Yes. I am extremely affectionate very early on with every partner. Inappropriately so, I've realized, because it tends to activate attachment in my partner prematurely, which triggers my avoidant side and I end up hurting them. There have also been a couple times where my partner was, I suspect, also FA, and we both rushed in full steam ahead. That never ends well. Seems to be a recurring theme with the F-A attachment. That along with the fantasy of "the one", partner on pedestal, a saviour/rescuer even (my ex. F-A mentioned things recently like "I just want to be kept"), so dependent in effect. And so I suspect and F-As here may elaborate or think about. The enmeshment trauma with the caregiver/parent, has formed that dependency, they encroached on your boundaries, quashing them in effect early in whatever fashion. Codependency in the form of people pleasing (if fawn response like my ex.) to clearly satiate the abusive parent. With my acquaintance, sheer abuse, punishment, physically and emotionally if a ridiculous standard of perfection was not met, along with intermittent running down on top to this very day! The "rushing ahead" I presume is partially the "craving for connection" along with subconsciously pushing an attachment for when the "false persona" is let down. From the anxious side of the F-As attachment. My ex FA was like this. Rushed in right from the get go with some semi love bombing...super affectionate and lots of compliments daily. Affection never waned but distancing started six month in approx. looking back was a whirlwind romance at the start with him asking for commitment from Me after only seven weeks which is way too early.
