    I've said loads of these to my ex, 3 months on and we are making progress - in riding the dragon phase and talking on the phone every few week. He's still hold back about his emotions around the breakup but we've discussed his anxiety to the point where he has felt comfortable crying down the phone to me about other stuff. One day at a time, and if you're anxious about talking to them then be honest about it with them - they are human after all and it shows your vulnerability to them!

  • @junelee5975

    Clay is right. I followed others’ advice like getting back together or nothing at all approach. It really backfired. Now i adopted being friends approach like Clay and already ex is broke up with rebound and started to flirt with me. I think this is way better than no contact until they say substantial. This doesnt work. It worked for the first time but after a few more fights and separation they no longer worked.

    • @ClayAndrews

      Hey, sounds like an echo breakup to me. Usually an echo breakup happens because the changes that was brought after getting back together is just within the superficial level.

    We broke up years ago and even the normal talk between us took a loong time after that. last year he started contacting me regularly again, apologized for the first time and said that he wants to be good friends with me and that he does not want to have disputes with me again. he rejected me many times when i did the mistakes in this video, which i also did too early of course but stopped in the last two years. it was really difficult to accept being friends dince i still have strong emotions for him but even being friends with him seemed better than having no contact to him so about four months later we still talk occassionally but i have no idea where i am at since i cannot talk to him about my feelings again.

  • @littleman787
    @littleman787 4 роки тому +5

    She wanted to ‘be friends’, I thought “you don’t get to be in my life for free”, wished her well and blocked her. Now wondering whether I shouldn’t have burnt that bridge

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  4 роки тому +4

      it is best to gauge where she is at emotionally right now. It is understandable that when we felt hurt and emotional, we can do or say things that may not be well thought of.

    • @littleman787
      @littleman787 4 роки тому

      Clay Andrews Thanks Clay. I’m in no contact and not spoken since it happened a few weeks ago. The most difficult thing is how she’s been with much worse guys for longer (controlling, used her for sex, etc). Whereas I treated her great and she has the cheek to end it with me :/

      @williamdolan7189 , I understand that some of us may have done something that might have certain impact in our chances. Of course, every day is a new day for us to make better choices and actions. As long as you are showing consistent/authentic change, eventually your ex will notice that. Sending more positive energies on your end.

    Hey Clay, it's John. So as you know I am in a position of giving her space but I told her in a I am there for you context, "I am not going anywhere" & "I am always her to call, vent, listen, etc.". I am not forcing any relationship but I also don't want her to think I am gonna run in the tough times. Ya know? THOUGHTS?

    We are long distance relationship, last month my bf broke up with me, he wanna be friends after that we had few small chat, then sometimes he misunderstood my words and get angry or emotion and he thought let’s no contact till he comes to my country again. Cuz he told me we are only cry and sad or I miss you, he doesn’t wanna it. So I told him those five things( like I wanna you back, do u love me?) he got angry and said it’s over!! Then we were no talking three weeks now.. I’m so heartbroken I wanna him back ,what should I do now? I miss him so much..

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  4 роки тому +1

      I'm sorry to hear about what happened. Sounds like your ex's wall of reactance goes up whenever the topic leans towards the relationship. Focus on connection until he feels comfortable and start to trust you over again.

    Hi Clay, if they're in Wall of reactance, is it bad to reach out after a month and send something helpful or to them to make them happy and not expect/ask for a reply? I think it would show selflessness which would be a contrast to me being selfish during our relationship

  • @pmvrp654
    @pmvrp654 4 роки тому +2

    I did all of this 🤦‍♂️ that was my chance after 3 months since we broke up. I approached to her first after 3 months of no contact. We talked for a week & she's comfortable with me. Then i opened up about our relationship and that was a mistake. A big mistake. It was too soon. I lost my chance to make her emotionally attached to me organically and I think I scared her off & she doesn't wanna talk to me. That happened 3 weeks ago. What should I do? I need an advice. Thanks!

    Can you make a video about what if you put yourself in a bad spot with you're ex because you said many people do this... i think my ex was at riding the dragon and one day we were connecting really well but another day it was just one word replies and i said if there was somthing going on holding her back or if she just was not in the mood for texting and she said yeah im not in the mood and then i said do you even want to text with me because sometimes i its not fun texting when you send short replies and she said you can text but i dont need it... and i said well if you dont want to i will not text you if that is what you want and i wish her well and told her if she needs me and wants to text she can always text me my door is always open so i dont now if that is good or bad!? I have a double feeling because 1) im really proud of myself i tried for 5 months getting her back and i feel really good i tried 2) im a bit stressed i give up to soon or pin myself against a wall because now i said that i will respect her wish of not texting so i cant just go and ask how work was... but now its like there is a big load off my shoulders like ok its over and now what do i do with my life and i am planning things with my life but before my ex just consumed my thoughts so i am like a already told happy but also confused. So if you could make a video about that topic it would be great so i have a second opinion and then i can look on it and make a decision

    • @timbob1145
      @timbob1145 Рік тому

      You did your best, so no guilt pal. It's a hard pill to swallow but you have given them a free ride. Not saying you should make it a transactional relationship, but it is clear subconsciously to them that they have to do nothing to have you there. So you gotta go be you, have your own life and passions etc. Go find yourself. That is all you can do for now. If you want to check back in with them at some point you can, just give it a lot of time, grow yourself and find joy in life without them in it first. Eventually if/when you speak to them again you'll come across more interesting, you can say what you've been doing and not just ask her if she's ok etc...

    7/23.2020. OK, she is being a pain. Yesterday she texts me, how are you? Hows the new job? Etc. I told her I have to go and get ready for work, that was the truth. Maybe we can talk later. This morning, my day off I get a text, sorry I didnt call last night, got behind? Whoa, whoa, whoa, when I said later I didn't mean later last night.
    Today I texted, its ok about last night, I didnt get home until 7:30. We will talk. One her way home she calls me. Phone is on vibrate in the other room didnt hear it. I texted AGAIN, sorry, didnt hear it. I figured its over, we will talk in a few days. Two mins later she texts, cooking dinner, will call at 7:30. She, for some reason is really pushy, havent talked in a month and suddenly we HAVE to talk NOW, so to speak.
    I do hope she is ok, I mean I hate what she did but if she is in medical trouble, well Im not a total a-hole, though debateable to some.
    UPDATE: Since its fresh on my mind. So she actually called, talked for 40 mins about this, that, and the other thing. My mood to be honest was why are we doing this? No results seem to come from it.
    Her mood/situation was she wanted to here my voice. While it lasted 40 mins it was very choppy, more on her side. It was like the first time you talked when you are getting to know someone. Lastly, she says I gotta get going, work tomorrow. Fair enough. The thing that stands out was....When she said good night, and this has happened to you and others, there was that 5 second pause where it seems like she wanted to say something but didn't. So, in short I have, as usual, no clue what she wanted or what was to be gained or lost.
