    1) Rebuild an emotional connection
    2) Be ok being friends in the beginning
    3) Bet on yourself! Be confident!
    4) You want to share your feelings
    5) Be emotionally ok with your current situation (accept being broken up)
    6) Turn off your bs machine in your head (turn off your negative thoughts thru this process)
    7) Decrease your exes reactants - defensiveness (your ex feels like you have alterior motives)
    8) Focus on the process and not the outcome.
    9) Understand the 5 stages on getting back together (walled off, test drive stage, riding the dragon, crisis point, new beginnings)
    10) Demonstrate that the relationship will be “new” and “different” from the past.
    11) Be willing to initiate and do more than 50% of the work yourself.
    12) Focus on the connection not the relationship
    13) Make the conversations meaningful
    14)
    15)
    16)
    17) The key to get back together is NOT by bashing the rebound
    18) The stronger than you can emotionally connect with your ex the quicker you will get back together
    19) Learn how to enjoy the present moment (meditation, affirmations, etc)
    20) Don’t pretend someone that you’re not (don’t be a push over or a total jerk)
    21) Good vulnerabilty (I feel) vs bad vulnerability (make them feel guilty)
    22) Keep in mind that we are all human beings so that you can connect better at an emotional level
    23) First contact you have with your ex is just the beginning (keep cool and relax)
    24) Take time to practice the skills that you’re learning so that you’re ready when you talk to your ex
    25) Playing hard to get will ruin your chances of getting back together
    26) Don’t over think what the next steps will be STAY in the present moment
    27) Don’t try to make your ex jealous!
    28) Meet your ex at the same emotional level where they’re at at the moment.
    29) The only thing keeping you apart from your ex is for both to make a decision
    30) When your ex pulls away is not a bad thing (Keep being consistent about the new you)
    31) Remember the majority of what they tell you is mostly emotional (context) vs not rational (content). Therefore you can focus on the emotional connection to change things around.
    32) Not use hope as a crutch but actually go thru the ENTIRE process and bet on yourself!
    33) Getting back together is NOT about doing the right things but actually being able to connect emotionally with your ex.
    34) Right now you are writing the next chapter of your love story what is the end destination?
    35) Who must you become to get your ex back and have a great relationship
    36) What matters the most are the small things that you are doing with your ex (Stay mentally and emotionally connected)
    37) It’s ok to step out of your comfort zone (by taking small steps)
    38) No matter what remember that there’s nothing wrong with you and you deserve to be loved!

      In other words, do ALL the work after I already did all the work IN the relationship only to be discarded, suppress my needs, wants and feelings to cater to those of my ex, and demonstrate that from now on it will be all about him. NOPE. I'm done.

    It's so true.. accept the Friends label TRUST ME!!! I refused being friends with her and took her excuse away to spend time with me. End result? She turned colder and colder day by day, contact broke off and when i reach Out to her from time to time and Bring Up the idea to meet Up she declines because she has no valid reasoning to meet me.. she doesn't even want friendship anymore... What should I do?

    Happy Birthday for yesterday! :D Really kind of you do this long video haha! What might an ex mean when they say they don't wanna give false hope? My ex has agreed to catch up over coffee once this situation is over - is this comment a way of him saying he doesn't want to rush into anything too fast? I think he was initially concerned I was too relationship focussed when I reached out - so by him saying this could be him trying to lower expectations? Or can this comment mean they have moved on?
    After some reassurance from me - he agreed to meet up instantly and said it sounds good which I took as a positive sign?

    @robschoenberg9941 4 роки тому

    Happy 38th birthday, Clay! Thanks for this informative video! Are you considering doing a video or two dealing with breaking up with somebody who was married and how many of these dynamics you have previously discussed would apply to that sort of situation? Maybe some of the obstacles, besides the obvious ones? I had asked about this before, but never got an answer from you if it's something you would do. Would be very helpful for my situation. Was in no contact with her for 3 months and then decided to reach out to her and see how she was doing during this whole quarantine situation. I also used it as sort of a clean slate type text, saying the I am sorry for the part I played in our break up, and that I never meant to hurt her. She did thank me for checking up on her, but she never even bothered to ask me how my health was, if I was still working, or apologize for any part that she may have played in the break up. I figured maybe she would return the favor in the days or weeks after, but it's been over a month since I sent that last text and nothing from her. It kinda hurts that it seems like she couldn't care less if I was dead or alive. And so, it was back to no contact again for me, and as I mentioned, it's been over a month since that last text, but as I had also mentioned, that followed 3 months of no contact. We were actually broken up a couple months prior to that initial 3 month period period of no contact. Anyway, I would appreciate you getting back to me. Thanks!

    • @MonotoniTV
      @MonotoniTV 3 роки тому

      I can't guarantee I'm right, but for me it seems like she hasn't moved on when she sends pictures like that. It clearly has the intent to trigger some emotions inside you. She wouldn't do that if she was really over you. Don't give her a reaction. You're apart. If she wants to be with other guys that is ok. Even if it hurts. Just focus on yourself and getting better. She'll come back if she can sense the change and when you deepen the connection again. Try to get where she is at.
      Hope everything is well by now, though

I miss her so much and even though she cheated on me, I still love her so much. What will I do?

    Hey, sunshine! Happy birthday 🥰 Can I, please, ask a question. Maybe other guys can give their opinions too, it would be great. The breakup happened approximately 2 months ago. My ex and I now contacting from time to time (always my initiative, but I’m fine with it), I’m trying to make an emotional connection. And sometimes our conversations are good, sometimes he’s cold. Yesterday my macbook died and I asked him for help, he gave me money for the repair and said that I don’t have to pay him back. I asked “why thanks, is it my birthday present?”, he said “not yet, it’s just for repair”. Guys, guys, guys, how do you think - is that a good sign or am I just being delusional?

      We talk about this inside the Tricky Situations of our program because as a parent, you must absolutely have your child's well being as a top priority and communication with your ex is crucial.
      Just try to keep your contact with your ex solely base on the kids, while focusing on honing your Advanced Relational Skills.
