Why It’s So Hard to Get Over Your Ex (Especially the Avoidant One)
If you’re struggling to get over your ex, you’re not weak. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not imagining how brutal it feels.
They didn’t give you closure. They didn’t explain. They didn’t apologise. They didn’t let you ask questions.
They just pulled away.
One minute things felt good—maybe even great—and the next they were cold, distant, gone. Then, just to twist the knife, you see them on Instag

Avoidant Ex in Therapy (a tragicomedy)
Silence stretches. The avoidant stares at the floor.
Avoidant:
What…
what have I done?
Their voice cracks.
Therapist: You spent your whole life trying to hide from yourself.
The avoidant’s face collapses. The anger drains. The armor finally gives way.
They sob. And sob. And sob.
The therapist quietly reaches over, hands them a tissue.
Therapist: You ran from love.
You ran from truth.
You ran from pain you never learned how to hold.
The avoidant can barely breathe now.
