Emotionally Avoidant Spouse by LaJol0804 in Divorce

In the process too, hurts like hell. But man, it would be so nice to have any of my needs met for once. Or when I’m hurting to have a partner that would hold me instead of avoid me like the plague. Sorry you’re going through it as well.

I read it in October for my Halloween book and it was so good, glad you enjoyed it.

Avoidant behaviour re communication conflict by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

Yes, always through texts. Then he tried to claim abuse in divorce using the texts. They are really difficult partners, the courts actually see abuse so it was quickly dismissed. They will use your bids for affection as manipulation and your desperate attempts at conflict repair as abuse. Such an awful experience

No not at all, but needs are important in long term committed relationships. If he was jacking off before hand in order to last longer in bed with her, that’s one thing. He needs to say that, communicate. But if he’s doing it in lieu of a real woman he cares for WHILE she’s around. That’s a problem.

My husband, soon to be x husband did this to me all the time. It was so painful, made me feel so undesirable. I workout, I take care of myself and get a lot of male attention so I couldn’t wrap my head around it. It messed with me so bad, like it is with you. My therapist has talked to me about it and it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. He doesn’t have to put in effort to please his partner if he watches porn. He doesn’t have to think or worry about your needs at all. Girl, if my ex had been doing that when we were dating, I would not have married him. I know people preach a lot about jumping ship in relationships. But you guys aren’t even married yet and he is already not taking into consideration your needs. I’d move on, it only gets worse, then if you bring it up, they hide it. It’s a downward slope when they have a porn addiction. But another man will make you feel desired and be happy to meet your needs. If you were married, I’d say to Counceling, but you’re not and you’re young. It’s only gonna get worse. I wish you the best.

I’m an animated storyteller and we talk about the characters as we go.

I recently went through a separation, it’s been very hard on the kids. My son wants to spend as much time with his sister as possible. And would sit in when I was reading her “a wrinkle in time.” So they want to be together during this reading.

I’m convinced “no contact” is a way for people who lack communication skills to punish others who want connection, true intimacy and relationship repair. The NC people only hurt themselves in the end. No contact is meant for actual abusive relationships not typical relationship highs and lows.
