After the breakup, your ex goes through many different emotional stages. In this video, we discuss what happens when an ex comes to the realization that they have made a mistake and that a relationship with you would be worth trying again.

    Those cartoons in the Creative Healing Course are really great. For those that haven't seen them, they basically go "here's this couple, here's what they're like" and then a situation happens that brings up conflict. Then you have a bunch of questions to answer about the situation and how it can relate to your own experiences. Starring Palpatine and others. Probably my favorite part of the course. They seemed silly at first but they're very well done and wind up teaching you a whole lot.

      My wife threatened to divorce barely 3 months after I bought our house, then threatened again 2 months after I renovated the house, and finally a third time 3 months after that. She has 2 younger siblings who moved in with us, and now all 3 of them have moved out. I felt betrayed and heartbroken, having agreed to buy a house for her, putting all the heart and efforts and then she just ended the marriage when things didn't go exactly what she expected. This happened just 2 weeks ago and I am still trying to come to terms. Some days I wish she come back to me, some days I feel angry that she did this to me and just wish I meet someone better.

      I love you guys. ♥️♥️♥️ It's been 10 months. My relationship was toxic, with frequent arguing, stonewalling, him belittling me verbally, gaslighting, etc. My ex still finds reasons to talk to me in public, which astounds me as the dumpee, but I don't see a future with him happening or even friendship despite the fact I still love him. Your videos bring me lots of knowledge I hope to use in my next relationship! Wish I could afford coaching and the workbooks, but the videos are teaching me a lot of things I never knew about attachment theory, childhood trauma, etc. Thank you for being THE best dating coaches out there. No one else compares in my opinion!

      It is really difficult when both work for the same company.
      1) never date ppl from work
      2) always take a couple of years by yourself after a break-up - whether they want you back or not (and it is never the same if you do get back, so may as well not get back).

    • @smilersmiling
      @smilersmiling 3 роки тому +36

      No contact is not a guarantee that your ex will ever come back. It’s respect for you and your ex. It’s about regaining control of you and bettering yourself. If they didn’t want the previous you then your best chances of getting your ex back is being a better version of yourself.
      Also pay attention to those that shouldn’t be in relationships and have done you favour. Toxic emotionally damaged people that have a lot of childhood trauma should be avoided and if they’ve dumped you have managed to dodge a really big bullet.

      I have read about people that got back together after several years of separation. I have also read about studies that found that it took on average one year and a half for couples to get back together after a breakup. So yeah, in the long run one year might not be enough for a dumper to regret what he or she had. It still depends on a lot of variables like personalities of the two of you, experiences, other potential partners, needs, mental health, and reasons for the breakup etc. pp.

    She broke up 3 months ago, we still casually slept together for about a month afterwards because of the comfort it gave me. No contact for 5 weeks now, some days go well, some are horrible. I'm waiting for the day where I can move on completely and where my mind stops feeding me with false hope. I blocked her from all social media which make me feel very anxious in the beginning, but it was the best decision I could've made for my own peace of mind. Stay strong, keep working on yourself small steps at a time, we’ll get there!

    I watched you 3 years ago and did the work. My ex left me 3 weeks ago. I went into no contact immediatly. Last night she responded to a sliver in my picture post on FB. It was a huge sliver. She texted me this morning and asked how my finger was and told me to get it checked. She texted me this afternoon saying it would be ok if I took her dog for a weekend. Meanwhile I have lost 18 lbs. And have been getting therapy for a terrible childhood that was suppressed and I didnt even know about. The breakup caused so much trauma for me all these memories from childhood came back instead of our relationship memories. I feel 200 percent better after talking about these unresolved memories. I am a new person from letting things go that I didnt even know I was carrying with me. You guys ever seen this. Made me feaful of attaching to her which drove her away.

    How about a situation where my ex wife (20 years apart) prior to spending a lot of time together from March through June? We never became intimate at all, but spent most days together, usually with her kids from her 2nd marriage. We did spend the night together in the same bed 5x, just sleeping unfortunately. She said she wanted to be just friends, but I’ve told her I wasn’t interested in that at all.

    I'm 73, and living in an isolated part of central France, with no friends, no surviving family, and I hardly ever see anyone. My wife left me three months ago, after a series of disagreements, none of which I considered very serious, although her drinking was often the root cause of them. She arranged with her daughter and son in law, also living in France, to help collect her stuff and move her out one Sunday. She left our collie dog and cat for me to look after.
    I haven't heard a word from her (not even to enquire after our animals), or her family, since - I always got on with them all.
    So it seems that the relationship is irrevocably, and totally over, despite having known her for nine years, and married for four of them. I feel as if I've been switched off, the fuse withdrawn, and the power cut off.
    I am devastated, and finding things very difficult.

    What about being broken up with because your ex doesn’t feel he’s good enough to be with you without being brave enough to have a conversation about it? Bonus, he still wants to be “friends”. I’m trying to be friendly, but am in pain because he’s so close but still so far. He even told me he was just in my building doing a delivery, and that I must’ve felt him since I happened to reach out that day. It’s nerve wracking! I have NO idea what he’s thinking. All I know is that he’s avoiding me but still wants to be connected. He’ll ghost at whim, and will be light and friendly when he wants to connect. He told me past girlfriends have simply stopped responding to him. I essentially did that in the early courting stage but he still would reach out every few months for 2 years. I finally decided to see if we could be a thing and fell for him. 8 months into it he deactivated after a series of him making a few mistakes. I broke up with him, the next day he asked to talk. Never happened. A month later poof, breakup text. Wtf.

    Hopefully so. She broke up with me even though I know I was as good of a boyfriend as I could have been. Not perfect mind you, but pretty darn good. It makes me sad to think that me putting in the constant effort to be a good boyfriend was not good enough for her. But than I also know that one day she will look back and realize what she gave up and most likely regret it at some point. I've been in NC for two months now and she blocked me pretty much everywhere right after the break up. I didnt even beg her or anything she just did it right away. I partially think she is ashamed because she knows how hard it would be for me and the likely reason she wanted to break up. I also think she might be taking it hard, but that's only my gut feeling, nothing else. As much as it sucks and I want this feeling to end, I also just dont know if she will ever have to courage to reach out even if/when she gets to the stage of regret.

      @@ivydune4185 in my experience even after they’ve fallen in love with someone else, they quickly realize that falling in love and being in love are different. That’s when they start to compare the love they had for their ex versus the infatuation type of love they feel for their rebound. They know it’s not the same but this process takes at least 3-4 months because the honeymoon stage in rebounds are a lot shorter than the honeymoon stage in relationships that are started for all the right reasons. Problem is even when they’re comparing, or thinking about you or even want to reach out to see how you’re doing...pride and fear get in the way of them wanting to do anything about their feelings. Some will reach out but others will just push through the feelings and move on. That’s really the only difference between those who come back and those who don’t. But dumpers always go through the same grief process. It’s just what they do about it that makes the difference.

I didn't really know the Grandma, I attended out of respect for her, the family and my bf at the time..

    Hey comment section.
    So after virtually exactly a year of no contact, I get a message from my ex. It went like this:
    "Hey, hope everything is ok. Can I arrange a day to come and get some personal items?" That's verbatim.
    I was already pretty done. I thought of her sometimes but the hurt and all that was over. Now I'm kind of relapsing a little.
    Do you think that's considered an indirect/ direct? I mean, it's been a year of no contact at all. Last I said to her was I wasn't going to be demoted to friend just to watch her move on. That was it

      What personal items? If it’s nothing big; I’d say it’s a indirect direct.

      @@RHammer1983 Honestly, I didn't ask . I found the phrasing itself to be a bit odd, instead of just highlighting some specific thing she could be talking about. I know Craig always says assume they will come back, but I just went the fast set a face to face route and arranged this coming Sunday. Not had any further conversation so I'm just curious at this point

      @@RHammer1983 If nothing else, this serves to show the power of anxiety in a break up. I was essentially moved on. Now out of the blue, I am questioning things again, stupidly trying to mind read, straight back on Craig Kenneth videos looking for insight etc. I know I'm looking at that from a dumpee perspective, but if all humans are similar, she must also have these same thoughts just in the act of reaching out even if it is just for some items , whatever they may be.
      As I've seen Craig himself say before, women don't contact men they aren't interested in. They just don't.
      But that's more mind reading

      @@chunkybabbit5734 , A year is a long time, it’s been about six weeks for me . We were very healthy and she did it on the phone; fucked me up cause I couldn’t say goodbye. Let me know how it goes, that’s a long build up to talk again.
