​@paolar.6408 my ex of nearly 12 years moved out in the night while I was sleeping without a word, text, or note. I loved him wholeheartedly and was 100% in our relationship. We had a family, a home, and a life together. And he just walked away like I was nothing to him. I was happy and thought everything was good between us.

My husband of 22 years left me after our 7 year old passed away. He said he wants me to find a better man for me because he's not ok anymore. Losing our son destroyed us both. Reading your comment just now made me think I MUST learn how to move on. Although I likely will stay single for a very long time, if not forever.

[@luckystroke]

@steph6337 Unfortunately, in cases of death some people react in a selfish way, not taking into consideration that the other person is also devastated. I witnessed a similar situation, too, where a family member cut relations with us after the death of a family member. It happens with a lot of people it seems but you can never forget whom wasn't there in a moment of need.

[@TonganJedi]

She left. I felt some sadness but mostly relief. That's a pretty good sign that things were not good. I am grateful to her for pushing me away, because I suspect I would have continued to fight for a relationship that was only in my mind.

I needed to hear this so i can slapped my face. I fell inlove with an old man who is 25 years older than me. Im 51. I met him thru online and chatted with him for almost a year and i got attached that i even went to see him in his country. But when i was there i almost begged for his attention and affection.. he was with me the entire days that i was there but i never felt the love that i recieved when we were chatting.. he never hugged me and never looked at me. He talked to me like im just his buddy.. and when i left he never even kissed me at the airport or touch me. He just said have a nice trip and it was my pleasure thats all.. i was so broken becoz i thought seeing him can stablished the relationship but i was wrong..i never enjoy my vacation and at the same time i came home with a heavy heart because he never talked to me again since came home..

I have to admit that I just ended a relationship, knowing that it was the thing to do. It was an unhappy relationship. It was unhealthy. Despite me choosing to end things, I feel that we could have salvaged the relationship, but there were quite a number of things that contributed to the disillusionment of the Union. You’re correct. That obsessive rumination is horrible. It’s as if you are stuck in a loop, a vicious cycle. The thing is, the more we focus on the loss, the hurt, the grief, etc, the more we’ll be stuck in that zone. I know that our relationship was a trauma bonded one but I still wish it hadn’t ended. I’m just so tired of the repetitiveness of the destructive relationships that I attract.

I have gone through a terrible break up after 30 years, and when I suddenly found myself alone I didn't even know who I was. 4 years passed and little by little I started to invest in my interests and I am whole again. When you are are a survivor of a Narcissist relationship, the healing is very hard, because you don't only grieve the loss of the person, the attachment you fantasied you had, the future you were going to have and the real future you are going to have. It's a very komplex grief. Still , your advice goes for everyone, and it helps even for us survivors, there is a life after and it can be a much better one.

I relate to you guys in a big way. Before anything else, *no* judgement against folks who accepted those who dropped them back into their lives. Sometimes, the decent ones make honest mistakes, and take the wrong people for granted. However, these are exceptions. And in my case, things don’t even have to be romantic. I discovered when certain relatives and “buddies” abandoned me, and returned, then I took them back, I was ALWAYS SORRY I did. It’s beautiful when people who stay in your life are those who neither disrespected nor judged you when you made them your everything, then rejoiced with you when you finally learnt to stand on your own legs.

I’m more so trying to stay focused on allowing myself to grieve when I need to, but realizing there’s more to life and moving on, however I can and it’s amazing how the universe led me to your video. Thank you for all that you do. I just bought your book also and looking forward to reading it to develop more coping skills ❤

🎉🎉 PHEW BRAVO😍🎉 JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR !! ... Shine the light back on my potential & career square as a musician and dance teacher ... Which then makes me realise I don't need him.. he needs me more than I need him... He keeps copying my work? This is the only thing we argue about as we're best friends usually. And geuss that's what I was holding onto but ... Nope no more, his life is all over the place and I've forgotten to shine the light back on my life.. ... I'll let the idea of him shrink + disappear now so I can put the spotlight back onto myself for once. ... Even physically writing this has helped... Make it tangible... 💪🏼😎❤️

My partner just broke up with me this past weekend. I bottled my emotions when I was upset, unable to process and communicate them because of my trauma. I tried to work on it but by that time we had grown too distant. She prioritised my needs and had lost her sense of self and no longer loved herself. I feel horrible for all the pain I caused her but I still deeply care for her. We’re currently in a period of no contact. I want to use these experiences, lessons and our love to drive my growth and healing but some part of me hopes that one day we can reconnect and be together again

[@J1989-t2d]

I just had to breakup today with the woman I was going to marry because she basically ghosted me. No texts back, nothing. I broke it off because she already broke it off apparently. I'm confused and hurting, feeling abandoned. Listening to you helps a lot.

[@sihr07]

MH has been helping me drag myself out of the myself out for years. It hasn’t been easy and (ashamed to say) still in my 4th year of closing a heartbreak. But, I know that that this healing has indeed made me stronger and given me peace, instead of just trying to force ‘moving on’. Though I know there’s still some patching to do I had never loved my life and myself more and the outlook is bright Who would have imagined that? 🥰🌟 For everyone struggling right now, IT GETS BETTER, I promise.

[@mirosDV]

Thank you much for your encouragement!

[@TheForeverLoveKD]

Hihi, It is very true. Im at 4.5 years. It really only gets better..

[@rillawren]

My boyfriend broke up with me and wouldn’t tell me specific reasons. I was devastated. Then I had to go into the hospital for five days for tests. He appeared today, and we realized that it’s his problem with letting himself feel anything that was making him feel our relationship wouldn’t last. I’m glad I watched this because it gives me strength and I hope it will help him understand that, if we work on ourselves, we might get a brand new relationship with each other, but even if not, I will be okay. He will not keep me stuck. Should I share this video with him? Thank you for making this! 🙏🏻

[@blaiseragon8142]

Let him go ! People don't change overnight. If you were happy with him, you can try but if it's only hope that keeps you alive, then move

[@AnnaBrees]

This is a great video and you have a such a caring and warm way of communicating. Thanks for sharing this

[@WendyAnsell]

This video is the biggest eye opener for me, I thank you so very much for sharing it with the world, u are an amazing man, Mr. Hussey, it makes soooo much sense to me now, I have been trapped in this matrix of the relationship is supposed to be everything, when it doesn't happen what to do I was lost for so long until I found the answer, thank you

[@xdustyxsteedx21]

You really helped me manage an intense amount of pain today.. I often bottle things up for months, years, and feel it all at once in rather terrifying bouts lasting weeks - months.. While i may not be out of the storm yet, every day gor for the past 10 days now have been some of the most empty, sad, pained, days i have ever felt and i thought i was getting used to this.. Your words are, at least for the moment, really helping redirect my focus in a better way. I really hope you have the things that make you feel complete you deserve them, and I hope the passion for those things never escape you..

[@shaunp5033]

My Ex left me because I was the female in this story. She even told me when breaking up with me that I need to find myself, find happiness within and that she was in the way of me doing this. After 3 weeks crying over her and feeling sorry for myself, I'm really focusing on doing things for myself, now I'm outside the relationship, I can see it clearly, and how I was acting. Thankyou so much for this video and this concept ❤️ I will absolutely work on pointing the spotlight to my kids and other joys of life

[@Petrosmurf9]

Met a girl 3 months ago. We were calling each other babe, hubby and wifey, then randomly she became distant, phone calls stopped, month later we chatting again. Feel like I’m backtracking and restarting but I really like this girl, thanks for your advice. Been using your tips and I’ve been feeling more comfortable.

[@ivanabadzim1303]

Why dont u ask her whatever us bothering you?

[@SamiraLelsie]

Great advice based on the assumption that everyone has friends or a support system.

[@jaydub7386]

Most of us don't have any of that.

[@MMEarlene]

This is 100% true, i couldn't sleep and obsses n suffocate the relationship. This really slap hard. I know i lost myself in this obsession but i didnt notice how to build back myself. This identity matrix is something i had strong in my life but lost everytime im obsessed with a guy that i like. Thank u for the reminder.

[@nicolawilliams8817]

We broke up about a month ago, remained in contact and even met up a few times. It was a very toxic relationship and I know the break up is for the best but I just can't let him go. It sucks

[@katieinohio5]

Give it time. Time helps to heal. Keep busy. Be with friends. Start new hobbies. Stay strong. You WILL feel better soon.

[@pankajsemalti7498]

I am going through the same loved her like everything thing despite almost zero efforts from her now trying no contact but its killing me every second

The quality of Matt’s content has increased so much, from my pov. And I’ve been listening to him since 2014. ❤

[@walkthroughthestorm39]

I've seen him before but didn't listen because I was toxic. Now I'm more together with myself I can see my ex of 4 years can't do a relationship rn. I know if he gets a new gf she would end up feeling bad because he isn't as healthy as he likes to think he is. I have fostered a child so she has a safe place and my focus is on her emotional wellbeing now, not my ex's. I'm listening to MH and it's helping my brain form new pathways. The road is long.

[@DollCity-v4y]

Absolutely fantastic structured.advice

[@binhly-dx1lt]

I actually need this now, perfect timing. Thank you for such a valuable advice.

[@DarylSimpson58]

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

[@peterwilliams6361]

its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back

[@DarylSimpson58]

Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?

[@peterwilliams6361]

Her name is chamani White, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.

[@DarylSimpson58]

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive

[@shandisalynn547]

I needed this video because my whole life did fall apart including the breakup. Rebuilding everything in my life and this made me rethink a lot. Thank you got this.

[@Alicia-dn6xq]

Thank you so much, Matthew!! This is exactly the kind of advice that I need right now to start healing. I made a mistake in made her the number one priorite in my life and because of that I felt that my entire world was falling apart. But now I am going to really start investing in other areas of my life.

[@rockybolick9646]

For me the thing I let shrivel was the gym. Now that my realtionship is over, I'm taking that back up. It's the only thing that really makes me tired enough, so that I don't think of her.

[@AlPal4554]

Thank you for the amazing advice, as always. My “break up” was after a short period of time together but I had had feelings for him since I was 14 (I’m now 30). Hearing him confess to me earlier this year felt like a dream come true. I definitely made him and a potential future together my focus. I’ve been struggling to value much of my life since he decided he didn’t want to pursue it anymore. I know that more tough days are ahead, but having tools to get through those times has always really helped me. To answer your question, I think some of my shrunken old boxes are writing and reading, and for my new box, I’d like to learn bass guitar. 📦 🎸🔥🖤 I look forward to the future version of myself now instead of a future with him. Thanks again, Matthew!

[@billybilljr867]

This hit the nail on the head, I’m mean everything you said is exactly how I feel. Wow man, I’m working on building up myself. Thank you

[@racheldabney8787]

You save my life Mathew lost Someone to addiction he is in rehab and I have not heard from him now I found that box getting huge for him now this helps my brain visually understand what needs to change to not feel stuck

[@walkthroughthestorm39]

I let my ex leave rehab and move in with me after 3 months there. I had saviour complex when he was saying that he wasn't getting medical attention while they isolated him in a run-down section of the house (covid). He used the communication phone to text me and play on my kindness, saying they didn't give him a health check, doctor or proper food and he is ready to leave. It would have been much better for him to do much longer and be discharged to his own property but we live and learn.

[@IngridAngelo-um4qf]

After my spouse of five years departed, I was left in despair. Despite attempting multiple forms of therapy, none offered solace. Thankfully, Aurelia Maisie Goelet, a spiritual guide, intervened and facilitated our reconciliation. Seek her out online for guidance. You should really look her up, especially for that addiction problem you mentioned. Best of luck

[@sharifasharifi3805]

You are amazing! Thank you for all your help! ❤

[@alifairbank1739]

Clever clever Matthew! Makes absolute sense. You have to reach a point though where you want to do this - it takes time to get back up and pull ourselves together. But once you can then this I believe is the absolute BEST advice to move forward with . It’s a win win! X

[@Luke-gs6kz]

The most important video I have ever seen, cannot thank you enough

[@11burnout]

I needed this to!

[@marjanbehjatnia5613]

Also, this video empowers me. A great reminder on how not to lose one's self in any relationship. To stand tall, confident and always be aware of your own needs , wants , and worth. Thank you again!!

[@Ara328]

I broke up with someone 2.5 years ago and haven’t been able to move on because of hope that he would grow and we would work out. Maybe I would have moved on by now if I were had done strict no contact. I know now that there is no hope and I want to move on now. My new square: making healthy food choices, exercising often, and losing weight. I’ve always wanted to be a fit person but I’ve never had the discipline or time. I want to make that time, I know this would help me notice my inherent value better.

[@mariiaisa3053]

Grateful for support my father gave us!

[@Praaaise]

I’m 6 months in a heartbreak and still feel the pain everyday, i miss that person alot and have no confidence, i felt like she was the absolute love of my life, we were so happy untill 5 weeks before the end she was unhappy and i was trying to understand if it was me and she said it wasn’t it was her and how she felt, the hardest thing is she was my bestfriend the one i went to for everything and loved with my whole heart, i wish her all the best and i hope she is happy and i can get to the point of happiness soon

[@tedtalksrock]

Matthew, everything you put out is the gold standard in content. I’m happily married, and I still love watching all your videos. There’s so much depth and nurture, and wisdom there. Thanks for all you do.😊 Ps Even though I’m partnered, I bought the book, honestly, just to “give back” for all the wonderful material I’ve enjoyed from you and your crew over the years.❤

[@joshmitwit]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing your wisdom... Clearly, succinctly, relatable, and with conviction.

[@northmann1971]

Thank you Matthew, I saw this video with tears in my eyes, I needed to hear everything what you said.

[@authines]

This is sooooo true and wise words of wisdom!🙌 If we put more legs under our table and have other interests and things we are passionate about. We won’t be holding onto a relationship because it’s our whole identity!❤❤👏This spoke to me, I needed to hear this. It’s so very true. Thank you for pointing this out to me!😊

[@iixqueenbee]

oh my goodness that warning towards the end of the video hit hard

[@RegenaO]

I'm sorry for your loss ❤

[@usersss100]

thanks Matt for the video. currently undergoing a breakup. i drew up my matrix. but yet to figure out what to fill up in the biggest box. in the old matrix, it was her with the rest being my hobbies, friends etc. i didnt neglect the rest of the other boxes. Hope I can try out the other activities and get myself out of this phase.

[@rajshreerathore369]

Thank you so much for making this video 🙏🙏🙏 I really needed this, don't want anybody back from my past but I was struggling with things to move on with my life and you gave us this new Matrix challenge is so powerful... I've read the book already but this video made me so happy, I've been working on my Matrix but now I know how to enrich it more... Thanks again... ❤❤❤ Sending you lots of love and positive vibes 🤞🥰 Stay blessed 🙌

[@JheyEpinosa]

Actually i already have my list of the squares before i had my relationship. I just focused the spot light then on my relationship forgetting the other squares i already built. Now im bringing back my focus to them. And i wish to add one which you suggested. ❤❤ Thank you for letting us relearn things. 😊

[@Jameelah147]

Wow this video is gold! Matthew is hundred percent right, have other areas in your life that you focus and invest in ❤

Hi Matthew. Thanks for your incredibly helpful videos. They came to me at the right time. My very intense relationship ended two days ago, and I have gone through what you describe. Thanks for the reminder to focus back on all the other areas of my life.

[@jappieportia860]

I really enjoyed watching this video, it really helped me shift my focus from the love relationship alone to other things that really matters in my life, thank u Matthew Hussey.

[@sawaljawabpolitical4013]

Matthew, you have explained the situation and emotions on the basis of reality. And the feelings and emotions which you have mentioned, those are the real feelings if anyone is going through this phase. Thank you very very very much! for this life lession

[@brandonmcniel971]

Im working with the person i just cutt off. I am deeply ashamed to admit that my lack of self care has ruined what wouldve been a beautiful friendship, just because i wanted more from her when i wanted more from myself. I never share on here but i just wanted to say thank you beautiful people.

[@perasmus8359]

I honestly needed this video! Thank you for giving me a better perspective of life and how to live my life!

[@willashsteph]

Thank you. Today, i made a list of my friends and family that are in my life. It puts things in perspective as to focus on.

[@JF-cd5hc]

I told her she was my world. I gave her my time and my soul. Like you say, the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. That's how I think she felt about me. Indifferent. And it fucking sucks! Nine years. All gone. And for what.
