✅ Why dismissive avoidants rely heavily on intellectual connection, neglecting emotional and romantic pillars

✅ How comfort, routine, and security become their version of “commitment”

✅ Why lack of communication about needs leads to walls and eventual disengagement

✅ What the Gottman Institute reveals about emotional disengagement as the #1 predictor of divorce

✅ How oxytocin and shared vulnerability moments rebuild bonding
