EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE PARTNERS

Thinking about this is usually annoying. Before they start a relationship, you know those partners have placed their smelly cards of emotional unavailability on the table. It is almost as if they enjoy this part of them.

The bad thing about this is that they always starve you of emotions while sapping you of all the emotions you have to give. They always make the relationship all about them and make it so hard for their partners to even demand better or fair treatment from them. You might wonder, how does one recognize these leeches in human form? It isn’t so hard to recognize them.

How to recognize them.

They are professional ghosters.
Those partners are neither here nor there. Today they treat you like you mean the world to them and the next moment, you can barely figure out where they disappeared to.

Emotionally unavailable partners have a hard time receiving love and other deep emotions from others. Emotionally unavailable partners won’t seem engaged during these chats, even when you want their ear the most. This serves as a barrier to close connection.

Moreover, it’s important to remember that it’s not up to you to change this person’s ways for the sake of your mental health.

A one-sided relationship with someone who can’t support or love you in the way you deserve is really exhausting. Not to mention gaslighting.

There's hope for you if you ever notice your partner behaves this way. One thing to do is to open the doors of the relationship and flee. If your partner shows no signs of changing their habits, think of moving on as an act of self-care. I know it sucks to give up on someone you want or like, but it will be a lot less painful if you part ways early.

On the other hand, if you believe that your partner is struggling with being responsive or opening up to your emotions, they may just need help to learn how to tolerate and understand feelings. There’s always room to ask them questions that will help give you clarity on their hesitations, or learn what affection means to them.

Just always remember to be gentle and patient, and try not to get all heated up.
