Just read 'attached'_ light bulb moment!

[Why123456]

Has anybody read this and related to it? I am going through seperation and the sadness and guilt of seperation has been awful. This book has helped out my thoughts into perspective.

There is no other person \ violence in my story, it just isn't right

Yes! Life-changing

Yes! Life-changing

It really is, it just makes sense doesn't it?

What is it, a book? X

Yes, it's this book: www.amazon.com/Attached-Science-Adult-Attachment-YouFind/dp/1585429139?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Unfortunately I read it a little too late in life but I am constantly encouraging other people to read it. Had I read it earlier I think my love life would have been less disappointing and I would have felt less crazy and inadequate

Assuming OP and I are referring to the same book!

Yes, that book. I hadn't heard of it until recently but so pleased to have read it, it's put so much into perspective. Made sense of my situation.

Tell me to go.... I will be suggesting this book to friends that need support \ understanding too.

I suggested it to a friend of a friend who read it and immediately dumped her boyfriend!

I think it's really good.I read it. So did my ex. We talked about it a lot. Thought we'd make it because we understood each other, but we didn't. I think the root of my issue isn't that I'm necessarily anxious by default but I don't respond well to someone avoidant but also I don't find it easy to walk away when I know I should ask for better. Low self-esteem issues.

Peppermint... I also struggle with my husband's avoidance. He doesn't acknowledge information and does have tendency to distance himself intimately and day to day, he just doesn't notice.
I have said he is physically here but emotionally not. But until I read this book, my comment didn't seem to make sense even to me. It seemed a bit jumbled

old post I know….
but I’ve just ordered this book
