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: They Fear Both Intimacy and Abandonment
hat’s the paradox:
they can’t stay with the person who showed them real love and emotional closeness…
but they also can’t be alone.
So they rebound. Quickly.
Not because they’ve healed — but because they choose a partner they don’t have to be real with. Someone who doesn’t require vulnerability, depth, or emotional presence. Someone who allows them to bypass the pain.

Your Avoidant Ex: Timing WAS NOT the problem!!
I hear it in close relationships all the time.

Letting Go - For Good!
Letting Go — For Good
There comes a point when you simply have to drop the whole thing.
The labels.
The analysing.
The endless “my ex was avoidant,” “a narcissist,” “covert this,” “emotionally unavailable that.”
Yes, I had an anxious attachment style.
Yes, I understand why.

Yes, I’ve watched people reject real love in favour of doormats or other avoidant partners, and yes
