      Ok clay I'm getting whiplash, my ex is having conversations with me but then goes cold and distant with me. I've called him out on this and he's said this is because he finds it hard to talk to me like normal and it brings 'everything' back. I've asked if he needs space or for me to back off and he consistently says no, I've given him space and not reached out but within a couple of days he's reaching out or calling me just to 'chat'. This is despite him telling me it's too hard to hear my voice. I'm now at a stage where I want to talk to him but when he reaches out I don't know if he's going to be receptive with me and chat for 40 mins or be hesitant and not reply or give one word. What do I do because it's making me anxious and confused? I've left it today by saying that I know he's confused but his distance is making me anxious, I've asked him to call me when he wants to chat. Where is he at?

    1) Damage Control Mode - Angst, doubts
    2) Attachment Mode - Trying too hard
    3) The Crossroads - Be vulnerable, be open
    4) The Bridge - Communicate clearly, understanding what your ex is going thru
    5) Effortless Connection - You have meaningful conversations with your ex

    Dang I really went through all these stages. I'm confident that I'm in bridge now. I sent her one last msg letting her know what I'm feeling and I understand how she is feeling. I'm just going to give her space now and hopefully the effortless connection will come next. She tells me she wants me in her life but is being cold and distance. She just needs space now and time for me to focus on myself.

      Man! This is exactly what happened to me too. At some point we were happy and all of a sudden she broke up with me because she wanted space but at the same time she wanted but she wants us to grow both. Its really very complicated to put into words but I can really relate to the feeling that you are feeling now.

      @@ClayAndrews One question for you, Clay... You have mentioned that it's important to have gotten over your ex, or to have "moved on", before a new healthy connection can arise between the two of you. My question is should I ever say to her "Hey I just want to make sure going forward you've on from our relationship entirely. I just think it's important for starting a new more open and honest connection between the two of us going forward." Personally, I think she has moved on already, but I want to convey to her that I too have moved on by saying because I don't want her to think that I see our new bond as a means of getting back together.

    Long distance relationship for almost two years and was broken up with or taking a break before I could get there this month. I guess it's the same and it would be hard because I am close with his family. I still want him. But in three weeks I know I will be able to make progress because I don't need him. Yet I still want him. Only unless he reaches out, I shouldn't isn't it?

I’ve not spoken to her about us trying again for nearly a month but the last time I did she said I’m not coming back I need to build myself back up, does this mean she’s not coming back at the moment because she’s not ready or am I reading to much into it?

    I like your advice, but this is very contrary to what I’ve heard from other coaches.
    I’ve heard...
    That you suppose to be aloof, and make her think that you are seeing other people.
    I’ve heard that you are not suppose to be emotionally vulnerable with your girl and that you were only there to crush puss.
    This video makes me feel a little better about not being super Macho with my intimate relationships.

That is why we have to strengthen the Advanced Relational Skills that we teach inside our Ex Solution Program. :-)

    Heey, so my ex broke up with me about a week ago because I lied to him and it was a big lie. He is very stubborn and he said that he won't take me back and he doesn't believe i can change. But he forgave me for the mistakes I've made and wants me to take time for myself. Now his trust is broken, during the relationship he mentioned a couple of times that honesty is very important to him. A couple of days before the breakup he told me he really fell hard for me, that he will never find someone better and that I complete him. Now I am in the periode of No contact and I've realised what the true issues were and what i can do about it. We have planned to see eachother in about a month to discuss everything. How can I change his mind about ending the relationship?

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  5 років тому +1

      Sorry to hear about your recent breakup. I know it's never easy. But if you want to change his mind you have to show him that you are a trustworthy person. This may take some time. You can't just say something to restore someone's trust in you. Trust is something that takes time to build. So understand if things need to progress slowly. But continue to be a trustworthy person and he'll eventually start to see that you're not the person he thought he broke up with.

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  7 років тому +3

      @Kabba If these problems keep resurfacing, I think what's important is getting to the root of what's causing you to call her names. You have full control of your actions here and changing how YOU organically bring yourself to the interaction will help dramatically change your outcome. If you notice that you have the tendency to say or call women names that's upsetting to them, it seems to me the first thing you should fix is YOU and the part that fuels you how you act and behave around women. If you want to get her back, she is going to have to believe that you aren't that guy you demonstrated to her...right now, her wall of reactance is high. She won't let you in until negative emotions she has towards you dissipates. During this time, I'd focus on what YOU have power over--yourself and your behavior. I dont give out "quick tips" or "slap a bandaid on it" type of advice. I help men and women have better relationships with each other and tips and tricks like how to get her to unblock you isn't really addressing the root of the issue--which is you and your actions that creates the dynamic of your relationship with her. But yes, you still have a chance...only if you change your approach because what you've been doing is obviously not working. Cheers and best wishes to you.

    Hi clay my ex and I broke up about a month ago we've been on and off for about 3 years. Everytime we have broken up it has been due to communication issues and me having very bad jealousy issues. My cats and myself were living with him for about 6 months until we got into a heated argument and I said some regretful or "unforgivable things" (in his words) and he kicked me out. He is watching my cats until I can find my own apartment and has told me he loves my cats and I don't need to stress myself on finding a place he will care for them until I can. We have seen and been in contact with each other twice since (I initiated contact with him) so I could pick up my things from his place and visit with my cats. The last time I did this I cried and told him how I wanted for us to get back together in the future he held me while I cried and held my hands. He told me he doesn't think we can work through things but when I asked again he told me no promises I asked if we could hang out still and he told me he thinks it wouldn't be good for me to do that while trying to get better. I then tried to give him a kiss and we almost kissed then he told me he didn't want to give me the wrong idea. When leaving his house I told him that I loved him and would miss him and kissed him on the cheek, he told me he loved me and would miss me as well and told me to be a good girl. I have not tried contacting him since and plan to stick to no contact. He hasn't tried to contact me at all. What do you advise for me to do moving forward? (I've watched your videos every day since we broke up on the 25th of September they have helped me to stay level headed I thank you for uploading these)

      Hi Raina, I'm sorry to hear about the breakup and we understand that this can truly be heartbreaking for you and with your ex at the same time. If you are planning to apply No contact, be sure it is Active No Contact just like what we teach inside our course. Focus on working on the Advanced Relational Skills as that will prepare you when you decided to reconcile with your ex. I know that we can't cover everything here in my reply but we hope this would give you an idea on what to do to start off your journey. All the best.

    Hi clay trying to get me ex back . And the beginning we where really emotionally charged. She kept sending me mixed messages i wanted it back she didnt. So she sent me snapchats of her out this hurt me was only three weeks so i told her that it is better off that we have no interactions at all. So i started no contact. Man it was tough but i realised mentally i wasnt in the right place to talk so i didnt want to jeapordise ruining it by saying something when emotions were high. We recently started talking after i just told her that my emotions were too high to talk at that point. She told me to text her any time she wants and she wants to meet up over the christmas for a drink we onlu recently started talking again i dont know wheather to keep texting her sporadiclly as the conversation is heading in the right direction. But i feel like im not back to my full self yet and if i meet her i wont be in a position and she can see right through me any advice.

      If you're not ready, then don't get yourself in over your head. But also don't get caught in the trap of always preparing and never taking action.
      Stay in contact with your ex if the interactions are bringing the two of you closer together. If the connection between the two of you starts to slip, then you're doing something wrong. At that point, stop and assess what is going on.

Not because you are ready, it will go exactly the same for your ex. She will be going through phases as well. Moving on will be your personal choice as you will be taking accountability and ownership. It is not for anybody to tell you to move on. :-)

    Do you consider it as a good idea if I will write a letter to her before Christmas and explain in a touching way everything I learned from the break up and show how much better I am for her now? Or will it scare her away even more??

    I talked to my ex for a while last night she is with someone else and can only talk to me when he's not there. I told her I can't do this anymore and that I need to see her so I can talk to her and give her her stuff back and that after that I'm not going to talk to her anymore. she started crying. I'm confused. I wasn't trying to be a dick. I'm doing this for me so I can move on. what the hell is going on with the crying? I thought i was doing the right thing

      There is nothing wrong with crying. Crying is an emotional release. This is probably good for your emotional development and allowing you to step into whatever the next phase of your romantic life may look like. Don't try to resist it. Let the tears come out, buddy. I promise you there will be joy on the other side, one way or another.

      +Clay Andrews I mean is she crying because she misses me and still loves me? she is with another man. she has to be sneaky just to talk to me. I figured she was over me because she jumped into a new relationship. I have not dated anyone. I'm telling her that I need to see her again and talk to her one last time so I can finally move on. I thought this was what she wanted.

    Awesome Video, but for my situation. Well if your ex is sleeping with her ex all this might be worthless. She couldn't go through those 5 steps if shes getting it from another guy. That wouldn't be authentic, Right. I think these steps only work if both are alone going through the same changes, not one of them out partying and sleeping around. Then probably nothing you could do. Great video though. Thanks
