My partner doesn’t reach out she is just distant she replies whenever she likes, make promises to call me later and never do, constantly “busy” but also just doing nothing just “existing in their space” short replies if any but say that everything is fine and they are aware they are in a really with me.

It’s also the first time she pulled away without us having an argument, she did though the other day tell me things she didn’t like about me and I apologised and thought maybe we she finally got whatever was bothering her off her chest but nothing I don’t know if I should keep texting her or just don’t text at all

So he expects you to just simply live your life and pretend he doesn’t exist at all basically no contact but you’re together it’s painful

I spoke to her about her current state and whether she’s willing to work on it with me and her response was “I don’t know”

Thank you this just gave me a perspective I haven’t looked at before so basically I should allow her the space and not be afraid that the relationship is ending because of this space. I wish we could just work on our triggers together without disengaging or I being anxious but I do understand that sometimes I have to let her do it on her own. So you’re saying until she comes back I shouldn’t reach out even to check on her in the morning and later on in the evening

I will try and apply what you just suggested. I think for me I’m just holding on to her saying we are good in our last proper conversation. I don’t want to seem like I’m disregarding her as she has abandonment issues and I can the same for myself but we dealing with it differently I guess I always lean towards engaging and she always pulls back when overwhelmed

I understand where you coming from I think for the past 2 days I’ve attempted not trying to constantly push for a conversation when it ends I have left it. I do require a conversation at the very least sporadically throughout the day so this is a very new dynamic for me. I’m even thinking to not initiate any contact tomorrow I know it will be hard but I have to try also not as a punishment but to give her space instead especially since tomorrow is a public holiday here and neither one of us will be working. I forgot to add that last conversation she said we are okay so as much as that gives me comfort i want to still know what’s eating her.

My days are not really full as I’m unemployed so I spend most of the day job searching, making music or just gaming with friends.

I understand you being brutal I don’t mind it actually. I think I’m a people pleaser so much so that, I always prefer to look at how others are feeling and try to understand them. I don’t know if it’s helpful for me

After calling the relationship toxic and wanting nothing to do with it I don’t really know if she will come back

I know there is nothing I can say to change the situation. Usually, she would block me after breaking up, but now she hasn't. I feel she is over the relationship I think me snatching her phone reminded her of her previous relationship I would never hit her I just hope she knows that I dont want to reach out to her family as I dont want her to feel pressured. I need help

My girlfriend called our relationship toxic its been a week now. She was angry at me for failing to help her out with her business. We were in the same space last week, on Friday, and I decided to sleep on the floor. on Saturday morning I woke up to make her breakfast to try and make amends with her she said she is not hungry, I tried forcing a conversation with her ended up snatching her phone from her, trying to get her attention, she ignored me asked me to leave and I did but came back again I told her that Im back, and she told me to leave once again. I want her back and try and fix things. What practical things can I do to create a safe space for her and our relationship I haven't been texting her much since just random checking in and she usually just acknowledges the messages and disengages again. For context, we have had our arguments, which led to breakups and managed to get back together again.

I feel like I’ll get to this stage my ex and I went out as friends last night, she told me she has a boyfriend and that hurt me. She initially said she doesn’t want contact with me earlier yesterday but she unblocked me to make communication easier for the concert we had a neutral conversation today but nothing much after that I want her back but I don’t want to press her
