However, if it is bearable, you should try to understand them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to their attachment style, they have perceived that no one will be there for them.

Give them some space<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A love-avoidant partner is already trying to stay away from people and emotions, and there is no point in chasing them continuously. Give them room to think clearly and sort things in their head first.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when you are physically around them, they can feel uncomfortable, and it is best to leave them alone sometimes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a video that explains how giving space to your partner is important.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/maX4JY1yb6I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Be open about your needs and wants<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting some boundaries and clarifying what you need from them is important. Tell them what you want calmly and include clear specifics. For example, if you want to discuss something with them, tell them what it is about and when you want to discuss it so that they can prepare themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, if they have been distant, tell them that you would like a text message or a call at least once a day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Show them they can depend on you<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are looking for ways to love someone with avoidant personality disorder, the first thing you should do is build trust. Love-avoidant partners have trust issues and constantly feel that others will let them down.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to understand that they might have dealt with many disappointments in their past and might take some time to trust you. Start with small things; just show up for the dates on time, do their dry cleaning, remember if they have told you something specific, and do things you promised.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this will lead them to see that you are putting in an effort, and they will start trusting you for bigger things.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Couple therapy would be a good option<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to a therapist, learn about love-avoidant attachment style, and how to cope with it.

Is it possible that you or someone in your past has turned your partner into a love avoidant? Were they in other healthy relationships only to become love avoidant after a breakup?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they act normally for years, only to change after an incident?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love avoidant behavior is sometimes a narcissistic trait, but it can also be a defense mechanism. It is also the actions of someone who does not want to be hurt again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning about their past is a good way of differentiating the two. Most narcissists grow up with condescending personalities, while some turn into love avoidants after an emotionally traumatic event.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose you can identify an incident, such as infidelity, domestic abuse, or childhood trauma, that turned your partner into a love avoidant. In that case, there&rsquo;s a good chance that they are only acting out a defense mechanism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&rsquo;s recommended to go through couples therapy to fix the issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can dig through their past and they are willing to move forward with your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/resolve-conflict-in-marriage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relationship to fix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it, then there&rsquo;s a good chance the person cares about you and your relationship. On the other hand, if you can&rsquo;t figure out why they are emotionally distant from the get-go and unwilling to discuss the matter further, coupled with other narcissistic flags, then walk away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an intimate relationship with someone suffering from a love-avoidant behavior is like shooting yourself in the foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are entering a world of disappointment and pain. Unless you also suffer from a masochistic disorder such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/love\/love-addiction-cycle\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love addiction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you are in for an emotional rollercoaster ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of a love avoidant show that they are either predators, prey, or both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of psychopaths were victimized by someone in their past.
