Can this cause a man to have avoidant attachment style? I’m dating someone who my therapist has said has this attachment style due to losing parent at a young age. She’s not said this randomly, but based on instances I’ve told her about.
He’s extremely independent and seems fearful of any form of commitment, never been in a relationship but instead has had plenty of surface level situations lasting weeks/months. He’s 42. We are only a few months in to seeing each other but I’m very compartmentalised and his life is ran in a very strict way.
Have others experienced this? Is there truth to it?
