Games Your Ex Plays When They Want You Back

[@katiew0916]

1. Offering friendship 2. They are getting mad at you 3. Jealousy baiting 4. The check-in 5. Their stuff(trying to get their stuff back from you or your stuff from them) 6. Give back a gift 7. Hot and Cold treatment

[@Karidugan]

8 } be totally bitchy to them after they cheated on you 9) try to get them jealous about moving on 10} gloat about your new lover do not stop 11) they have a massive breakdown in front of you begging you to take them back after saying they still love you 12) Walk away while tell them you’re a better man than them

[@BradBrowning]

True, especially if you gave it your all. Like I always say, the decision is ultimately up to you. You know your situation and your ex best. Sometimes a relationship can be salvaged and worth the save but sometimes it isn't, especially if there's cheating or some other type of abuse involved. It's your life and it's your decision.

Boy then this time has been the meant things he does to trear me down to were i just cant stop thinking even after a couple years of no contact as he thin was with another he left me for. Not many did he up and left me but cheated.its been to much to try and tell about its craziness drove this one crazier and lost with little lonely.

My ex has breadcrumbed me for 16 months. She’d been seeing someone straight after we ended. She said it’s no longer happening as she’s still in love with me. We went on 2 dates then boom…she disappeared again. I told her I deserve more and better so I have went back into no contact. We’d been together for 10 years. God I miss her but I can’t keep playing these games. I’ll miss and love her from afar but now is the time to move on.

[@BradBrowning]

Sorry to hear, sounds like a tough situation… 10 years is a long time so moving on won’t be easy, but it’s good that you are taking that attitude and starting to focus on getting over your ex and finding someone new. You never know how things might pan out, your ex may come back to you again soon, but if you stick to No Contact for now and work on moving on you will keep the door open to your ex coming back while also preparing for the possibility it is truly over. Wishing you all the best!

This is so inspiring. My mind has been consumed with thoughts of him. It's been 6zmonths since he left, and the pain feels like a physical ache. The laughter, the memories, the adventures they're all gone. I've tried to distract myself, but the harder I try, the more I think about him. How do people truly move on? The memories are still so vivid, and I miss him more than words can express.

[@watermelonspecial140]

Well they pushed me away, and I accepted it. Started posting myself out and on dates and now I’m blocked.

[@BradBrowning]

That's part of the process as your ex is trying to heal as well. So in the long run, I don't see this as a cause for concern really, unless you've done something really epic to mess things up or really hurt your ex (going out on dates is not counted since you're single now), there's no reason to worry as much, really, because it could be due to the top 3 reasons I've stated on this vid: y2u.be/fjtv90o9bkI Blocking you could just be your ex’s way of coping so I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you, at least not initially. So give it time. If you stay blocked after months though, then that’s another story, especially if you have no other means of communication or have no mutual friends. More about that on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4a3amV_d5qondU Anyway social media should be the least of your concerns. Focus on all three phases and your ex may naturally unblock you, in time, as you learn to rebuild that attraction and re-attract this ex back to your life.. Here are the basics of all three phases to getting an ex back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5aqf4N4mdWhqas and social-media wise, here (but then again, don't let it become your sole focus) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKqoYVrgqajh80 Good luck!

1. Friendship- friends, family and community pressure you to leave on good terms and help the ex distance themselves from you. It is a life lesson to learn not communicate with them anymore. Friendship was for me out of guilt for breaking up with them and not wanting to hurt them. Now, I understand just move on. 5. Their stuff. (trying to get their stuff back from you or your stuff from them). They deserve to get their stuff back and vice versa, do it in one go (i did and it worked well).

Trust and believe....a break up with a rocky long distance relationship, with a 10 weeks absence, mixed in with her developing feels for some one else, along with game playing, being blocked on their phone, loss of feelings, etc etc, no relationship like that could ever be repaired....especially now, shes in a rebound ...we had 3 years

[@BradBrowning]

That's right. A long distance relationship is not easy to maintain, especially if you two had a weak foundation where you don't get to spend time with each other much in person. Not to state the obvious, but the distance is often the main culprit. Watch/review and apply the pointers here first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYK8ZYFmadqpqqM and/or kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5_JiIWAh9ehd9U However, if you believe your situation is unique and there may still be a chance between you two, then let's take a look at your situation in-depth via my one-on-one coaching session at www.breakupbrad.com/coaching

It's still up to you though whether your ex or the relationship is worth it because some people can be downright abusive, too. It depends on your situation so use discernment.

Ok, but you need to be prepared for if she discovers that the grass actually IS greener. Because in the real world, that's often the case. The girl I was just with met a guy and said I didn't need to worry about him, she even invited him out with us so we could get to know each other. He was basically a younger, cooler version of myself. As the night went on, she started ignoring me and paid more attention to him until by the end of the night, she was completely focused on him. She left me the next day, and there was no way I could deny that she'd moved on to greener pastures.

We had a major fight, and I overreacted and he said that I proved that I don't have control over myself. He blocked me for just one day, unblocked, then said we could only be friends and we don't have boundaries, but we can't be together. He told me if I fix things he may be able to consider it. and I need to learn to have patience. It's been a week since the breakup, and no matter what I say he says the decision is final and we will only be friends.

[@BradBrowning]

What was the fight about? Fighting is often unavoidable, but when it becomes too much, it’s time to nip the problem in the bud if you still can. So it's either that or you go on a break and discuss the logistics as well as how it should go and how long it should be. It's best to consider the relationship overall first, so watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqatd5lrgMiba9E Anyways it's best to give it time because all this arguing had taken a toll in your relationship. This may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHOomZSPaMx_f9k Perhaps you've both argued more than you had a good time with each other? It could also be you're too incompatible or stubborn to meet each other halfway. If the negatives outweigh the positives in the relationship, that's when an imbalance happens and the relationship will keel over wherein one or both people will likely abandon ship, as the case with your ex. It's time to reset things. Start with the 30-day "no contact" rule to get your ex into a psychological neutral. Here's how it can help you: y2u.be/zw0ChuXCEmw

We went to a Halloween scare fest and he was between me and his Mom and when he got scared he grabbed onto my hand and asked me to protect him. She absolutely loved how I would treat him.

You ought to be on talking terms to fix things... Friends or more appropriately, talking terms for now (if your ex isn't already in another relationship), but don't let that derail you, assuming you've done the first phase (30-day "no contact" rule) correctly and basically had set the stage for this second part. Since you've only recently reconnected, then don't expect your ex to warm up easily. Getting an ex back is a process. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t resort to doing the things here: y2u.be/jikW4YYC9yo Are you sure you're not trying to rush it? Setting a deadline is a good way to fail when it comes to exes, so I highly discourage it but also try to see you aren't just being strung along. What steps have you taken to get your ex back? Apply the tips here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLIXmd3YqijjLs It's time to re-assess those and see what's working versus what's not working. Sometimes, getting an ex back is like trying to fit a square into a circle, but oftentimes, chances are you're letting emotion dictate you and therefore end up making the wrong choices.

what if it was a short relationship (2 months) and she tried to contact me twice after one week. but i didnt respond and now she unfollowed me on all social media and deleted all our messages we saw each other outside last night and she texted me saying she wanted to come say hi and i just left her on read and a little bit later she did all of the above. what should i do now??PLEASE HELP ME!

[@BradBrowning]

What was the message about? Reply only if the message warrants a response. Depending on what really cut the relationship short, it may be time to consider moving on from this. But don't rush. Always take the time to give each other space first, all right? Do a minimum of 3 weeks of "no contact" and see if you still want your ex and if your ex is receptive to contact AFTER that period. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKiTdJurjah4o9k

[@SuitGuy]

@@BradBrowning thanks you for the response. i just found out she is talking to someone new already. i showed too much attachment and i thinks that was what made it too easy for her. she used to tell me she felt something was missing when she didn't talk to me at night before sleeping, and i think after a week of no contact and leaving her on read made her mad. and this new guy is definitely not her type i can tell. like he is way worse looking than me and doesn't have any better life than mine. so is this considered a rebound relationship for her as ours only lasted 2 months? (btw we were talkin for a month before we made it official so about 3 months total) what should i do now?

[@christhornton9859]

Spent 15 years with her. Really wanted my forever story. She got mad over some things out of my control and left. Lost 30 pounds and had a major heart attack. When she did message me she found out I was in the hospital but didn’t believe me. I know I got to let her go but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

It would be either drug use or cheating. But I'm not sure that's the case, as new developments have come to light. Her mental state is on edge, and pushed everyone away to do this by herself.

Me and my ex gf tend to start fighting and arguing about really small stuff, and she tends to try to make me jealous alot, and teasing me like 24/7 and we recently broke up, but she claims “she will never like me ever again”

[@BradBrowning]

Looks like you two are bored with each other? What do you two always bicker about? Fighting is often unavoidable, but when it becomes too much, it’s time to nip the problem in the bud if you still can. So it's either that or you go on a break and discuss the logistics as well as how it should go and how long it should be. It's best to consider the relationship overall first, so watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqatd5lrgMiba9E Anyways it's best to give it time because all this arguing had taken a toll in your relationship. This may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHOomZSPaMx_f9k Perhaps you've both argued more than you had a good time with each other? It could also be you're too incompatible or stubborn to meet each other halfway. If the negatives outweigh the positives in the relationship, that's when an imbalance happens and the relationship will keel over wherein one or both people will likely abandon ship, as the case with your ex. It's time to reset things. Start with the 30-day "no contact" rule to get your ex into a psychological neutral. Here's how it can help you: y2u.be/zw0ChuXCEmw

We both have expressed love for each other and we’re both still in love she doesn’t feel she deserves love. Childhood trauma and lack of accountability has been a major factor. It’s been 7 days she’s been watching my stories we’ve talked and she got mad we then were texting for hours which wasn’t so bad but she says she doesn’t want to work on this yes she’s said it before but we both have a connection like no other. She had mentioned us being cool which we’ve done before it’s like we always find our way back. We be sick without each other

am from india . My ex broke up with me as my previous ex sent our few intimate photos with him and he said that i have broke his trust . He also broke his phone due to anger . We study in the same university , he said that he will not come in relationship with me for the next 5 years , which is the duration of our course . He sometimes check on me about my health and then says that we are just friends and so i told him that i dont want you to play mind games with me , come and talk to me only when you want to get back together . He said ok . But a week ago he called me asking for a stupid help , and kept on calling me for like 10 times . Then again told me , he cant get back. But he also looks at me in the class . What is he thinking ? By the way , i dont talk to him at all , not even eye contact. Any chances of reconciliation ?

We were at long distance relationship and 3 weeks after the break up, he asked if I'm seeing anyone. I replied by "it's none of your business" and he said it was a mistake to text me and to be clear I should move on and plus, he told me he likes someone new these days. Deep inside, I don't believe him. Sometimes, when he breaks up with me lies in order for me to "move on". Every time we had broken up it was because of the distance and nothing depending on us as a couple. We were doing good as a couple. It's just he is struggling with his financials right now and he wants to improve his life. In a couple of months, I was going to be where he lives right now.

[@BradBrowning]

A trip can be really costly. How is he struggling financially? Also how are your finances and can you support your own to travel to where he lives? Try to heal and consider moving on from this. You'll know if he's serious with your plans once you give him space and have time to miss you.

Personally, I will be in the position to afford a trip to go there these months I think, I have told him many times and he said that he doesn't feel good if I spend most of the money for this, for a hotel maybe.

[@BradBrowning]

It means it may be over for good. Sorry, but chances are your beau has been at least emotionally cheating on you. Discussed that in depth here: y2u.be/7KE6nb4-ndA There's no easy way to say this but the answer is is to move on, especially if your ex doesn't seem to be regretting their actions and asking to get back together. Most of the time, a lot of people would move on, but a few would still fight for the relationship, so this all depends which side you're on and what your views are. But take into consideration about what I’ve mentioned here, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2OahX-brrqgrck There is no right or wrong answer here because it is your relationship and it's personal to you. Make sense? Anyway men and women cheat for different reasons, but if you think your ex is worth it and if there's been a genuine connection between you two before the cheating happened, then try to see the roles that you BOTH played that led to all this mess and see once and for all if it can be resolved or not, okay? Whatever the case, it's important you forgive yourself because no one's perfect, and forgive your ex too. Really take your time before deciding though and be sure not to make any hasty decisions from an emotional place but never force things with him if you can see he no longer wants to try. Take care!

What are you going to do? Kick her to the curb! Look, you sound young and are in university.

I have had women ask me out all my life. Get to work! Nothing makes you look more attractive to a woman than being busy and having no time for them.

[@BradBrowning]

She's busy with other stuff. As to being friends, that's a bad idea as that will absolutely lead you nowhere. Don't do it, man. In addition to being busy, she's lost attraction for you and it's a terrible idea to be friends with her. You ought to cut off contact for at least 30 days first. Silence is key and here's why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKiTdJurjah4o9k If you continue being friends right away, the boundaries won't be clear and you're technically both free to date other people. Wouldn't it be pure torture if your ex dates a rebound in front of you because you're only "friends" now, don't you think? So it’s not a good idea, especially if you want this ex back. Watch these two videos so you’ll know why being friends won’t lead you anywhere you wanna be with your ex and how to get out of this trap, respectively at kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfClJ2wnbt-d7s and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYSXh2d_hMiCndU but read my Ex Factor Guide since that’s much more detailed and so you'll know how to go about it, what to do after each phase (there are three phases in total), including what to say, do or not do, along with bonus materials for texting.

Unless your situation falls under one or more of the scenarios here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5zCZaqmoLtpbMU AND kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWjMdGCdfdKNaKM it's best you ignore contact from your ex. If your ex continues to reach out to you during the no contact stage, however, then this really depends on the frequency and nature of the contact from your ex and whether or not you've reached the phase where you're supposed to be talking again. The only exception is if your ex asks for you back and is sincere about it. If your ex continually messages you, then it’s important to put your ex’s messages into context, more so if this happened during the “no contact” phase. Is your ex trying to contact you about something really important, like an emergency, unpaid bills, or something equally urgent? These are reasons to respond, including messages where they get angry due to your lack of response. Discussed that in full detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXNdnR9f7yHq6M So if your ex is really just texting some useless random stuff and/or asses their power over you, then you can just ignore and continue on with the 30-day "no contact" rule.

How long has it been since the breakup? Focus on texting and try not to meet up when one or both of you aren't ready yet. No contact means radio silence/zero communication between you and your ex in any way, shape or form. Therefore you shouldn't be waiting for a response. The phase you're on (assuming you've done the first phase correctly which is the 30-day no contact rule, if not, then prioritize that first for your own sake) is the second phase where you're rebuilding attraction. It's part two of the 3-phase system in my guide but here's a quick overview to help you understand better: y2u.be/7JtmVbDkblw but as you go on this phase, you'll notice one or more signs here: y2u.be/nmRM3dZAzDA and the best you can do is to continue to play your cards right and move to the third phase when you're both ready. Good luck!

I was the one who broke up with my ex, but he is the one who is in a new relationship and he is the one who reached out to me after 6 months of no contact, wanting to be friends. First he says that he want to win me over again, and then the next day he wants to stay with his horrible new gf whom he says is mean to him. So confusing

[@BradBrowning]

Well, it's been many months since the breakup and I take it you're in talking terms with him again? Be cordial without actually being friends. This means you put him on the bottom of your priority list especially since he's confused which direction to go. Here are some tips to remember if you're trying to win an ex back and how important Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYWvm6yYrs6UeLM Best of luck!

[@TherealdiariesofLawren]

My ex didn’t speak in person one day and then right after, he sent me a friend request on face book. Did that mean he wanted to be friends? More recently, there had been an incident where I got too drunk at a part and essentially “went missing” aka wondering and someone called him because we were in the same apt complex and he came outside and looked for me. I apologized for bringing him into that and then told him I couldn’t be friends with him and blocked him. Where do I go from here lol? I didn’t think I could just be friends with him and didn’t want to see him post someone else lol

[@BradBrowning]

You don't have to be friends with him but there's no need to block him either, especially since you can leverage social media to your advantage. This vid is for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKqoYVrgqajh80

The first 30 days, aka the no contact phase, is supposed to be where you focus on yourself for a full 30 days. You do all that AFTER the 30-day period. Make sense?

[@Supersleuth0987]

7 weeks apart, had the angry messages accusing me of stuff I haven’t done where she’s paranoid I’m speaking to other women because she sees I’ve spent time on WhatsApp, recently had 4 days of nice phone calls and messages and then 5th day I say hi and she says hi back and have heard nothing more in 2 days!…how long should you go with this behaviour, she knows I’m sorry for mistakes in the relationship (no cheating) and she knows I want her back.

[@BradBrowning]

It may not be a cheating issue but obviously it was huge enough to cause her to break up with you. It's very important to give it time to let whatever anger and hurt there is between you two, especially from your ex's side, subside. Sometimes it takes a month but oftentimes it takes longer or shorter depending on the situation and what the mistake was/were. You simply cannot rush this. An apology is in order, too. These may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-oYmxom7p-rqs AND kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGGpaaRofq6aqqc

[@BradBrowning]

Checking statuses doesn't really matter. People do it all the time and there's really not much to it. As to your chances, I say generally it's still fair game unless you see most if not all the signs that your ex is over you. Here's the vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqtg6OerKmWl5Y and especially if those signs prevail over a prolonged period of time. If you're asking about your chances, I really wish I could give you a direct yes or no. However, as it is, each situation is unique, so I suggest you take the free quiz as it hits on the critical elements that will determine your chances depending on your answers. In other words, my quiz can give you a more accurate answer than I can since as you may have noticed, there are various factors at play here which needs to be looked at as well as your own actions after the breakup. Here's the link: www.breakupbrad.com/quiz Best of luck!

I greeted my ex yesterday and she responded but when I asked for the return of my remaining stuff back she full out blocked me, why she doesn't want to return my stuffs back? And how can I get my stuffs back, I don't feel safe going to her place as well.

[@BradBrowning]

If the breakup was still fresh, she may be way too pissed or hurt (or both) to deal with you for the time being, so try to give it a few days, if you can? However, if you badly need the stuff back right away, you can arrange for a close friend to pick it up for you. Anyway here are the most common reasons for being blocked and my thoughts about it, including what to do and for you to understand what may be going on at the moment: y2u.be/s52sRweJlm8 and don't forget to take the quiz if you still have questions on what to do after, at www.breakupbrad.com/quiz Good luck!

@@BradBrowning thank you for the advice, it's been two months already since we broke up because of her toxic environment/family I asked a mutual friend as well but she got no response, I'm thinking of letting my things go now, she is toxic and manipulative, she even reported me to the police after the heated argument when we broke up, and she hold my remaining stuff. I don't think it's a good Idea to risk my friends and family's safety over my stuff just because of her. It feels like she is using my stuff and authority for power and control on the break up, so I think it's time to let it go... It's unhealthy anymore.

The no contact rule is only for 30 days, not 90. Anyway yes, you can reach out to your ex after the 30 days straight of "no contact" period is over. In doing so, it's best to treat the situation with fresh eyes, so it's crucial to keep things fun and light and gently coax your ex into responding the same way. Here are the basics on what to do when it comes down to it. I also suggest you watch from start to the end and NOT skip any parts so you can maximize these tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYHGl3qbf9aIj9E including asking yourself these very important questions to ask yourself before starting the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmesZp5ratWheac but if you need the step-by-step process on what to do, including what to text or say during the process, either hire me as your coach, refer to my other vids or get the 2.0 version of my Ex Factor Guide at www.breakupbrad.com Good luck!

[@BradBrowning]

Give him time to decide what he really wants because this kind of dynamic between you and your ex won't work in the long run. It's still important to put the full 30-day straight "no contact" rule into priority because if you've been in touch after the breakup too soon, then you BOTH aren't taking the time needed to process the breakup and been acting like it hadn't happened. Here's how not contacting your ex can help you a lot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKiTdJurjah4o9k Burying the problems which had caused the breakup in the first place is a surefire way towards a doomed relationship, if you get your ex back. Make sense now? You ought to teach your ex these very important lessons: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLIXmd3YqijjLs On the other hand, you can work on the issues together but you have to make sure you're on the same page and you aren't being manipulated and/or strung along.

[@BradBrowning]

Sorry to hear that. Did you mean he was already messing around while still in a relationship with you? If so, your beau has been at least emotionally cheating on you. Discussed that in depth here: y2u.be/7KE6nb4-ndA There's no easy way to say this but the answer is is to move on, especially if your ex doesn't seem to be regretting their actions and asking to get back together. Most of the time, a lot of people would move on, but a few would still fight for the relationship, so this all depends which side you're on and what your views are. But take into consideration about what I’ve mentioned here, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2OahX-brrqgrck There is no right or wrong answer here because it is your relationship and it's personal to you. Make sense? Anyway men and women cheat for different reasons, but if you think your ex is worth it and if there's been a genuine connection between you two before the cheating happened, then try to see the roles that you BOTH played that led to all this mess and see once and for all if it can be resolved or not, okay? Whatever the case, it's important you forgive yourself because no one's perfect, and forgive your ex too. Really take your time before deciding though and be sure not to make any hasty decisions from an emotional place but never force things with him if you can see he no longer wants to try. Take care!

@@BradBrowning thank you. We actually dated 10 years ago. He moved, we dated long distance and then broke up. He moved again out of the country and recently reached out and we’ve been chatting for 6 months, long distance. He told me I’m the only one he keeps wanting to come back to, that he keeps thinking about me and can see us building a life, but then he seems to pull away. I think I’m anxious attachment and he’s avoidant, so me wanting to talk about how we move forward with the long distance made him feel “exhausted” (his words). I think we could have just talked about it and set some boundaries and expectations. It’s more natural for him to just pull away.
