    That's what Ive been doing constantly but realise that no one is perfect in a relationship and it takes two healthy people to make something work......

      I am avoiding relationships but when I do come together with somebody at some point my anxiety kicks in.
      Most of the time I could calm down but I had my moments over the years especially in the end where I lost it and acted needy, neglected, controlling and jealous when she triggerd me a lot and we didn't find a solution and talked about it clearly about our fears.
      I think a lot about my own mistakes and it makes me nuts somedays but in the end you have to forgive yourself not always being the best you could be.

    Each party plays a role in the breakup- one usually shares more blame than the other. But as long as you know you did your best, and/or are working towards bettering yourself and learning from past mistakes (so as to avoid making those mistakes again in the future), don’t beat yourself up about it.
    Move on with your life. Chase your dreams and achieve your life goals. Become the best version of yourself. Work towards bettering YOUR life and yourself, for you. Everything else will then fall into place. You’ve got this! It may not feel like that right now, but time is a wonderful thing. Do something valuable with that time. You’re going to be amazed with what you have achieved when you look back. You’ve got this!

      Right! People also want to save others. But you can't save everyone. Especially not until you saved yourself first.

    I've been beating myself up because she finally admitted she needs time to heal childhood trauma. To learn to love herself so that the love I have for her will truly be felt. I put blame on myself for not sending her on this solo journey sooner, so that we might already be two whole people at this point and our paths intertwined again. It's tough but was absolutely necessary for us as individuals and for any hope at a healthy future

    My ex was really good to me.
    Until later on during on of our dates. She started sighing at small things I said, grew a bad temper constantly , and was being distant from me. Then after we ended, she began emotionally abusing me for months, holding flaws I had and mistakes I made in the relationship over my head. It’s been 9 months NC, and she’s recently posted dating someone new. But I’m still not over it. I’m over the relationship but I haven’t fully healed from her mocking me, dismissing me, emotionally abusing me for not meeting all her standards. The fact that she can date someone else makes it so difficult for me to believe it’s not my fault. And her words.
    If anyone could offer some words of advice I would really appreciate it. This has been so tough for me. I don’t even feel ready to date anyone again yet

      What if you were at fault? Does it matter in the end? You can't change the past. Nor would she come back if you admitted it. Besides, it's doubtful you were the only one at fault if she failed to communicate her problems to you, until it was too late. Mature people don't go the extra mile to pull you down after the damage is done. Based on just what you wrote about her, sounds like you are really better off without her. At least you got some experience with dating. Maybe next time you'll spot red flags before you get too attached and you dump someone like her early on. But you can't know until you at least try.

    Hey Craig can you do a video about having to see an ex/(or guy you dated who ended things) for example at a party/through mutual friends? I've been trying to avoid my exes but we have a lot of mutual friends. So I have to miss out on things my friends are doing because one of the guys I dated might be there.
    How do you deal with seeing an ex at a social gathering. Neither of you planned to see each other it just happens because you're in the same friendship circle.

    Every failure brings with it a seed of equivalent advantage. Every day in every way I'm getting better and better. I would name the inner critic "the ego" or "Mr Bungle". This reminds me of a European movie called "Revolver". There was a character referred to as being named "Gold". There was a line in the movie one character sneakily whispers to another in the street: "Nobody sees Gold but Gold sees everything."

    It’s so hard for me not to blame myself (I guess that’s a part of my Virgo ♍️ sign). What’s triggering it back up again, is that I saw one of my classmates wedding posted on Facebook and got me sad and worried that we may not have that anymore. I even got the ring.

      One of the best things I did was delete her number. For that I also had to delete text messages. I unfortunately didn't delete messenger messages and I caused major setbacks by reading them every now and then. If you find the courage do delete every message he ever sent you, you'll heal a lot sooner.

      @@aaronk4310 sorry to hear that, my condolences. Similar situation but broke up by email after not reaching out for my birthday a couple of months back, blocked after that, sent a couple dozen of roses and made it worse, and eventually leaving the whole situation alone. If two people were decent to each other in the relationship then a face to face is the mature thing to do. Breaking up by text or email (unless abuse is involved) is immature and disrespectful. Lost my father earlier this month and she reached out a few days later (text). I responded a day and a half later stating thanks for her prayers because se really does pray when she says, and she pressed the heart emoji. I left it like that. I say all of this because with time feelings change and progress could be made with time. I'm sure your ex cares but everyone deals with breakups differently even if they were the ones who did the dumping.

    Can somebody help me? My girlfriend and I broke up on vacation due to her finding old nudes & an irrelevant tinder account on my phone. She forgave me for the nudes but decided to assume I was cheating based on a tinder account screenshot with no messages or anything on it. She left me in Cancun and we haven’t spoke since, she has blocked me on all social media and texts also her sister, sister in law & mother have blocked me. Her brother is the only one who hasn’t. I’m at a loss because I know I didn’t cheat on her and I wanted to explain everything but she never gave me the chance. Please help.

And when you reach out she tells you she doesn't have any happy moments and doesn't want you anymore. Do we not blame ourselves? 🤔
