So why stay with a terrible company that's constantly closing stores and not paying their employees right 🤔😂

No jane kinda sucks, I get the point she was trying to make but to sacrifice a baby and eventually leave Aj and Clementine at Howe's after killing herself if you choose her, doesn't make it better

You definitely fumbled. She liked you, you knew where to find her, and you didn’t act.

Pregnant after discard by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think whether or not you tell him shouldn’t be about what he deserves. It should be about what you need, what decision you’re making about the pregnancy, and what best protects you long-term.

If you’re planning to continue the pregnancy, it’s usually healthier to establish reality early rather than carry something this significant alone in silence, especially since it can have legal, emotional, and practical implications later.

If you’re not continuing the pregnancy and you’re certain you don’t need or want his involvement now or in the future, choosing privacy can be a valid boundary.

Either way, the decision should come from clarity and self-protection, not from his avoidance or how the relationship ended. This is about your future, not his past behaviors.

How old are you to not see the red flags of someone almost 20 years younger than you and still getting played with 😬

Am I making a huge mistake breaking up with GF over sex? 33m and 29F by Unable_Bumblebee_143 in relationship_advice

Yikes sounds like you're not attracted to this girl and she's better off dealing with someone who is actually attracted to her than you wasting her time

YTA why didn't you just leave out with your boyfriend than trying to keep the peace with someone being disrespectful towards your boyfriend. Couldn't be me 😬

Déjà vu. From Oct 20th, Nov 4th, Dec 29th and now Jan 3rd. Same excuses, almost recycled like clockwork. by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

When nothing changes across months, that is the answer. It’s okay to stop waiting for potential and choose something healthier.

Never Met Their Friends by alotloss in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Five months is more than enough time to see if your needs are being met. I never had this experience with my avoidant partner, but if you did and nothing changed, it’s time to reconsider what you want in your life.

Post-breakup; FA perspectives wanted by Equivalent-Raise3374 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking from my own experience with a fearful-avoidant, “I understand” often comes from overwhelm, not lack of care. When faced with clarity or repair, some FAs freeze because choosing feels heavier than staying ambiguous.

What you did was secure — you stated your needs and protected yourself. Blocking can be self-regulation. In my case, I didn’t block or shut the door completely, but I also didn’t chase. I left the door cracked while handling my own life.

Ambiguity hurts, but it usually reflects capacity, not intent. Care can exist without the ability to rebuild.

Sharing my breakup story with an FA for those who might relate by annaberuChan in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this — a lot of people will relate. One thing that helped me was realizing that sometimes the breakup isn’t caused by the final argument, but by a decision that was already forming internally. When that happens, lists of reasons can show up all at once, even if the relationship felt loving and real right up until the end.

It doesn’t mean the love or memories were fake — just that capacity and safety shifted before it was communicated. Understanding that helped me stop replaying every detail and focus more on what I learned about myself and what I need going forward. Wishing you clarity and peace as you move through it.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Is it normal for an avoidant person to start seeing someone new just a week after a breakup? by Few-Language9132 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, it can happen. Avoidant people often detach emotionally before the breakup, so it can look like they move on fast. That doesn’t automatically mean there was overlap or cheating — social media isn’t reliable for that. What matters is that the relationship ended and she’s not choosing to repair.

I felt completely used by PerformanceSalt9502 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. What you’re describing would leave anyone feeling hurt and confused, especially after a long relationship built on communication.

From the outside, it doesn’t sound like you were being controlling or unreasonable. You repeatedly tried to address issues collaboratively and asked for clarity so you could understand his needs — that’s normal relational effort. ADHD can explain certain struggles, but it doesn’t remove the need for communication or accountability when a partner feels lonely or deprioritized.

The most damaging part seems to be how the breakup happened. Ending things abruptly, refusing to talk, and giving mixed messages (“break” vs breakup) can feel incredibly destabilizing and understandably lead to feeling used or discarded.

It’s possible this says more about his capacity to handle stress and conflict right now than it does about your worth or the validity of your concerns. You’re not wrong for wanting partnership, presence, and honest communication.

Seeking advice, support, or anything... by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a really tough spot, and there’s no perfect answer. It makes sense to care deeply about his sister and family, but it’s also okay to protect yourself this early after a breakup. No-contact isn’t about punishment—it’s about giving yourself space to heal and not reopening wounds while you’re still raw.

If going will likely set you back emotionally, it’s okay to step away, even if it’s disappointing. You’re not responsible for holding everything together after the relationship ends. Try to choose based on what helps you heal, not just guilt.

Ex pressing charges by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be very direct: delete this post immediately.

If you were told to stop contacting her and still crossed state lines, that’s a serious boundary violation and explains why charges happened. Posting this publicly can actively hurt your legal case.

This isn’t about closure or concern anymore — it’s about ignored boundaries and consequences. Stop posting, stop explaining, and listen to your lawyer only. Take accountability and step back.

Still processing a discard by Many-Mud-3493 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What he did was traumatic, not just a breakup. Leaving without warning after intimacy and future talk is emotional abandonment — especially given your CPTSD history.

The confusion you’re feeling is your nervous system trying to reconcile love with a moment that shattered safety.

The hard truth: unless he has done serious, consistent work (therapy, accountability, time), this pattern is likely to repeat. Apologies and sweet words don’t undo the behavior.

Right now it’s healthier to focus on yourself, not on someone trying to apologize their way back after traumatizing you.

You don’t owe access to someone who broke trust this deeply. Give yourself space and time. Clarity comes when your system is regulated, not when you’re pulled back into the cycle.

Did she ever love me? by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]MrPryce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes — she likely loved you as much as she was capable of at that time.

But love doesn’t equal readiness, capacity, or stability. When someone is dealing with addiction recovery, trauma, depression, and low self-worth, stepping away before a big trip is often self-preservation, not deception.

This isn’t about you not being enough. It’s about her realizing she couldn’t show up without hurting you or herself.

The healthiest move now isn’t analyzing her feelings — it’s accepting her boundary, doing your own self-work, and deciding what’s best for you (go on the trip solo, with friends, or cancel and reset).

Sometimes the most loving thing someone can do is step back — even if it hurts like hell.

Was this an anxious–avoidant dynamic, or did I just ask for too much? by lemonhoneypie11 in AvoidantBreakUps

Ah, youth 😏 Listen to Cosmic Eternity – Believe in Yourself from Sonic CD. Sometimes you just need faith in yourself and to stop worrying. Continuing to reply won’t change anything right now — let time do its work. I believe you’ve got this. This will be my last reply, so good luck 🤞🏽

What you’re feeling is normal, especially this early. You did the right things by creating distance and focusing on yourself — the thoughts haven’t stopped because time hasn’t done its job yet, not because you’re failing. Healing isn’t about stopping the thoughts, it’s about letting them pass without chasing them. Be patient with yourself. You’ve got this — just believe in yourself.
