When You Should NOT Take Your Ex Back

[@Padme.princess22]

Padme here 🤓 Thank you Craig & Victoria, you 2 are the best ❤️ Thought I’d add a little more context since it’s a very shortened version of the story and it’s easy to draw false conclusions. My case is a good example of when you know too much about psychology, attachment and trauma, it can backfire if you aren’t conscious enough. I was deep into these subjects so I was able to see why he was so broken. I knew there was a little boy lost inside of him who wanted to be loved but was shielded strong to protect himself. I saw the good in him just like Padme did in Anakin. Sadly this can bring out such immense amount of empathy it starts to damage and hurt you. And that was the lesson I had to learn here. I hope my story will help those in similar situation to see that: 1. It’s okay to believe someone when they tell you something. It is not your fault when they don’t keep their word. 2. It’s a good thing to feel empathy and compassion towards people. 3. Seeing the good in others doesn’t make you stupid or deserve poor treatment. 4. Ruminating on “could’ve” and “should’ve” scenarios won’t change anything. 5. Not everyone can leave immediately, cold turkey. However! 1. You can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. 2. You have to draw the line and not try hugging a hedgehog when you’re already bleeding. 3. Just because you see why someone is hurt doesn’t mean they see it (or want to see it) too. Also it doesn’t jusitfy their behaviour especially when it’s detrimental to you. We all do the best we can in the situations life brings us with the knowledge we have. It’s okay to make mistakes, everybody does. But smart people learn from them.

When they been sleeping with someone else. Forget it

[@mmt2310]

Yep 100%.

Once they’ve given themselves to another person, especially physically it’s wraps

[@mint_soup9743]

Thank you for making this. Seriously. 💗

[@Zfaith_fitness_detox]

I was married to this and had a very similar situation. It’s not okay and when you finalize realize you’re safe and will be okay without them, you will be happier and more whole than ever. God is good!

Victoria = Sith Lord with dark psychology powers

[@carlfreiermuth5424]

and how do we become in such a way that we would not only tolerate this kind of treatment but go back to wanting more of it.... probably because the person's parents or caregivers were manipulative to say the least, coming from a loveless household and not even realizing it. sometimes things need to get worse before they get better. as terrible as the experience can be, it just might be an eye-opener so that the person can start doing the much-needed work. this video sounds very similar to what I have been through. I will absolutely never be the same and that is probably for the best.

This should have CHILLED way back at seeing each other too much too soon (w or w out his recent relationshi/kid) and unprotected sex 😮

[@carlfreiermuth5424]

[@heidigraceo]

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

He wanted to be a power couple......... bahahahaha......my chest son.....power couple ....what the actual f*ck???? Lol....poor Victoria.....its gonna be a special day when she loses it on camera

[@user-yq4cd2ux8k]

Wow the guy in the email sucks so so so bad lol

[@Croy617]

The guy in the story sucks

[@sehzadelee]

what struck me is how both of the coaches trashed the healthy guy she met after breaking up with the toxic guy, they simply brushed , oh she didnt have feelings for him and he was too nice. This kind of behaviour also teaches men , being nice gets you friendzone and you need to be like the toxic guy. Honestly, I am appalled.

[@wendymartin6479]

He is just not that into you.

[@rulonjjj]

You have to remember, she’s a woman and her emotions are all over the place. If she was truly being treated wrong, she’d walk away permanently.

[@nickus51]

That's gaslighting, don't do it.

[@walesz92]

You managed to make an unnecessary and rude comment today. Congratulations. I highly recommend videos on why people don’t leave abusers. I assure you it’s not because “they are women with feelings”. And also don’t forget Craig’s videos on empathy and compassion.

[@KFChildren13]

Wow and she still wanted to take him back? Especially after the having kids one day comment? I would’ve flown off the handle
