Sunnydaze_and_Ruby Xx same situation, I originally ignored her but then changed that to indifference, saying hello or smiling and keeping it moving. Eventually she reached out and now we are back seeing each other but I feel more in control of the situation and still keep my options open (dating other people)

[@nickbarbosa21]

I realize this was a while ago but i am in the exact same situation. We go to the same gym, and i work there. To make it worse, we are all wearings masks so I can’t see her real facial expression when seeing me. We see each other almost every week. She smiles under the mask and waves. We broke up 4 months ago in June, and she has contacted me in some way every single month since then (including for my birthday last month). All through text tho, never in person. Last time she did it (on my birthday) i left her on read. I didn’t wanna play her game anymore. I have a coaching scheduled with rory next Tuesday. Her birthday is Wednesday. Im not sure what to do AT ALL. Hopefully he will clarify stuff for me. Hopefully me leaving her on read wasn’t a terrible idea. Sad to see 4 different reach outs since the break up and no reconciliation :/

Thank you. Came right on time. I am on day 8 of NC and I am struggling so badly. I miss him soo much and the thoughts are extremely obsessive. I begged and pleaded for a whole long month and guess what, he was dismissive, rude and lacked regard. I know reaching out does NOT work because all it had done is make me depressed, lose self respect, devalued me and I am still heartbroken and alone. Can you believe I even apologiesed for things I know I didn't do just to get him to change his mind 😔🙆🏽‍♀️. Ladies and gents, please listen to Rory as he is 1 million percent right.

[@myownpeace]

I see a lot of comments about how to do no contact if you have a child/children together and I'd like to give my thoughts based on my own experience. I usually contact (via text) my ex 2-3 days in advance with "Hey! I was wondering if I could pick up (child's name) at such and such time" and that's basically it, no emotion and staight to the point. ONLY contact them when you want to see or talk to your kids. Nothing else about no contact changes. DO NOT, argue about the child, DO NOT speak negatively about your ex to the child and DO NOT use the child to manipulate the situation REGARDLESS of their actions. At this point your relationship with your child is more important than the relationship you lost. Not only can you use NC to become the best version of youself, you can use it to become the best mom/dad for your child. Hope this helps and I know it's hard, and I know it hurts but you gotta be twice as strong, for you and your kids.

It’s been almost a month that he broke up with me, at the beginning I would text and call crying like 3 times, he kept telling me that he was there for me no matter what and that he wanted us to be friends. The last time I called him I told him at the end that I don’t want to talk or see him anymore, I asked him to please stop reaching out to me and he agreed. More than a week has passed and I made the mistake of sending him a video of me singing a song to his email, then send him another email with a text about compatibility (the reason that he left me) and today I had severe anxiety and called him because he was always the person I would call for help, he didn’t pickup the phone or send me a message like he used to do the first times after the breakup. I feel kind of stupid now for breaking the no contact like that, I regret it and now I have to start from 0. I’m really going to make it this time and come to this video when I feel like breaking it again. Thanks for the good videos.

We don’t belong together because it was toxic but damn I miss her as much today as I did 5 months ago when we broke up. I have no idea how you Rory got over a 10 year fiancé in 5 months. I’m always in the gym. But still come home think about her and get emotional. I date other women and I’m still thinking about her when I’m with them.

@Bryan I am in the same situation. I went on a date and talking to other females but all I do is think about my ex and how much fun we had. We both agreed of the break up, I tried to do nc at first but she kept reaching out and saying she missed me. I tried to get her back bcuz I thought she wanted me back. So I called her one day and then she told me she didn't want to give me false hopes. I begged and plead to get her back on the 2nd month of the break up. On the 3rd month she became distant and not responding within 2-5 days of my text. Then 1 week became 2 weeks of not responding. I called her after the 2nd week no response, Couple of days later I texted her no response. I was so hurt that she was ignoring me bcoz when ever she reached out I responded back. I do look at her fb and she still have our special pictures from our vaction of us which I thought she would delete them. After awhile I was noticing every time I looked at her fb I would reopen my wound and didn't give myself time to heal. So from then on on the 4th month I said damn I see the true colors of what I thought was called love even though we broke up i thought she would be there for me or be back bcuz we had chemistry. Now I am steadily doing me and lost 35 lbs from doing 2 a days in the gym. It's hard for me to not think about her but F that I have to gain myself respect, value and love myself bcuz I couldn't eat or sleep during the last 4 months. What pushed me foward was friends and giving my love 1st to God to heal my soul and me to improve/rebuild my physical side. Everyday I still think of her but when I do I substitute it with positive memories and control what I can control. Keep grinding!

And he said... I don’t know. I then proceeded to say, ok that’s all I wanted to know. Have a good night. He said ok good nigh. He hasn’t text or call since then. That was 3 days ago. Idk what to do.

Rory, could you in the future maybe objectively cover the topic on exes blocking / unblocking on social media after ghosting/discard without any reason. How to react when you're at the receiving end of the block, what steps are needed to maintain control of emotions and character etc plus hypothetically if after a long time (when you're in a indefinite no contact phase of life), they unblock and do breadcrumbing / indirect approach how to and when to respond in a manner where you regain back your respect and power of the situation etc.

[@TheLoveChat]

Hi there! I've covered blocking in previous videos, did you see them?

[@saadsaif821]

@@TheLoveChat rory I'm new to your channel so I might have missed them. BTW it's great logical approach you have which has helped me see things from a different mature prespective comparatively than before.

[@claudinecinous1905]

Rory thanks for your guidance. You’ve nailed the behaviour of the dumpee when it comes to how i felt. I’d like you to adress breakup of a short relationship. I’ve been a victim of love bombing... future faking with a man that i quickly... quickly got attached. Maybe thought it was attachments to him but quickly realize i fell for what he put in my head. He got what he wanted and took away the attention he gave me just as quickly. Why is it so hard, why does this one hurt? And trust me i know what it is to end a 10 year relationship. But this one... a couple of weeks... Some people here may read and not really think there is an issue for such a short term relationship. But it’s been a rollercoaster of emotion. Tx in advance for any consideration!

[@ericm.5408]

It’s still hard. 6 months later.

[@thesmokecriminal5395]

Can this no contact rule be applied to a person who has rejected me ?

[@TheLoveChat]

Yes!

[@randyv6056]

We were together about 2 years and had a child together. Then things started to slip and I began looking other places and taking the relationship for granted time and time again. After multiple chances she finally firmly broke up with me and I went back to my parents house with almost instant regret! I begged and pleaded for weeks until I got the hint that she was serious and needed space. A few weeks later we started hanging little by little when we would exchange our son. But things felt different, she was reserved and I knew somthing didn’t feel right. I discovered she was seeing someone else and I was heartbroken all over again! She confronted me the next day and said she does want a future with me but she was not ready. We still saw eachother for another week until I felt it wasn’t going anywhere and I had reason to believe she was still seeing the other guy! It’s already been 4-5 months since our break up and I know now Limited-contact is our best option to possibly reconcile the relationship. I’m going on day 7 and she has reached out almost every day and I’ve had to be strong because I’ve already broken NC once and felt like crap having to restart from day 0. I love her a lot and have changed so much, this no contact is not easy for either of us, but if she is rebounding then I need to stay away, work on myself, and let time do it’s thing. She breadcrumbs so hard to get me to break nc which has been a huge problem, but I want the mother of my child back and I’ll stay disciplined if it means saving our relationship! I honestly see a great future with us! Any thoughts that could help my situation??

[@Electronite1978]

Second day of NC - Broke up 4 days ago. First two days tried to talk "sense" to her but did have any effect so here we go. Luckily I am aware of this method from the past. Self improvement here we go again.

[@agh950]

Hey Rory! I was working at a music festival and during my break I went to the merchandise stand and every line was full except one line and I knew what I wanted to purchase. As I went to the line turns out my ex was merchandise person. I kept it it cool. I did not I repeat, I did not talk to her anything besides of what I wanted to purchase. It was unexpected of us to see each but I kept it cool and did my purchase and just left. My mind was running but I had myself really calmed. I was wondering if it was breaking no contact? Other than that, I’m doing really good with my life. Gonna start a new chapter in a university for my career.

[@michellel245]

We were together for 6 yrs but this is the second time he left me again bcz he needed space and i begged the whole month of june for him not to. Worst mistake i know. But on july i told myself to let him go. I stopped reaching out and he would reach out 3 times that week of july. The last time we talked i told him why is he calling me if he left me and broke up with me cause im annoying.. now its almost a month of no contact and i miss him.. should i wait for him to contact me first right since he left me..🥺 pple say he will come back again but he got a new job and new friends and decided to cut me off out of the bloom..

[@TheLoveChat]

Yep! Let him come to you.

[@gew977]

he will, i think he misses you

[@glamisfuntopia]

Been in no contact for two months already

[@ett2]

1 month here buddy. We broke up in April and limited until a month ago because she was taking forever to move out. I'm afraid it's been too long but others say no ..

[@glamisfuntopia]

Malik Best Miller two months is very long but afraid by the time I heal it be too late for her to come back. We been together for 20 years with four kids.

I'm sorry man, will say a prayer for you and those kids right now.

Excellent content. Needed to hear this today. Thanks!

[@vanessafroisduarte2202]

Hi Rory. Thank you for your videos! You have really been helping me through this rough time. I really like your honesty and objective speech. I'm truly grateful. About no contact... I've been in no contact for almost a month. He broke up with me 1 month and a half ago. He said the cliché "I love you, but I'm not in love. It will never work out in long term". It was a 6 month relationship. I'm blocked on social media and whatsapp. Meanwhile, his parents keep posting comments on my Facebook, saying they like me, and giving me kisses... Etc. How should I react to this? Thank you!

[@marybeth1579]

Just at the right time - day7 wobble !!!

[@lindseyroetzel287]

Only 4 weeks of no contact, 8 weeks apart total. He did unfriend me from Facebook on Day 1. I've hit the gym and lost 16lbs. Love the advice and am journaling. Question- if my ex broke up with me because his attraction for me fell and I do all this work for myself- as much as it feels rewarding to me, will it be a reward for him for breaking up with me? I'm skinnier, more confident and through stressful job transition that made me feel depressed... I'm afraid it will make him feel he can step away anytime things "get tough" in the future- thoughts?

[@bethdobbins7345]

It's been nearly 2 yrs since we last spoke. He did send one text 6 months after we stop speaking and I replied very briefly. He would also randomly like a few of my posts last year. This year he sent a Facebook friend request which I deleted. I felt I am way more worth a simple friend request. NC has gotten better for me. I run into his friends and even the girl that he was seeing at the same time as me. Never during those times do I even ask about him. However I do wonder if he ever thinks about me?

[@Falion86]

What if my ex has low self-esteem? He has never had a long term relationship, and I believe he's protecting himself by ending the relationship before I could potentially hurt him. I'm currently in week 6 of no contact.

[@munazashahzad5490]

I was so disappointed n I was about to text him then I stopped because me , reaching him out will give him the surety that I'm still here , waiting for me and he can treat me with whatsoever he wants which isn't acceptable for me and I came across this video...I m not much hopeful but as long as I'm working on myself...this is what I need now♥️

[@mariak9731]

I'm on day 23 of NC, but I can't stop stalking him on the media...what can I do?😭

[@minishaaa__]

Stop stalking your ex🙏Repeat daily in your mind!!

[@Grimaldi110560]

I have no desire to contact my ex GF after she broke with me, in two weeks I had the time to realize how toxic she was and therefore I do not want her back. Now, I am still dealing with the loss, but I can clearly differentiate that feeling, from actual love and growth. Maybe the only reason I want her to think about me and miss me is my ego who is talking to me about revenge. I guess that is not healthy either...?

people change things change no contact is not a manipualtion its to take time for you to heal to get moving and to lift yourself up again-if they want to speak with you they will call you respect what hey want and just know its probably for the best now-

[@shuwonnasmith8388]

I been in no contact for 10 months.... And in the beginning it was hard one of the hardest thing i have ever did. We were 2gether for right at 11 years... But day by day is a little better than the day b4... I'm in a good space... I saw him but i held it 2gether and kept it moving.

[@shannoncahalan2236]

My ex wished me happy birthday at like 6 in the morning via text and used his nick name for me in the message...visible confusion...is this a breadcrumb?

[@miasandholdt]

Most likely yes. stay cool 😉

[@RunesTheShadow]

I’m so happy I found your channel Rory. My gf of a year broke up with me a week ago because she “wanted to know what it was like to be single and to grow by herself”. We just had a mass shooting here so I reached out to see if she was ok and she said yes. Haven’t sent her any messages since. I’ve never felt loss this deep and I would give anything to have her back. But I’m going to stick to NC. I live in England half the year for college and then half the year in the USA. I move back here permanently next year. What are my odds she comes back?

Update

[@FLAMESNSKULLZGAMING]

My ex left I feel better since she left it’s the best thank u for these videos

[@Tonyvgvg]

She broke up with me 2 months ago, no contact after few days of talking and then being ignored by her -> start of NC, too late but yeah (short term relationship). Its been a journey these 2 months of NC but you just got to keep working on yourself, keep yourself busy and know that you deserve someone who will want you as equally as you want them, if not even more. On 30th day of NC i got unfollowed by ex on instagram, around the end of month two (stopped counting) unfollowed on ig by sisters ex (realised that by accident). Im pretty sure these are CLEAR signs she aint thinkin about coming back, but hey, who gives a damn what they think its not about them anymore. One thing tho, I cant understand these 'unfollowings' and their weird time intervals, (she ended the relationship by saying she aint ready and she needs time). Anyway, Rory, thanks for making these videos and helping us on our path of recovery.. Until next time!

[@derekmroland]

Will no contact work if she left me for another man? Im worried she will just move on easier if im completely out of the picture.

[@TheLoveChat]

It can work - but I want you to consider that no contact is for you! She left you for someone else - never forget that.

[@younessdiouane3829]

One minute silent for the three people how disliked this content

[@TheLoveChat]

Ya can't please everyone!

[@robertevvers9493]

Thank you for this video! My situation is where I broke up with her because of her not putting effort in/wanting to spend time together. I basically ended the relationship simply and said this isn't working. However I do want it to work but I felt walking away was important...Since I'm technically the dumper, how does no contact work in my case?

[@GamersClipsinfinity]

Me and my ex were meant to get married next year. We have now split, wedding cancelled and I've been asked to move out which I did without any resistance. I had been with my ex for three years. I developed trust issues due to my relationship before my current ex where my ex - ex was cheating. My current ex request to know everything which I was fully transparent about. I warned her that I have trust issues and just need some understanding from time to time. She became very demanding, requested full transparency with every element of my life - which I had no issues giving. Her on the other hand wasn't a transparent, because evasive, defensive, vague about things which just fueled my suspicions. As our relationship developed, it got to the point where every time we had an argument - no matter how serious or trivial, it always lead to the threat of a breakup. The more I committed and moved in, the threat would match. We would get to a point where she would threaten and wish to cancel our wedding plans, but as soon as we made up, she would discuss wedding plans, tell me how much she was looking for to our future together literally the next day as if the threat of break up never happened. I expressed my concerns that she could easily walk out on our relationship at any point literally over the smallest thing - simply because she was pissed off. This happened again and when I expressed my concerns that what's she displayed in wanting and what she really felt were two different things, she kicked off, didn't want to speak to me, carried out exactly what my concerns were by actually breaking up, wanted me to move out asap, removed all our memories together off her Facebook, unfriended me on Facebook, changed her WhatsApp pix Facebook pix. When I asked how can you go from saying I'm this important person you want to spend your life with to how you are now? Unless A) you had doubts for a while. B) mental. C) have already met someone else and just needed validation? Since moving out, we haven't spoke, I haven't contacted her or anything. She is a very proud person, stubborn, can be arrogant, thinks very highly of herself. She speaks to me like shit but I've always put up with it because of how I felt about her... Because I've been through worse.. Now I'm confused.... I feel like she definitely doesn't want to make this work but at the same time I know she is a deep thinker so might, just might regret her decision? I'm in doubt of this but I could be wrong? What should I do? What is she thinking? Is there another interest? Am I better off without her?

[@jkim1241]

Gamers Clips in my opinion, I wouldnt take that no matter how beautiful a girl is. She doesnt sound like a very reliable partner man.. you really need to figure out your anxious tendencies though because insecurity of a womans loyalty is the biggest attraction killer there is. I would still move on if I were you though, she seems very immature in how she reacts to confrontation.

[@GamersClipsinfinity]

@@jkim1241 Thanks for the reply mate. Yeah she is very immature at times. She literally posted on her Facebook on the 14th of November this year about how I'm her soulmate, best friend, couldn't have found a more perfect partner to now saying she will block me if I continue to suffocate her..... I'm like so I don't deserve some sort of discussion? Anyway now I've cut all contact... Even if she wanted to work things out, I've seen her true colours now so she can go lay in the bed she made...

[@jkim1241]

Gamers Clips it sounds like your ex has some serious insecurities herself regardless of how confident she appears to be. Any girl that pressures marriage when they clearly werent ready for it themselves is a sign of huge issues with rejection. Im willing to bet she will come crawling back if you do no contact

[@GamersClipsinfinity]

@@jkim1241 well yeah... She would tell me that I make her feel like I'm always watching her when we're out.... I'm like no I'm not! Then I'll say... So basically you're watching me to see if I'm watching you? So who's watching who? Haha Literally everything she accuses me of doing, she is actually doing herself it's crazy... Her behaviour to me just seems very familiar to want why ex before her did... She went cold, told me I'm all these things, started bringing up past issues to justify suddenly wanting to breakup, when I asked if there was someone else, she'd gas light me but then I found her out.... Well the same pattern then is what I'm seeing now with my recent ex... However I also know she is a bit like that anyway where she can just flip her moods and emotions... She would have a go at me for not speaking what's on my mind but then when I did, she would get her arse out which again could lead to breakup... So I'd say how can you complain about me not being open with you but then get angry and threaten breakups when I do? I'm dammed if I do dammed if I don't. After analysing our relationship I just realised we just aren't good for eachother. I shouldn't be made to feel like the slightest thing can cause a breakup... So yeah I do feel there is someone else but when I ask, she just accuses me of being possessive, controlling and making her feel suffocated.... I'm like - it's more like a suppression tactic to prevent answering. So as soon as she said she will block me.... I just left her to it.

[@Sams911]

Her sister keeps reaching out to me about random stuff... most recently asking me where to get cheap viagra for a friend of hers and mentioning how my ex told them that I had a source in New Zealand... I respond.. does that technically break NC?

[@TheLoveChat]

If it isn't messaging your EX - you're fine!

[@GirlsOnTop_]

If I’m on the talking term with my ex again, met up once, but he didn’t say he wants to get back with me yet. He initiated the contact mostly, but sometimes i did it. Should I continue no contact and just let him initiate me first? It’s only 2 months post break up. He told me he regret leaving me, he misses me, asking if I’m seeing anyone. But he didn’t put an effort to get me back. I think he feels more relieved now 😂 I don’t know what to do.

[@selfpicture5480]

He left me for another girl in January. No contact since late March. He is still with her. When we saw each other on the street we acted like strangers. I hope he feels bad because of dumping me and causing me so much pain (it was very ugly and emotional break up). BTW. Should I block him on social media? / we don't follow each other but I do stalk sometimes :( /

[@Silverfot]

I wouldn't block him, just stay away from his account. I promise, you will feel so much better if you don't stalk. Once you start looking, it is hard to stop, "might as well continue and feel shitty ...". Focus on yourself and your own life. Don't stalk as an act of self care.

[@mgschuman]

Rory, can you do a video about no contact and/or why they lose interest, specifically for short term relationships (1-6 months)? Also, maybe a video on why someone leaves the "perfect" person (i.e. they checked off all the boxes)?

[@UNDOSTREIS]

Great video! 👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@dontmesswithleah]

Am I considered the dumper if we stayed friends after the breakup and I decided for emotional reasons that it was no longer healthy to continue speaking? We were friends for four months before I cut things off. He’s the one that broke up with me before becoming friends

[@fadifadi1422]

Hey Rory! when ex reached out once ( 3 months ago) I chased for 1 month and half and stopped as she didn’t initiate (she dumped me since 11 months cuz of neglecting her )…Will NoContact work again? Will they reach out again?

No Contact is based on your healing, so yes! It works as many times as you need it to. They might reach out.

[@MegaJacques1234]

Hey Rory, still within the first 26 dys of NC..ex seems to be trying to 'move on' fast re new profile pics for validation, updating then an invisible or closed match acct, concert w gf's she supposedly had no respect for, etc, otherwise I have no idea what she's doing given the full block. As we discussed in our phone call, just wondering how effective NC works when the chick has experience w breakups and can be the type who supposedly is the "once I'm done I'm done"/ move on fast type. Ik u'll say stay indefinite NC and let her make the first move but what's the real incentive if perceived bad treatment and creating a false toxic view of me are in play and she's feeling major extended relief w a few post breakup mistakes, plus feelings have diminished given her anger a month ago. Is the silence really able to pique curiosity and create pattern interruption over several months? Also should I post any pics of me out or go the radio silence route of posting nothing aka too busy? Following and will stay the course if u think..tty, J
