3 Helpful Pieces of Advice for Dating a Dismissive Avoidant Partner
Understand attachment style and how to grow as a couple.
A breakup is a breakup for a reason.
You have heard this age-old phrase your whole life but do those “reasons” align with the truth? We often think about relationships ending from an emotional point of view without including the behavioral pieces.
When you separate the two, emotions are categorized as acute reactions, while behaviors are chronic actions. We feel like we love someone but can also fall out of love. Love is an emotion, not a behavior. The display of love is a behavior.
You often give up on relationships before exploring how behavioral actions are not changed to save a relationship.
Our behaviors develop in our childhood and, in turn, create our display and acceptance of love from others. In my article Forget about Love Languages and Dig into these 4 Attachment Styles, I dig into the behaviors at the root of our understanding of relationships.
I want to focus on the behaviors you are dealing with from your dismissive-avoidant partner, their needs, and how to communicate with them, giving you insight on how you can collectively work on your relationship.
