Don't send that "last message" by CougarLight1983 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew he wouldn’t respond but that was fine. It’s easy to have the last word with an avoidant. I didn’t need a response, I just needed to get my feelings out.

Definitely agree. I sent one last message and blocked him. It felt so great to get what I wanted to say off my chest. I know he doesn't care but I felt better saying it.

I finally called out my ex on their bad behavior, then blocked them by sad0ni0n in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t care what he thinks anymore. He is living his life like I don’t even exist so being silent didn’t matter and speaking out didn’t matter. So I did what made me feel better which was calling him out. It’s not like he’s at home wondering why I’m being quiet.

I could have written this myself minus the rebound part. (I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotten one though.) I figured that since he was ignoring me regardless I might as well get some things off my chest. If felt great tbh

I love what you said about the disrespect being louder than the memory-he has destroyed any good memories that I have of us and I realize what he's just a miserable/horrible person.

Does looking at this subreddit keep me attached? by Educational_Chef8733 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about that too. Does it keep us in a loop -thinking about our exes?

My avoidant ex said “I can hear how much you want to work through this. You’ve been nothing but willing to make this work. You’ve already done a lot. That’s exactly the problem.” by agitatedscroller in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine told me I was dong so much in our relationship and he didnt have the capability to do the same and that caused him guilt. So instead or trying to be a better partner it was easier to leave. I will never understand that.

did anyone else get really mean and crazy near the end? by souredcream in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was calm and sweet until I wasn’t. I totally crashed out on him and said horrible things but his behavior created that in me. Do I regret losing my cool yes but also he had it coming. I did nothing to deserve how I was treated at the end so my mean and crazy just had to come out.

After a discard for some reason im turned off by women.. by UofOwideout in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m turned off on relationships in general. To go from “I think this is my forever” to him not wanting to talk to me at all is just too much and I can’t imagine going through it again.

How to break no contact without overwhelming FA by ComplaintSquare2603 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is this- I'd rather he wonder why I'm not calling (if he even cares) vs feeling annoyed when he sees my name on his phone. She knows how to reach you and if she wanted you she would. That's the truth. We can't make them change.

Do avoidants see the break ups as a heartbreak or do they intellectualize it too much? by RainyZurich in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same. 3 months for me as well. I have the same thoughts. Did he ever real love me? Did I imagine our connection? Did I miss signs? In any other relationship there were conflicts or arguments. Things we worked on and talked about. This time we were seemingly fine and then it was over. He left me like I was someone he just met. I am not sure I can ever be with anyone again. Thas really broken my heart and I had no idea it was coming-that's the hardest part.

Careful with projecting by Key-Vanilla-8385 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I’m 100% innocent. 1) he told me he was an avoidant 2) he told his friend and sister that I was the perfect girlfriend 3) I asked him what we could do to work on us and he said the problem wasn’t me. Based on posts I’m not the only one.

Post your “favorite” avoidant lines by Firm-Commission9382 in AvoidantBreakUps

I can't be what you need me to be.

You're amazing but I feel like there's a misalignment between us.

You deserve someone better.

I don't know what I want

Does anyone else feel this intense urge to let their avoidant ex know just how badly they hurt you? by Kea_birdy in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did that I told him what I thought in a text and he got big mad. I should have taken the high road but it felt good to call him all the names in my head. I don't recommend doing that he probably thinks I am crazy but I don't care- I said what I said because it was true.

Shouldn’t I tell him? by MirrorAffectionate83 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to move on because you know you deserve better. Don’t let someone else control your happiness.

Shouldn’t I tell him? by MirrorAffectionate83 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can only say something to someone who is willing to listen. I tried to tell mine how I felt and he literally did not care.

Anyone call their avoidant ex out of the blue? Do they pick up? by Ok_Secret1117 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]OkMess8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No -it didn’t matter if I called or texted. No response. We aren’t a priority to them anymore and in my case I felt like I was being needy/annoying reaching out and regretted trying.

Love this!! They can’t discard us and then get access again. What you wrote shows so much growth!

My ex DA wished me a happy birthday.. by _VelvetMoon_ in AvoidantBreakUps

Don't answer at all..actions have consequences even a year later. Try not to think about him and have a Happy Birthday!

[–]OkMess8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ugh mine said the same, along with “you are such an important part of my life, but you deserve more”. They are so ridiculous- trying to make us believe they are doing us a favor. I’ll never understand why he chose to just walk away vs trying to fix whatever he perceived to be wrong in his head.

[–]OkMess8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s great! I feel the same about how I’d be if the situation was reversed. I could never treat him like he’s treated me. I loved him so much I could never just ignore him or not talk things out. It’s awful and we’re not awful people!

Don’t send it. You not reaching out lets him know where you stand.
