    She drove 60 miles to sleep with another guy during their break up. The way Coach Craig reads that line and the way she used it against the guy, my jaw dropped, and I couldn’t help but laugh at this one. I have empathy for him, I’m laughing at her behavior, not him.

    Sadly my fiancé of nearly 4 years who is nearly 70 years of age, was not mature enough to breakup honestly and in person. Got informed by by text that he was going back to his soon to be ex-wife (that he’d been separated from for years) and that he didn’t wish to discuss the breakup - as he supposedly had to sit with his feelings 😢

    I was in a stressful period during the relationship with my ex. The week before the breakup I was out of character and a week later she broke up with me. Some of the excuses I take responsibility for. But her two main reasons was that she didn't want to risk my health and wellbeing and that she didn't want to feel alone in the relationship. I accepted it and hopes we could still be friends. However I found out later that she got together with a new guy a week after our breakup. A guy she have known for some months through a computer game she plays, and lives 400 kilometers away. So much for feeling alone in a relationship. That's when I realized he probably have been in the picture for a while and there was probably some emotional bonding between them.
    I am now almost 6 months in no contact and I don't want anything to do with her unless she wants to give us another go. But I don't hold any hope.
    We knew each other as friends 4 years before our 7 month relationship and during and after the breakup she paid zero attention when I wanted to express my thoughts and my side of the story.
    And for her to do that to someone who have been close to her for so many years for someone she have known for some months just shows me what kind of person she is

      Awesome for going no contact- you got this! I am in my 1 month, its been 12 days and its been hard. I think it'll take for your ex, it'll take her a while to figure things out. She seems avoidant and isnt acknowledging her inner thoughts and feelings to truly grow and mature as a woman (I am a woman too and hold little regard for other women who don't reflect and learn to respect and acknowledge their own emotions- our emotions can be big but its our own responsibility to learn of ourselves & triggers). She might realise once that "honeymoon" stage is over that you guys held more values and stronger foundations than she has with her new man. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
      Keep on your healing and self reflection journey!

      I was unfortunately the one who showed avoidant tendencies. She was very loving and caring and secure up until the breakup, then nothing mattered anymore.
      I had a hard time talking and expressing feelings (didn't know about attachment theory then) and I was not big on sexy time due to my stress, so I know I did things wrong. She tried to get me to open up but I just couldn't.
      However, I loved kissing, hugging and cuddling. Touch and closeness were my love languages. And I was always there for her when she needed me, either if it was practical or emotional.
      Sometimes I could swing by her place after work to hug her and be there with her when she felt down. And when she felt better I continued on home to my own place. Considering this was my first ever relationship I still think I did okey.

    I think every "reason" given for the rapid breakup was an excuse. My friend was present & he was super confused too. I think aside from our argument the breakup was due to my man being very stressed & for whatever reason he didn't want to tell me what was really going on. It has kept me stuck, not knowing & having to guess everything.

My ex & I share an attachment style so I understood what was happening. My friend is Securely attached & didn't. My friend wasn't hiding anything, on the contrary, he is kinda clueless & said too much and made my already upset ex angrier to the point he dumped me. Not saying it's my friend's fault I shouldn't have had him with me.

    maybe she was so avoidant that it triggered his anxiety and then his anxiety drove her to become even more avoidant... and as we know the people that lean towards the avoidant side tend to have no issue with just having sex without feelings which it looks like she got into.. so he might have issues but she probably has a more intense level of issues.. and of course being that they are young... that magnifies it in my opinion

      She only really told be she has felt single and told me that even thought she knows I never date the same person twice but maybe in the future. Also love isn’t enough. She continued to contact me for about a month after, felt like that was to make her feel better about it. 15 years of friendship and 2.5 years of that in a relationship gone. I’m hurt and my daughter is taking it hard. I’m working on the work books and myself.

      Craig
      I can write a book here. I'll say this. The little things add up, but they she found things just to use. Some true some not. Gas lighted me etc. It's true, I understand why she was unhappy, I can see why if I was in her shoes, but the lies, deceit, etc from a 39 yr old. If young people do this, it's a potential bad sign for their future relationships.
      We spoke 3 yrs ago, after telling you my situation, you actually said my ex sounds disorganized. From her past traumas I'd say your correct. Its best to focus on ourselves. Feel the hurt, improve skills, communication, cape!!! And fix the one person I had control over me. Myself
      I found out recently, my ex got married. Just 3 yrs later to the man she started seeing when we just split up. I know they got off to a rough start. It doesn't matter, it's not my issue or my marriage.
      At the end of the day, I'm better then ok. Being alone was what I needed in my journey to improvement. I have a scar, lingering pain bc of some nastiness, and I'm grinding..
      Thank God I found you on UA-cam. It wasn't an easy start
      Happy holidays Mr. Kenneth

Month in, by sheer chance, found out thru third party, he had gone overseas ( SanFransico ) approx 2/3 weeks after our blowup - with a woman who has a daughter living there, for a holiday . For a week .
    Was taken by surprise by this news. He must of been talking with this woman prior to the major blowup that came out of nowhere.
    So torn wheather to break no contact and confront him- about the info I have been enlightened too.

      You broke the trust, you broke the relationship. She had all right to walk away. Give time, time. Work on yourself, dig deep as to why you even had the desire TO cheat, change for the better, never do it again, run from temptation, and be OK with the fact that she may never give you another chance. I do believe cheaters can change. But that doesn’t change the fact that the damage was done. There are consequences for everything. And her being out of your life now is one of them. Head up!
