I could never get back with my ex:

Not because he lied and didn’t the tell truth about a few things.

Not because his avoidant attachment style and his fear of conflict and intimacy led him to deceive me and blindside me with a breakup.

Not because he was a terrible communicator and his lack of communication skills left me constantly wondering and waiting.

Not because I did not love his friends or develop strong connections with anyone in his life.

Not because his family felt stifling and I sometimes simply endured their company.

Not because he was too quiet and stonewalled me in every argument.

Not because he would rather watch a series than talk about anything vaguely emotional.

Not because he was a closed book, inaccessible and impossible to reach.

Not because he worked obsessively hard and gave me scraps of his time and attention.

Not because he rarely suggested a date, outing or event to attend together and all the planning of fun activities and weekends away was left with me.
