What's it like being in a relationship with someone with avoidant attachment?

I have a relationship of over 20 years, I have secure attachment style and he an avoidant. The first years it was wonderful because it looks like he was doing everything to make me happy and never talking about what bothered him (all tose years). Recent years were tough for me (I had a traumatic life changing event). I had asked him to go to therapy and he has opened to talk about his past trauma (neglect and abandonment as a child). His therapist tells him he’s ok. It is very frustrating to me to not been able to communicate my needs. In the past I held my own but as I needed emotional support, he doesn’t know how and tells me to go to a therapist.

Meet Matt, a volunteer editor from Canada who has been active in the wikiHow community for over 13 years!

Why do they contribute to wikiHow? "I've been fascinated by the collaborative power of wikis since 2007. There's something amazing about working with people from all over the world, people with different backgrounds and life experiences. On wikiHow, we come together to achieve one common goal: to educate. Throughout my time on here, I've gained trust, respect, and even genuine real-world friendships. I never would have thought that making an account on a website and being a part of an online community would be such a rewarding experience that's impacted my life on so many levels. So after 11 years as a wikiHowian, you think I'm going to stop here? Not a chance."

Their advice to new editors: "Stick with it. We all know it can be hard to know what to do when you're first starting out. If you think wikiHow is like Wikipedia... it's not. Over there, you might get overwhelmed by complicated guidelines and butt heads with other people because your edit went against their policies. But over here, we have one of the friendliest communities anywhere on the internet, and we try our best to create a supportive, open environment where it's easy to get involved. So don't be afraid to make an edit and ask for help when you need to. As long as you're open to learning how things work around here, I can guarantee you'll have the same positive and impactful experience I've had."
