What happens when love addict leaves the Love avoidant?

[Anonymous]

They form a really addictive and toxic dysfuntional relationship.

When Love avoidant wants to leave, love addict would try their best to cling onto it.

What if it's the other way around?

It would never be the other way around love avoidant is what they are actively avoiding love. They're comfortable feeling not that loved or unloved and to themselves. So nothing would happen. The love addict would just leave and no one would chase you unless they decided they wanted to be loved which is probably a rarity.

When the love addict had enough of it, He/she might walk away, however even if they initiate the break up they would still feel abandoned.

They wouldn't miss you bc yes they already feel somehow abandoned. So the love addict walking out wouldn't move them to chase after them. It would just further reiterate the feelings of abandonment that everyone leaves them.

Who's they? I'm not sure which one you referring to

If the "Love addict" would be the one to 'Leave,' and the "Love avoidant" to 'Try their best to cling onto it,' it would show me that the Addict was truly this Juiciest apple way at the top of the tree who was Indeed... Hardest to Get and to Grab and Finally.. Nab. xx

if the avoidant doesn't cling but keeps helping out when love addict keeps communication lines open? None of them is talking about making up or meeting up

Thank you, sweetie, for the Vote of Confidence, this one was a toughie for even me, but by God, I believe you have it and keep that tree Growing and Flowing. xxoo

I guess not let our past to shape our future is the best way to go with this way. Just being is the best way to go

[Paris13]

Ah, yes, and You, sweetie, wrote the book on this as well.:)) xxoo

If love addict is really on the way to recovery and no longer need the avoidant, it might trigger him to chase him/her back. Or they might seek another love addict to continue the destructive cycle

It would still be dysfunctional
