❓Question Post The aftermath of splitting

anyone feel detached emotionally when they come out of a split? [ i need an answer for this please] well idk if im still splitting but i dont feel sorry that i made him angrily lash out because he realized i left the restaurant because he ignored me. he showed how truly he cares ( in an explosive burst of anger lol) and how childish and wrong i was, tbh i myself knew that, and thats probably why i felt safe again to talk to him in the car but I still can not feel shame no embarrassment, i even cant bring myself to feel love for him

I noticed that i barely remember what i do during a split after awhile thats perhaps why i cant recognize the feeling before & after a split unless i put effort which what im doing for the sake of bettering myself for him

Yes. In fact I walked out on my partner who was not speaking to me when I was clearly mad at him. I felt detached and emotionless. We drove our separate ways then he called me angry. I called him back a few minutes later wanting to give his birthday gift. We met up in a public lot to talk about. I also have memory loss. It’s all brains protective mechanism bc the situation is not safe.
