How to Tell Him About Your Attachment Style
Sharing your attachment style can either deepen the relationship or weaponize it. The script below keeps it the first one — context for understanding, not a permission slip.
When to use this
- You've recognized your pattern (anxious / avoidant / disorganized) and want him to know.
- You're tired of explaining the same reaction without context.
- You want to invite him into the work, not hand him a manual.
- You're early enough that this conversation is shaping the relationship, not patching it.
What not to do
- Don't use it as a get-out-of-accountability card.
- Don't ask him to identify *his* style by accusation.
- Don't use clinical language as a substitute for naming the actual feeling.
- Don't expect one conversation to fix the loop.

Common questions
Should I bring up his style too?
Only if invited. Naming yours is invitation; naming his unprompted is diagnosis.
What if he doesn't 'believe in attachment theory'?
Then describe the *behaviors*, not the framework. 'I get scared when I don't hear from you' lands without theory.
Does naming it actually change anything?
Naming alone doesn't. Naming + practicing the new move + repair does — over months, not days.
