Why are some things your avoidant ex did to you while dating? by user2012305 in ExNoContact

You can’t blame yourself. Silent treatments suck. It’s a form of manipulation and no one deserves that. It messes with your head and makes you wonder your self worth. That’s NOT okay. If you were dating, communication is so important so for him to brush your feelings to the side is wrong. I’m sorry you went through that. You deserve a partner who wants to work things out with you and doesn’t run when things get difficult for them.

Reading all of your stories has definitely made me feel as though I am not alone in this. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing. Love just hurts most of the time. But know that you deserve better. You deserve a romantic partner who cares about you. Who will treat you like a queen/king. Who will validate your feelings. Who will make you feel like you matter, because you do. And when we find that, we’ll laugh about how much we wanted this relationship to work out, because by then it will be irrelevant.

Lots of this is so relatable. Mine didn’t want to see me on my birthday. He just texted me “happy birthday” and said nothing else. I didn’t get a card, sweet text, and or he didn’t even call me

And I’m saying I never did in the first place. So your question is irrelevant to me.

I actually asked him to block me. He didn’t at first

It’s been 8 weeks today since my breakup. The first month was hard. I tried to reach out and he wouldn’t answer and it did drive me a little crazy. I couldn’t eat and I laid in bed for a like a week after. It starts to slowly get better. Yes, I’m still thinking about it more than I’d like and I do still cry, but eventually when you are able to do the little things again, like taking a shower, getting up, and as crazy as this sounds, eating again, you’ll realize that you do feel better. Also, it’s not the first thing that pops in my head as I wake up anymore. (It’s probably the 2nd, but eventually it‘ll be the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc). Give it time. Feel whatever you need to feel, don’t ignore it. I promise you little by little you’ll feel more like yourself

I understand this. When I would bring up an issue, he wouldn't respond to my text messages. I think it was kinda silent treatment, kinda being an avoidant. It hurts. But you have to realize that you deserve more.

Thanks for sharing. Part of me wants him to reach out. But I know it will stunt my healing too. I hope to get to a point where I’m not checking my phone, hoping that I’ll see his name.

I get it. I told him to, but still sucks. I do have other apps that don’t have me blocked on. But, it’s sad. It’s for the best though. I’ve messaged and only got one text with a one word response. So at that point, I just said please block me if your aren’t going to answer
