    Happy to say that because of your videos I am now in a position where my ex is no longer my ex. We both agreed to start a new relationship. I was able to apply better techniques towards creating a positive environment for her to be in while around me, as well as being able to control the desperate voice in my head that wanted to beg & bargain our relationship back.
    It was a 2 month break-up, and I believe that because I spent the time working on myself and applying your teachings, I was able to achieve these results in such a short time (although if I'm being honest it felt like an eternity).
    I will continue to watch your videos and work on our relationship.

      @@jessepushor9967 things didn't last long at all, and at the time it felt terrible, but I know that I did my best. I was in a place where I felt everything hinged on me, but the reality of it is that my feelings for her made me believe her when she blamed the relationship shortcomings on me, when really she was the one incapable of being in a stable relationship.
      She came and left me several times over the course of a few months. Eventually I became so tired of the patterns that I could predict when she wanted to have a "talk" and say we weren't meant to be. By this time I felt absolutely no shock anymore over it.
      Point being... as well as you do for yourself to improve yourself, your partner isn't always as perfect as your feelings tell you they are, and you'll never feel good enough for yourself if you let your ex set up what your standards should be.
      Funny enough... She has since been in a relationship with a guy she was friends with before me, who was always bitter towards me, always wildly inappropriate when he's drunk. He's overweight, a long-time alcoholic, a chronic weed smoker, and has a reoccurring history of self-harm.
      I'm not perfect, but I know my worth, and compared to him I'm a total catch. So again, I can't stress enough that you have to live by your own standards to be happy.
      I've since dated good people and have obstained from entering an official relationship (for a time) to have more time for myself. currently taking my time working on a new relationship, but still sometimes I miss being single because of how much I learned to enjoy doing things for and by myself.
      If you're going through what I felt ( I'll never forget how it was), I sincerely hope you come out better. I regret giving her the chance to pummel me, but I've learned a lot from it. I hope you can say the same for yourself when it's all said and done.
      Cheers.

    I literally have no tears left to cry. One week since he left. I found out he's seeing someone else 😢
    Tired of crying. I literally feel exhausted from begging and pleading. Drank myself stupid last night on an empty stomach as I haven't been able to eat for days . My system immediately rejected the alcohol and I'm now extremely hung over . I am done chasing. Yes I have my flaws but I did not deserve this. I treated him like a king and his actions has completely shocked me including everyone we know.
    I have now decided to keep the little bit of dignity I have left and work towards healing.

      Drinking only made me feel worse because that was the time i wanted to call her the most. I was not treated well by her, she broke every one of my boundaries. When she broke our engagement off, she blamed it on how i treated her when i was angry with her. Sure, fair point: but why was I so angry with her? Because she kept crossing my boundaries over and over. She refused to take any blame, and that one sided shit is not what i need in my life. I want someone to work with me as a team, not me being their puppy dog.

    Dear Coach Craig,
    I think I was unintentionally abusive sometimes in my seven years relationship, she broke up with me last January 26th over a fight and that day also I tried to drag her to my vehicle when she refused to go out with me, I know I messed up big time, ever since the break up I begged and pleaded and even showed up at her work place. Did all the wrong things, but from March 19th on wards I was properly in no contact, I was in no contact before from Feb 19th to March 7th, I lost my control on March 7th since it was my birthday, she didn't wish me so I got so emotional and went needy again and asked for another chance and she ended up blocking my number. But now I'm planning on doing no contact properly this time, do you see any chance for me in the future with her, I love this girl so much.

No response though after I text him after missing the call. My question or video request is why if they don't want anything to do with me at this time is, why am I left on READ?

It makes it that much tougher, when I'm not speaking to her at all during no contact. I wonder if she's OK, healthy and of sound mind?

    My ex and I agreed that he could only stop by Tuesday nights (while I'm at work) to drop off mail.
    2x now 2 weeks apart (both on Thursday nights) he has stopped by to drop off mail. He leaves it inside the house b/c he still has a key. I was not home either time b/c I had plans.
    I have been in NC since the breakup and am honestly killing it at life! He doesn't text or leave a note, just the mail.

  • @asteriamoon1817
    @asteriamoon1817 4 роки тому

    Hey Coach.
    Could you possibly do a video about your ex dumping you in the heat of an argument. We were fighting and he went onto social media and broke up with me and I know when people are angry in the moment, they are not really thinking logically.
    I've done well with no contact. I deleted social media, because being tempted to stalk him only prolongs the pain. I'm three weeks into no contact. He messaged me one at two weeks and only said 'how come you haven't texted me at all? ' I didn't answer, because he knows the reason. Haven't heard anything since, but we were realy good together and the fight just made him react and dump me. So a video on breaking up while in the middle of a fight would he cool. I know he wasn't planning ahead on breaking up with me. I'm actually over the worst pain, but right now, I'm so angry. I feel it in my bones.

      Something similar happened between me and my ex. We argued she got out of the car and I left. I was frustrated so I texted her, saying wanted to be single and that she didn’t seem happy in our relationship. She replied with an angry message and blocked me all together. I begged and it didn’t work so 3 weeks ago I went nc. She is a stubborn woman so I don’t think it will make a difference that we where together for a year and a half. We had great chemistry but she is always bringing up my past and thinks I cheat on her or will cheat on her. I have not cheated on her or would cheat on her. In fact it’s been 3 months since the breakup and won’t even consider seeing anyone else because I love her. Two weeks ago she unblocked me from fb. A week ago she sends me a message asking me to delete our pictures together because we are not together. I replied okay and complied with her request. Only God knows what will happen, but work on your self and something good will come out of the breakup...

      find something fun to do that you know is one of her interests and casually say you have a spare ticket/seat etc because someone else cancelled on you, dont let on that you planned for her to come. Give her around 2 weeks notice if its a big event that would need a day or most of a day to do. IF she agrees to go it would be a good chance to hang out casually gauge her interest and be a bit flirty/cheeky and see how she responds. If positive say your going to grab a drink afterwards, imply that shes welcome to join you.
      depending on what she does will show how interested she is in getting back together. if she seems unsure or pulls away a bit let her go and give her space to reflect. possibly go no contact again for a few weeks.
      If she doesnt agree to go (seems hesitant, says shes busy etc) say you'll ask someone else and let it go.

I did beg and plead for 2 days after the breakup, but no more after that. The last I talked to her was about 2 months ago. We haven't spoken since. I feel like she's never gonna reach out to me ever again. (The relationship was good. We handled things maturely, her family treated me like their own. It was good. Everything was.) I pushed her away because I wasn't changing and I didn't see the problem. I see her at school, lunch, between classes, etc. She seems fine. Should I use the No Contact rule? Even if I'm in High school? Do I have a chance?

    My ex is rebounding, she said that I was too good for her and she said that I deserved better and she thought that she puts a lot of stress on me and I told her no she is not. And then she said "You deserve better. I'm sorry." The next day she told me that our relationship isn't working out. But just a week later or something, she's talking to this new guy and I made a mistake of contacting her and saying that she doesn't mean what she says. She told me that we wanna be with each other for a long time, and she said if we ever get into an argument, that does not mean we're breaking up, and even if we do she won't allow it. I felt really good after she said that because I wanted to be with her. Also she said if we don't end up in the future together, she will not date and she's gonna adopt kids and buy a dog. But nope, I told her that she doesn't mean what she says and she told me not say that, I didn't discuss that further because I didn't want to get her stressed out even more, but I was pretty angry but I didn't show my "sensitive" feelings towards her, so she likes this new motherf*cking guy and she said she was loyal.... and I don't think loyal people moves on this quickly. Remember that this happened a week after our break up.... I would take her back if she is still interested in me, but as of right now I'm applying the NC rule and I just hope for the best.

      If it was I and I wanted the relationship back , I would say I'm not intrested in just a friendship only , I have only romantic intrest. Call me if you change your mind and walk and never look back. Make sure you work on yourself to be a better you. Working out , communication skills, loving yourself being happy with who you are.

    I was the rebound in a relationship that lasted 9 months, she dumped me for her ex who had cheated her, there is a chance to get her back?

      You don’t wanna be with someone that goes back to their cheating ex...

      Cheating is a no....don't accept cheaters...they will do it to everyone. You're not special. They have the problem. You cant fix it for them. Believe me., I was involved with one. You deserve better.
