The Walled-Off Avoidant Partner
Pulls back when you get close. Shows no weakness. Someone who stands alone
Your partner is the "Walled-Off Avoidant Partner," low in abandonment anxiety and keeping intimacy at arm's length.
Flat replies, silence after fights, non-negotiable alone time, future talk deflected. Even when you cry, they freeze. You've probably wondered "Do they actually love me?" more than once. But what's happening inside them isn't indifference. It's the tension of not knowing what to do when someone gets close. Up next: what this partner really feels, why your chasing makes the wall thicker, and the art of not chasing.
