Why does my avoidant ex only talk to me in games?

Author

We talk daily but only when i initiate, His replies are inconsistent everyday sometimes warm, somtimes cold. He restricted and muted me in any social media platforms. Not blocked or unfriended. We keep talking everyday about games but i really do have an urge to talk with him about emotional topics. But, yeah he's an avoidant soo i held back. I'm just wondering why did he restrict or muted me in socials but still replies when i text in game. Any thoughts about this?

has he ever tried to move the conversation beyond the game on his own, or is it always you keeping the connection alive?

there with an avoidant too. he'd answer in one place and shut every other door, and i spent SO much time trying to decode it. it kept me hopeful, but it also kept me stuck.

because conversations about games is a very low stakes conversation. everything else is too close, too intimate for them to handle

Because males aren't complicated. They can compartmentalise things.
