    Whn my ex left he made it a point of showing me that he had found someone better. Now I hear that he found glass instead of a diamond. He gets a angry whenever he talks to me. I told him to find out why he is angry and at whom exactly. He is refusing with my stuff and it seems he wants me to follow him around.. Bt I am keeping my distance and watching as he is suffering.. 😊😊😊😊

    My first ex did this behavior. He essentially got with a girl that was similar in features as me. He tried reaching out to me a couple times to reconnect. He even proposed to the girl. They eventually broke up. He partied a lot and slept with girls. I realize now that he had emotional issues from trauma.

    This is the most accurate information about eyes on this channel. Mine is doing all 5 of these. I did the grieving the work and have manifested someone who has done their work. I am having so much fun, but must continue to do the work from the addiction that I created. I told him I forgive him and he can be my friend again if he wants to start the conversation " how can we meet each other's needs for trust and respect" . I wait for nothing, I hope it lessens his pain and he begins to heal himself with that thought.

  • @OceanicPearlz1

    He’s changed for the worst. He tries to ignore anything to do with me but I see his pain and can see that he may be bottling up his true emotions for me. He blocked me on the video game platform but even has been quite distant and busy with school and band. He seems more quiet and distant than he was still making effort to talk to me or me in his life that he cares about. He reaches out to his crush in a group chat with my best friend her sister is his crush. Though she likes him as a friend only. Both of them said I shouldn’t give up on him. He is acting more of a bad boy now and I really noticed it. But he being friends with a manipulator.

    Yeah my ex got in another relationship a week after the break up. We were together for 3 years and even got a house together. She's been posting how happy she is on social media and even said "don't go back to things that didn't help you grow" on social media. Since the break up she's been drinking with her friend every weekend and she's been spending the night with this new guy every weekend so I don't see her on the weekends at all. She even said she's doing what's best for her and her life and she's not going to apologize for that. I haven't posted shit on social media. She keeps throwing the word friends around when I try to flirt. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    I don’t think my ex is happy, she went into a rebound and that didn’t work out but she keeps telling me that she misses him etc, we was talking throughout Christmas Day and I thought we was getting somewhere. But she said she wanted to come home as she’s at her sister but I wasn’t going to like the reason. I said I’m not going to like it and don’t really want to hear about the rebound as he left her and I’ve been feeling like shit all day because I miss her and he doesn’t want to be with her just like she doesn’t with me (assuming) I lost control which is a mistake but now I’m blocked as she said we have nothing to talk about. Have I messed up?

      @@ClayAndrews your probably right. When we were in a relationship she never blasted her business on Facebook. She also didn't have alot of friends either. The last time we broke up which was like a year ago. She was doing the same things after we broke up she would add alot of people and put post up then take them down. Once we started talking again and hanging znd eventually back in a relationship all those people she added she deleted and she kept her personal stuff of social media. This break up i deleted a ton of people off Facebook and being really quiet. For personal growth for myself and to help myself become a better person.

    What if they're so "practical" they just figure, welp, over is over, and don't dwell on any emotions, or completely compartmentalize and don't feel it? Our breakup was so devastating for me, I moved 2400 miles away in a state of grief. We started talking again about a month after I moved, and he's always extremely nice, loving, almost like we never broke up. .. but he admitted he has a "friends with benefits" with someone awful, and he freely admits it's just convenient, easy sex with someone he doesn't especially like/enjoy being with much, nevermind love. I feel like my heart was shattered and it still hurts a year later, and yet, he's fine just getting laid. Like the depth of what we shared wasn't even necessary for him, if that makes sense. I had not considered a long distance thing with him until we recently (he could literally be here in r hours), yet knowing he's sleeping with the overweight alcoholic makes it out of the question for me now.

My method is, "if you cheated just gtfo of my life. I don't want to know or hear any details, just get your stuff and leave. If rebounded you just disappear.

    Hi clay, love your content, you're a great support, I was wondering if maybe you could help me with this.
    I broke with me gf in January - february after a 3 year relationship, I did active no contact and worked everything, we started to get back together she eve told me she loved me and wanted to be with me for the rest of her life. Then around a month into the whole process I think she was in the crisis point and I lost my cool and pretty much we started to fight twice a week.
    Las night I lost my cool again and she broke up with me saying she loved me and that I'm the one she wants but we're not compatible anymore.
    Is there anything I can do, can it work again?
    How can I control myself better?

And quite coincidentally, my ex was there that day too. When my friend came back to me later, he told me about it. He said my ex said "I don't care about him" and "For me this relationship wasn't even a relationship" and THAT'S what she said even though we were actually both very happy and (we both) were having our first time and stuff like that. I don't really know what to say. It's very weird... You can't by any chance tell me what could be causing this, can you? I'm kinda desperate and don't know what to think.

      Truthfully, it could be a reason for a reaction because she knows you’re friend would go back and tell you which would give you a reason to reach out. Very immature and lack of growth from the break up, but know she still thinks about you in an emotional way. Being over you would sound more like “yeah we dated but I hope he’s doing good now” or “we had our time im fine now”
