Thank you for putting into words how a DA feels and operates. It's incredibly validating. I unfortunately am a DA and it is so rough to start and commit to a relationship. I don't want to hurt anyone but I also have a need/desire for companionship. The only problem is I'm not able to let myself be 100% in the relationship, which sucks for the other person. Your channel has given me power in owning up to my problem areas and finding ways to be more secure and available. I'm not completely there yet but am able to recognize my patterns which I believe is the first step to healing!! Thank you a billion

I'm happy to hear you're working on yourself. FA here and I'm a work in progress too. 💗 Just to pick you brain a little, are you upfront about not wanting a relationship from the beginning? The comment you made about not wanting to hurt anyone but have a need/desire for companionship sounds exactly like my on and off again DA ex. I'm super upfront to everyone at least by the 3rd date so there are no mixed messages or hurt feelings, but my DA didn't do that. He came off as excited and open to a possible long-term relationship, expected exclusivity, yet didn't want the label after few months in and everytime I leave he comes back better and more available, but never with both feet in. We were talking about a mutual friend recently and I mentioned how this friend is casually seeing a woman who really cares about him and he's kind of ehh about her, but still keeps her around. I don't believe they have sex due to a condition he has, so it's not a sex thing. Anyway, when I said it wasn't cool that he keeps her in limbo he said "Well he's probably lonely and wants company." I was so annoyed and responded "That's not cool. She could be out there meeting someone who wants and values her and instead is sticking around doing kind things for someone who's lonely and just wants company?" Obviously I was projecting lol, but his opinion was really telling. I guess if both parties are aware there's a good possibility that it will never go anywhere then that's okay. But personally I stay single and prefer it because for one I truly like being alone and two, I never want someone to keep me around with no intentions other than good company and companionship.

I'm a DA and INTP. Can't speak for the other person but you can pick my brain. Loneliness sets in after a certain age after your creature comforts gets old. DA's are human too we all need to have human interaction. Unfortunately we're wired to be more logical then emotional. Do we want to be in a cave and left alone till we die? Some might. But I'm guessing the majority yearns for that human connection that isn't draining to them. We all want to be loved and understood. I guess the big question from a DA's point of view is what is a relationship? You might not like or understand that answer.

@@gurlycash7394 which is why communication is so important and it's very hard to communicate with my DA. I've known mine for over 20 years and he would always open up to me when we were friends but in a relationship not so much. Since we've known each other forever, I've seen him in relationships where they've lived together. He had such tumultuous relationships that the thought of a label freaks him out. We've had 3 cycles. One was in a relationship and 2 were in situationships. This past cycle he was talking about moving in together. I guess I'm very black and white. You're either together or you're not. I have no interest in being the woman a DA keeps for human interaction or companionship. We have brought our kids around each other, we're exclusive, but feels doesn't want anyone to need him for anything yet needs me a lot. It's just frustrating. It's like Thais has said, we show up to play the same game with 2 different sets of instructions. FA's don't do very well with gray areas. Now I'm in PDS working on myself. I can say for a fact that I will not enter back into this again without being on the same page. It's scary in the gray area...like living in a constant turbulent plane ride. I honestly wish I could do it because we love each other very much, but I'm breaking my own boundaries and making myself uncomfortable to ease his stress and worries over relationships and that won't work.

This is so true!! And listening to Thais all this while helped me be prepared for this slow progression without taking it personally. This has been the first time I've been in a stable relationship and the irony that it is with a DA! I distinctly remember the slow movement (took 4-5 months) from talking a little every day to 4 hours every day to talking less over the phone and being more together in person. This has been the best relationship of my life! I'd say nothing will make you want to be secure faster than being with a DA lol.

He has deactivated exactly once (I had no interest is finding out why). In that time, he still spoke to me but he'd put up a wall, was curt and pushing me away. That behavior lasted 3 days, after which, it has been business as usual. We're on the phone twice a week about an hour and spend the weekends together. Reaching here took a year. There are no tips. If they're having a good time with you, then you could be the devil and they will still stick around. So the real question is, are YOU having a good time? And what about YOU (not the DA) needs to change for that to happen? For some background, I've had professional help + done a lot of reprocessing work + this channel has been a blessing. But that was my journey to take, not the DAs.

Overall, being in a relationship with a DA feels like walking on eggshells. You can do all the learning and trying to not personalise their actions but feels like one loses their individuality. There is a lot of compromise needed. When they cancel plans last moment, because of emotional bandwidth exhaustion, it is tough to stay patient. My DA partner is a very nice person, great son, brother, friend.. all this except when he is a romantic partner

​@@sunbeam9222 Being AP or DA is considered a insecure attachment style, and it's good to work towards a secure attachment from either party. It should be a guide to help us identify our insecurities and work on them, especially in a relationship. It should not be a prescription to avoid a certain type because you are insecure in a particular way. Healthy relationships and healing relationships can occur between every combination of attachment style. If you're a DA or AP, you ought to try and work on yourself for the health of your own relationships. And it's even better to have open conversations with your partner about these things. Finding a relationship where you both take responsibility to work on yourselves for yourselves and each other is always going to be the best route towards a healthy and healing relationship.

I’ve been with my DA for over a year now. At first he really wanted to spend time together would message and call when wanting to get to know me. This slowly died down and at first I didn’t get it and took it personal but now we see each other every 2 weeks sometimes weekly and don’t message everyday. When we are together things are great. When we are apart I do sometimes feel like I need more communication but I underhand as an AP he isn’t going anywhere and value our time together when we do meet. I notice DAs lack affection touch etc. This is my only issue as it’s my love language. I’m going to see how the next stage develops but love these videos to help guide me xxx

Thais, this video is so spot on! I’m an AP with major codependent tendencies, I’ve been seeing my DA partner since a year now. On the 6th month mark.. we had this conversation about exclusivity and he told me he wanted to take things slow and build a strong friendship that turns into a relationship, it just felt right to me as I come from a history of being with partners who came off too strong in the beginning and left just as quick! I agreed to take the slow route… 6 months later, being a religious PDS student, taking therapy and watching Thais on KZbin, meditating, journaling.. I’m asking for my needs and communicating in a way that’s considerate of both my needs and his(thanks to the scripts at PDS) my DA partner wants to spend more time with me, he calls me randomly, when he’s going into his shell for a few days he messages me saying “it’s nothing personal and I’m just having a hard time”, I let him be and work on my career, body and self development meanwhile. Being with any attachment style who isn’t actively working on themselves is hard, let’s not victimize DAs. They’re just as deserving of love as the rest of us. I truly feel for my DA partner and I’m willing to make this relationship a safe place for the both of us. To anyone who’s wondering if a DA+AP/FA can work, here’s a sign! ❤

I've been making conscious efforts every day since to practise vulnerability and it's not as scary as I thought!

Here's a tip. A long distance relationship with a DA is perfect from them. Like facetime, text, ect. Nothing in person. If you decide to close that in person proximity, and become physical closer, limit it to 2 full days or 5 days but no more than 6 hours a day. It's ok to tell them you have stuff to do now and go home or they should go home and recharge. And be prepare to see them physically every other week. Actually you should plan it that way. Until..........?

I’m not sure if there are any like that specifically but maybe! Some similar ones might be: “Top 5 tips when your partner is securely attached” & “how a secure person reacts if their da partner pulls away” They’re quiet when feeling things because of their fear of vulnerability but they do feel emotions even though they try repressing them to not feel hurt. It’s more of a protective mechanism than trying to actively shut the other person out, though it can come across this way. If a DA is open to healing, they can very much do so with the work and patience. It’s a scary thing for them and usually they feel “why am I like this” so healing would feel very freeing to them I’d think. They also like things like this brought up in a logical way where they know this isn’t saying “something is wrong with you you need to fix it” but rather to make it feel like “hey there’s this cool thing I’m learning about you wanna check it out?” Best of luck :)

@@abdulmateenmaher6956 he said I love you in a text and when I went to talk about it in person he totally shut down. DAs can say it, it’s not impossible. He always became passionate about morals and doing the right thing and yet was too scared of being vulnerable. He held everything in, even told me he though he was defective and not worthy of love. Which apparently is a DA core wound.

@@chloehammond2836 Yes I agree to what you said. I told my DA I love her and she was like ..."stop saying that it scares me". I asked why and she replied that she is not a good person and loving her a mistake. I really felt bad for what she said. I told her I need to say it to her as I've been keeping it my heart for long time. She shut down after that.

@user-gt4bz2zq7f I ended it due to a lack of communication. Don't compromise yourself if you want more time with your partner. Express your needs. Communicate. If it doesn't benefit you in your current relationship, it will benefit you in a future relationship.

Well, I can say from experience it hurts lol. But usually if they seem distinctly into it during the “good patches” they probably still have those feelings during the lows but are incapable of showing it during those times. It sucks to be on the receiving end

#Intoxicated We don't have much with common except we come together fantastic the sex is. if she snaps at me is that disrespect? Makes me laugh. Always so busy and tired I just let her do her thing ya know. She works hard but I'm not sure its for me so I'm not sure how I feel about it. She gives me what I want in those moments butt says I have to spoon or I'm using her. I don't understand. Its so stressful at times and then incredible like being on a fun park. Scary and fun. Is that high risk behavior? But isnt some of life high risk? I drive the interstates and thats risky. International conferences get lonely ya know and its so temporary. I just delete the texts cause when I reread them I get depressed all over again. I miss em so much but I know its boring home life for another 6 months until the next conference. I don't think its too fast cause it takes months. Is this a good pace? What would you recommend to fix this complicated situation. Loving your insights. #Trying
