  • To book a private coaching call with Coach Ken:
    realcoachken.com/ . Remembering the negative aspects of a previous relationship is an often neglected or unknown vital factor in making No Contact actually work. It's always tempting to focus on only the positive memories, acknowledging the negative aspects provides valuable insights and lessons that shape our understanding of healthy relationships. It also helps us regain a sense of self worth while lessening the feeling that tells us who we just lost is irreplaceable. It locks us into thinking we're the loser and they're the lucky one. None of which makes it easier to project confidence and the resilience needed to trigger a sense of loss of need to re-examine the end of the relationship in the one who walked away. Seeing the negative also helps us to establish healthier boundaries, recognize red flags, and make wiser choices in our subsequent relationships. Remembering the negatives acts as a powerful reminder of our own worth, ensuring that we do not settle for less than we deserve. Additionally, it empowers us to learn from past mistakes, foster personal growth, and cultivate resilience, ultimately leading to more fulfilling and sustainable relationships in the long run.

      it was worst 35 years ago in 1988 the hurting man was treated like a predator or was told to make it work at all costs which often brought destruction to the man. they also used religion to tell men the bible tells them to do this or do that. things were way worse before the information age.

      The worship isn't a bad thing, unless it's true, that the person has values empathy and is like a source of inspiration for the partner, or family members.
      For example may have the talent to say interesting things in a poetic way as musicians do or authors, and poets do.
      which boosts the imagination of people in a positive way, like seeing good stuff about life or about art etc.
      But maybe the best way is to show empathy as well and good energy and gratitude in modest way.

    Have made the, "put on a pedestal/worship" mistake twice in my adult life; never even got to relationship stage and still ended up heart broken. Am disabled, so I think that's what set me up for this mistake. Dark limerence is a real thing. Truly, NO ONE is perfect!

    • @CoachKen
      @CoachKen  10 місяців тому +7

      Amen! Funny thing is one powerful aspect of attraction is KNOWING you have a purpose and meaning beyond that other person. We're built for relationships, so it is normal to feel a sense of something missing when we aren't with someone sharing our lives (unless pain, fear or narcissism makes us WANT to be alone) - but being wired for relationship doesn't mean that ONE person can or should be our foundational source of purpose. Something more worthy of our lives has to be there. A Passion or Purpose or a Calling that's even greater than who we are is the best foundation. I love my wife very very much. I love my kids and my parents and my sister and my brother with all my heart - BUT none of them are the PURPOSE of my life - I believe in God and from long personal and even painful experience I've learned if I put me or anything above Him it always breaks in the end. No human being is capable of being the purpose of another human beings life - that's worship, and as flattering as it might sound, being worshipped isn't an attraction builder as much as its an ego stroke to the person who will then devalue you for placing them so high above you. (Sorry if I rambled a bit here)

      @@CoachKen no need to apologize for rambling, needed to be reminded of all of this. Hard to zero in on what your purpose is when you have significant mobility issues, but obviously, I know I have a purpose (maybe more than one:) So easy to forget what your spiritual foundation is when you get caught up in your emotions. I think I might be one of those people you mentioned who are above average in intelligence (intellectually), but lack emotional intelligence. I tend to think in extremes in EI, if that makes sense. Not everything is EITHER/OR. There can be a lot of GRAY areas when it comes to sorting out feelings. Thanks again for your wisdom!

      Yes I have put her on a pedestal, and actually she broke up with me for reasons I have never heard her communicate during the relationship, just random things like "you are not a leader to me". I think she has BPD , but still I loved her so deeply anyway, I swear everytime I see her there's an artery in my heart that shakes. I have put her on a pedestal for too long, and All i got from her is disrespect and a total negligence of my feelings. Imagine that she found someone else so quickly, I wanted closure so I told her to come visit me in my house, and I was thinking maybe I can change her mind, but she informs me that she's with someone else and it was 2 days after my breakup. She ended things with me said she's sorry but doesn't see a future. After our breakup conversation, she slept in the room next to me and called her new boyfriend in my own house. The next day, I kicked her out of my house, and I told her that she shouldn't have come if she's with someone else that quickly. I was shocked and hurt, her total disregard for what I felt for her was shocking

      I just got broken up with after 5 months too. We knew about eachothers pasts and I did so much to respect her past and her issues. I have some issues as well and sometimes like to check in to make sure nothing is wrong when I tend to over think. Well I asked if anything was wrong and it blew up. She ended it then and there. She said we were not a match. Which made no sense. Any time we were physically together, even multiple days in a row, there was NO ISSUES. Nothing, not even a tiny disagreement. We got along so damn well and felt so happy. Then poof. It was like I was less than nothing. She went NC with me last week. I am sure I have lost any chance of getting her to come around. But I am just going to have to force myself to stay NC as well. This is rough.

    He ended our relationship 6 weeks ago. I've been in NC. Dated 14 months. Had a great relationship. Things did become routine. Looking back now, I see he pocketed me. The only people on his side that knew about me was his mother. We did not have any arguments or bad blood between us. I'm angry because I was giving so much to the relationship and I see he was not. I was never needy or clingy. He had his life and I had mine. He knew how hurt I was about how a precious ex ended our relationship and ended our the same way and makes me so angry. Some days it take everything to keep from calling him and telling him off. If anyone should have lost attraction, it should have been me. Somehow, I still miss him. Either way, I know to stay in NC. I know going off on him will only be temporary relief.

    This is a very good video. My relationship ended 3,5 months ago. It had only lasted 5 months and was pure limerence. One evening I asked her if everything was okay and she said that she had been feeling less in love with me as of late. So I calmly but immediately packed my stuff and left her, without a sad and pointless breakup conversation (keeping my pride and hoping she would miss me). I went into no contact pretty soon after that. I never begged, but I did measure the temperature a few times in the first week after the breakup. Since then, I stuck wth no contact, even though I've been missing her like hell for the last three months. It's insane how much I think of her even though I'm trying not to. I've lost all hope by now, which is a good thing, and now I'm starting to understand that even if we would get back together, I would probably be paranoid and expecting her to lose her feelings for me again. And I would never want to feel like that in a relationship, not for myself and not for her. So that's a thought that's sort of sobering me up these days. But yeah, I've definetly been going through 'dark limerence' for quite a while now. And it sucks!!! I wish I just had some more shallow feelings, that would make life a lot easier.

I’m still working on it though but it has helped be to get back to reality when I tend to get in my feels again. You will soon realize that the perfect person who you though he/she is, was just an imagination that you created in your head because you wanted it to work. You just have to let your feelings feel through and focus on why you’re feeling a certain about their being as a whole.

    I also had a different ex contact me. She has been going to therapy for 2 years. She apologized to me for being unwilling to admit she is wrong. She apologized for not caring about my perspective and for being anxious and assuming the worst. I also apologized to her for what i did wrong. Many of my actions brought out her anxious style of attachment.

I had a list of things he did and I thought it made me more sad and I threw it away but looking back to that time, I actually was better than I am now with my heartbreak. Thanks so much. Yes I want him back, yes I've worked on myself so much but yes, I want to stop feeling this emotional pain I feel I'm causing myself. ❤️ Thank you for this!!!!

      Wish I had known about this BEFORE I wrote the letter. Now I don't know if I have a chance. It is very complicated because he already posted " in a relationship" and is my neighbor with cattle on my farm. We have known each other for over 40yrs together for 7. He broke up with me 2 x previously very early when we dating came back the first time and I had a "talk" with him the second time and now is 7yrs later

    She's been gone for three years and I'm still having problems letting go. I have seen countles videos on the subject. This was the most practical and helpful . Having is not so great a thing as wanting. Mr. Spock said that in the episode "Amok Time" The reality is that we weren't good for each other. Thanks for your logic

    "People don't want to risk feeling less hurt because they think all that hurt is keeping me connected." That is deep. And pretty much describes most breakups. I'm on here for my daughter who is going through stuff. She's much stronger than I ever was. She's doing no contact with a long-distance ex that went right into a relationship with someone who is not on her level.

    You are speaking truth you definitely have to know who you were with and who you are with we all mistakes. Everyone needs to have boundaries if you don’t things will not work out because the issue will cycle back again. I’m going through the situation right now and I learned a lot by watching her instead of calling her out I’ve allowed for her to form a defense mechanism when she is wrong she know what it is and she tend to get back in her she’ll because she don’t believe in accountability but at the same time she feels bad that’s on her that’s the main reason I don’t contact her because even though I have issues that need to be worked on I still believe she was petty by ending it. I then have told her why all her expectations wasn’t met she had high expectations of me and saw me as a high valued man which we all are if we remember who we are. That’s the reason why I haven’t given up on her because she don’t know I am working on my financial crisis something I don’t want to burden her with.
    Our last conversation helped us realize we have to work on ourselves she want me to get right and I want her to see that I’ve been protecting her from her clients and family because she do run a business helping out the elderly and them retired old men with money and status love her. I had to deal with one that was consistently inviting my girl to watch a concert in a yacht I’m thinking to myself I’m a rehabilitated thug which never made it prison I only made it to booking. What can I offer my wife even though I’m not married to her I considered her my wife the moment I met her. Now with her obsessed strange cousin being miserable and wanting all the attention from the women in the family in other words the one that encourages the women in the family to leave their husbands so they could have their hot girl summer I’m not dumb.
    We all have examples in our lives from the moment we are born i so happen to grow up with aunts cousins and sisters that played the same position being knowledgeable will not allow me to go through what I seen and even though the outcome might be different what are the chances of me not being a victim as far as being cheated on. Now I’m going through our first month of being broken up after three weeks of being ghosted what messes me up she said I’m a good man but not for her but that text wasn’t written by her and I know this because I know how she text her grammar isn’t correct even with auto correct she don’t use commas nor periods as me right now because I’m typing. I normally proof read everything I send out and she always using harsh words like mother you na mean. This text had mixed emotions written all over it.
    Lewis I thought I was being negative by thinking of all her cons and even though her pros are greater the cons are heavy but we are not perfect. Thanks for confirming I’m on the right path. Now I have more time to work on myself nor have to feel like I’m second or last and once her and I link up the boundaries we had when we first met will have some realistic once. At first I didn’t care about her and her circle until I noticed her circle was benefiting from her I’m putting that to a stop she is not a bank her cousin definitely going to hold a lost as well I’m waiting for her to screw up which she already is. Her passive aggressive narcissistic ways has been spotted and it’s only a matter of time before she reveals her true intentions.

    Coach Ken is brilliant! I think I'm going to book a call. I feel like my situation is confusing. She truly did NOTHING wrong. She was only kind, gentle, creative (artist and crafter and amazing cook) giving, and waited 4 years for ME. I was addicted (only have 23 days clean as of this post and am attending NA regularly) and probably fearful avoidant. Love-Push-Pull has been my pattern all my life, and when they finally leave "for reals" the pain is unbearable. I am not, and never have been abusive, not a cheater, and we've had incredible experiences together and a lot of love. NOW I'm 60
    A fit, athletic 60 but still 60. She was the best I've ever had. Like Ken is saying, I feel like she kind of honored me TOO MUCH, and didn't need to. I honored her and encouraged her too - with her health and fitness, and to take up her watercolor painting again for example. She implicitly initiated no contact 25 days ago and I feel like I'm dying inside. She stopped following and liking my uploads on Strava (bike rides, walks, workouts, etc). I'm still following her and have her favorited but an afraid to like any of her activities, as she could block me. I don't want her to block me. I do need to stop looking at her Facebook. It's hard! But it actually makes me feel worse. I'm glad Zuckerberg designed Facebook so it is not possible to see who's looking at your profile. Although it did cross my mind that she's probably excluded me from seeing her posts, or some of them. I miss her terribly. I feel like she's THE only person on this planet that can take away my pain, and she fkng won't do it! I was also layed off my job 3 months ago and haven't taken anything yet - but I'm only semi-functional right now. Some days are better. Today, weirdly, has been the worst since day 1. And I wonder if I'm being vilified too - like I'm a horrible person. I'm not! I'm really fkn tired and spent.

    Never heard of dark limmerance before but you are so right. I’m adhd and stuck in trauma mode from going through a lot of trauma over the past few years. I broke up with him but didn’t try to work it out and regretted it within a day or two. Now I want to try to work it out because there are so many good things about us. But I have to keep telling myself there’s a reason I broke up with him in the first place…but then he said he was through. (I probably traumatized him with an out of the blue break up) think the best thing to do will be no contact for a month or two then try to hang out slowly in a friendly way and see how I feel and how he feels.

The pain was unbearable. Your video gave me some clearance and perspective. I really worshipped her although i didnt realized it. But then it is my fault eventually? I drove her away i saw it in her eyes when she kist me goodbye, there was pain. Thank you for this video. I wish anyone in this same situation all the strength en power to pull true.
