    The person who is least invested controls the relationship. The trick is to recognize this early on so you don't waste your time.

    I didn't know it was breadcrumbing because this is how I felt my whole childhood with my parents. They were never available for me, never wanting to spend time with me one-on-one. And I was so used to missing my own mom and dad - so much that it always hurt me. But they told me they loved me. So, I learned that missing someone (so much that it hurts) is what love feels like because I truly loved my parents and thought they truly loved me too. But only in my late 30's I realized that loving my parents actually was a very painful experience. When, already as a teen, I had implied to my mom that I felt like she didn't love me enough and that I felt like I couldn't get any of her attention, she raged at me and screamed wildly, making me feel guilty, spoiled, entitled and crazy. So, I learned that having needs meant I was selfish.
    Later when my two boyfriends started breadcrumbing me, I felt it would be selfish of me to complain about that and I just continued to miss them more and more, never bringing up the issue. My first boyfriend eventually ghosted me.
    The second boyfriend didn't ghost but discarded me. I was so emotionally devastated. Indeed, my heartbreak was brutally painful. Fortunately, youtube videos, like yours, taught me more about love than my own parents could teach. Thank you so much for your tools. I'm getting better now.

      And I still love my parents, but I do so from a distance and never get too close or too attached to them. I won't allow myself anymore to get attached to anyone who isn't available for me, whether it's a friend, family member\blood relative or a partner/boyfriend.

      Sorry you had to go through that with your parents. I can totally relate, my parents were also emotionally immature and unavailable to me too. So my last relationship brought me so much joy because it was the first time I ever felt such unconditional love from my anyone. My heart definitely ripped into two near the end as he slowly drifted away from me and the talks we had on the phone became less and less. When it ended it hurt even more with him breadcrumbs me and I didn't realize it until I learned about it on the internet too.
      It really sucks how our relationships with our parents also affect us in our own personal relationships, but I'm grateful for the internet for helping us with these topics and seeing others also going through similar experiences gives some comfort too.
      I hope you're doing well and continuing to thrive 💗

    I’m finally aware and onto Bread Crumbing . It’s just enough to keep you hanging in . A relationship that is going somewhere has a natural pattern of moving forward with consistent actions . If it doesn’t move forward or stops and starts then time to cut ties . Agree they think you are on their back burner . They will gladly lead you on .

    I've been through 3 years of breadcrumbing to the point of severe physical illness from the stress and can say the guy who said "Its not about you -Its them" is completely right. There is always an issue with a breadcrumber being it depression or whatever but there is a reason theyre doing this and it's with them. I am not saying this to make those who have been treated this way feel better but this is experience and turning the issue inside out over 3 years. The problem is with them, they have something big in their life thats wrong and thats why they cant invest in a relationship. So when someone does this my advice is to end the contact and do NOT under any circumstance look back.

    I noticed a guy at my gym keep making eye contact with me. Naturally, I would look back. I wasn't sure why he kept initiating eye contact. I felt that I should just go over and introduce myself. Did that. Learned his name and felt a connection. He waved at me from across the gym more than once. More brief conversations led me to believe he was attracted to me and wanted to keep getting to know me. I began to get excited and feel it was the start of a new relationship. Began to develop feelings for him. I made steps to actually go on a date with him. He said it would be a couple of weeks. I asked about his weekend and he mentioned spending time with his daughter and his wife's family. I decided to friend zone him just as a protective measure for me.

    I'm afraid that a lot of people are afraid to face the fact that the breadcrumber is just playing games. They themselves so want to believe the excuses, delays, etc because they want to feel the other is truly interested and has plans with them someday. It is quite adult and grown up to read between the lines and lies and deceit and move on with your disappointed heart and soul. I have found that many young victims cannot be shown the truth and will defend these stupid games and selfish behaviors. It's a shame but I guess it takes what it takes to mature and get gut level honest. A twice divorcee and 52 year old female like myself ain't got no time for no foolishness! Lol
    Thank you and keep up your awesome guidance and support.

    Rather than blaming another for our experiences, we must accept our inability to move out of a dilapidated relationship which is failing to provide support. If we are accepting this behavior it means we are short changing our emotions. Let's take the challenge to move forward with a new focus and attract the right relationship. Spoilt milk is never useful for preparing porridge & Rotten people can't participate in fulfilling relationships.

    I have been mentally and verbally abused very recently by a horrible man who was deeply wounded as a child, physically abused and neglected and did jail time. He wielded it over me with power, making me feel stupid for wanting a deeper relationship with him. He only meets at night, only wants sex and then he'd reveal his deepest darkest secrets to me and then push me away and cycle back and forth telling me he wants me then treating me like shit. i walked. Never going back. i have cried bitter tears over him. He will never get to do that to me again. I fell in love with him and i know my brain and heart will heal with time. None of my friends understand how i feel. it is isolating and lonely but it is what it is. i am an adult and i must pick up the pieces and move on. he (symbolically)threw scraps at me on the floor like a homeless dog begging for food. It is still playing with my psyche.

Already knew enough these past few months to stay completely away, and that having created hat space, along with my continually trying to figure out this whacky world of interpersonal relationships, and along with truly helpful people like you, will end up being my salvation in the gut~churning endeavour.

      I thought so too. Love is all about giving giving giving and not caring to receive anything back. Well, I was giving and giving and then, I somehow ended up feeling like a doormat. Honestly, it is impossible to genuinely care about someone and totally be detached. If you truly loved someone and deeply cared about someone and was completely detached at the same time, you'd never miss them and you would not care if they suddenly disappear from your life, or worse, die in a car crash - you would not even have to grieve their death because you were never deeply attached to them in the first place. I don't think it's possible or realistic to deeply care about someone and not be attached to them in way at all. Attachment is natural and there must a healthy level of attachment, and it should be mutual, I think.

    I’m just stepping back now, saw someone a year ago. Always kept in touch flattered /flirted with each other and made it clear I wanted to take her out again even if for a day , she accepted but nothing got pencilled in. Always too busy with studies . Then saw her profile pics recently, at the festival, at the races, kind of told me. I just got a message ‘ I’ve been thinking about you, how are you ?. I haven’t answered yet, when I do I won’t ask to go out for the day, what’s she been up to and keep it minimum. Will say I’ve been busy. Not contacted her for about 5 weeks now, I think I’m out of trying.

Couple of days ago I found your channel and now I understand much more. They were "grey rocking", "breadcrumbing" me for the whole year of our relationship. F**k them 👌🏻

    I´m still sad over a "breakup" and it´s been four months already. The thing we had together I don´t even know what to label because it was a hot and cold behaviour and I went along with it. Yet I can´t seem to get over it. I keep thinking about everything that maybe went wrong. I know that I should just move on but still there are this neverending thoughts in my head.

      Hey Niv, this is a natural thing your going through and your not the only one. I'm heartbroken currently as I heard the girl I like who I haven't seen since college (4 years now) might be married now. Been around 2 months for me now and wanting to move on from it but going through the loop also where my mind goes back to thinking about her and playing detective on what I might of done wrong even though I know she was too decent to go with a guy outside her family and probably race. You'll get through it. Try and focus on yourself, think about what good / achievements you've done in life and improve your self respect as it really does make you appreciate yourself 👍.

      Look up videos on ruminating....I'm same as you. Was with him 6 years on and off living off his breadcrumbs. I was never able to label our 'relationship ' bc he hated labels. I used to call it the 'almost relationship '. Absolutely no commitment. .I never even knew when I was gonna see him again. He'd text me about 8pm and say he'd come over and I'd be like wow. .he's actually coming over and I'd drop everything rush to have a shower, put some make up on, do my hair. I'd be exhausted by the time he arrived but had to put food for him. By midnight I'd be wishing he'd go so I could get to bed but he'd hang around til the early hours. Sometimes I'd invite him to bed and mostly he'd say no he's got stuff to do at home!! But occasionally he'd say yes and I'd be like oh wow he actually wants me!!
      Now I'm seven months no contact I find it unbelievable what I tolerated from this man. He used me and I let him. I tried to end it many times but he hoovered me back in after a few months of not speaking. And I was non stop ruminating over him . He was like a drug. I'm doing ok now since finding these channels and joining a Facebook support group. Once you put distance between you and him it's amazing how the light bulbs start popping. Don't give up.

    God good. I got caught in this for 11 months until last week i called her out. Also friendzoned by ex. This is an unreal toxic trait. Every time since last august,Soon as i start feeling good boom whack a mole she comes in. Literally any excuse possible….i just said please don’t contact anymore i need to heal. She says i just thought we could be friends uhh nooooo. Left a long message told her how i felt (step kids involved) so made it abit harder but i am finally done with it……i feel for anyone whos dealt with this or is…walk away set yourself free. Painful as it is as mush as i love her and her children. I heard it all. I miss u. I cant commit im confused i dont know what i want blah blaah blah. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️My lord its all text book Susan.

    Susan, I've had this twice recently. It's very annoying, but at the same time, I find that being clear and "calling it" helps you to save a lot of time and prevents them from putting you in their orbit. I had a guy contact me out of the blue; we went on one date a year and a half ago. At the time, I was seeing someone else, so I asked to be friends. He didn't seem too keen on that so we went our separate ways. He texted me a year and a half later saying he "missed me" and wanted to meet up. I was keen, but I noticed he started being inconsistent with his texting. Anyway, we had plans for him to come over to my house for coffee (all restaurants are closed) at 2.00 one afternoon. At 2.00, he sent me a text saying he was just getting out of the bath and wanted to "cool down" and have coffee before coming over and that he would "probably" be there before 3.00. I phoned him and said I felt it was a bit inconsiderate for him to mess around our times like that as I had been waiting for him and there were other things I could be doing. He got huffy and hung up the phone on me, and then texted me to say that he "tried" but that it obviously wasn't good enough for me. I calmly told him that no, it wasn't good enough for me, and I wished him the best of luck. Just astonished at the bad manners of these breadcrumbers.

      @@pam164 yes it is as though they are reading from the exact same guide book. You can almost feel it happening before it happens because these types of people are so blindingly predictable. But yes, you are right - it is not us. It is these people. No manners, no consideration, no sense of direction, and no strength of character whatsoever. I've learned to set my expectations extremely low for online dating, but all the same, I don't give someone like this a second chance to stand me up or mess around plans. If someone isn't capable of sticking to a simple coffee date without giving a halfhearted excuse (just getting out of the bath? needed to cool down? really?) then they simply aren't a person I need around me.

My efforts were in vain. This video confirms that. I'm going to crawl into a hole now.

I hope you find acceptance in yourself and know that you are valuable and you are lovable.

We know we like each other but haven't met yet as he lives in another country. We get on so well and have told each other we like each other but he cannot commit to a relationship so soon.
