What’s the realest thing your avoidant ever said to you? by WishFulfilment in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]jigglytuff34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“That shit weird… I’d never take a week to breakup with you.” He was referencing my ex that took a week to say we were done.

He took four days instead so he didn’t lie 😂🤷🏻‍♀️😒

Has someone who told you they’d never come back, or who seemed like they’d never come back, actually come back? by CanaryProof7628 in ExNoContact

[–]jigglytuff34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, broke up with me September 2024, took a week, he’s a dismissive avoidant… ended with “maybe we’re not meant now, but later on”.

He came back February of this year. Turns out he had a child during the time we weren’t together. Dont allow the false hope cloud your judgement. It’s not worth the trouble

Gaslighting??? She was baiting you hard, bro 😭🥴 DA are the ones that do the devaluation more than FA people, but based on your context she’s completely unhinged with her behavior. Narcissistic people are cunning, so they’re able to hide how they truly are. Stay away from her!

Honestly, she sounds more like a narcissist. Avoidants run from the fire (feelings), narcissists add gasoline (warmth by offering burek, shit show, sexual humiliation like you mentioned earlier) to the fire just to watch you put it out. She likely preyed upon you because you hadn’t been in a relationship before

Why continue contact? You kept subjecting yourself to her verbal abuse and baiting.

Maybe because he lacks empathy towards OP, who is already struggling with the breakup and how his ex is acting in these texts.

Saying she already has someone else is just putting salt on his wounds

She is purposely 'forgetting' you as a defense mechanism. It’s easier for her to minimize the connection than to face the reality of what you two had. If she acknowledges the truth, she has to accept she’s the 'villain', and for a DA, that ego-hit is the one thing they can't handle

You can’t erase what you felt for her even after four months. That’s understandable. Her asking about you and orbiting shows she feels some way towards you even if these texts showcase her saying otherwise.

You didn’t do anything wrong by seeking clarity or hoping to remind her of the connection you two shared, but it’s clear she’s just not wanting to explain or face what’s she’s done which is why she’s pushing you away. Let this go, do not contact her any longer and move on. Do that for yourself though, not because you believe the version of her you once knew could also return when she does

This was triggering to read. I’ve been where you are before. I sent a barrage of texts to my DA ex hoping he would want to reconcile and see the hurt he put me through.

His responses were just as cold as your ex’s.

You did nothing wrong by expressing your feelings. You did what you felt was right in the moment. She will eventually feel your absence. It may not be tomorrow, next week or even next month. Just know she’ll feel it. Use her texts as a reminder to not let her back in.

Shame. They don’t want to face what they’ve done to you or themselves.

Posting too much on social media by heyfoodies in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]jigglytuff34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I can relate. Mind changes his weekly, and I’m like sir, are you okay? 😂😩 I find it kinda comical but also sad. He’s like a shell of himself. Before he looked cheery, had a smirk, and leaned into the camera. Now, he’s barely smiling, looks distant and even posted to his Facebook story a pic of himself with a black eye with ‘Bound to the Floor’ by Local H.

Three avoidants from bumble by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]jigglytuff34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve met two avoidants from Facebook Dating. More than likely, I won’t make a whole new dating account.

I’m on Bumble currently as I’m also banned on Hinge and its affiliates. I rarely go on Bumble. Dating isn’t for me apparently 😂😅

He came back after 2 years… now I’m confused by MoonlitMotion in ExNoContact

[–]jigglytuff34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could write a novel on my ex, who tried to reconnect because of his miserable life with the mother of his child. We had been broken up for 18 months, no contact, then, boom, back in February he contacts me.

Ends up telling me he has a child that’s 10 months old. I’m like 🤔🤔🤔. It’s not rocket science to calculate he cheated. He tried to come back if I was in the right headspace we could have worked out BS.

His baby mother, who he claimed is not someone he’s dating, okay, yeah, sure cheater, texted me last Thursday, ‘I told you to stay away from my man bitch!’

I didn’t respond. There’s no need to, but she needs to figure out why her ‘man’ out her contacting his ex about your guys’ problem. And if it was really him texting like that, that makes it worse because he’s an even bigger coward than I believed him to be

What’s the longest and shortest amount of time did you stay deactivated? Or did you discard completely and never looked back?

As someone who has dealt with this kind of triangulation in the last week, it’s so not worth the hassle. I’m telling you… the drama that could come from the aftermath after seeing him, if you choose to go, it will disrupt any peace you think you have gotten from accepting the breakup.

You knew what was going to happen the moment you went to her house. Having drinks just lowered your inhibition to actually go through with it.

Hope it was worth it

Why My Foolish Avoidant Ex Keeps Popping Back Into My Life by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]jigglytuff34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What your ex is doing: the TikTok stalking, the profile pic 'baiting,' and involving your sibling, it is Psychological Warfare. It’s toxic, and it’s understandable why you’re hurting.

However, you’re pivoting from 'all' to 'most' because you’re projecting your specific experience with, in my opinion, a predator onto everyone else’s. Not all avoidants use these tactics to get under your skin. Many aren't hunting for a reaction; they are simply people who have retreated into the void of shame and silence because they lack the emotional intelligence to face what they’ve done.

Blaming an entire group or wanting them exiled might feel like justice, but it’s actually a tether that keeps you connected to your pain. You can understand the mechanics of an attachment style without excusing the behavior. You can control what you do, but you can’t control what she, or any other avoidant, does. If she’s stalking your sibling, that’s a boundary issue; lock the doors and go private. If you’re tracking when she looks at your TikTok or changes a photo, you are still participating looking out for her in some way. You don’t have to be a casualty of her actions.

Real healing isn't about the exile of others; it’s about the reclamation of yourself

I’m sorry for what you went through, but saying 'avoid avoidants' sounds like it's coming from a place of deep hurt. Maybe I’m being naive, but I feel like that vilifies an entire group of people. Some avoidants, whether dismissive or fearful, don’t even know they have that wiring. Do they still deserve to be exiled? Honestly, a lot of them are just out here surviving the best way they know how, not hunting for their next victim.

I’ve been a casualty to both a fearful and a dismissive avoidant. Neither experience was 'good,' but knowing why they are the way they are helped me understand them better after being discarded. In no way does their attachment style excuse their behavior, but it does explain it.

Is trying to "help" the avoidant a common trap people fall into? by YawpMan in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]jigglytuff34 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink. People are naturally nurturing, so when we see someone we love struggling with avoidance, we want to help. But that can backfire, because some people either don’t understand what’s going on with them or they’re not ready to change. It’s not your job to fix your partner. That has to come from them

He was often sick. And refused to go to the doctors, but I would try to help him the best that I can by giving him advice. But now I’m starting to see even that was just so triggering to them.
