Conflict Over Details in Anxious-Avoidant Relationships
Anxious-avoidant dynamics often lead to conflicts over details, where the avoidant partner can appear vague or cagey, triggering anxiety in the anxious partner. The need for certainty and information from the anxious partner clashes with the avoidant partner's desire for privacy and autonomy. The anxious partner's quest for reassurance through details can escalate into accusations of concealment, while the avoidant partner values independence and may not see the necessity of providing extensive information.
