      Going through a similar issue but a bit different. We've been together for 3 years (LDR). We've seen each other twice and had a great relationship overall. I was a bit insecure and needy because of the situations in her country, the lack of Internet so on. She was coming to the UK around January. Everything was smooth but like I said we had lack of interaction which was causing me to be anxious. However, because of my arguments she partially blocked me. Then sent a 35 minutes worth voice message telling me it's finished and I won't hear from her again. Despite that I wrote emails begging her to stay etc, she didn't give in and said Never again. It's been almost 2 weeks now and I don't even see the No contact a solution as she's too stubborn. Wish she could change her mind, I wanna work on myself but honestly love her to bits.

      @@spiritualrituals9603 It's hard when your emotions are wrapped-up. But don't worry. Either she will come back, or you will meet someone nice in your neighborhood, not a foreign land with no internet! LDR is often a way for us to avoid confronting reality.

    I dated a dismissive avoidant for a year, and he just broke up with me a few weeks back. I was initially reaching out, doing all the bad things you speak about, Coach Craig. LOL but I stopped, he reached out after only a few days. I still had some of his things and he had my house key, so I went to drop them off to him yesterday. What an eye-opener that was! He was so rude, cold, and disrespectful... That he suddenly became completely unattractive to me. I'm working on my anxious attachment style, and my self, overall, and this only made me realize that he is not the one for me. It's true, just stay and no contact, for yourself, and most likely you won't even want this person back for various reasons. Thank you guys, for all your fantastic videos. Therapy, and you, are helping me get through this difficult but expansive time!

    Guys, I really think that I will have a good chance with my ex, even though I haven't heard from her since our last contact. I've had a couple of Skypes with Craig and have been working on the the workbooks AT LEAST 30 minutes a day. Both were/have been super helpful and insightful! Book a Skype with either or both Craig and Vicky if you can afford it. At the very least, get those workbooks! Until my opportunity comes, I am gonna keep working my ass off! Even when I have moments of weakness, I remind myself that I was never a bad partner to her and that sooner or later (even if she has to see another guy or two to see it) she is going to revisit the idea of giving me another chance. I don't know when its gonna come but I don't care, I am gonna blow this woman away! Stay motivated and stay positive guys! You WILL be a success story. You are not alone on this journey. Let's do this, one day at a time. 💪💪💪

      @@dylanmatipa136 Trust me, I respect myself plenty. Just because I wasn't a bad partner, doesn't mean I don't have flaws or that I didn't do things that led to the breakup. Especially since she did tell me about things that I would have to change, otherwise she couldn't keep up with the relationship, and I didn't. A few dates doesn't equate to being intimate with someone, lol. Even if that was the case, its not like I wasn't with people before I got with her but that didn't make her love me any less or our bond any weaker.
      She wasn't a bad partner to me either and stayed with me for as long as she did, despite my lack of motivation to change the things I needed to so we could move forward together. Everyone has the right to make the decision for themselves, which I respect. Also, its because I know my value, what I bring to the table and that I'm not shallow or an asshole, that I know she will compare them to me more than likely and thats not a bad thing. If she even finds someone before revisiting getting back with me. We are both young and have been together for 4 years. Neither of us are perfect but we had an amazing relationship and connection, even up to the day before the breakup (and even somewhat after.) I have made my intentions clear, and told her that I can't be just friends with her and have told her also not to settle for what she doesn't want. If things don't work out with her at the end of the day, I'm okay with that, as hard as it right now. I'm focused on me, my healing, my personal growth and fixing my own issues right now. I'm not gonna use another person to make myself feel better or get over her. Thats pretty fucked up. If it happens organically, sure. Even if I did, that person that I moved on to could be with someone else at this very moment, yet I wouldn't let that bother me or stop me from getting with them.
      But hey, I'm not gonna say that you don't have a right to express your opinion.

      @dakota cole I love this response and your mindset in your break up… your not bashing your ex and your recognizing your flaws as well. No one’s perfect at the end of the day!!! I hope you and your ex get back together and because of all this and you working on yourself, I hope that your relationship will be stronger then ever and you both will be a better you for each other. I jam going through the same thing I’m a way except I’m married but had caught mg husband reaching out to girls sexually on social medias also back in Aug I had kicked him out cuz I found out the previous Dec he had hooked up with a girl he knew 2 different times. We have been together for 7 years and married for a little over 6. I am his longest relationship and only marriage and we both are in our middle 30s… my husband has cheated on every girl he has ever been with… it’s safe to say he has a sex addiction. We still are talking not being affectionate at all but are going to marriage counseling and he starts therapy soon for the problem he has. I can sit here and bash him for what he did but I love him and he’s willing to get the help and is trying and to me I think that’s great!!! He helps me still pay for stuff he comes over and we hang out I don’t see him everyday but we text and talk throughout the day. I’m hoping to get our connection back cuz we are amazing together so when you talk about the love you and you ex had, I totally get it!!!! I just wanted to say that the way you talked about your ex and you recognizing your flaws as well… I had to say something!!! Keep it up workin on yourself and trust me just by the response you had if I can see how mature and awesome you are and not even know you at all then your ex def will be able to see that!!! I wish you good luck with everything and I’m rooting for you both!!!!

    I’m in a similar situation where the father of my children cheated on me and left me for someone new. I am in the same boat where I am certain that he won’t come back, and I’m still worried about him being gone for good even though he betrayed me. And when I had my Skype with Victoria she also made this observation for me. My ex seems happier with this new girl. We broke up in August and they’ve been living together for two months now. I know it doesn’t seem that long, but to me it seems like his new relationship will never end. I can’t wait to be where this man is after I do the work, self confidence wise.

    3 years not a word from my ex. Yet her sister stayed following me on instagram the whole time, scouting info if she needed it. Well i totally upgraded my appearance. The past three years were spent fixing my anxiety’s and fears, learning about what my mental issues are. 4 months ago i moved across the country, and posted tons of gorgeous photo’s of my adventures along the way. The sisters attention was grabbed by my most recent post and she finally un-followed me. Makes me wonder what went through her head😂🤭😮. I believe they both thought i would always be there, waiting. I hope they at least learned something from the experience.

I'd stick with no contact still and not reach out but at the very least it shows you that she is thinking about you. Hopefully sooner or later, she'll text you (most likely with an indirect direct approach, haha.) Until then, keep working on yourself and your emotional self control.

Its an excuse to contact you. Don't be too eager to respond or overexcited to talk about your feelings. Wait a good while to respond, maybe until the next day.
