  • You probably wonder if your stubborn ex even thinks about you since the breakup. The truth of the matter is that they do, even if they won't admit it!

    My ex broke up with me a year and a half ago and after a year and a couple of months of no contact he reached out to apologise for his behaviour during the breakup. Of course I had moved on already, and I have been in a wonderful new relationship for almost a year now. Don't lose hope guys, I thought my ex was one of the most stubborn person alive (and he probably is) but he still managed to forget his pride and reach out.

      Gsi it’s almost a year i broke up with my ex, still no sign from him to contact me first and the worst part is we are working in the same office and he kinda attention seeker in the office. But I will not lower my standards to pay attention to him first unless it’s work related

      in a ldr 3 years relationship + 1 year of friendship. broke up with me 6 months ago. zero signs. no usage of Instagram he no longer sees my stories. no action no signs nothing. I've been in no contact for that long. this is an extreme avoidant isn't it.... it still hurts a lot. is it possible..... for him to reach out....
      it was when cover broke out in march, he got more depressed and couldn't keep up with connecting with me... I have left him alone since and work on myself daily.

    Of course even the most stubborn ex will think of you if they had real feelings for you, but thoughts are not ACTIONS. Unless the ex is ready, willing and able to pursue a healthy relationship w you than all the thoughts in the world won’t make a difference!!

    Id like to share my success story. After nearly 5 months I am back with my ex after he left me for another woman which crumbled after 1 month. We still lived together but were living seperate lives. He finally confessed to me that he never stopped loving me and cried everynight in a hotel room over a picture of me. He said he was too scared to admit it and didn't think he deserved me. I did the work and focussed on bettering myself and he told me that it killed him to see me thriving while he was falling apart. Stay strong.

    Most of the time they are not stubborn. They just don't love you anymore. They don't need you anymore. They are not attracted to you anymore. They just moved on.
    Maybe they will come back, but don't wait. Be the best version of yourself. If they come back and you are a better person and you still want your ex it's a win-win. If not, its still a win. A win for you. For your life. For your future.
    I'm in the same situation. I wish you all the best.

    I have wondered this about my ex of three years. Then I think about people I broke up with.. I think both Craig and Margarets advice is top notch. 15 years ago I dated someone for just one month, and she engulfed me so bad I ran. She even called me at 3 in the morning because she was triggered. I told her she was freaking me out and she stopped, and haven't heard from her since... My point is.. That was an unhealthy relationship and I even think about her from time to time after all this time.. And wonder if I caused her triggers in some way.. Maybe I'm just odd to think of that situation, but I can't help but think, if anyone had a reasonable connection with an ex, the memories will bubble up from time to time.

    Maybe that stubbornness are only healthy boundaries?

She is so ashamed that she ended the relationship and is still standing her ground for dismissing me. Her life has been miserable since she dumped me. With rebounds who have used her. And taking bad advice from friends and family that made things much worse. Meanwhile I have done so much self improvement my value has skyrocketed. While she has probably stayed where she was a year ago. I keep watching this video to stay on track.

    Hi coach Craig. Your videos are great and have helped me so much. Could you do a video on "Peter pan syndrome"? Do guys like this ever get past it? My ex literally calls himself Peter pan and always says he dosen't want to grow up and every so often would say "I never thought I would be in a relationship let alone one for this long. I feel like this is becoming more of a thing amongst men these days. Honestly it is one of the things that attracted me to my ex in the beginning. Neither of us wants kids and don't want the traditional life. We wanted adventures and to travel the world. Things had mostly been good for 10 years. I had only lived in the area we do for about 6 months when we met. We had a great time exploring and him introducing me to new experiences. Over time I feel like he got tired of that and needed me to find my own friends and have separate experieces. But every time I would make a friend he wouldn't like them and I would stop seeing them. A couple of years ago I had a series of injuries and him starting a new business we weren't able to do the things we used to.He broke up with me 4 months ago saying we were growing apart, arguing too much, his business was stressing him out and giving him a lot of anxiety and half of the other excuses I have heard in your videos. He even tried to convince me that it was a mutual split because I wasn't happy either. I just thought we were in another of our cycles and encouraged him to go on a trip or to do something because I felt like he was pulling away from me. But I was also telling him that I needed more from him, like a date night or a trip with just the two of us. We hadn't been on a trip alone together in 2 years and couldn't remember the last time we had a dinner alone that wasn't in front of the tv. We would go through this cycle it seems like every time there was a big life event, a wedding, someone passing away, or a career change but we always worked through it before. He has had a few extended family members passaway in the last few years and we had a few conversations about grieving properly. He told me he was fine and that not showing his feelings is how his whole family deals with their emotions. In fact the only time I have seen him cry (I mean shead a few tears) is at his aunt's funeral(she passes away a year ago) and when he broke up with me. Which has been twice, this time and 5 years ago. The first time we were broken up it was for less than 24 hours. I went no contact after the first month or so and reached out after a month. We have had a couple of dinners since and the chemistry is still very strong and we've had a great time. He said he had a hard time when I wasn't reaching out and had obviously lost a lot of weight. We kissed at the end of the last dinner, then he pulled away again. He reached out recently to talk and have some drinks, I was excited but tried to not get my hopes up..but it turned out to be to see if we would be okay going to a mutual friends party. We talked about relationship stuff a little and I eventually asked him that now that it's been a few months if he could tell me why the breakup when we obviously have so much attraction and chemistry? He said he is confused and is trying to figure out what kind of relationship he wants. He also said that he has been feeling much better about the breakup since we have been seeing each other again. (My guess is seeing me eased the pain for him) I was his first real relationship at 27 and we are both now 38. I assume this is the real reason, the lack of experience and getting older. One other factor of the breakup I feel was hanging out with a younger crowd for the last two years that have a variety of relationship styles (open, swinger) and more partying go on. We lived on a boat which fosters a party lifestyle and he would have people over till way too late and I have a job where that doesn't work for me and he seemed to not have much respect for me at that point, which is what was one of causes the arguments. I don't mind a certain level of partying but I needed him to be respectful of my schedule. As for the different types of relationships, I feel like he maybe has interest in exploring other things but he is unable to talk about it. I told him he needs to reflect on our relationship and to take the time and space he needs to figure out what he wants from a relationship, however I might not be around when he does. He wants us to be friends and I said there was no way. I'll be civil and friendly if we are at the same event. We were fine at the party and even caught him staring at me a few times. As for now I'm back to no contact and think I'm going to take your advice on a 9 month probation and start seeing a local therapist. I also wouldn't mind getting your opinion on what my chances are. Thank you and coach Margaret for all your hard work and great advice! And please feel free to us my story for a video. :)

    My very stubborn ex who broke up with me called me randomly last week after just near 2 months of no contact (broke up in June contact was in august), to tell me he saw me and that I looked beautiful and that he wanted to say hi. I said that wasn’t me as I was in a different place at the time. We spoke a little he asked about my family and I asked about his, we cracked a few jokes, it was light and then he had to go as he was meeting his friends. It’s been a week now and nothing after this. I don’t know what to make of it!

    It is my personal opinion that Stubbornnesses comes from Ego and Ego derives from fear….fear to be seen by others as weak or lacking good qualities and capacities that makes these people desirable.
    The majority of times in this type of situation it when you have a relationship of this nature …it is better TO WALK AWAY…and let this other person to reflect alone and to self evaluate her/his feelings and decide if they are willing to comunícate to continue the relationship.

      Check your current doings and not-doings. Are you actively working on yourself, trying to improve your life, setting goals for yourself, pushing yourself to live new experiences, learning about your attachments styles? If you are doing this, then you should not worry about how long it takes to 'forget'. Sometimes deep connections take really long to take the back bench in our minds. It has been year and a half for me, and I made peace with the idea of not ever hearing back from her, though feelings are still there. Unfinished business type. I know people that still think of certain ex of years ago. It is common. There is no secret, nothing wrong with longing for a lost love, as long as you KEEP LEARNING AND LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE NOW. Because, longing or not, nobody will bring us back this very moment. It goes quick, please, go out and take advantage of it. Trust in life, there is a reason why you have to live this right now. Be positive, be the best version of yourself you can possibly be, and the rest will sort out itself. You can do this!

    But after a few months passed, she began to change, she does not really exited to see me, took her a vew hours to reply my simple msg while, even she come up with new rule, she only want to see me once a week, i cant come to her new work place, and she dont want me to blend with her friend, i love her so i agree with her rule, but one day, i visit her house, i feel a sudden urge wanting to see her phone, she took a shower and i take the chance to see her phone, and then i caught her cheated and planing to sleep with random guy, i was shoocked and sad, i didnt get mad to her, instead i tell her why are you doing this? Am i do something bad ? Shes crying and asking me to forgive her, i forgive her and give her another chance, then a few month passed, she did the same thing again, and when i check on her phone again, she did the same thing but this time with some dudes not only one, short after i smile to her and say "im sorry if after all this time im not good enough for you, im sorry if i ever did bad things that i dont realize to you" then i left her, i tried to forget what she did to me by unfollowing her instagram for a while, then she proceed to blocked me instead, i only hope someday she realize that i trully love her and i want her to be a success woman

    Hi Craig and others who might want to give me their opinion 🙈 My boyfriend left me 7 months ago after a 5 years long relationship. He said that he wants to focus on himself and his life. I lived there about a month before I could move to another city.
    We didnt talk for awhile but then he reached out, said that he is lonely and would like to see me. We have been seeing each other for couple of months now. Sometimes he has been very distant and sometimes he has even driven all the way here to my place. He has not wanted to commit though.
    Two days ago he said that he has to end this. He doesnt want to give me false hope and said that he doesnt see us being together in the future. He also said that he still loves me. I said that I respect his choice and that I love him too. I havent texted him after that.
    Ive made personal growth my number one priority and realise that if I would be given a new chance, I would not be ready. Im too anxious, depressed and insecure. I need to find a way to love myself first and its going to be a long and hard journey.
    But do you guys think I could get that new chance in the future? :(

So... after she messaged me... Asking if I was okay. If I needed help. And if I wanted to talk. I cried because the apparent supposed "care" overwhelmed me... I wouldn't have been able to talk to her if I wanted to at the time. I figured sleeping for a while would help calm me down...after I woke up I found that after her "care" she threw a few more rocks... closed the door and blocked me again...😔 Ever since January last year...I never stood my ground to stop this treatment... so this time I have. She can't open the door throw rocks at me and just shut the door again...I counter blocked her on everything... I pray that she heals from this and lets go of the hurt. When she messaged me I didn't reply because my current situation is in no way suitable for us to come back together again...once things are better on my end I will undo the blocks on my end...and what she does after that is up to her...😌🙏 I had been maintaining No Contact since end of January... but did not reply recently because I could tell by her casual insults towards me that she was trying to provoke a response out of me...I counter blocked her to maintain and reinforce No Contact... My prayer is that she becomes more civil and unblocks me everywhere...while at the same time my situation improves... I was not interested in talking to her...just to have her block me again...😔 oh and by the way... this was a long distance relationship... I am in Kansas... she lives 90 minutes away from Rio De Janeiro Brazil... Emotionally speaking... I greatly miss her...and I pray that it changes one day...😌🙏

    How can I bounce from this last text If I decided I wanted to reestablish communication?
    She cheated and wouldn’t admit it.
    “After everything we’ve been through. After all the love and tears and heartache and makeups my love for you grew so deep. There were so many red flags that I ignored because I wanted to believe in your potential instead of what I saw.
    From your history to how you interacted with other men while we were together, I saw this coming. We fought so much BECAUSE of you.
    Sure, we shared sweet times and I want to believe those were real, but I never felt as close as I should have to you. You always kept me at arms length and kept me guessing. I should have walked away before it started but I desperately wanted to figure you out.
    After 7 months (and the day of our 7 month anniversary) you went out, partied without me, and slept at another guy’s apartment. That is cheating. Whether you had sex or not doesn’t matter, you were secretive and disloyal to me. And you STILL want to lie to my face.
    I’m not coming at you to call you names or fight with you, I’m being honest one last time.
    I would have given you the world, Jaci.
    I would have grown through my issues and been the best man to you a woman could ask for.
    We could have been nurses together.
    We could have traveled the world together.
    But you opted out too soon.
    Or just at the right time depending on how you look at it.
    Maybe God knew you don’t deserve me.
    Either way, I wish you the best and forgive you.

Even if he will for some or other reason wanted to make contact, I wouldnt want, because if he can make a married women leave her husband, wish was like I see a much beter version than my ex.

Lately though some anonymous person has been watching all my stories on social media and I suspect it's her with a fake account, but I haven't cared anymore nor have I reached out. I'm doing a lot better because of Craig and my friends and family.

      @@michellel245 don't count the time, just go with the time. This period is not about your ex, it's about you and finding yourself. Whoever else is out there that's meant to find you on your journey, they will, whether it's your ex, or someone else completely unexpected. Invest in yourself and trust the process and if you wana talk, coz talking helps alot, you're more than welcome to lean on me, or anybody else willing to listen and to give you good advice. There are more than enough people on these platforms who can empathise and understand, coz somehow, we're all here coz we have that same pain in common..

    Wait, So giving it another chance and trying to work it out again was her idea and not his.....? Pretty sure she should have waited to see if he brought it up
