Married To A Boarding School Survivor - Why Does He Always Push Me Away?

 Wishing you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Here's to a year of healing and moving into wholeness. Today I was asked some questions by someone who was going out with an ex-boarder. She tells me: "My ex partner is a boarding school survivor. We recently split up and I really miss him. I feel like he loves me, but pushes me away. I am wondering if I should just give him space? 1. He pushes me away so much, so the point where he has blocked my number. Then, once I find a way to talk to him again, he acts like he really loves me. 2. Is there a way I can get him to open up and talk to me? 3. How can I express my needs to him without him getting frustrated and giving up?" Today I offer some reflections drawing on the work of attachment theory and the work of John Bowlby, CG Jung and Dr Diane Poole Heller. Warm regards, Piers #boardingschoolsurvivor #attachmenttheory #relationships ---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
