Sometimes an avoidant ex will come back after some time because they've had enough distance from you to start to idealize you again.. Note, avoidant attachment is found in about 30% of the population. It's a coping mechanism.
Do Avoidants regret breaking up?
Avoidants will use many justifications (to themselves as well as others) to avoid exposing these basic truths. They have fewer break-up regrets and feel relieved at leaving their partner, but will then seek out someone the same.
Do Avoidants fall in love?
Avoidant individuals do not seek proximity and intimacy, avoid the display of emotions, and appear distant and cold. People who have this attachment style are less likely to fall in love, and they don't seem to believe in 'happily ever after'. They fear intimacy and tend to be less involved in relationships.
