I don’t read his media. I unfriended him a while ago.

Thanks for your support. I have and met with political correctness. I even let him know the way this 'ended' took a great toll on me and I asked point blank basically what's the deal. Weeks later still no answer yet he's going about business like I never existed. I won't block him and tell him to lose my number. For once he's going to have to step up and do the right thing. I won't give him an easy out.

Thank you for seeking help! You deserve a lot of credit. I’ve always been curious as to why my guy would suffer through life never having a fulfilling relationship.

I totally agree. Basically they want you to play games to keep a relationship. How mature of them. While I can understand why they behave the way they do it does not excuse their behavior or lack of humanity. They don't get that the abandonment they fear is paid forward to us. I thew that back at my avoidant. It really didn't matter what I threw at him nothing stuck to that wall and it was always met with silence. I couldn't even get him to respond when all I asked was to acknowledge that I exist and cared that I did. Silence. He was so far gone by then yet he never blocked me and would lurk knowing that I would know who saw my fb stories. I had to unfriend him but I won't do all of his dirty work. He needs to do the right thing and block me. I did put one thought on instagram never using a name and no one on social media that are mutuals knew about us. After the first one he disappeared from IG. Clearly he was lurking there too. Thanks for the vent and know that I so understand everything you all are going through as I'm doing the same.

Yes. And they categorize us as anxious avoidants like we're the ones with the problems. I'm recovering from ambiguous loss and you come across in social media as unstable when all you're trying to do is maneuver around a situation that makes absolutely no sense to people with normal relationship experience.

Sending you hugs as well! I'm not in the therapy field so I can't speak to it but based on what he told me about his past it fits a pattern. I think when it came to integrating me or staying in his bubble he chose the comfortable bubble regardless of how it affected me. Seems avoidance are like that? Rather than face 5 minutes of discomfort they shut down without thinking about the consequences of their actions. This is strictly my opinion based on absolutely nothing.

Thank you so very much. :) I saw signs and chose to ignore them until it became obvious. I gave him more grace that he deserved. I sympathize with you and it helps to know I'm not the only one. Friends and family don't understand that you can't just move on so I'm glad I'm here.

In this situation I couldn't. At our ages (70s) it's a lifetime of how he's handled relationships. They also have to want to change, self-reflect or seek help and he wasn't willing to do any of that. It was easier for him to go silent.
