Can DA get completely secure?

[@christinefinn6180]

The issue is they can’t go deeper in a relationship they just want to scratch the surface.. it’s unfair to put up with push pull on off in out dynamic..

[@msanonymous704]

Being in a relationship with an DA is the worst. He literally said „I can‘t live without you“ and 5 min later he left during an argument and didn‘t call for the last 3 months. We are married.

They never ask for space. They just suddenly hate you or something. HATE THEM BACK

Exactly. They just out of nowhere get angry at you. Mine left and made up a reason to be angry with me. I called him out on the BS then stopped all contact. I knew I hadn’t done anything to deserve the way he treated me

Nah for hate there need to be love. And they were fake so you loved a mirage. They dont deserve your hate because you dont love the real them 😂😂

No contact is a temporary fix in a relationship with a DA. The pulling away and DA shut downs will continue unless the DA is self-aware and willing to get help for their issues.

[@Eg-jd9zt]

Yes it’s always a cycle. I would give him space to think and we’d talk later but I got tired of being on standby at times and him always “needing to think about us” even with small stupid things. Started to feel like it was devaluing in some ways

[@Ytdeletesallmycomments]

They do get help but still dont want to change. See my comment above. The boohoo victim

[@mrsimo7144]

8 months into a relationship with numerous ghosted episodes. Blamed myself and did lots of work to improve myself, but every 5 weeks there was a problem, always me. I then found out that she was a dismissive avoidant with BPD traits. She literally ruined me to the point of not wanting to be here. The pain and suffering was surreal. I was so depressed being with her. 3 weeks ago of NC and I'm coming back to myself. I consider myself lucky in life, but with her, made me feel worthless and extremely isolated. Good luck to you all. You're amazing. Keep it that way. Love from the UK ❤️

This is exactly what happened in my relationship. Going very well, no arguments just discussions if an issue came up, working on a future together and one day I came home and he packed everything and left then made up a bogus reason to be angry. I let it go because I can’t function off dysfunction like that.

Same he dumped me for meeting his parents on accident..

[@rhonnieminnie]

Its been 7 months since my ex turned my green flags into deal breakers. Im secure, so i never chased and always offered understanding and compassion. I accept that he will hate me forever bc i saved money for a home he told me to budget for, told him about laws he agreed with, and wanted kids bc he said he wanted a daughter. I dont hate him, not mad at him, and hope he doesn't learn the hard way how rare it is for woman to be ok with being a step parent to a special needs child with a bittet baby mama. I hope he finds "better" and it was the right decision to hurt the one person who validated his feelings.

[@Redstiletto22]

Rhonnie Minnie I can agree with all that you’ve said! I’m just learning about dismissive Avoidants and realizing that my husband of 8 years is textbook. (I’m a female btw with a boy’s name lol) I always knew something was “off” about him in that we are not emotionally close, he has stonewalled me twice after 2 (!) heated arguments in 8 years…both times being ostracized for defending myself against him or his family. Punishment has never fit the crime with him. I was secure and this has sure brought out some anxious nonsense in me. I know he was abused by his dad while his mom did nothing. The kicker? She lives with us…so if her passive agressive bullshit wasn’t enough now I have to break bread every night with the woman that facilitated his disorder. Damn. Yeah…I’ve wished him luck in my own thoughts finding a woman who will put up with no eye contact sex, no atta boys or any other words of affirmation, and a crazy as hell ex wife/kids mom who now I understand why went crazy. This IS crazy making at its finest. Saddest part to me is….if/when this whole thing goes to shit, he will not feel it emotionally like I will. Thanks for letting me rant. 💕

[@rhonnieminnie]

@@Redstiletto22 my ex's parents live with him. He hates his father, and his mother watches his disabled son. I offered to do watch his kid bc we both work from home, and i have always preferred working early, so its not like i was sacrificing any. He watched his father abuse his mom his whole life, so he decided to do worse to me. The punishment doesn't fit the "crime". We disagreed on the smallest most insignificant things, and he threw the whole relationship away. My parents have been married for 38 years and one thing i learned....you let some shit go. He took out his resentment of having a disabled child out on me bc i was the only variable in his life that he had control over.

With regards to the NC, I've tried all different ways. It won't work if they have lost interest or attraction to you. Please trust me. I was so incredibly sad and depressed being with my DA, I almost considered not being here. No one has the right to make you like shit.

[@m3llytan]

Absolutely right! I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain to be able to teach that to people. I feel like I did too, just not as bad but still harrowing....The best lessons really can be the hardest.

[@Naomi-gr7fm]

Remember, no contact is for you! If you are not getting what you need/have requested and communication is flaky, you do not keep chasing and need to begin investing in giving that attention to yourself. One person's lack of acknowledgment of you is no measure of your self worth. You define that.

[@mrsimo7144]

Thanks people. Update. December 4. She caused me so much stress I had a seizure. I messaged her and nothing. To date, this has effected me the most. Definitely a PTSDy situation right there. Much love ❤️

They certainly seem to fair better in those types of relationships. The ones they are being used in. If you sincerely care about them then they repay you with all kinds of slights and poor behavior then inevitably ghost you!

[@yellowpurples832]

You are really left confused and 😢 ask yourself, what happened? In addition you didn't get any closure. That's when you get more confused! This is the classic sign of avoidant attachment disorder!!! 😢😢😢

[@anewlifestirring]

The situation described are realistic and the strategies suggested very useful, specially, in remembering that “no contact” is not ghosting or sulking but reducing contact to what would normally be the case in warm social interactions, but no more. How we label people and their core wounds is perhaps not as important as how we respond to the interactions of individuals around us. Whatever the cause, we cannot establish a fruitful relation with a hesitant person and reconsidering the correct distance for a length of time, rather than putting an end to a relationship, is an obvious solution to be adopted.

[@ladyowl9187]

Ive gone no contact with my avoident. I broke up with him. I could see the signs. He just couldn't communicate at all. I was walking on eggshells. I love him though. Its been hard. Otherwise our relationship was mostly positive, but he was very caged. Meh.

[@terrybella7439]

I was blindsided last week after 6 mos of a perfect, love at first site, relationship. I feel that all that makes sense is that she is a DA. I understand that there must have been some sort of trigger. But yes, just straight blindsided. Told me I “check all the boxes for her” and that she “loves” me but that she “could not see a future for us”. Crushed me. Your videos are very helpful, thank you!

It would be great to know a bit how to deal with social media with a dismissive avoidant while doing no contact. If they still follow you, should you keep them from seeing your stories to actually make them even more curious what you‘re up to and miss you even more or will them seeing what you‘re up to actually make them miss you more because they might see what they‘re missing out on and that you‘re doing fine without them.

I am an Anxious and my partner is Avoidant but what confuses me is that she got really triggered about some things and i started working on my self a month ago and she even acknowledged how immerse the change and how fast. She never broke up with me but she was distant and currently we live in different counties. The last conversation we had she went on full panic mode as soon she mention breaking up and i had to calm her down by making her do some breathing work. I suggested since she never really took some time for her self and clearly she don't wont to lose me by the way she acting to do some no contact since i was every other day trying to reach out. I though it would be good for her to relax and get some space and for her to finally be able to feel her feelings without fear. When i mentioned that she start panicking again what if but i want to know how you doing and how's your new job going etc. I took that again as a positive since all i read and heard is that if avoidant wants to break up they just do. I never saw any video mentioning something similar to my situation. Do you think no contact will be good in my case?

My DA moved out in Feb. but he’s kept in contact. But stays avoidant. He left all his garage stuff here and we were together for 5 years. He’s been getting my daughter here and there and offered to come to cedar point with us next month. I don’t know what to think. I’m confused. He claims it’s all in my head that he’s giving me false hope and he also claims we can only be friends and that I need to accept we may always only be friends. I have left him alone really and just talked when he’s seen my daughter and it’s seemed kosher but very distant still. I’m just doing my own thing and healing myself. This is no life to live waiting for anyone. His mother passed away also a month after he moved and he claims he needs to focus on a lot in his life and figure out himself and that could take years and by then he said I’d be moved on. So I don’t know. I told him I still loved and cared about him but I can’t really give much more of any energy. That was months ago when we had that convo. He seems cold and angry when he comes around and then other times he’s nice and calm. I don’t know but I’m not playing these games. If he wants me he can make it known. I’m not settling for this bs anymore.

My DA is very hard working as well. The hard working is a way to numb the feelings. Same like alcohol, drugs, binge watching tv-show, ... to push down all those nasty feelings. Also for him, the only validation he got as a child was when he worked hard. If he worked hard (in school, in and outside the house fixing things, ...) he would be rewarded with a new game or gasoline for his quad. He associates happiness with materialistic achievements. It's always the next goal, "if I reach that, i'll be happy", but when he does reach his goal, he's not that happy.... go figure.

A lot of the time rebounds don’t work. And the DA is bound to find a flaw, and you’ll start to become the phantom ex and he’ll become infatuated with you. Just work on yourself. Don’t be needy. Learn how to soothe your own separation anxiety. You’d want to be secure by the time he reaches out via indirect direct way. Play it cool; make him feel the separation anxiety you felt when he left. If he wants to come back be prepared to discuss what he needs to work on so that it’ll happen. Maybe show him he’s a DA

I was watching your videos on youtube unfortunately I didn't know about DA attachment style and I need your advice: I have been in a relationship for 5 years and after talking about moving in together she started learning tango and making new friends. one night he went dancing with them, turned off his mobile, etc. When we met we argued, she told me that I was controlling her and she didn't speak to me for 3 days. On the third day I went to see her and she told me that she wanted to continue in the relationship but that I should give her some time. I respect that. but she started seeing a person from her tango class who was 20 years older (she is 42! and he is 60).. going to parties.. etc. 1 month later he talks to me about something of little importance and says he wants to continue like this. She asked me to talk, but I told her that it was better to let her calm down a bit over time before speaking.I have been in zero contact for 3 months. what should I do? I really loved her, we both got along, there were no arguments, and we had many plans for the future. Is it possible for her to change her mind? who should break zero contact? I think she should do it when she's ready to talk...since we haven't talked since the breakup.

[@chickletmonstah]

She did the indirect direct contact by reaching out. There may be hope for y’all but she needs to freaking change some ways prior to getting back together

[@marirodriguez9795]

How do you do no contact while living together? Also how should you go about it if your DA ex also suffers from PTSD because of their time in the military? Plz help

Whag if a DA falls out of love with you when u are an AA

[@robertfinkelstein2787]

What happens if the person is a fearful avoidant and you do no contact

[@dvmn444]

Fearful avoidant need no contact but they also need you to reach out when necessary when using your discernment on a case by case basis lol...

[@robertfinkelstein2787]

Thank you for clearing this up for me. Then I have been dealing with a dismissive avoidant for sure. She has no issues with sex. However, I do believe that after sex she stays away because she has become destressted

[@cherylthompson2731]

Iam a FA and it would be very hurtful

[@sshuteandrew]

An FA will most likely come back to you and at least initiate a conversation in no contact because they will eventually have anxiety in space.

[@katymello3547]

If someone does no contact with me, as an FA, I’m completely done. Never coming back.

[@shereses.3298]

"NO contact" with a DA is not sustainable. It is a temporary fix for a long-term problem that will perpetuate without the DA finding some sort of self-awareness. I am a recovering FA who was in a relationship with a DA for a year and a half. Even with my avoidant side, and so many other strategies put in place to tolerate his dysfunction. I HAD TO LEAVE. Their behavior is truly UNBEARABLE, especially when its coupled with a Dark Triad personality type 💯💯💯

[@yellowpurples832]

So, three weeks post break-up, finally my ex avoidant dumper reached out to me. At first, I was surprised 😮. Tbh, I thought I would be happy. However, upon reading his statement, it seems to me that he had no remorse at all. He even made it appear that I initiated the events leading for him to dump me.. His statement was: "Hi. If you want to talk, call me tom. You initiated this, so i am not calling. I want to resolve this as I am not happy and I miss you." What are your thoughts??? Should I answer him? Should I tell him that he needs to go to therapy? 😕😔😟🤷🏻‍♀️

[@arfi_saldian]

No stay on NC. Be strong. He wanted to regain control over you. No accountability.

[@Seraphina93]

Trust me it’ll always be like that.

[@EJ-433]

Mind games... My ex-wife says she is not sexually attracted, however, we do have sex once in a while or kiss sometimes and we do hug a lot. She blocked me on all her social media pages, but she called me her best friend and she want us to be good to each other. When I ask her why she has sex with me if she is not attracted...she says I do it for you. 🤔 sometimes she goes very cold like I am a stranger and sometimes acts loving, and caring and tells me she loves me, but not in love with me pfff I recently stopped talking to her and kept myself busy with work and other things cause im tired of the On and Off behaviors she plays. What does this mean?

[@marianacampos7959]

My husband also told me he wasn't attracted to me and I didn't please him sexually. I KNOW there was a time when I did....tbh, I think these ppl make themselves believe all this negative crap so they don't feel deep attachment. He also said he loved me, but not the way I loved him...even though he told me regularly he loved me and all this bs. They will tell themselves ANYTHING to believe they are not "in love" or that they "care deeply" because they're afraid to get hurt by being vulnerable. They're deeply troubled people....their fear is irrational.

[@kimlarso]

It means you should definitely move on!

[@nataliegreenham]

My DA I have been dating is in therapy and I told him (very tactfully of course) that he had a specific attachment style and perhaps he could discuss this with his psych. Anyway, he hit the roof about being labeled again and has told me to leave him alone. I did message him a brief “sorry” a few days later for triggering him and have been going no contact. He also has not reached out and I’m not wanting to trigger him further. Any advice?

[@QueMeVezWei]

@@ronmexico8383 Rob, i think I might have a DA myself, my ex has the Anxious attachment. I am currently trying to work with my issue bc I feel it was triggered from something that happened in my childhood. there are some things that you said that dont match with the way I act in the relationship but i appreciate your input. There is always room for growth :)

[@rainbowgirljules]

Hi Natalie, I let my ex DA know (tactfully too, of course!) that he showed all signs of the DA attachment style and that he may wish to understand it more in order for him to heal his attachment wound. He's now blocked me. I don't regret calling him out on it because I wasn't afraid of the consequences. Here's sending compassion to anyone who's been brave enough to call out a DA; not to set out be critical but coming from a place of real care. It's up to them if they choose to avoid their own attachment style!

[@worldwidechubbyguy2.018]

@@rainbowgirljules your first mistake is TELLING them about his attachment style. He already has his stress and wound cup half full so you kind of telling him something that he didn't ask for fills it up fully. The way you should open it up to him is by telling him that YOU are learning about YOUR attachment style, and then easing it up by ASKING - what does he think HIS attachment style is. Not telling him outright what his style. It should come from him (and you leading him into it). He needs to discover it himself because you telling him about his style triggers his core wounds that he is already wrong (or that something is wrong with him), and he will get the sense that its HIM who is doing the effort of learning about his style - and therefore he might become interested (because they are independent and they value things that they do by themselves).

Talk about the issues

[@PB-md3nt]

Go back into NC again, until THEY reach out to you. AND THEY WILL

[@droflivelife]

I left my wife of 19 years because I foolishly feel in love with a DA. I'm 48 she is 30. That should of been my first red flag. After 3 months of an amazing relationship the troubles began. We were on and off again for months. Right on 12 months she left me just as she moved to my house. It's been 6 weeks no contact and I've heard nothing. She use to always text other males so I'm sure she has moved on quickly and won't look back.

[@WayneZalinksy]

What? You’re surprised that the cheating home wrecker cheated on you and left you like you left your wife? Shocker.

[@WayneZalinksy]

@@droflivelife you say that as if infidelity is a situation someone can just find themselves in. It requires willing participants. I wouldn’t judge someone for falling in love with someone who hurt them. I can judge someone for expecting sympathy if they’re a total hypocrite, though

[@Shae_3]

Why did you leave your wife, was it a bad marriage? Did y’all have children?

[@droflivelife]

@Shae_3 just an update now been 7 months. I reached out after 5 months and she was cold as ice. No intention of getting back. I left my wife because we had not been intimate for over 4 years, and we did not have any children together. I wanted kids but she didn't. She was a great person but it felt like living with a room mate.

[@brianrostron4328]

My ex dumped me for no reason she told me she didn't want to come back after that she she changed her number on her phone and so did her family I am blocked everywhere and I cannot get in touch with her when she was young as you had a very bad bring up could this be affecting her something just get it off for some reason I feel I'm being punished for something what I do not know what I have done do these kind of people do things like this maybe into her for a long time I felt that she was my soulmate I'm just going to my mind I didn't know what to do

[@chelsealance6645]

I’m in the same boat. They don’t communicate what’s really going on, and then turn into a different person over night. As if that’s not shocking enough, they then block you from their lives like they don’t care if you live or die.

[@chelsealance6645]

I have honestly never felt so much pain in my life. I don’t even know who that person is. I literally could not swallow food for an entire week and wanted to die

[@salvomig2368]

All depends what you’re trying to achieve in using no contact. If you want to get together again, then if reaches out to you, do not ignore. But don’t just jump right back into a relationship, you’ll wanna go slow and see how it goes. If you want nothing to do with him, then let him know you’re done, please don’t contact me. Ultimately, no contact is for you to better yourself and heal.

The video that I’ll be watching after this says why No Contact won’t work. It’s worked for me so far, the longest we’ve gone without talking is 9 days and she’s reached out and she nearly always does. I don’t want to do NC because communication is key but I feel my SP/DA pulling away and she goes cold and cancels our plans and I will not fall into the trap of chasing and pushing when she doesn’t want to.
