I (28F) care deeply about my fiancé (28M) but feel like the romantic connection has faded after years of imbalance. How do you know when it’s truly over? — From a burner account. I’m looking for some perspective because I feel like I’m at the end of a long internal process and I don’t know if I’m being unfair or if this is just the reality of where my re…

Knowing that there's a physical reason for the confusion and lack of awareness makes it easier to accept. One feels like an outsider; the people around you seem to know how to be with each other. An…

Im struggling so hard with moving on, even though it wasnt my fault that we broke up. It feels awful
I guess it's not 100 percent my fault I'm so shit at life
If you can't count on someone, then a secure person accepts it and moves on. If you're both at fault and want to reconcile, you reach out and have a talk and see if you're both willing to work on thin…
I broke up but she didn't want to get back. It's my fault but she wasn't a Saint either. Immaturity on both ends. I have paid for my mistakes in heartache and tears. I hope you get the person who ch…
Hi! So one thing I can tell you from lots of therapy and recently spending time around her is I realized I had been only remembering her good qualities and putting her on a pedestal in my mind. When w…
Thank you for sharing. I get this too, and until I read your comment I didn't understand why I was so upset over the "secretive" accusations...they don't even ask about the small things, so of course …
Just believing is one thing, subconscious faith towards your desire (not LOB particularly) is another thing. You lived your entire life based of your default beliefs without even knowing the Law. I sa…
No, mental thoughts do not become physical reality. That would be a world of chaos. *Repetitive* mental thoughts become beliefs, and beliefs do. And this can be layered. You can wake up and have a t…
I don't understand this. How can you decide to get better if you don't admit your faults in the first place?
Fair question - the way I see it, victim blaming = "this is actually your fault" but victim mentality = "the way you are approaching this/life is hurting you/holding you back" ~~~as long as the commen…
Yes, that's precisely my message! And that's why I started treating myself for my issues so aggressively since my late teens (now mid/late 20s). I didn't want to keep passing on the cycle, and this go…
It's not relevant what anyone is telling avoidants if you're not an avoidant... to think it is is slipping back into this competitive mentality where you're dissecting whose fault it is. It doesn't ma…
I respect how politely you've addressed this. But please see the other perspective too: 1. Most people are told by their avoidantly attached partner that they're clingy when they're just trying to n…
Yes this is my default mode. I need calm after engagement. Relaxation after stimulation. To unwind / recharge. The best thing an AP person can do is realise that other attachment styles don't need to…
It's nor your fault whatever you've been through, but reprogramming yourself is your responsibility! You are a shining light and I can't imagine how hard it is, but we'll done for starting the proces…
I think what others are saying unless someone says I hate you, then it's based on your feelings. Feelings are 100% valid but not facts. I'm anxiously attached and felt many people have disliked me ov…
You are correct. Your perception of love is warped. And thus it can be really hard finding it without accidentally finding yourself in shit relationships. As many have commented, avoidants typically …
People say they don’t hate, but from my understanding some of them fault-find in order to deactivate? Sure it’s not as strong as ‘hate’ by any means, but it seems pretty… negative?
Yeah. He realized it was too much for him and just dipped. I’m so sorry. This isn’t your fault at all, but I wouldn’t commit myself to someone I only hung out with for a week in person. I literally bl…
Oh believe me, I spend a lot of time talking to them. They only answer rarely. My latest thing is to take each part and work to understand wehre it's coming from, what it's movtivations are, how it …
Hmm. My experience so far is that I will use different attachment styles depending on circumstance. Most people I think have a default, e.g. A person who comes from a secure background will be willi…
No, my statement has nothing to do with validation. I find when someone says 'that's invalidating', they haven't sat down and thought about what they're saying. And why would I need to constantly vali…
Ran into a good defn: Your attachment style is the default mode of operation when a relationship is under stress.

Bare metal doesn't mean running the whole cluster on a single server, that wouldn't be fault tolerant. Generally you'll see it used to distinguish from running in the cloud (i.e. on premises). A more …

Secure here. I still do learn and learn to accept that a lot of people cant express themself and selfreflect. Long distance friend of mine and, probably DA, got into arguments with me via whatsapp. …
This is beautiful to read. You describe it so well, what it is to heal this stuff. It doesn’t actually go away, we just learn how to navigate the default urges better. Glad for you that you’ve done …
Sorry if this is not the applause you may have expected; but to me a translation of your title is "Turns out DAs are DAs, and we need to bend over backwards to "make it work" with them, and that's ext…
100% agree. Having recently come out of a situationship with an avoidant, my main personal takeaways are: 1) ask them about past partners/relationships. Usually they have a string of them, and they al…
Avoidants can also be extremely resentful though? Which is common for people who don’t communicate well. Plus, If they’re on a fault-finding trip or a phase where they have one foot out the door, it’s…
My ex showed up as secure and available. He did all the right things up until literally hours before the abrupt ending. Then he unleashed the barrage of issues and fault finding on me. I was completel…
I’m not secure, but I’m working on it, and it was not entirely their fault.
I was in a similar position, ruminating for more than a year excessively about a relatively short relationship, feeling guilty about not being understanding and patient enough. And that’s the point I …
I think it’s particularly harmful to people who identify as AP because there is this tendency to find fault within. The people pleasing is so strong that I feel it does more harm than good.
I say this with kindness because reading through your posts, you remind me of me from 5-6 years ago. I think your feeling of shame is clouding your judgement a bit here. It sounds like you were just i…
Congratulations on holding firm and not over-extending yourself! I know how hard it can be to not do that. In fact I've never really been able to prevent myself doing that. You have won a major victo…
It isn’t. Avoidance, more so than AA, is deeply unconscious. Consciously, we want to show up for our partners and to be vulnerable, which makes it difficult to recognize the fact that we are distancin…
I definitely agree with this, however, as an AA it is useful to know about how FAs and DAs react and how to interact with them. This is for two reasons: first, no matter what I know in theory, as an A…
I am highly skeptical of people online armchair diagnosing anyone as a narcissist. 9/10 it just means "person that hurt me". It seems to be a way to write someone off and never have to understand thei…
This! My ex was seemingly amazingly secure, caring and nice for half a year. Yeah there were minor red flags bit really minor, still would classify that as "almost secure". But after the first confli…
This definitely feels familiar from times in my past as well. The problem is, when we are so inward looking, and introspective about things, while that carries some really strong benefits, it can also…
