For people with avoidant attachment, what type of partner makes a relationship feel safe and sustainable for you?

I’m particularly curious about the role of emotional honesty and vulnerability. Could you genuinely build a deep relationship with someone who is also avoidant and therefore doesn’t naturally push for emotional openness, vulnerability or difficult conversations?

Or does a relationship between two avoidants eventually become emotionally distant because neither person is willing to be fully vulnerable or ask the other to be?

Do you think avoidants actually need a secure partner to create emotional depth, or can two avoidants develop that kind of intimacy with each other?
