      I didn't know about this stuff and tried to speak to a friend about his hot cold behavior. He found it hurtful. I tried very hard not to get triggered. I didn't know about dismissive avoidant. After we spoke I saw he blocked me on whatsapp.
      Yesterday he saw my story on Instagram after 6 weeks of silence. Is there hope. I thought this was done.

    If you get a "hey", that's pretty big for a DA. Like Coach said, don't put too much hope in it, because they are really just testing the waters . . . to see if you will reply. They could be just looking for validation.

    I’m an FA & haven’t recently started thinking about reaching out to my FA ex. I feel some anxiety about doing it.
    1.) I’m afraid of rejection (least likely but still a fear).
    2.) I’m afraid that even if I were received warmly by my ex; I’m concerned that he hasn’t grown & that we will repeat the same useless cycle

      Calmly take the bull by the horns and resolve it. People tip toe around DAs in fear of triggering them. We totally forget about our own needs, fears and what caused the breakup, so you get covert bs, wash, rinse and repeat. You don't have to do it within minutes, but try to stick to a day or two. Why is it really important? You've got 4 months plus of healing under your belt and you don't want to totally undo that and have to start over. If things don't work out, please don't beat yourself up. Only a avoidant can heal themselves. You didn't break them and it ain't your job to fix them.

      ​@@rolotomassi5139 On the one hand, starting to reconnect with a feeling of fear is already a bad sign of the past. People should be happy to reconnect. It's so horrible with DAs, which until a moment that was supposed to be good, becomes this ETERNAL WALKING ON EGGSHELLS. Well, this subject should be the first to come up: either you mature and put yourself open to comunicate or any kind of relationship (even friendship) is not possible.
      How much is it worth losing your authenticity for someone who can't go through conflicts and leaves you without a second thought?

      Not true... I got a thoughtful gift right after we discussed about taking a break. But still went cold. And reached out right like Coach said, after a month, with "hey, how are you, I hope you are doing well". I got gifts before. DAs don't like you make a fuss about gifts or signs of attention, they like to see that you appreciate, but dislike if you get emotional.

    For months I used to think my avoidant ex fears and insecurities would come down and he would miss me, until I recently learned his baby mama was extremely jealous of our healthy relationship the whole time. Months after he deactivated she stilo sees me as a threat. Kinda glad I learned about the anxious avoidant trap along the way bc just by me being secure I understand that's a trauma bond they don't want to break. Baby mama's friends were relieved he deactivated because our happiness was making her unbearable. I fully accept that I will never be missed, and that's OK 😌

  • @brownsuga929
    @brownsuga929 Год назад +6

    Hey Coach! I broke up with him over a month and a half ago. I'm FA but healing so I'm actually more secure; however, that relationship revealed all the wounds and then some lol. I just turned 40, working out, keeping up my therapy. I pray he finds that one who will fit his styles, I don't do superficial. We use our words over here ✌🏽🙏🏽. Also I have a question: do you have a video on if YOU are the phantom ex? I was always the one who got away to him so when we reconnected after 15 yrs I thought it was meant. I don't see any videos on what happens when they actually do get back with that phantom ex?

      Agree with this! I also had a DA reconnect with me around 15 years and we tried to make it work. It didn’t. We’re very different people now. The “phantom ex” syndrome should probably be called the “fantasy ex” syndrome.

      @@Ahb2121 haha exactly! I was so shocked that he had been ruminating and trying to find me all these years. I literally kept dreaming about him and reached out, which is something I don't do. First thing he said was I love you, I was blown away lol. I realize many of the qualities I admired so much over the years as him being calm and collected, was really just avoidance. I wish we could've worked bc honestly I never felt a peace like that before. But that peace turned into turmoil. I wrote a long text goodbye and that was the end. He never responded. Which is fine. Sucks but I get it.

      ​​@@IamCoachCourt Video idea: please, a video on the loss of authenticity in relationships with avoidants. How and why does this happen - what is the dynamic that happens? What is the behavior that generates this type of problem, this fear of saying what is necessary by the partner? I notice that DAs don't seem to be aware of this type of problem or behavior. At the same time, it seems to me that walking on eggshells is the loss of freedom to place oneself in the relationship. It's horrible for a DA's partner. How not to fall into this problem and approach with authenticity?

    Hey Coach, remember me?
    We're two and a half years down the line now, and yes, he's started to send these texts in the last few months, and has admitted he misses me and my family.
    Not to me though, he has messaged one of my kids instead. I left my job a year ago, where he also worked, and he hasnt seen me since.
    Six months ago he started messaging my daughter out of nowhere just before she got married. He was meant to be coming to the wedding. He missed the holiday we all had planned. He messaged when my Mom passed away.
    Im in a much better place now, life is good. I've done a lot of work, healed some. Made a new life for myself.
    Just thought I'd check in and say Hi. Hope you are well.

    • @airbubble.
      @airbubble. Год назад +3

      @@adoptioncorner1984 There's always hope as long as both of you are still breathing. I think if you detach yourself from the possibility and concentrate on your own journey, healing, building a new life without them in it and so on, that helps. If they come back in, well its up to you and where you are in your process at that point to make a choice. A lot of that depends on why you broke up, whether work has been done, and as Coach says if you have a discussion. Personally, a lot of my choice would be based also on what his motivation is for coming back. Right now, I'm just doing me, and if he makes the effort to reach out directly, we'll see what happens.
      But yes, its okay to hope, as long as you dont live your life with that hope as your sole focus.
      Wanting them in your life is fine. Needing them is co-dependency ;)

"he reckons I deserve better..." I'm honestly so conflicted. I'm not sure how to navigate this. This was a big love for both of us I think.

    I have a weird one for you coach. Was with my ex for 15 years. We split up, im the dumpee. Been around 9 months now and we have 2 children also. Only contact we have is smart contact and usually via text. After a month of the split she got with her snake of a best mate who lives on the otherside of the world. Cost her 2-3k to go and see him. When she got with him id never seen her in a state of what looked like drugged to the eyeballs. Theyre obsessed with one another to the point the kids tell me all they do is spend every day all day on call.
    I know the new guy. Friend of 10yrs whos always wanted her and hates my guts. They often bad mouth me as i know from my daughter as it upsets her. Even after 9 months still bad mouths me.
    Ive done the work on myself and sadly im the reason she called it quits. Done therapy, become a better person, new job etc.
    What i want to know is what you make of all this. Shes always been an AA style. Loves physical intamcy and cuddles etc but is super happy in her ldr.
    Any thoughts on the topic? There is a lot more to it. Just a long synopsis. 😅

    Hey coach, I am friends with an avoidant girl, we've known each other for 4 years. She told me she never knew safety before me, and she's very vulnerable with me, telling me things she doesnt tell anyone. A year ago she started having romantic feelings towards me but then sabotaged "us" by getting with someone she met on holiday and pushed me away. She said she didnt feel underserving of the love I have to give her as she described it as scary.
    She recently broke up with this guy because she said she couldn't stop thinking about me and realised she made a mistake, now she wants to work on "us", and to rebuild the connection. She said her heart belongs to me and no one will ever have the hold on her that i do.
    Truth is i don't trust her, what do you think? Do avoidants lie?

    I have a question on how to proceed. WHen i noticed her getting cold i wanted to know whats going on, maybe i did something, how to fix it(probably im anxious type) and i definitelly pushed her even more away, now we rarelly speak at all, and when we do, its very clear shes not interested in talking to me. The thing is, after i pushed her by being too clingy, we had almost no contact for around 3 weeks and if we had some i was the one initiating(ofc got disapointed with the result), but after those 3 weeks she started sending me memes again, almost always every 3 days. What i do is comment on the meme, something funny, or if it reminds something we did together i comment that, and send a meme back, and every single time im just ignored for another 3 days. If we talk even a little, its because i contacter her first for some reason(i do that rarelly now like once every week, because something comes up that i think i need to contact her, for example im gonna next time gonna be international womans day im gonna congratulate her. Anyway what my should steps should be with her sending me a meme every 3 days and then imediatelly ignoring me, should i respong or should i ignore totally or waht>?

    @alexanderbarnes8991 Год назад +1

    My experience left me confused over the course of several months. Initially went well first date was physically attracted "maybe next time we have sex." then second date we messaged about sex then got "my stomach hurts." afraid of intimacy unless unemotional sex. Got worse I continued messaging, which she used for validation to cope with her loneliness. I then got a reluctant coffee appearance for her birthday, which I gave her a present asked her to be girlfriend got "You don't live in my country and I want to see someone once a week." Asked for 2 dates got "i don't know." She friend zoned me then reached out a week later, I naively thought she could be a date again got "I'll let you know." So on Christmas sent a picture of me and another girl then said "Sorry it didn't work out. What you like or don't like isn't a reflection of me. As a friend I hope you find what your looking for." "okay Merry Christmas." I don't regret one bit. Some people are emotionally incapable of being in a relationship. Sucks because I really fell for her, but I have to tell myself constantly it didn't work out for a reason.
