On avoidant people.

Was your dumper an avoidant person? Have their actions not aligned with how they say they feel? Mine, together we were so clearly “more than friends, less than lovers”, but clearly into each other. The moment we get really close, however, they distance themselves. And deny even having feelings for you at all, after having previously acknowledged their feelings for you. Has this happened to you? What are your thoughts on this behavior? Why do you think it happens? And what was it like for you if it did happen to you?
