Avoidant exes don’t always come back

[@wchamp170]

Be grateful if they just go.

[@jenakinskywalker]

Absolutely agree, been strung along for 6 months and then discarded. They told me they loved me and what not, wanted to commit and then suddenly said they’re not ready. They didn’t respect my wish for no contact couple of times and expected to be friends with me, whilst dating two other ladies. I am so grateful, that I cut them off completely and have my mental peace again. Never again.

[@henpus21]

Everytime I miss him.. I tell to myself, I have to separate how I feel about him VS how he make me feel (being abondoned, ghosting, never explained, inconsistency, asking my worth) And above all, I am worthy and deserve for someone that really wants me to stay beside of him. Move on from DA is the best.. Don't give him an access to enter my life again. If you want to go the door is open.. But I appreciate someone that say something before go If you want to stay, pls work on yourself become secure person. Don't ruin someone heart

[@DaddysBoyOtis]

are you missing the time when you didn't have all the wounds happen yet, or are you missing what you think their potential is? Because if you get rid of those two scenarios you see what you're left with simply who they were and how they treated you. No man is going to put the wrong foot forward just for fun.

[@johndevivo8683]

Great job. Always think about how they make you feel. Anxious, de-valued, unsure, with no security, wanting more, unclear how they actually feel, unsure of their commitment to the future. Did I say ANXIOUS. AGITATED. IRRITABLE

[@暗香晚风]

“If you want to go the door is open..

Avoidant attachment needs to be studied as a personality disorder. There’s no way it isn’t

She won’t come back because she knows with me the degree to which she will have to face up to herself, avoidants can’t do that at the best of times.

Yeah, I'm probably not going to hear back from my avoidant ex. I lashed out in anger towards them after they said they need to leave because of how much emotional distress the relationship was causing them

[@maureenm6137]

I did the same thing. I was soooo hurt. Looking back I think he wanted me to do that, so in his head it was me that was the problem and me that broke up with HIM. I think avoidant partners know they’ll have to take accountability and try to reflect and repair, which is why they don’t come back. Who knows, I give up 🤷‍♀️

Lashing out will absolutely make them leave and honestly, rightfully so. I think we forget how to talk to our partners sometimes and even if we're angry, we should know how to be in control of our anger and emotions. Any type of emotional volatility will push me right away.

[@domingoalsina2303]

It blows my mind the amount of people making videos about how very likely is for an avoidant to come back. It is quite the opposite, specially when you exposed them and call them out on their appalling behaviour. Moreover, their emotional unavailability made easy for them to rationalise you were not a good match, regardless of how long they strung you along. Also, while they have supply of branches to monkey around, they won't need to confront the pain they caused. And of course, unless something really big happens to them (family death, narc abuse, a big collapse), they will neither look inwards, -they very rarely do-, nor will risk rejection, if they ever feel regret for losing you. Avoidants very rarely come back. And what a gift that is.

[@jamie-r2034]

my ex gf has come back before but she finally realizes that there's something wrong. In fact she just started texting me again after about 6 weeks. I didn't plead, beg, or any of that - I was sad though that she thought destroying our family was worth it instead of talking to me and us trying something to repair it. We have been together for 12 years and have a daughter. I noticed when shit gets crazy in her life she starts the love bombing which happened last year but within 3 months it went back to the usual. I'm just now finally aware of what she is after she broke it off with me by a text message on a monday morning as soon as i got to my office at work

[@暗香晚风]

Generally avoidance is inhumane and they are not suitable for love.

[@The_Whimsical_Avoidant]

Avoidant, anxious and secure men have always tried to come back into my life. Key word is try because regardless of attachment, I rarely try again with an ex. As for wanting to hurry into a new relationship, maybe some but not me. It takes me years to let someone new come in. I think those who constantly need a parter usually have a deep insecurity within themselves and don't like being alone. I see that with all insecure attachments. I guess I'm the FA/SA oddball because relationship hopping is strange to me.

[@ijv5567]

A year has 365 days, and you only started NC 150 days ago. That leaves over 200 days that you were still in regular contact with your ex that dumped you? Assuming you were probably the one initiating the contact I think because of this the odds aren't in your favor here and you may need to give it more time. However I feel like you can't move on because of it so it's a tough situation. The thing is you can only break NC once, if she says no, then you should really never do it again. But can you really do that? Are you prepared to whatever outcome you might get from her whether positive, negative, ignoring or even blocking you? You could do it in a way to rip the bandaid off, one final rejection is all you need to fully move on. But it sounds to me you might not have the willpower to do this, or you only learned about No Contact 200 days after the breakup.

It doesn't matter at all so don't be too hard on yourself, you don't need this additional stress. The basic stress is bad enough. We need to give up this sense of control with this no contact stuff.
