I was just reading this article about how to tell if your partner is a "withdrawer" which is someone who withdraws now and then in a relationship and keeps you on edge, and isn't there emotionally sometimes. I know I am very guilty of this, but I think we all do this to some degree, even in the best of relationships, it's our way of getting down time, what do you all think?

Yeah, I unfortunately have a nasty tendancy to snap off my emotions like a lightswitch when things head south. Nothing I can do about it though.

Yep I do it, if the person I am with is getting on my nerves, I just ignore him and they wonder what's wrong with me.

Everybody needs down time, alone time, but to me, withdrawing is a sign of a bigger problem.

I was referring more to withdrawing in a relationship. If one is withdrawing, for more than just some down time, alone time, there is a problem.

Everybody needs down time, alone time, but to me, withdrawing is a sign of a bigger problem. This is absolutely true. I am one of those people who needs more alone time, but I also communicate to this to my partner. I let them know that I just need some time alone, I don't just cut them off without an explanation. |

I would rather shut off myself rather than be forced into a reaction. If I react without thought it is destructive! I don't let people push my buttons unless they are really REALLY pushing and then they reap the reward for their efforts.
Violence is not an answer but it is a solution! |

The best thing to do when you need down time is tell you partner! If not your partner starts inventing bad situations!

Near as I can tell everyone withdraws sometime for some reason. It is just part of human nature. It may or may be a problem depending upon how much of goes on and how it affects your partner.

Everyone withdrawls at some point in the relationship especially if it is a long lasting one over years and years. Things happen in each others jobs and personal situations that make us withdrawl emotionally. We have to be able to keep the lines of communication open though so the other one can come to us and say what is wrong or do you need some down time. I know for myself I need time away from family for just a little while. It can be overwhelming.
