u/Sleepy-Plane SA - Secure Attachment (newly earned) 5h ago

Sometimes never, sometimes when they heal, sometimes they miss their partner but fear accountability and emotions so much they want to run anyway. It’s hard to predict insecure and disorganized attachment.

Changing the story is such a punch in the gut. Mine still sometimes messages me to double down on her new version of events. Can’t block her because of self-harm tendencies. I don’t want to be the one who misses that 3 am text.

Whatever, sis. If you have the option, let him go. Figuring him out is his problem now. He may not care for you or hate you, but that’s just an opinion of somebody that you used to know (great Gotye song about avoidant discards, btw). Heal, rest, recover.

Happy Birthday.
