Rubber Banding

When a person who generally has attachment issues pulls back from another person either after getting close to them or spending a large amount of time with them. Usually the time spent away from the person must be equal or greater to the time spent with them. The more time/the closer they get, the longer they'll pull away. Generally they will come back after being pulled away (like a rubber band) but will eventually pull back again in the future.
