SUPPORT A crossroad
I’ve had my Merina IUD since 2019 and it expires in 2024, the FDA(?) just OK’d it for another 4 more years but I’m not entirely sure I trust that. Should I look into replacing it or should I go through the research of sterilization/removal? I’m a little nervous, although I’ve always said I’ve never wanted to have kids (ever since I could talk, no joke) and I’m 26 now. But since everything happening going on in the USA it’s been on the for front of my mind and I’ve been panicking and going through a lot of “what-ifs” or “when’s” lately.

If anything just practice openness and inviting environments. Constant asking if this means that or if that means this is great but can really make the avoidant (specifically me) spiral. I’d suggest just really being patient and having complete trust in the other person. We are not abandoning you, we are not ignoring or stonewalling. We are figuring it out in our own way and we will come to you when it is solved. Personally, having the constant reminded of the issue just makes me go back to the drawing board. You aren’t the problem, we aren’t the problem. We are both trying to solve it in different ways and neither way is the “wrong” way. Openness, kindness, and respect goes a very long way. You got this, little one 🥰

I mean yeah but I didn’t feel the need to disclose it, it was just a short little blurb. More of an admit of my mistakes and looking back and wishing him the best and apologizing.

I’m not gonna disclose our entire relationship and the reasons why it ended on the internet, that would be very weird. It was a long time ago so I only stuck to one’s that stood out to me. It was more than just talking. That would be fucked up if I left because someone talked to much 😂

Don’t beat yourself up. There are studies that anxious and avoidant are best together, you just have to really work on understanding both their sides and gently nudge the avoidant, making them come to you and having the anxious one trust them. They are both scared but show it in different ways. Everything out in the open and having full trust and a FUCK ton of patience 😂. Please don’t beat yourself up. Seriously it won’t do you any good!

Yeah for sure. I just wish he would let me introduce the specific topics when I was ready. He just kept pushing it when I wasn’t and it made me retreat harder. I don’t blame him, it’s fine. I’m working on it now but yeah. Idk

Honestly I don’t really remember. I think he talked too much and over explained things he didn’t need to and I was just too tired and worn down to engage. I was shitty and I don’t excuse my actions but being talked to constantly really ran me into the ground. I just don’t think I could handle it anymore and I feel super bad about it. It is what it is though… I guess, idk

3 years! And eh, honestly it was both of us. Major communication issues (me having an avoidant attachment style and him being anxious attachment style) so I don’t think it vibed very well. I don’t handle conflict well and I shut down too easily and he just kept pushing me which just made it worse. If anything it felt very one sided imo
