Mack describes her own avoidant pattern in a 3-month relationship: a slow fade over the final weeks, a brief breakup conversation, then reaching out to reconcile after 5-6 weeks of no contact.

Key points

  • She used classic avoidant tactics during the fade: claiming busyness, slowing responses, withdrawing emotional effort completely before ending things.
  • The breakup itself was a 5-minute conversation; he accepted it calmly and left.
  • They had an exclusive-dating arrangement with no label -- her own avoidant resistance to commitment.
  • After about 5-6 weeks of no contact she reached out and he agreed to reconcile.
