    It takes months for an ex to come back because they are busy entertaining “greener grass”, they’ll come back to you when they can’t find a replacement

    They come back if the new "toy" isn't as good as the old one. Ofc they can skip for a newer one... after some they may realize that "that" person wasn't that bad after all

    You have to remember a narcissist is basically a child in an adults body. So they act like being told off by their parents when they were a child. They leave and don’t want to return until they feel their parents have cooled off and/or given time to forgive the child. Or even an amount of time had passed where the parent may have forgotten what the child had done in the first place. Fast forward to the adult narcissist and they are basically doing the same with an ex partner, they return when they hope enough time has passed by and you as the victim has either forgiven them or forgotten what the argument was actually over

    A little after 3 months were talking again and as of last week we started having sex, and she says she misses us but not the old relationship, I also agreed with her that's why we have to start over with a clean slate not bringing anything into the new relationship. I've been going to counseling for the last 3 months and she definitely sees the difference of my progress, so I hope we will work out and be together again

    I'm 5 months into no contact. I can now see why one is two months is not enough. Did that before and we broke up again a couple of months later. I'm now a different person and don't depend on her even though I miss her I'm not desperate. Had only a couple of emails since but nothing that lead to anything. What ever happens, I'm not going to make it easy if I let her back into my life at all. Statistically what I read is that they never work on themselves and you will just break up again . Sad but reality.

    This is pretty much the situation I’m in. I always had to bring up the tough conversation because she didn’t know how to speak her mind and when she started crossing boundaries instead of trying to work things out she said it’s better for her to be single right now. We also lived and had a lease together so 2 months post break up, being an Anxious type I’ve had nights crying, pleading where the relationship went wrong, being angry and argumentative which seemed to only push her further away and reassure her she made the right choice. I wish I was as level headed then than I am now. I’m not giving her the space and I want falter by contacting her but I just hope it’s not too far gone. She asked how I was doing 3 weeks ago and I kept it very minimal and respectful, haven’t heard from her since.

How about they are humans with different advice? We are all in this together ....so for me, I listen to people who I resonate with. My Mom was MFCC and she gave me the best advice in regards to finding a therapist . she advised I choose a therapists where I feel safe... heard... understood and one with whom I resonate with. So, the word competitor is a curious choice of words . Thoughts ?

    My ex and I broke up. He got a new gf within 3 weeks. I did no contact straight away. Sent one long email in that time. He came back 2 months later. He said he would change things and did some but not all. Was incredible for a year then I found a message on his phone. Wouldnt explain it and he broke up with me stating ridiculous non important reasons. I didn’t do no contact as he said was taking a break and wanting to stay in contact. It wasn’t proper contact though and made me feel and do insecure things. He has no emotional interest in me any more. Chasing every other woman alive but me. 5 months later I’ve started a strict no contact. Maybe too late but only chance to make him feel something and maybe change

  • @suhridsaha5934
    @suhridsaha5934 2 роки тому +12

      Agreed. Took one of my exes 2 years to realize I was his “person”. Left flowers on my doorstep one day and a card the next. Now he’s ready for marriage and babies…meanwhile I’m still trying to process how 3 years flew by so fast. He said he’s been pining after me the moment we broke up and while with his rebound gf for 2 years. STAY AWAY! Avoidants can rock you to your core. DONT LET THEM. I wish I would’ve known about these things 6 years ago when we started dating. But you live and you learn.

Several times he tried to rekindle our love for a relationship felt used for sex by him. He has been trying to come back to me after failed attempts of rebound relationships. During our past relationship we cheated on each other. I regret it and ask forgiveness. Thought he accept the apology and forgiveness by me but never fully moved on by it.

    2. Breakup in a heavy argument?
    3. Serious trust issues or commitment problems?
    4. Empty relationship?

    I'd like to ask You about my case. Short. We've been togehter for 3,5 year (live together). Brokeup for 9 months. Get back togerher for 6 months. Both was dissapointed and brokeup again. There was a children + family issue. Whe wanted i didnt. When i did was to late. 2 months after brokeup she went to Spain - 2500 km and is there for 3 months. Generally no contact for 30 days. I know she tried to date others but all failed - they dont speak english and she is bit tall and bit muscular spanish guys are bit smaller and mediocre. She is single (live with other girl) in the country where almost nobody speeks english. Lonely for sure. Next week will be her birthday. I want to ask her to try one more time. I dont think small talk will do the job. She needs real arguments to leave Spain because she has her lives there. I know for sure she will be massive depressed that day and after that she will be much better - i know her. Questons: should I ask her at all? Should i ask her in her birthday or after that? Should i ask her small talk way first? I dont belive she will reach me at all or even answer if it is small talk version. She dont even read my smses. She thinks i have a GF and seems she lives in Spain for good. Im sure she is at stage 1. I want someone to love me.
