your ex back quizz again and changed some of the answers on purpose. Results came out the same. The test is useless and likely rigged so most people will score low on purpose to likely encourage one on one counseling. Plus I don't trust the 30 day no contact rule. Most may take more than 30 days, especially if they are on a rebound relationship.

The simple secret: you have to be free to let them go. Then they might come back. Paradox but true. If you still want them back at that point is another question... (Own experience twice.)

She actually warned me that she had avoident behaviours and pushed away in the last relationship. I obviously became very anxious at all this and that was that. She left saying she has never loved or been loved as much as with me and had never had a happier relationship. But when she thought about our love it'd make her feel ill. She said she can't be in a relationship. I never said she was DA, she was more FA, but showed general avoidant behaviours and less anxious at the end.

​@sshuteandrew What is a DA? I keep seeing that and I'm genuinely curious what that stands for.

Becoming a better version of you has nothing to do with plating your mind or trying to keep yourself occupied with something else. it is about realizing that who you are matters more than trying to continually impress someone with who you were yesterday. And more importantly, impressing yourself. Because when you aren't growing constantly feeling like you were only as good as your last high school basketball game, but someone supposed to continually be impressed by that achievement. Of course, you are more than that one achievement It's not the achievements it's the character seeing challenges through that is important

My fear is as an avoidant is that, once I go no contact to help me outgrow my ex, I’ll really be done and I don’t wanna hear from them. I am working on becoming a secure attachment type though.

They do usually. Avoidants have core wounds too. I don’t think most are intentionally hurting people. And it’s not that they never wanted you.

I’m on day 4 of no contact. After a cordial breakup, he dumped me saying we were not compatible. I strongly think maybe there was more like he’s not ready or just didn’t want it …even at the end he was straight forward /cold and wanted me out of his life asap. He’s deleted me off Snapchat and didn’t reply back after some messages which made me feel anxious and sad and upset for the being the anxious attachment style …. 😢 right now I’m in the boat of missing the conversation with him but also knowing it might have just been a bad match. Of course I believe truly there was love on both sides. Either way I’m giving him space because he needs it. I have been watching these videos in my free time they are helping

I LOLed “the inevitable decline” of the conversation 😂

I have 4 words: Sudden need for validation.

Absolutely better than other coaches. I like your style and approach.

Letting my Avoidant Ex breathe was the hardest thing for me. It I did it for a month. Then we met up to swap stuff and we had an interaction that we haven’t had in a very long time. It was just us two, chatting like normal. We laughed, hugged, high fives, she overshared everything. Asked her to coffee, now I’m waiting for her to contact me. She said “I’ll let you know”

Omg you’re talking about pedestaling which is WILDLY unhealthy for ANY relationship. I was following you just to understand how to battle back against my ex’s predictable attempts to get back together again. I don’t want to be with him and haven’t wanted that for years. He just persuades me. But pedestaling is deeply unhealthy regardless of attachment style. You need to look at this concept in the context of consent and healthy boundaries.

I was on the pedestal because of my service to the city and wouldnt you know how he tried to get me to quit the boards, criticized their decisions and spoke to me as if I solely called the shots.

I see what you did at the end there ;)

The ending at the high point strategy is really smart, but how would you go about ending the conversation effectively? Is there any examples you can think of

there's a reason why they're an ex. I don't look back and try to right the wrongs. If they didn't realize who was there for them before, then let them live with their decision. My father once told me "you can count on one hand the people who will be around for your life" If my ex didn't think I was one of those, so be it. I've told them this too. We meet many people in a lifetime. Can you be there in reciprocity for those who want to be there for you? Can you even recognize the difference? It's about stepping up with mutual trust and respect.... which are both earned gradually and maintained. The honeymoon phase serves its purpose and. makes for great memories if both don't just count on this only to keep them together. 😉

I've been severely struggling with detachment and subsequently despite efforts I know I end up having neediness and not giving her any sense that she has or could lose me or that I wouldn't take her back. My kids adore me, I've got my physical health in check, stable and good employment and a schedule that works great especially if we were to stay together and they want to continue to work and I've been getting my mental health in check. Been taking care of myself and my kids and better with priorities but I still haven't really seen a change or clear sign that she'd consider getting back together. I know things can never go back to how they were even when they were good/better and any relationship would be a new one but doesn't mean it couldn't be better than it was.

Hey Chris, is there any possible way that you can go over an Ex-Girlfriend being in a rebound with a Jealous boyfriend, who had practically made her delete social media. Long story short she has me blocked only by phone, because she didn't want there to be any issues between me and the boyfriend, but the social media was the only source of communication besides working together. We we're having a great Emotional connection with each other until that had happened, I just don't know what I should do next. Besides being jealous of any man having communication with her, she has only talked to me about the arguments that they've had, practically nothing positive to say on the relationship, but she still says at times that she wants it to work, but at other times doesn't know if she want's to stay in the relationship.
