Meet-Up for Those Struggling in Emotionally Unfulfilling Relationships
Hi everyone,
I’m creating a private, in-person support group for anyone who is feeling emotionally alone in their relationship — whether you’re still in it or recovering from a breakup with someone emotionally unavailable or avoidant.
This group is for people who find themselves constantly giving, constantly hoping, and constantly trying to be understood — but still feel unseen, unappreciated, or dismissed by the person they love.
I’m starting this because of my own experience. I’ve been someone who repeatedly ignored the warning signs in relationships: the emotional immaturity, the inability to communicate honestly, and the subtle (and not so subtle) ways I was made to feel small, needy, or “too much.” I believed that if I just gave more, loved harder, or held on longer, things would change. But they didn’t.
In my most recent relationship, I saw someone who was kind and attentive — but only to his friends. I thought that same care would be extended to me, but instead I ended up in a dynamic where communication only happened through alcohol or substances, and where any attempt at emotional connection was met with defensiveness or silence. I slowly lost parts of myself, isolated from my own support system, and left to carry the emotional weight of the relationship on my own.
But this group isn’t just for those who’ve left a situation like that. It’s also for those who are still in it — who feel emotionally neglected, talked over, or dismissed, but don’t know how to leave or even if they should. It’s for people who are questioning themselves, doubting their instincts, or carrying the pain quietly because no one else seems to understand.
This will be a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can talk freely, be heard, and connect with others who get it. No pressure. No advice unless it’s asked for. Just support, understanding, and a place to breathe.
As part of the group, there will also be a chance to hear from people who have been — and still are — in long-term relationships with emotionally avoidant partners. These are individuals who have found ways to cope, set boundaries, and maintain connection in relationships where love exists but communication and emotional expression have always been a challenge. Their stories offer insight, not perfection — and may help you better understand your own situation from a place of balance and realism.
This is not a group for comparing pain or cross-referencing whose relationship is worse. It’s a place for hope, honesty, and forward movement — whether that means creating healthier dynamics, choosing to stay with clarity, or beginning to heal and move on.
You’re not alone. You’re not too much. And you’re not imagining it.
Let’s meet, talk, and begin the process of reconnecting with ourselves — and each other — in a way that feels safe, grounded, and real.
