Matt James and Rachel Kirckonnell CHD

Did anyone listen to Rachel’s Call Her Daddy interview? Feels all too familiar-

• The power imbalance and fear of disappointing him
• The avoidance of moving in
• The talking about the future but not backing with actions
• The giving space when she’s emotional, despite her not wanting space
• His subtle gaslighting by telling her that she doesn’t apologize or take accountability (despite the fact that she clearly is very self reflective)
• Telling her just days before that she was the perfect partner
• The daddy issues

I could go on. Curious if anyone else clocked him as an avoidant. Sounds like a very familiar story. The arguing on a trip was exactly what I experienced at the end of the relationship- my ex got so annoyed with me for “being on my phone too much” booking reservations and making plans and being to “particular” about where we eat dinner. I had a near panic attack when I realized the last Airbnb I booked didn’t have AC for fear of upsetting him. It rained when I promised a beach day and I felt like it was my fault for not controlling the weather.
