My ex is dating another man but they quarrel all the time she is telling me whenever they quarrel she regrets why she is broke up with me.she is telling me whenever they are together they cannot be like two hours without quarrelling but she is pregnant for him

[@cynthiab8377]

Hi Clay, need your help here. I’m not sure which stage my ex is in right now. We broke up 2 months ago. I’ve not done the no contact. I’ve apologized, pleaded, showing care, for the past 2 months and he was very reactive during first month. He chased me away when I went to visit. Second month he mellows down a bit, in tone of voice but still adamant in not patching back. I’ve been texting him this 2 months apologizing & explaining things, he reads my texts, but didn’t reply or replied coldly to certain tasks base topic such as getting things back or asking for his opinion on sports. Once a while he reacted to my texts like “why ask me? Why change now? I don’t need your help” Recently I tried changing topic to talk as normal, he reads but he didn’t reply. He said things like “I’m not your honey, not your baby” when certain times my text contains such word. Which stage is he in now and how should I go about it? 😔

[@tonyrossi6459]

What about a situation where we’ve been apart since 2001, but have mostly stayed in touch and gotten along well. We’re talking, hanging out, even spent the night together (no sex). It’s awkward at times and I’m nervous.

I am so happy to announce that my wife and I are getting back together!!!!! We separated about two months ago. I’ve been watching Clay’s videos and following all of his good advice, and yesterday she finally told me her decision!!!! Clay, thank you so much for your incredible videos and your approach. My wife went through all of these 5 stages. It was incredibly difficult to keep the focus on high quality interactions and self improvement when I was being avoided and pushed away, but I kept being consistent. Clay, you’re a genius. Thank you so very much for saving my marriage!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ClayAndrews]

That's truly a great news, Shawn. Congratulations on getting back together. :-)

I wish everyone luck in getting their ex back. Today is 8 months into my break up and finally realized is over forever. The no contact has not worked.. we have spoken 4 times..she trapped me into telling her I wanted to get back together. .after she was talking about all the fun he had together over 17 years. Though it still hurts after 17 years just have accept the fact it's not going to happen. Good luck everyone. Thanks Clay for all that you do for us.

[@paulsell2438]

Happy to say that we're just entering the new beginnings stage. Keeping it zero pressure and just enjoying more and more time together. Thanks for all your sound advice and videos.

[@realmsofthespiritarts8557]

Thanks so much, Clay! After 5 years together he moved out in Feb. his mother passed and of course I pushed for answers and communication but he’s an avoidant. Super detached. He responded saying he needed space and time to process things. So I’ve kinda given him time. I’ve screwed up a little bit but for the most part gave him time. He has half his things still here in the garage and keeps coming back to take a few things here and there. Last weekend he took me to grab my car from the car shop and he was really googly eyed and looking at me a lot. We talked and I told him I still cared about him and he said he did too. We hugged and told each court we loved eachother. He pumped up my daughters bike tire and talked with her for a bit. I don’t know what this means but it’s gotta be a good sign.

[@ClayAndrews]

Thanks for sharing your journey. Sounds like you are both slowly building progress. :-)

[@brittanyengelmann4478]

1. Wall of Reactance - Non communicative - High levels of reactance 2. Test Drive - Willing to talk to you - One or two word answers - Little depth 3. Riding the Dragon - hot and cold behavior - relate to their confusion 4. Crisis Point - your ex realizes they still have feelings for you - they may discourage you / test you - let them know you’re serious 5. New Beginnings - back together - have that conversation to seal the deal 😉

My husband left me 18 mos ago. We were married for 35yrs. Together since teens. He has ran out of the country and won't talk. I sent emails for 17 mos. He read them but would only reply to some regarding business with only one sentence. I've finally given up and have gone into no contact. I still can't believe he did this.

Clay Andrews thanks. Do you just sit back and wait? Or do inquire as to if she did it? I mean we’re going for walks, hooking up, I’m definitely winning, but am trying to stay chill.

[@Ok-551]

Update. The rebound didn’t stand a chance. Silly to be freaking out like we do. It’s haard to make a connection and she came back. Things are better than ever and I’m laughing at the other guy. She was recently divorced so giving some room was required. Don’t re-act, stay cool, and be the prize.

Hello Clay, I have to say that you are really good in what you do. I think you are the only coach on yt who actually explains the mechanism of a breakup into such details. After almost 3 months after my ex bf has left I have started to connect dots and understand why and what happened. It really requires a high level of empathy from you to describe all this human interactions so relevant. Thank you for your work. I wish I didn't come across your videos before my bf said that he need some space - maybe I would have saved our relationship instead of pushing on him. Best Regards from Croatia

Is it common to go back and forth between the different stages? I can recognise behaviors from stages 1-3!

[@charlottele9352]

Hi Clay I watch your videos everyday and you are totally different from other KZbin coach. We broke up 6 months ago. Before we decided to officially break up, we did no contact for a month. Then he asked me to break up but still friend because I have a really good relationship with his family and friends and he said I was too good. We still go to the same gym, sometimes he picks me up. Besides when I asked him to go out for a walk or go somewhere with me he still agreed. Last week I came to his house. We made love, and he asked me to get back together and I said “we will get back together when you’re ready”. However the next day he asked me to stop acting like we still are couple and move on, “what happened yesterday was my mistake” he said that. He told me that he didnt want a relationship and he just wanna focus on his job right now and I had to find a serious relationship for getting married and settle down (he’s 23 and I’m 25). He doesn’t want me to be miserable. What can I do now? I’m so sorry for my bad English this is the very first time I leave a comment on a relationship expert channel. Thank you so much.

[@izzyrocks8388]

I and she have been broken up for two months, the 1st month no contact whatsoever. She texted me out of the blue and asked me to come over which I did. She vented out and told me that she was angry and emotional and couldn’t let it go. We hang out almost every day, we go for walks, we eat dinner together, I help her clean her house and we have been texting back in forth on a daily. She tells me that she wants me to be consistent with her and prove to her that I can make changes in my life. She sends me selflessly of herself out of random and it confuses me. The thing that hurt was her telling me that her parents said you’d be stupid to take him back. And she teared up not knowing what that meant. I don’t understand, why would she call me to come to be with her for days straight. Is she playing mind tricks or getting closure from me ?

[@RobbiJamesVogt]

Brilliant! You’re good man

[@jpduval8]

My ex broke up with me and so I went NC. After a couple weeks she called and said she wanted to work things out and was really loving and we agreed to come up with our expectations moving forward. A couple days later she started being cold like stage 2 where she’d just give one word answers. I asked her if she was still interested after a week of that and she said it was too soon to answer. I’m trying to connect with her but it doesn’t seem like it’s getting anywhere. She said she doesn’t want pressure, but outside of asking if we were still on the same page I haven’t pushed the issue.

[@TreGoodman]

I’m currently dealing with a situation but we didn’t ended it on a bad note and we both didn’t cheat. She decided to say we both should be friends. We both work together and it was just a person who decided to throw me and her under the bus saying we both were dating due to her and my girlfriend having some issues with one another work related. I have things at her house and she didn’t mentioned anything about me coming to get my stuff. Also, when she said we both should friends, she wasn’t to upset towards me or anything. Hopefully we both can try to fix things to get back together. She definitely pushed me to go back to school and did a lot for me as well as me doing a lot for her. I just decided to not hit her up first to see where she stands.

[@kostadrandakis5891]

These have been very encouraging videos! I was going to do no contact for possibly to long but you've encouraged me to see that reaching out after a shorter time would be a better move. My ex and I just started texting lightly but it feels more so on the better half of the "riding the dragon stage" not entirely sure if I should try to plan a meet up in person sooner than later in the next week. Her birthday is here soon so that also makes me nervous about seeming to pushy rather than wait till after her birthday.

I smothered the guy I just started seeing because it had been so mutually, soulfully intense and then he got angry for not having space. So I totally did the wrong things, poured my heart out, chased him and he told me he needed space. So I have it to him, dropped contact and then a month later he said 'sorry for being rubbish, life gets in the way and I needed to check out for a bit, hope you're well?' I didn't know what to make of it, I'd been so heartbroken and I left it a couple days and replied 'it's been busy but I've benefitted from the space, -hope you're well too?' I think this might have been me with my defenses up - I didn't want to validate his dropping out like that. I still miss him it's been about 2 months now. Every day I debate whether to drop him a line, and what tone that should take?? Of course, I've been working through my issues and enjoying my own life too but, we kinda rushed itt and it would be so good to reconnect. How?!

[@LaneyMae-d5h]

My ex keeps texting me he loves me he misses me and I told him to stop because he won’t be with me… I left him to date someone else.. I didn’t realize what I had when I had it… and I’m willing to forgive and forget the pain he causes me but now he says he’s not sure what he wants

Hi Clay! I’m currently at the last stage. He’s been making the effort to go out with me. At our last meet up, he kissed me goodbye and said “love you”. I paused for a bit and said it back. Things have been going good. We’ve been at this stage for two weeks. I don’t know when I should have the talk about taking the next step. I think I’m scared of being rejected again if I were to bring up the talk. Any advice?

[@joeydrakeward4077]

I just had the most emotional 2 weeks with an ex I work with. I took her for granted back in February and she left a couple weeks later in March for another coworker. It’s been 6 months, which is now September. 2 weeks ago they broke up and her and I work side by side. Well, I had to do some heavy begging by agreeing to kiss her boot publicly. That action that she never thought I’d do sparked a lot of good conversation and smiling from her. She was finally engaging again. She even went as far as telling me, she’d been thinking about what I did a lot. My actions spoke louder than words and it made her smile from ear to ear. Unfortunately she went back to this guy. They moved in together two or three weeks after our original split. Rumor is she tried to kick him out and because he moved in so quick he was homeless from the start. Where is he supposed to go if he never has a place to live when they first met? Now they are currently “relearning one another”. I chose to be forthright with her but now she’s become distant again. I even feel like I’m bothering her. I laid it out for her. That she’d better make sure she’s happy because I’d really like a second chance. I think I gave her too much power because on Friday at the end of the day, she told me to leave her alone. She’s either at stage 3, confused and thinking about things or I knocked myself back to stage 5, if not further. Either way, Monday should be a nightmare.

What if she is the one who caused the break-up by cheating. Also how do I deal with the fact that she is now sort of in stage 2 but she still doesn't talk to me so we can't really have a conversation. I can talk to her about pretty deep emotional subjects but she just listens.

[@ClayAndrews]

Hi GSF, I understand that this can be confusing, and that there are a lot of emotions that you have to process. It's totally normal to have mixed feelings about a breakup for your ex to feel guilty about ending things with you. She may not be ready yet to open up emotionally and talk about what happened, but she'll get there eventually. Give her time to heal from the loss of your relationship before trying too hard to reach out or make amends. Just be patient with yourself and with her-you've both been through something difficult, and it's only natural for both of you to need some time before jumping back into having that deep personal conversation again. Have you checked our Ex Solution Program course (www.modernlovbe.life/esp) ? We cover these process in depth inside the course and this might help you on your journey further. :-)

[@livwithnewinsight]

Great content! I have a question/concern. I understand the notion of rebuilding a connection with your ex and enjoying and building on positive experiences. But shouldn't there be a conversation about what the goals or intentions are at some point? I'm asking because just because an ex reaches out, says I miss you or suggests to meet up still doesn't mean it's genuine or they don't have selfish motives. It could be ego or to keep you as a placeholder. How do you determine without having the convo? should you have the convo?

[@cosmic_moments]

This is a great question

umm i think im at the riding the dragon stage. he would send me little texts to get my attention again then lmk he does miss me. after we met up he is thinking maybe it was a mistake. has been distant since. he is telling me he is now "confused about his life' and "feels weird" it's been like 5 days of this :( i am just trying to respect his space n hope he comes back soon..

Heyy clay. im having a conversation with my ex this weekend. She wants to talk to me 1 on 1, i dont know what to expect. Do you know if this is 1 of these stages? Ty for making this video

[@ClayAndrews]

Hi Damien, yes it could be one of the phases but of course, you still have to observe any consistent factors in your dynamics. Usually, if our ex slowly opens up with us, it starts with the Test Drive phase. But overall, we recommend to stay in the present moment and enjoy the time together. :-)

What to do if they’re both not talking to you, responding texts messages, but when you meet them personally they show also signs of the riding the dragon stage like confusion and mixed feelings?

[@amberwright7462]

What if you've not fully broke up broke up . Where he pulled away said he thinks he should be single . But then later same day he was confused and thinking about us . Says he loves me , but is scared from past hurts etc. We've went lower contact to give him some space,but talk daily etc. I feel like it's pretty much the crisis point with a mix of the confusion.

she broke up after 3 1/2 years to make experiences. i gave her space and went into meditation and spirituality to fix some broken abilities i had from my childhood. one month later she said she had sex with someone else because it was just easy going (we had troubles here for a long time) but she knows now, that she needs love to have sex. she says that she loves me more than anything and that i feel family to her but at the same time she feels free now. i try just to be there for her and talk to her but not in a pushy way, she still has her space but its hurting me a lot and messing up my good/bad energy. its like she/we went through 4 of those 5 stages in a single week now. its exactly 8 days that we have contact again, we met and talked a lot, cried a lot, opened up in a totally new way. she also hopes that we find back together but she feels lost and confused atm. what shall i do? :(

[@stubbornkitty1649]

My ex reached out a couple of days ago, it would have been our anniversary. Initially he told me he'd been thinking about me, we had a bit of a back and forth, he was very vague but i believe he was saying he was sad that all of our plans didnt exist anymore. Then he said something like i guess its a time thing and never messaged back. It really hurt tbh because id been doing well, that was day 25, so im guessing thats riding the dragon?

[@kmold0033]

....Been broken up for 3 mo, 2 mo no contact... she wanted to be friends but I didn’t, so I pulled away slowly respecting her wishes. She always said things like “if I don’t reach out to you I’m sure you’d never reach out to me” and now she’s just posting/liking bitter stuff on fb “oh when you move on after the end of a relationship” or “YOURE not afraid of love ur afraid of someone destroying you like the last person” “no one notices when the strong one is tired” etc. I wanted to reach out but now i think maybe I should wait she’s clearly angry and not receptive. It upsets me she’s putting me in a negative light even when she knew I didn’t want this and I was trying/working on myself . I barely post on Social media anymore but when I do I make sure it’s very normal, casual, loving, grateful, overall positive....she always views my stories. I’m trying not to be very affected by this and overall I’ve gotten better at it, but I just think it’s interesting.. When I first broke up it seemed like she was always distracting herself with friends video games etx, but now maybe she’s having more time to think and it’s finally hitting her... I’m not sure what to do

[@jimmygee3219]

Keep doing nothing. Exes drag people through the mud, it’s normal emotions. She’s clearly thinking OF you in some way and is clearly upset you’ve chosen the no contact treatment. Keep bettering yourself. Either she’s going to decide to reach out and fix things or she’s not and you’ll have spent a lot of time working on yourself and getting better

[@goldy140]

My bf started a rebound as he assumed I rejected him ended our love when he reached out to me wit regret , love after our 2nd breakup , he is a FA, he brokeup (took space for misunderstandings ,triggers few times , but came back within a month in my NC, eachtime we got mo closer) I texted him I didnt abandon him or end. He responded with care, but didnt msg yet or leave the rebound. Then I went NC. Then he is reaching out indirectly tru his friend (last month) & he came to see me (last week) to an even in our college as he knows Im there & had eye contact purposely few times, he is afraid of losing me & loves me still. But still he didnt leave the rebound I assume & he didnt msg me to reconnect. He always waits for me to msg 1st.. But still its not the right time as I feel , 1st the rebound must fail. 😐 He meets me rarely now as he left our college last year, but we had connection ,chats till Sep. But he meets this rebound weekly in his class. will he breakup with the rebound & come back to me? When?

I wish i had seen this sooner. Me and my ex broke up about 2 weeks ago and at first he would still hug and kiss me, but then later he asked for no contact which confused me, i would then hear rumors about him talking to this girl and i brouvht it to his attention and he denied it so i trusted his word. After we had no contact, he talked to me the next day and we spoke, i told him that we're both kids and we make mistakes what matters is that we fix rhem ahd dont make them again. We then spoke a little after that and he would sometimes want to hug and kiss me and it felt amazing but then he asked for no contact again, which made me feel confused and kinda hurt, but i understood, i stupidily told him how it made me feel and it made things escalate. We talked and i told him im trying to hard to fight for him and i wabt this to work, and that hes worth the fight, but then he said i need to stop cause its bad for my mental health and he doesnt know if he wants this. I didnt know what to say i was speachless and heart broken. He rold me to speak about what i felt so i did, and he said that i didnt treat him good or give him equal love. I didnt know what to say, i said i wish i known sooner that he was feeling rhag way so i couldve fixed it and that i didnt know i wasnt loving him the way he needed to be loved, he said he tried telling him. I said we could have fixed rhis with a long talk, if we talked it out it couldve helped even a little, so i asked him to tell me whay i did wrong and to talk to me about it in person, and he said this Saturday could probably work, so now im just waiting to find out if he can. He said he doesnt know if things will be right atleast not right now, and that he always will love me even if we dont work out. What do i do now ?

[@mariak9731]

It's been a long time since we broke up. I moved to another country and previously I sent him some messages but I was barely getting a response. In December he was really rude with me, and in a rage explosion I told him he was a psycho. A few days ago I had a new about a friend and I don't know why, I texted him to tell him about the event. He responded a bit confused (regarding the last chat we had) but he kept the conversation (way better than I thought and answering really quick), he asked me if I was back in my home country and how was everything. At the end of our chat, I told him I was very sorry about how I treated him and he said: "don't worry, I know". I can't stop thinking on him, probably we'll never get back together, but I'm happy that I could tell him sorry and now I feel that the breakup wounds are healing. At the same time I can't stop thinking if he's letting a door open considering I'm going back to my country in 3 months.

Is it possible to go backwards when we are currently at stage 4 ? She left me 2 months ago, she clearly says that she still loves me, she realizes more and more what she lost (in her own words) and she is ok having intimacy sometimes but she thinks we should still have no contact for the next weeks. She is not happy all by herself and being in love with me could prevent her, for now, to find happiness when she is alone because she wouldnt care about herself enough. I am ready to wait because I care about her needs and her healing process but I just worry that she moves on during this time. What should I do ? Should I show her that I am still here without being intrusive ?

Clay Andrews Your videos helped me pull through the 5 months of post break up & my ex bf came back to me during mid Nov telling me that he wants me back and he shared about his fears of about being a poor temper partner like his father, as well as his concerns about Covid19 impacting the travel restrictions (we didn’t have issue about long distance until Covid 19 hits). But we decided to give our relationship another try. We slept together the same day the came back to me but I did made it clear that I’m not into friends with benefits and asked him if we’re back into a committed relationship, he said yes. We went out 4 dates in the last 2 weeks but mostly I initiate them and his behavior was mostly cold and impatient. He doesn’t talk much except about his new hobby. He doesn’t text me with all the emojis like before. He avoided celebrating my bday on the day itself but still celebrates it during the weekend. When it is his bday he gave excuses that he’s busy on his bday and we celebrate it earlier. He did brought me to meet 3 of his close friends. But his behavior has been hot & cold. His entire family is against us getting back together. He said that he doesn’t feel the same way about me & the spark he used to have with me after going out 4 dates in the 2 weeks that we reconnect again. He just doesn’t feel like talking with me the way he used to because he doesn’t feel like it and his is unsure of what he is feeling, he just wants a break from this and be alone. We’ve had sex few times during this 2 weeks. He wasn’t cold in sex, it is still good. Clay, will you help me please? How can I make him feel the spark again? He is now back to neighboring country for work. My colleague also told me that she saw my ex bf (or should I call him bf again) is on Tinder. I haven’t confront him about tinder but I know if I do it now, with his heart not into me, things will be worse than now?

riding the dragon is getting quite disheartening .. as she only just entered it , every positive pull back seems to put us back into test drive . there is a lot of anger at me for changing myself after we separated . don't help that she is living with her rebound so our interactions are brief and only really when she is picking up or dropping off our children . all but one of them interactions have been positive.
