Why Your Avoidant Wife/gf Is Stonewalling You.. #stonewalling #relationship #datingtips #dating

Men, ever feel like you’re talking to a wall? Share your experiences in the comments below.

Does this sound familiar? You’re in a long-term relationship, and things hit a bump. Out of nowhere, your partner becomes distant. She doesn’t want to talk, avoids eye contact, and shuts down emotionally. It’s like you’re talking to a wall. You try to bring her back in—ask questions, push for connection—but nothing works. In fact, the more you try, the further she seems to drift.

This is what happens when someone with avoidant tendencies feels emotionally overwhelmed. She’s not doing this to punish you—she’s trying to protect herself in the only way she knows how: by shutting down.

And as hard as it is to admit, chasing after her in that moment only makes things worse. You may feel confused, rejected, even powerless—but flipping the script might help you see what’s really going on.

Instead of reacting with frustration, try something different. Speak with calmness. Approach the situation with empathy. Be firm about your needs, but clear and respectful in how you communicate them. Let her know where you stand, without trying to control her emotions.
