i finally realized, or well let myself realize after 5 months, that they just won’t change. i did everything i could. i exerted all the effort i had in my body. i lessened myself, i got angry, i tried begging, leaving, anything, but they won’t change. what avoidants want is to receive and receive and receive. whatever happened in their life messed them up so bad that they know what they’re doing is wrong, but they don’t want to stop it anymore. they’ll do anything and everything to justify themselves.
i’m finally letting him go, and im finally realizing that even if he will get better in the future, I can’t wait for him anymore.
yes, they love you. no, they won’t change.
you can do literally everything, you can be close to death, and that won’t change anything. they are so far up their own heads, nothing will reach them. avoidants are made of kerosene, and you must get away before they burn you too.
