    This only works when the ex wants to get back. When you' were with someone that was just using you, they won't want to come back because they realize you're not going to tolerate their bs anymore. They'll miss what you did for them, but they won't miss you. They'll replace you and that will be it.

    Going no contact matches their energy and eventually putting you on top, because it was their decision that they will end up living in regret with. Enough time goes by and you get relieved that you’re done with someone who dumped you. You decide you would never take them back, and they end up spending the rest of their life blaming themselves for ending it.

    Craig, life put me your videos and I got to met you both. I always bond with people that I like/love, very deep. With you and Margaret I felt it. Margaret was someone that I only met through videos and I was hoping someday when I'm better I could have a coaching call with her and tell her how she made me feel, like if I was speaking with my mother or my grandmother, a place from caring and understanding, a place of love, a shoulder to cry on and a hand on my head telling me everything was going to be okay, I always started your videos crying in despair and sadness and watching you and Margaret smile at me always left me smiling by the end of the video, and that's something INCREDIBLE. It crushed my heart knowing that I won't be able to let her know how important she was to me, the things she said and the energy, the peace she gave out. Please be sure that what she has done for you, she has done for thousands of people, and won't be forgotten. I will pray for her today and will be forever thankful for what she has done for me, you, and thousands of people around the world going through a very dark time and pulling us back into the light. An angel on earth. She will be missed deeply🌹

He said he is tired and is hesitant because i gave him hard times all throughout the 3 years. He said he is madly in love with me and he won’t ever forget me( while crying). That was it. I went into NC since last week. I away from all media. No photos, no stories, no online. No nothing. As if i disappeared from the earth. He is silent. I am heartbroken.

      Very similar situation with me. Also a year of "acquaintance" (because now, after all, I can't call it a relationship) It also occurred to me after time and after reading and watching this type of videos that I was only a rebound. One of the cruelest things someone can do to you... How can someone say things, make you fall in love with them, believe them, trust them. How can someone assert their feelings - and finally say that there were no feelings from the beginning, and that "I can't be with someone without feelings" and "friendship would be better". But oh well. Life goes on. They have lost someone who truly loved them - and that is a big loss. We only lost someone who used us... Nobody special, there are lots of such people around xd

    I wasn't in a romantic relationship with a particular lady but I let her know that I would be there for support as I realised that she had some sort of trauma from past life experiences as she had mentioned certain little things over the years that I was able to piece together somehow without knowing it. Last month I had a small conversation with her about how she does not have to prove herself to be just as good or better than the men she works with. She was upset about many things.
    Long story short I had texted her over a period of 4 weeks at least twice a week saying to her just checking in to see how her day was. In one reply she said that she appreciated me seeing her and that it meant a lot to her. One night I rang her to ask for some advice on how long and what temperature to cook a certain pie as I had a mind blank and that triggered her somehow. The next day she said I had crossed boundaries which I was unaware of. Later that day I had seen a missed call from her so I called back but no answer so I hung up. One minute later she called me back and raved on about the same thing and said that she doesn't need me and that she has other people in her life to support her etc. and also with some nervous stuttering in her voice.
    So straight away I have been avoiding her with no contact but there was one time that I did come across her as my work involves being at the place of work where she is but it is not that I would see her every day. I think she is a DA or FA or whatever but it just seems weird to me that she suddenly turned against me when she has trust issues with her other co workers but opened up a little to me beforehand. I am at a loss. Don't know what to make of it as like I said I wasn't in a relationship with her.

    I had a 1 year relationship on and off, 3 breakups. It’s been six months since last breakup, 3 months since last contact. She has moved on and is seeing someone else. I’m not sure if there is still hope in my case, she randomly likes some of my posts, but it’s been a while now. Not sure if she’ll change her mind to be honest, my case is a difficult one. I’ll stay in NC and let’s see what happens. She saw my improvement, new car, new job, starting my own business, but not a word from her, she is an stubborn avoidant. Any tips? Thanks again.

    I am new to the channel and I am just confused as to how any of this will work if she completely blocked me on everything imaginable and she claims to be moving in two months, one month according to her mother. We were together for 23 years before I stopped having goals and ambitions. She felt taken advantage of and I see how she felt that way now. It has only been 1 week since the break up. She is my first breakup ever @ 40 yo. I have not reached out to her, not once. Originally when I asked her about no contact, she wanted five years. I couldn't agree to it.

She is staying with her family and has all the support in the world. I’m pretty sure she’s moved on.

We had a really great relationship but I wasn’t the best at communication and he couldn‘t do it anymore. Now I found something in my home which I bought for him and we also thought was lost. I’m thinking of giving it back to him (putting it in his mailbox without a note or anything. Do you guys think that’s a good idea or is that breaking no contact? I hope that maybe this will get us talking again

    Craig, I left town during no contact because I was so hurt that I didn’t want to be around when he came back. I knew he would because I truly was good to him and always expressed that I wanted the best for him. I was honest and supportive…but stayed reasonable when he wanted to be free. I heard he was distressed when he found I was gone but I didn’t call him. It’s been years now. He has found someone else and they just moved in to my neighborhood. Why God? How do I act now?

You are the main character and you have to think that way. If you have been good to them, they will never forget that, but they can move on and so you should do the same. I hope you become the best version of yourself and when your ex see it, they would regret for the rest of their lives. Wish you all the best 💕

I msgd him in January few times, then went NC since February. Then he indirectly reached out to me tru a friend & my bf came to see me 2 days ago to my college , seems like he miss me. But Im still on NC bcos he still didnt talk, text me or called me. He is FA, Im AP.

    Coach Craig, I have a question if you don't mind! I've been following your videos lately and I've been in no contact for almost 5 weeks at this point. We were in a relationship for 8.5 years. My question is : When she broke up with me she asked for space and time to heal "for a long time" and SHE requested no contact. I'm respecting her needs on that, after a week of failing to do so. If she is the one to initially start the no contact openly, does no contact still work?

    Men have it harder, yes. We are fighting/solution driven. Women just sit there, as trophy, be nice and pretty, knowing that most of us would drop everything and go to her on one text. They love to know they are pursued and wanted. Especially today, with social media and simp all over the place. So we must do counterintuitive things - not chase, not please, just stay focused and drive calmly. It can eventually trigger this evolutionary mechanism and she will start to think deeply.

      It’s literally not possible to get back like “nothing happened”. It happened.

      I was in the same position, an avoidant one broke it off for some reason. We only had a 6 month relationship, things went great for me and i loved her. She didn't feel the same way about me and the anxiety i felt afterwards, well for a month i couldn't get myslef togather to do work. I fucked up my semester in collage, i spent way too much on comfort food and everything totaly ruined my sport season, wich was looking really good just 3 months ago. But after a month of being a total shithead i decided to start pushing trought the pain and started working on everything i could fix. Been doing for 3 weeks now, i feel much better, a lot more confidence and positivity. Still think about her non stop but the thoughts are getting less relevant. My advice, when you feel ready, push trought it and start doing and living for yourslef. It won't fix everything but it will give you some solid ground to stand on. Take it easy as in don't reduce the stress as much as possible. I don't kbow how anything is going to work out, but feeling positively about it helps a lot. Good luck
