Yep, I am an FA who leaned avoidant pretty much my entire marriage. Despite the fact on a friend level he was my best friend and we got on in so many ways, values, and interests. I Would just go numb, want my own space. My own life. Feel smothered and controlled (to be fair, he was fairly controlling). We both thought I was the problem in the relationship and that he was normal and fine.
We are still friends and talk from time to time but now that I have spent years in therapy and working on myself I can see all the missing pieces in our relationship, from both sides. How we were both emotionally unavailable and so it was functional dysfunction.

First, thank you all for your thoughts. I will try to answer individually during the weekend. At the same time I think I need to give some additional information to explain my situation better. Not that the additional info might make the situation any better, though. I also will try to reframe my question since I am interested to get the perspective of avoidant attached individuals concerning the withdrawal of my partner. No further input here, this is shenanigans from any attachment view. Good luck!
