The Avoidant Partner with the Power to Drive You Mad
- But then a cycle begins. Just after a certain amount of niceness has been established, something occurs. It may be quite an obvious and large thing, but for true madness to be generated, it's more likely to be a pretty small thing, so small you wonder if you might be making it all up. The partner acts in a rather distracted and grumpy way. You're in a beautiful spot near a river, but they're not looking. They might be using their phone a lot. When asked what's wrong, they repeatedly and unconvincingly say nothing. Or another time, you come home looking forward to seeing them, but you sense not for the first time an odd disengagement. They say they're feeling a bit weird, they seem elsewhere. You try to be sensitive around them and leave them to it, but a peculiar atmosphere descends that you can't quite make sense of. They keep messaging people.

- Once more, they're disengaged or aggressive. On and on it can go. There might be years of this. What on earth is at play? We need to recognise an awkward and very peculiar fact of psychology. There are people who very much want love, until the moment it's actually offered to them. Psychotherapists call these people avoidant. We might just call them tricky or maddening. Something in their pasts means that the realisation of their wishes is more terrifying than delightful and they will therefore take careful steps, unconsciously, to re-establish distance whenever too much proximity is established. Without understanding what they're doing and therefore without admitting to their behaviour or allowing that you may have a point when you hold up a mirror to it, they'll go cold or look elsewhere as soon as they feel that a partner is entirely committed to them. They cannot stand too much niceness or proximity.
