[@ShinySilverBunny]

This is an extremely mature perspective. Many are still stuck in their child hood or teen years wanting excitement but are not built for consistency of a lasting relationship. Sadly I think technology and easy access to cheap casual sex is to blame as well. No one wants to invest in stability nor are they equipped for it. I don't want them if that's how they will be... Gotta be reliable and safe and secure as that is what builds trust.

[@stevenalderley9036]

Yeah I think this is what I've gone through recently. Someone who is a grown adult but still in her teen years in her mind. She wanted stability and a long term relationship (at the start) and we seemed very right for each other in that sense But as soon as that early honeymoon period started to wear off, she bailed. Obviously when one person is seeing the relationship as something with so much more potential and the other has this pretty childish way of thinking and suddenly just drops you because they're bored, it can be heartbreaking.

Ismail Patel I disagree. I had someone like this but she’s young. She’s a full time nursing student. Full time work. She was head over heals for me, I gave her a painting I made to thank her for her kindness and excitement and the trust she had in me. It hurt that she went cold but since then our eyes have met and the same amazing smile comes over her face that she had last year all the time. But she catches herself and looks away. I also saw a psychic who said she would come back to me later in the year. She even saw us travelling together. But her change made me really look inward. I’m learning how to love myself. Trust myself. Which I’ve never done honestly before. I care for her a lot but I’m learning to let go. I’m learning to live in the moment and trust in the universe. She’s the first person to show real interest in me, in a real moment of vulnerability she said she believed in me and had faith in me. And I know she still does. And I’m at the point where if she comes back it will be amazing but if she doesn’t that’s ok too. I have learned so much because of her, she’s given me a lot, more than she knows. But I gotta take her off the pedestal cause we’re equals. Equals on this journey that’s life. Some might play mind games but from my experience that’s not the case. Those who do are doing so out of some kind of fear, and like was said here, perhaps some kind of inexperience with how to move forward.

I'm a year out of a relationship that was just this sort of thing: 2 months love-bombing and then 5 weeks of distancing and the discard. Shocking how dismissive she was after the first 8 weeks! My take: Likely BPD with a touch of covert narcissism. I'm not a certified anything, but boy have I researched! So it's just my opinion, because this was all so unusual. My advice, and things to watch for (from this experience): If it feels like manipulation, it's most likely manipulation! Stonewalling is a purposeful assertion of control, and unnatural silent stretches are indeed "the silent treatment", be it for more control or actual relationship sabotaging maneuvers. I only spoke up once when I was rudely cancelled on (last minute, no good reason) from a mutually agreed upon prearranged date. We got past it... and I glossed over what really was right in front of my eyes: this person was not prepared for the longer haul. What started out as a pleasant kind of "girlishness" in this 53 year old women was really a lack of maturity and depth. Yep, I got my heart broken... but I did eventually stand by what I consider to be healthy boundaries (I require mutually respectful, open communication) so her TEXTED discard (yes, a text message!) left things pretty much done. I responded politely and with care, but that was her ghosting of me. No contact a year now. She was with a new guy within 2 months of our parting. I like me. I was treated badly by her. I don't need that, so moving on. It took a tough year to get here though. Get counselling if you get really low. I did, and it helped. Take care all .

[@kaylasheppard7746]

This is SO TRUE

[@guntherachterhof4876]

I don't know how about the rest of you, boys and girls, but in my life, the one who is always consistent, and doesn't withdraw all of a sudden, is my wonderful Border Collie 😊

[@SusanWinter]

Nikka agrees.

[@abowling5759]

You said it, Susan, they don’t have the ethics to sustain in a relationship. It’s important to love ourselves enough to accept that some people, no matter how amazing they appear to be, are really quite limited as far as their ethics. And the best thing we can do is leave if the person is not willing to be open and honest.Very criticallay important to believe them right when they show you who they really are. I love the lessons I have learned. Appreciate your great videos, Susan!💜

[@pam164]

Narcissist's do this they love bomb you then your devalue you, but it happens in other relationships too. Good video.

[@lubawilliams4309]

Sometimes people distance themselves for other reasons, some are introverted and get overwhelmed.

[@jackiejames3898]

That's true. I also think that us introverts get overwhelmed when things aren't quite right with someone. Your intuition kicks in and knows something's off.

[@renep7008]

Jackie James And sometimes the introvert is off.

[@iceblueaquamarina7389]

Just experienced it - once again. 😐 Thank you for that eye opener, Susan. We tend to think that WE did something wrong, too late, too soon. Why could we not meet their expectations? Could we have done something differently? What we hardly ever consider is what you said! And the moment you showed that peak and decline I said “Yes, excactly! That’s what happening to me. OMG, it’s happening to Susan Winter, too?!” And I suddenly spot that pattern. I fall for extremely cute guys that are always enthusiastic at the beginning and after weeks and months this enthusiasm is gone. I did not change. But why did they change? It is their problem! Whether they get bored easily, want to date as many women they can, feel too close or just can’t be the dream guy for more than a short amount of time. Thank you so much for this video! ❤️😘

[@tuff47]

Getting closure is a very difficult part for me.

[@Sams911]

right about 3 months into it, she lost all interest... went from good morning texts every day to breaking up with me... over a year later I'm juts now getting over it.

[@markfindlay8636]

You're not alone!

[@hewcant9332]

3 months cmon man, try six years and then she hung up on me twice , blocked me and thn blamed me for not beng in touch! Women have a lot of growing up to do , and no I wont come back to you F** right off ex gf!

[@strongerasone2403]

Females experience this too. I wish people were upfront from the start. But I guess if they are mental and immoral they won't advertise it.

[@jenniferstokes7551]

I can't let him go. And I don't want to yet. We have always worked through all of our problems.

Does she have a hidden camera in my mind 😂

[@SusanWinter]

Preeti Oh I love this comment thank you so much

[@thehealthbodyfitness]

Yup you're Right Some People Are Only Good in The Beginning But Not for The Long Run That's Red Flag 😉

[@JoseRodriguez-bc7uz]

Thank you so much for this Susan. I went through a similar situation where everything seemed so rosy and perfect in the beggining, he was even making future plans. And then he suddenly disappeared. I wish I had led the focus into thinking: “is this all you can give me? Is this far that you can sustain it? Shame on you”, and walk away to mind my business, but instead I was caught in a wild spiral of self blaming, misunderstanding and started acting as you said: as an addict circling their drug. Trying to figure it all out on my own was very detrimental for my self steem and mental health, but at the moment it seemed like the right thing to do in order to solve the problem. But I was never the problem, it was him. He could not sustain it and that reason never made sense in my mind, but yeah some people are quite limited. Once you understand that it is much easier to free yourself from pain. x

[@yamiyoung]

Spot on! It’s happened to me over the years where one minute me and a girl are always talking then suddenly without warning they just blank me and treat me like I don’t exist or act a bit hostile when I didn’t do anything wrong. I would always ask myself what went wrong as there would be no given reason but I think often it’s because they weren’t totally nice and probably fake and/or like you said, it doesn’t go beyond stage one and they are just inconsistent. Great video :) it really hit home for me

[@reflect4627]

Interesting, well said and finally said " some are only good at part one". And then there are the ones that are lousy on part one, but great on the following parts. So maybe that dull boring geek could be a diamond found in the dirt. Cant judge a book by its cover. And all in all, I think most are doing the best they can with what they are mentally, emotionally equipped with, so if that is all the other person is capable of, then so be it. Hopefully it is a learning opportunity, then one needs to make a decision to move on or whatever it may be.

[@rebeccajones8628]

He would never give me even 5 minutes of conversation. I saw it was not going well. Then when he did not even wish me Happy New Year I lost my s#!£. I broke it off. He wss shocked. Now I feel less anxiety but I feel a void.

Thank you Susan, you are the voice of reason! It can really drive you absolutely crazy when you are right in the middle of it, you don't know how to deal with the situation and your confidence is already low to begin with.

[@SusanWinter]

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

[@johng.4959]

Such amazingly great observations Susan!! Everything you said is true!! Getting burned myself awhile back was so painful and now? Now I can actually see the truth of the matter. It's LIFE and it's here to teach us the TRUE value of things. Consistency!!! Dependability!! Rational! Caring and giving people. I've learned to let go of those old flames because its impossible to keep them alive. They were NEVER what I wanted, just a projection of my dreams. Better to go with reality and stop trying to make the connection work. Especially when they show their true colors. Thank you Susan! Amazing advice as always!! 👍

[@normapadro420]

I like this video. I have been through this many times. I learned a lot about myself also. I give 100% of myself every time, but get pushed away. I figured that since I'm not a needy person those individuals get everything they wanted. It hurt me, but I'm a survivor.

[@dj2844]

the consistent wow🔥

[@LaGrossePaulik]

Thank you Susan, I really needed to hear that. This is so relevant and it hit the right spot. I've binged your videos since yesterday, I know I'll watch some of them several times to digest the info. Obsession is so hard but now I understand it wasn't genuine love. Still I know I had a narcissistic parent and have to continue to fix my interpersonal relationship skills and boundaries (+ I have BPD so the rejection and feeling of emptiness are so damn hard). Thanks a lot and my thoughts to all of those, all of us searching for some peace. Let's have some self-compassion and self-love. Greetings from France ❤️

[@amberwren]

Very true. And people change. They may make poor choices and then it impacts the relationship you have. It hurts sometimes but worth the moments. Yes, love, self care, positive consistency, courage and discernment are key.

[@QuietlySoulful359]

It's great advice that can be applied to all sorts of relationships. Thanks Susan!

[@TheAnc3211]

This is gold!! Great information Susan. Perfect timing actually.

[@Mrsuperspartanman]

Wow thank you so much Susan. I’ve been going through this for a while with a girl. Going up and down constantly from adoring to ignoring and it’s been killing me! Like you were saying in this video, it doesn’t even have to be romantic. She’s my friend and I just really want her to take me as seriously as I take her, and it really hurts when she doesn’t support me how I support her. I hate that it feels like I’m chasing after someone who’s just a friend. Right now I’m just trying to stay away so I can heal and it seems like she doesn’t even give a damn like we were never friends even though she swears that we are. This situation sucks!

[@renep7008]

Mrsuperspartanman Her toxic behavior is YOUR TORTURE! Run away fast, and never look back. Now if only I could take my own advice.

[@rmjmoviereviews6876]

I had that just happen to me, and I'm 38 years old! I thought I was more on top of my game. I told her "I loved her", she been ghosting me for 4 weeks now, and hasn't returned my phone calls even after I wished her Happy Mother's Day. Well, I do love her but I know she's not good for me. But I do know my value now after seeing that she can't even see mine.

[@rochelledavenport4054]

RMJ, no matter how on top of our game we believe we are, with these people in these situations it's a No Win. Even when you know you have done nothing wrong, you cannot help feeling stupid when the drop comes. Recently I found an old diary of mine where I happened to write about the whirlwind phase, and reading it now there were that many red flags in this person's behaviour! He basically tells me point blank he has a history of failed relationships and a string of enemies, but of course at the time it was all fun and excitement. Now I understand why.

[@Bubagigant]

[@kianak9152]

Susan you are now one of my role models! I love your grounded confidence, how real you are and how you try to empower others as well. I'm sure many of your audience, as well as me, would love to know a bit more about you and your past experiences, career wise and relationship wise! I'm sure it will help many to see how they can grown from their own experiences.

[@SusanWinter]

Kiana K That is so sweet. I feel like I reveal a lot in these videos but those are more personal questions I guess about life and my own journey. I’d be happy to tell you about it. I started as an opera singer, became a corporate spokes woman For about half of the fortune 500 companies, and then moved into my own TV show on FNN - Financial News Network-Which is now CNBC
