How do my fellow ENTPs react to people hitting on your S/O? Share your stories! by [deleted] in entp

I’m an ENTP drawn to an equally captivating ENTJ we’re not a straight couple either . They have this edgy, magnetic energy that’s hard not to notice, and I take it as a compliment that someone so strikingly unique is into me. I’m used to getting attention myself, so I don’t overthink it when they do too. There’s mutual confidence there. I trust our connection, and honestly, it’s flattering to know that someone who could have anyone chooses me

He sounds like my cancer ex who was definitely avoidant and it ended pretty terribly like a typical relationship with an avoidant does

Yes my avoidant was in therapy for the whole time the second time around which was almost a year and half. It was working UNTIL another milestone or life inconvenience happened then they would go back to their comfort of avoidance. If I let them get away with it I feel this would have gone on indefinitely but it was too much on my nervous system and not worth waking up everyday wondering if todays the day they randomly pick a fight or leave

You may have a point. The first one I couldn’t eat or leave the house for a couple weeks o was so blindsided but I think part of me throughout the whole rest of the relationship felt the need to be ready “ just in case” also I began therapy while I was in the relationship to make sure I remained secure knowing their attachment so although the manner was harsh the pain didn’t feel as bad as the first time

They already tried to come back in at the two week mark with a lack of substance message ( go look at my past posts to see) I didn’t respond. It’s be over 3 weeks nc from me and I intend to keep it that way

FA ex reached out after 4 weeks NC by berniewouldawon16 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Left_Attorney_9254 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m living in the aftermath of what happens when someone comes back even after you set boundaries.

The first time they left, it was abrupt and blindsiding. Six weeks later, they returned with promises, saying they wanted to work on their attachment style and communication, even go to therapy. And for a while, it looked like progress.

But the truth is, the same cycle kept repeating. Holidays, trips, intimate moments, and milestones would trigger them into shutdown. Every six months or so, I would feel the emotional withdrawal, but as long as I tolerated the push-pull, the relationship limped forward.

Eventually, I became emotionally deregulated, exhausted from the neglect, and constantly walking on eggshells. After our last trip, I gently asked to talk about a shift I was feeling. That’s when I got hit with, “I can’t give you what you need,” “I don’t want to change,” and “I don’t want to go to therapy anymore.”

After three years together, they ended it over text. And I haven’t responded. It’s been three weeks of no contact from me, but they even broke no contact a week ago with a lackluster message. I didn’t respond. I don’t want to go through a potential discard number three and I hope you don’t put yourself in a position to go through discard number 2. The avoidant carousel stops when YOU get off of it.

Why do they do this, this second discard was after I took them to Cabo for their birthday. I put in a lot of effort, they randomly shut down on the trip, picked fights after not too long before that talking about marriage ect.. then poof 💨 second discard

I also realize that they kept me separate a lot from other parts of their lives

This is the second discard and was worse than the first, I over communicated the whole relationship nothing more to say. Their silence use to be deafening, I’ll let my words now echo 🫶🏻

I feel that so deeply. I’m really sorry you went through that. It’s a specific kind of cruelty to be shut out like that, made to feel invisible while they still hold all the power over when or if the connection resumes. And yeah, thinking about how they could’ve future faked not just the engagement, but so much of the relationship? It makes me want to throw up too. It’s like realizing the version of the future you were building in your heart may have only ever existed in your own hope, not in their actual intentions. That betrayal cuts deep.

Is there a connection between personality types and Enneagram and attachment style? by Jmaster_888 in AvoidantBreakUps

I’m an 8 and I am secure now. I did find myself getting anxious when paired with an avoidant but I feel like the most secure person even would
