How To Get My Ex Back - The Male Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style | Romantic Relationship Advice

[@cloudslady3400]

A promise to dear self: no matter what I feel I will never date a DA or any emotionally unavailable person I do deserve better than this! 👍

[@upsykimsy]

But often, you don't recognise what attachment style someone has until you've begun dating them, several weeks/months down the line, and that's only if you have the awareness to know about attachment styles.

[@cloudslady3400]

@@upsykimsy yeah maybe but for me because I read a lot about attachment styles I can realize it very fast.. for example people who call themselves cold.. are more likely avoidants..people who have difficulty expressing their emotions are also avoidants I think it is very clear I can guess it in a week or so spent more time before calling him or her a boyfriend or a girlfriend is the key.. know them well before building any kind of emotional connection with them in your head🙃👍👍

[@brunoferreira553]

thais says is possible to figure out the attachment style of your date around 3 or 4 dates. That's pretty quickly. ATTACHED book also says it is possible to figure it out in a few weeks to a few months. To figure it out quickly you need to make the right questions and use effective communication.

[@starshake8998]

All of these videos skip over the fundamental starting problem. Avoidants don't want to talk in the first place. That's the WHOLE problem. It doesn't matter how brilliant and well-thought out our communication plan is if the guy is only willing to watch TV or talk about movies and the minute you mention anything real, he's tired and needs to leave. Make a video that specifically tells us how to deal with THAT.

[@julieb4765]

Very true. The last real conversation I had, I asked him if I could call so we could discuss the misunderstanding that upset him and he just said, "I don't really want to honestly." I'm better off without him.

[@deniseulrich3684]

So true, no matter how well thought out I start a conversation with him, as soon as I approach anything that has to do with our relationship, his emotions or lack of, he immediately get frustrated, negative, nasty, and then if he can bring himself down he just throws out a statement that has nothing to do with what we were originally talking about. Happens every time.

[@Princess_0f_Trees]

Exactly. I would have said so many of these things if I hadn’t been asked over and over again to give him space. He was never nasty towards me. But, I had no opening. He never gave me one.

[@regulatefitness]

As a male with a Detachment-avoidant lean I can relate to this and in the past I totally used to go into my ‘cave’. It caused to breakdown of many relationships after my partner finally got so exasperated it ended. Ultimately I had to recognise this pattern was destructive and it had to change. It’s still definitely a work in progress but now rather than going into a cave I ask for extra time to process what I’m feeling and then re-engage to discuss. What I’ve interpreted from a lot of Thais videos is ultimately you need to respect your own needs & boundaries, communicate them clearly and set a deadline for progress. If the partner isn’t then willing to do the work then there may not be the right person? A demonstration of love and vulnerability is to be able to admit to your flaws and be willing to work on them because you value & respect your partner. It’s folly to stay in something that continuously makes you feel unfulfilled & unhappy and it doesn’t matter how much time you’ve already invested (Sunk cost fallacy).

@@Alphacentauri819 I wouldn't really throw the book at him, any more than I would shake a turtle. I love my bloke. Its just so frustrating him not talking to me. Its been three months now. I have no need to better myself, there's absolutely nothing wrong with who I am. I know my self-worth. I am confident, secure and intelligent, loving, kind and successful in my field. All qualities that he was attracted to. Our break-up is purely down to his emotional engulfment, resulting retreat and a strategically placed manipulative previous ex-girlfriend, who also happens to be his buffer. I am using this time to enjoy the shared interests that we used to have, in the hope that he will engage with that, and doing some of the things I haven't been able to do as much of, now the lockdown has eased - such as going to the gym instead of working out at home, cycling, publishing some more of my work, researching, writing new material, spending time with my horse etc. But thanks for your concern ;)

[@busyazn]

Thanks for your explanation. Dating a male DA is hard, especially if they don't communicate. Great tips. Thank you for validating why I have a deadline with him. 5:15 Give a deadline on the relationship progress. 6:25 Define your boundaries: what will you put up with? What are the non negotiables? What' wasn't working for you? Write out those things. Phrase it as a need. 8:35 Know the why and convert it into a specific need. 9:03 Get specific on what he , the DA, needs. When he pulls away, he feels misunderstood. They want their emotions understood & felt heard. Validate their feelings. Wait until the 6th week or the loss of the relationship, start light then open the dialogue. Show empathy, ex: I would feel " whatever emotion they felt". Communicate specific ideas or strategies to deal with this next time. 14:25 Justification of your behavior will limit your growth. Observe your behavior. Show seasoning of support/ empathy/understanding. 16:20 Have a conversation/ communication, preferably face to face. Acknowledge your points of what you recognize of their feelings. They appreciate it bc they process this logically. It's your job to insert your needs, too. 18:40 Assemble solutions & ask "does this make sense, is this something we can compromise on?" Spend time together & enjoy it. Don't put pressure on having a relationship. Practice communicating your needs & checking on their needs weekly. Later if things are going well, communicate your need for a commitment on what they fear & ask for feedback (is that something you're interested in, what are you afraid will happen, etc).

[@shannond8029]

5 months NC and 5 years dealing with such dismissive behavior has definitely opened my mind to what hell this man has to deal with each day in his own brain, but stagnant is not how I roll so I had to leave after trying just about everything. it still breaks my heart that the needle never moved except when he was wanting a connection then the record stopped then back to skipping over and over I was so confused until I found out about attachment styles. It's amazing how broken some humans our because of their unmet needs and down right abuse as a child. I hope nothing but the best for him and wish he was able to see that he is worthy of that deep love with trust . Myself? I'm still dancing and will continue to just a little smarter for the next ❤ lLove to all that are hurting and confused, heal yourself, it does get better with time and Knowledge.

Jesus Christ that’s just not worth it. Take the time away from the DA to strengthen your boundaries and never return to a relationship that leaves you questioning your self worth and puts you in a deeply anxious state. I vented about how I felt I was being given breadcrumbs and how much it was hurting me and he just said I didn’t need to worry about his breadcrumbs anymore and blocked me in every social media possible. Can you truly communicate with someone like that? No. Not then, not now, not ever. It hurt a lot but apart from the disappointment I’m just glad that he did the hardest part (something I was too codependent for) and now I see myself free from anxiety and need for validation. Never again.

He is DA,I am Anxious preoccupied.it's a LDR. It will never work. I kept begging for attention,connection,openess,even basic communication at times. The only way he shows any emotion or connection is by sex.once that's done he turns his back on me,cuts communication to minimum and turns very cold. When I want to end it he tries for a bit and then the same repeats. Cold as ice..I can't do it anymore, it's humiliating for me to keep begging for even the tiniest expression of something nice.I have to trick him into at least saying yes I do when I ask if he feels this or sees me as this. I am exhausted.

Now he says he doesn't love me anymore, doesn't even like me, and doesn't think it's fair to get back together. But he does say some things that makes me think he still wants me around, maybe to try something in the future... I kind of felt he won't invest in this right now because of his parents (they got involved in our fight) and because it's been only 6 weeks. I'm thinking about going NC now... today I talked about it and he said he prefers that we keep talking, but I can't expect anything from him.

@@astrale-l3n If you really want to try, then maybe you can use what Thais shared in this video, but from my experience, you will need lots of support and still you may not move forward. Often the DA wants the good but can't reciprocate except in small breadcrumb doses, at least in my case that was true. I held on to hope because I couldn't understand what was going on. I didn't understand attachment styles and was thinking if I just worked at it, he would come around to a place where we could just have a heart to heart. By the time that he was ready to have that talk, and we could've had the heart to heart, I was so invested emotionally and hurting so much, reeling from his disconnection and me wanting that connection so bad that my view was too clouded. I wanted to communicate my boundaries, but kept compromising to try to keep connection even if just as friends. The worst part is that we weren't even dating. He was trying to connect with me only to fill his own needs but not reciprocating. I became entangled because I could see the sweetness in him, and kept thinking there was a beautiful good man inside of him. But after years of trying to even stay connected, there's nothing from him. I am left picking up the pieces of my own brokenness, but now I see where I need to do some work. I am hoping to be strong enough to do that work and heal. You can maybe skip all of what I wasted time doing and move into a happier place and find someone who is not a DA and be really happy, finding someone who will do the work a relationship takes alongside of you. And if you keep working on yourself, and taking care of your own heart, it will be yours! ❤ You deserve that happiness! If I believed you could have it with the DA, then I would tell you to stay. Best of luck to you dear girl, and much happiness to your future ahead no matter what you choose! ❤

Whenever I see things about avoidant partners and the lack of time they tend to give, videos are always like “if once a week ins’t enough” or “twice a week”… and I’m just like…. If I had gotten to see my partner twice a week I would have been over the moon. He wanted to meet once a month. And sometimes he canceled that even. I WISH i could have gotten him to want to see me once a week.

[@HeavenlyEchoVirus]

I’m an extremely secure and patient person. My ex was in a long distance relationship with me. Every issue that he brought up I listened to, and since it was all reasonable, I accommodated it. According to my ex, I did nothing wrong, and I was the best partner he ever had. And he still broke up with me out of nowhere via text because he realised he had love for me but wasn’t in love with me. I feel like the whole problem here is unless a person identifies as an avoidant, they don’t recognise any of what’s happening and just decide you’re not the one even when everything is going perfectly. They will find a way out.

[@Micro_Learning]

The DA I was seeing...it tended to be once every 2-3 weeks. So twice-a-month(ish). I wasn't happy with that, but in the first three months, I thought of it as him taking it slow, not being an absolute weirdo avoidant lol. But as time wore on and he stayed at that clip (with some exceptions where we saw each other 7 days after the previous time), I realized he is just going to be like this...only wanting to set an in-person date every 2 to 3 weeks even though we live only 8 miles from each other.

[@schuylerwednesday4679]

I'm sorry you went through that.it is very hurtful to go through through that.i got my ex back a month ago and it has been extremely very difficult for me.he was extremely clingy,needy and dependent on me before throughout the relationship.when he broke up with me I didn't go full on no contact.he was hot and cold and even cruel to me.the worst thing I immediately developed health problems right after he broke up with me.we were broken up for 8 months and I got diagnosed with a heart problem and a liver problem less than 6 months into the breakup.i was healing from the breakup then the health issues arose.it is too much for me.one thing after another.and even those he seemed supportive and receptive and sympathetic but it didn't stop him from being cruel to me cuz he thinks I'm not the only one who was hurt in the breakup that his pain is bigger. A month ago he apologized to me and said he wants to fix things and he asked me to be with him.but damn I regret he completely changed...he became so avoidant.he has this new policies and perception that he implements and refuses to compromise. He didn't like the way he was before in our relationship but he didn't tell me so I don't have any idea that he felt like that.thats his fault for keeping things to himself. I am having such a hard time adjusting to his new self.im trying so hard to understand this...this is like a culture shock for me...like a completely different person...he doesn't see the need to share stuff with me.it is like everything we did and used to do... nothing anymore So I understand how you feel.my complaints go unheard.i am anxious preoccupied I think.but when we were together at first I was a bit of an avoidant but I gradually shed it at that time.we agreed to try to make it work but I can't do this by myself and we are on long distance.it has always been like that.it was never an issue before but now I can feel how hard it is.

Wow Thais, you are a huge wealth of super effective, concise, applicable and tangible information on this very difficult topic! Thank you so much. I can’t express how helpful your videos on DAs have been for me.. I’ve never encountered this kind of behaviour (I’m a secure attachment style) and has zero idea what was going on… I googled everything from typical Taurus man traits (of which many are similar/ precursor to avoidant!), to breadcrumbing (which I’d never heard of either!) and then came across you and oh my word. NOW I get his behaviour to a tee.. Interested, hot cold, v interested, a couple of dates, then nothing but texts, alluding to seeing each other but zero plans being laid and each time I offered a coffee/ walk by the river zero response. So I’d leave him be, only to have him text again 3 days later.. I’ve just yesterday left him a heartfelt voice message pretty much outlining what you’ve covered here, (even though I hadn’t seen your video) that these are my needs and offering him the space to meet me in the middle and express his needs so I can understand him and his position and honour them properly.. and let him know there was no pressure from me if he didn’t want to have that conversation, that I’d understand if it wasn’t right for him and to just leave it be.

I've tried to be more accepting of who he is because he's very loving & affectionate, supportive with family things, & being physically giving with helping me with things that I can't do alone, such as home projects. I've tried to simply go with it because he says I'm too rigid in my way of thinking; I'm seeing that he has lead me to self-doubt. I walked away a few weeks ago.

You'll never know what's in that phone, not that you should, because my DA would get upset if I just mentioned his phone was ringing. It always on silent mode too and he never answers it in front of me My guy is so private many of his contact names in his cellphone are initials. I know his behavior sounds suspicious but DMs are extremely private. He actually warned me about coming to his home without permission. That made me suspicious so from time to time I would drive by and I've never seen any suspicious activity.

This channel has really helped me understanding my anxious attachment style and his dismissive behavior.

Disclaimer that I'm a DA and can't imagine myself chasing anyone but... is it really healthy to be going through strategies to "win" back someone who is done with you, regardless of their attachment style? Someone not respecting my decision to leave a relationship would just make me run faster

[@austinnguyen9107]

That's the thing tho, almost every time their fears pushed them over the edge to breakup even if they still have a lot of feelings for their partner. I could literally see the internal struggle from my DA ex during the breakup. After a couple months (of no contact), when those fears dissipate, only the feelings are left and they come back. Quite common

[@bouclechocolat]

@@austinnguyen9107 sure, I agree that that's common enough, but there's a difference between a mutually-expressed interest in getting back together after they changed their mind, and you going after them before they've done the processing you just described

[@austinnguyen9107]

@@bouclechocolat Good clarification. I agree, the DA needs to want to reconnect first and the partner wanting to get back together before the DA is ready will just push them even farther away. As the secure-anxious partner myself, I wish I could tell my DA ex about attachment styles to speed things up (because I'll probably fully move on by the time the figure it out) but I'm in NC rn. If they come back, and want to do the work I'm open to trying again. Your thoughts? Would even telling them about attachment styles before they come back push them away more? My ex broke up bc of fears, but feelings were still there. You could see the internal struggle

[@bouclechocolat]

@@austinnguyen9107 caveat that i'm apparently abnormal among DA's and have been very curious about the "i feel so different from everyone else" thing for some time now, but I think opening up the dialogue about attachment styles to a receptive DA would be good. I'd recommend maybe not opening too aggressively, I think simply asking if they know about attachment styles and encouraging them to do a short self-assessment or read about them on their own would feel less like an attack than being told "I think you have a DA attachment style."

[@HeavenlyEchoVirus]

Yeah I think no one is saying relentlessly pursue anyone. But if you feel like your ex is going to regret this choice, that they fled the relationship when nothing was wrong and they will probably wish one day they hadn’t, obviously you can’t just go back to the way things were because it will happen again. So I think the idea is, if the DA ex wants to reconcile, and you do too, this is what has to be understood if a reconciliation is to be successful.

[@luisheldon7037]

What about an ex who is shifty (he was a bit like this too in relationship it is as if he had emotional or connexion amnesia at times): He tells me that he misses me and wants to hug me and kiss me and asks me if he could visit me and then says he wants distance, no romance anymore. When I asked him if he still wants to visit, he said that okay but I won't be romantic. I said, oh that's not what you... He cuts me to say "I never said I would". Now he is cold and acts polite whereas before christmas, he was all lovey with me. So : would be all lovey and then acts as if the loving time never occured. If something stresses him out, his defensive walls are high and he can go dismissive. What is this attachment style and how to bring him back/closer ? Thank you

You’re right though, on jumping into a relationship rather than working on their issues.

[@nachogoatcheese1761]

@@MeAnINFP idealizing might indicate more of a narc or borderline thing (they aren't the same, borderlines have so much overlap with the symptoms of having had a relationship with a narc, though) than the result of an attachment style. I think my fear of attachment at all comes from narcs mostly but then later borderlines. Narcs do not see a boundary between the self and other. They need partners that function as a magic mirror and only reflect traits they believe they deserve to have but do not believe themselves capable of. If that mirror eventually has a speck on it, its like in the Greek story where the nymph Echo frustratedly flicked at the water. The ripples distorted his perfect reflection and he ~lost it~. Wished for annihilation. Borderline would be like Echo: she could only repeat what he said so was annihilated too. I think there are ways an attachment style can mimic this kind of dynamic if people aren't careful but they arent the same thing.

What are your suggestions on still living together but separated

[@toscadonna]

Why would anyone want one of these avoidant monsters? Everyone should dump these evil folks as soon as their wicked ways show themselves. Then maybe they’d stop being assholes. We’ve all been abused a children. Get over it! You are now supposedly an adult, and it’s time for you to either grow up and act as a human being or be alone like you truly deserve. Bring the pain to these folks just like they do to us. If they get shunned enough, maybe they will stop acting like spoilt, ungrateful children.

tosca donna you are right. The nicer i was to this DA he became rude and disrespectful. You need to treat them like they are nothing, and never show them you care. Then you will get respect. They are nicer to you when you detach and dont care about you probably only to hook u again n manipulate you

Exactly girl

[@christinarichie6171]

A 100%.... they prey on compassionate people especially women.

[@e-cat5169]

You do realise that they don't really have a choice in the attachment style they ended up with, right? No one should be an asshole but I'm an anxious and that's like someone saying "maybe she should just stop being so paranoid"......No. doesn't work like that. We don't have to chase but we certainly don't have to tell them they should just "get over it". I've certainly never been abused as a child and I can tell you that if I had been, I can't even imagine how I would be right now.
