You talk about the man being avoidant and the woman wanting him to be emotionally available. I am in an opposite situation. She is avoidant, and I am wanting her to open up.

[@masteringintimacy]

Hey Dave. Thanks so much for sharing 😊 You’re absolutely right. Either gender can be the avoidant partner 🙏🏻 In fact I’ve spoken with many men, like you, who want more emotional intimacy in their relationship. The truth is, the tips in this video can be applied to any gender, so hopefully they will still feel helpful to you!

This girl turns me into an avoidant, which I've been learning on how to work through. Got some amazing work in on myself which I'm pleased with. I still deeply care about her, and it's not something I want in fear of anything. I've been stuck on this girl for years, I've stepped away, she's come back, I would get hurt, but now I'm realizing I was hurting myself, not allowing myself to actually focus on me and work even deeper on top of the work I have done. I need to step back and recenter myself, be patient and focus on ME, not her. She has to do the work on herself if she can develop the courage, proper support, and work through her traumatic experiences to understand where, how, and why she got to where she is just like I had begun years ago, and I'm still learning!! I've grown to love it. It's allowed me to understand myself a lot more and to legitimately work on myself. It can be painful, but what part is painful? The love itself, the lack of availability, the lack of self awareness from within their self? The love isn't painful, what's painful is trying to make someone open up and to move forward. It's like getting close to the sun and trying to find the right distance to not get burned until that sun cools down. We tend to get too close to the sun. We get too close when the situation is at its highest, with the highest emotions involved. This is where people become vulnerable to a negative aspect. This is what you want to divert from. This is where they pull back. They need to work on themselves, and at this point you may need to too so do just that.

You are so very welcome, Meghan 🙏❤ Stay tuned for more videos on the anxious/avoidant cycle coming up!

I had been hanging out with an avoidant for more than a year. I paid attention whenever things feel close he go back to his cave for a while. Uncommunicative, and lately not cooperatin. I don’t feel he value or appreciate me

[@masteringintimacy]

I am so sorry you’ve had this experience, Naser 🙏🫂 A lack of communication and cooperation in a relationship can be very hard to live with and a lonely place to be. The good news is - these dynamics can shift, if both partners are willing to work together. You deserve to be with someone who is a teammate with you ❤

You're so welcome! Happy that this resonates with you! 😊❤

[@2ksnakenoodles]

Never been in a relationship, and the way things are going highly doubt I'll find one soon lol, but thank you for the advice it was good general advice (at least for me) to keep in mind!

[@masteringintimacy]

You are so very welcome ❤ I know it can be hard sometimes to imagine what the future has in store for us, especially when we're single. I certainly couldn't have imagined meeting the wonderful man I'm with today! If you stay open and keep growing, I'm sure you will find what you are looking for when the timing is right 🙏

It's so hard to deal with, my fiancé didn't talk to me those last ten days cause he has some work issues, and he has to choose when we will live together after marriage. Its so hard to live with it

[@masteringintimacy]

I'm so sorry to hear this! 🫂That's really tough. 10 days of unresolved conflict is a LOT for your nervous system to handle 🙏 Does your fiancé know how hard it is for you when he pulls away?

[@lyna5227]

@consciousloving I dont know if he knows that this is hard or not, but I am completely exhausted cause I am anxious too, and I talk to his mother always to search if he was good or no, she also talked to him about me and he told her that everything will be okey I just need space for me.. but in my tour, I cannot resist all this abuse 😥

[@lyna5227]

He also doesn't talk to his mom and brother. He just closed the door of his bedroom and kept all the day there

[@masteringintimacy]

@@lyna5227 Thanks for sharing, Lyna 🫂 It can be so exhausting to handle your own anxiety and to feel shut out from his inner world. In my experience, it can help when the avoidant partner knows how their actions impact you. Please know that I have a private Facebook community where you can share and get support from other people who are overcoming similar challenges in their relationship: facebook.com/groups/masteringintimacy You don't have to handle this alone 🙏❤
