1. Consistent initiative of communication & Consistent initiative to see somebody 2. Prioritizing you 3. Willing to work through differences. If you express a need in a healthy way, they will want to work with you through that. 4. Willing to meet your family & friends, introducing you to their family & friends 5. If they are willing to spend extended periods of time with you, like going on a trip or spending an entire weekend together. Thank you, Thais! I have been with my DA for 4,5 years now. In the first 6 months of dating, he checked all of these boxes. It was also my DA who took initiative about living together. It went south for a bit once we moved in, but I feel we are managing it better now as I have healed to SA, and he is showing up more FA now actually.

My ex did all these things but I learned that I need a lot more transparency to feel connected in a rela. I now know he hid things out of shame. It makes me feel so sad for him to feel such shame about his existence. Luckily I also recognize that it's not my responsibility to heal him. There will be someone else out there who is able to open up to me with the same depth I provide & value what I bring to the table.

Am sure The guy I was seeing was def a DA. He would only see me once a week , in 4 months hadn’t even slept with me . Would text me every morning & maybe once more in the evening. Would never actually phone me . Spent every Saturday night with his friends . Also was a work aholic. He was always laughing & joking to the point I felt like he was so immature. The min I brought emotions or try to talk about intimacy he changed subject. In 4 months we started off I actually felt lonely. I told him how I felt & I felt like I was 5th in his life . Instead of reflecting on how he had treated me he just said it’s obvious we think & feel different and this won’t work and walked away. But he had said the same words before & came bk after a month . He blamed an ex for always wanting to be with him. I think she was treated the same personally & it was really all about him . Honestly good luck to him he will never find a women being like this & I was so patient .

Thank you as always for sharing your wisdom, Thais. I know that you don't like it when dismissives get loads of flak, but from my experience, the issue is that, as the relationship with them "progresses"... well, it doesn't really move forward, as you would expect from a healthy relationship in which both parts allows themselves to show vulnerability, but they feel less and less compelled to invest in you, and more and more in their career, hobbies, "alone time", etc, since one of their core beliefs is that you'll end up leaving anyway, and so, almost without realizing it on a conscious level, you become conditioned to receive crumbs or nothing at all, even when you are in deep crisis! But ah, if you dare to call this out and set boundaries, even in a respectful, non-accusatory way, they will very probably stonewall you, and pull away further as they will interpret this as manipulative. Such deep distrust and paranoia from being controlled. They don't realize it's them who are being manipulative when they demand love and attention without reciprocating at all. I know it's a spectrum, and that those who are anxious-preoccupied also have selfish motives when they overgive, but sometimes the line between dismissives and neglectful narcissists is a little bit too narrow.

That was well articulated and you made very valid points. My personal experience with my DA 2 1/2 years in (I’m secure but his DA attachment style when he’s deactivating pulls me toward anxious, but not to the extreme as described as AP). It has been one of the most difficult and challenging relationships I’ve ever been in. Had I know his attachment style up front I wouldn’t continued dating early on. It was only after we moved in together after 9 months, at his encouraging and purchase of an engagement ring which he’s never given me, that all hell broke lose. For a year I had no idea what what going on with his inconsistent behaviors. Hot/cold, say one thing/do another, spent more and more time alone at country cabin than at home, etc. I realized that he never talked about feelings or showed vulnerability. I’m not an overly touchy-feely person but I do like moments of tenderness and affection out side of just sex. I asked him to go to counseling together and he begrudgingly did. On the third visit the counselor gave us some videos and gently tried to get him to realize that he’s a DA. He heard nothing of the “psycho-babble” and so we broke up right there in the counselors office. Broke up for 3 months and I was looking for another place to live but struggling to find something I could afford. Before I could move out we started, in unspoken terms of course, reconciling. We are now maybe 6-8 weeks in again. But now I’m walking on egg shells. I dove into attachment styles, CPTSD, deactivating, activating, etc., spending probably 50+ hours learning every thing I could. It really hit home what you said about their interpretation of being manipulated when you express needs in a healthy way but not realizing how they are being manipulative when they want it from you sporadically without reciprocation. Bit of a rant, but all this to say… unless people with unhealthy attachment styles acknowledge and desire to self reflect and want to get healthy, that the relationship is sure to end and be painful.

How ever he would text every week and prioritize me once a week, and was only dating me and being a gentlemen. I did feel he liked me. I dated another DA i was really in love with and he would be love bombing and ghosting me in cycles and ask me out a lot but always stood me up. I guess that’s the DA NOT that into you, lol

Thank you Thais. Your videos are so informative thank you ! I just worked out finally my "partner" is more likely to be a DA! I didn't know much about attachment theory until recently when I started dating him last year, when various behaviours came up! Was very attentive in the beginning, wanting to work through differences and met my family did all the right moves, then once we started actually seeing each other once he told me he wanted to be committed, he started pulling away or withdrawing even when he was with me, at the same time as wanting to be with me all the time! It was very confusing! He was coming round my house eating / sleeping with me every day but then blocked me on FB when I complained he still had a photo of his ex he advertised on his profile from 30 years ago! When I asked why, he said it was about "the music" since they had been in a band together ... but that was 30 years ago! He also kept on idealising different musicians / actors and copying their clothing when he was performing in his own band! We had a break-up in the end for 4 months because I found his hot / cold style difficult to deal with. Now watching your videos has really helped me to understand his behaviour, to understand something about his background and why he is loving and connecting one minute, then withdraws after connection sometimes! We saw each other last weekend and he says he wants to continue with me sharing an allotment we got together for the next year, so that shows he wants to commit for another year and give it another go. Just he's asked me if I can be more in control of my own emotions, evidently meaning that when he shows FA or DA signs, I need to be able to be more objective understanding what he's going through so that I don't react feeling rejected whenever he disassociates or needs space as an Ap! At the same time I also need to get him to admit that idolising his ex or talking about actors too much is not going to help if he wants a proper relationship with me this time! Thank you for your wise words! :-)

I stayed cool and brief via text and 2 weeks later I got another text and then the flood gates opened. Do as much learning about yourself and them now while you can. I did and it helped the 2.0 part of our relationship. DAs are tough to be with but if you find one that's worth the extra effort you will gain the tools to help them AND more importantly, yourself. Stay on track. Do not cave and focus on yourself! Good luck!!

As a someone with consistent DA patterns who is (on a good day) mindful about it I could try to explain. So first thing you need to imagine is that the base of personality of a DA are shame, fear, avoidance of hurt. Let's say there is some inner pattern I know about and believe it's something nobody in the world would ever accept about me and might only use this info for exploitation. Why would I ever share it in the first place? Okay let's say I realised I need it to be seen in a relationship and I have to share it. But as stated above its something that either won't be accepted or would be exploited. How do I conquer that fear of either being ignored, ridiculed or exploited? Like I'm sure it's gonna happen cause I've seen it before and it can't be unseen. That means I need to be prepared to the moment it happens and my sharing backfires on me. How do I get prepared to it? I make sure I'm not dependent on the person I share it with and they have (ideally) 0 control over me. It's done by either not giving this person any tools to fuck you up (not sharing friends, don't rent apartment together, etc) or being mentally prepared to burn everything you share to the ground and walk away. This is what it takes to be vulnerable for a DA. The sad part is it makes you alone for life. And you might even realise it makes you alone but being unable to brake this pattern. Because it's actually disprovable: for every instance that you can say "I opened up to x person and they didn't fuck me up" you just always add "yet".

I experienced the exact same thing. He called me everyday and was there for me but would not commit.

@@lightofall He just used me, typical avoidant fuck boy, I walked away, he actually wrote me back with a BS apology, saying the feelings weren't reciprocated on his end and didn't see anything we me long term, he said his actions were never meant to be deceitful but if I would've never brought up the conversation he would have continued to string me along 🤦🏻‍♀️ I left him on read (like he would always do to me) the worst part is it still hurts, I hate how he pretended to want a relationship but knew very well he's emotionally unavailable and can't commit

You presentations are wonderful and most helpful, specially now with subtitles, as I still find if difficult to follow your very rapid speech that makes me regret your lovely presentations didn’t go 30% slower and lasted longer 😊 … or are you running away from the nasty wolf?

Sorry, but anyone who wants a healthy relationship should truly avoid an avoidant. End of story. I am no therapist, I am not there to heal another person or accept all the BS that is obviously going on. Any healthy person should really ask themselves if you want to play mama or papa to your "partner!" or if you want a grown up on your side.

Mine spent a lot of time..not at first and really tried to gap the intimacy and touch.. I pushed too hard.. ( I’m AP)and didn’t know our Attachment issues until after the breakup hoping for reconciliation. We were one week from moving in she and her son had spent nearly every weekend at my place and was here 2 1/2 weeks prior to her leaving.she talked engagement. I think it just became too much and she did the DA run..she told me she felt smothered after a week of the breakup and I discovered these videos and i apologized for my part in the unhealthy communication/boundaries dynamic..DA’s are not bad people just f’d up like us other Attachment disorders..( yes I said disorder because we do have a disorder… we’re not secure thus we are not the healthiest in relationships).. but we can change.. my DA( ex) is a beautiful person I got past those walls and she was extremely vulnerable to me… was just the when it got real real she started pulling away and like a “ good little AP” i pulled in.. and thus the problems started….

Could it be that they spend the weekend together because they also require companionship but choose to spend it with someone who they dont need to be too emotionally vulnerable with / keep it casual or sexual than deep and serious? Thanks

my DA did this in the beginning then pulled away 5 days of no contact at all and then he came back sending a meme like nothing happened but since then we haven´t met in person only talked daily online or through phone but I don´t know if he is still interested in the same way, since he doesn´t write me and we aren´t alone only with his friends plaiyng videogames together. I think he likes me and he told me that i´m sexy just last month but he didn´t want to meet again and this is confusing
