In general, my holidays were nice, but I still am suffering a bit after my breakup, even though it's been over a year. But yesterday I finished the workbooks 1-5 and started on 6, I go running 3 times a week, eat better and in general, I'm in an excellent position. But I still do miss her. Btw, no reach out from her since September, where she never responded after I answered to her initial reach out... I guess I'm better off WITHOUT someone like that in my life. Still my brain and heart disagree. Thank you for your amazing work and support, I was so happy to see you posted a new video today! 😃

I know you think we (the dumpees) will be pining away waiting for you to contact us but be warned, with each passing day we get stronger and less emotional and we start to realise we can live without you. If there’s doubt anywhere in your hearts then act on it because your window of opportunity is closing. Love, The dumpees

same with the person dumped. if dumpers can move on same those dumped. there are so many fishes in the ocean. life is so simple. why make it complicated by breaking it apart and wait for the dumped to move towards the dumpers in the first place. When I was dumped, the no contact rule was effective in moving on and not on winning the dumper. dumpers remember this. If a man or woman is with high value and with a sense of dignity. Once they realized that they can live without the dumper, then they will start welcoming other better opportunities in life.

I'm the dumper. Watching these videos and learning about attachment styles has taught me a lot about who I am and how my relationship of 4 years got to the point it did. I realized because of my past traumas due to upbringing, family issues, and caregiving for my mom that was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was 21 has lead me me to be an anxious avoidant. I would lash out in arguments, and my way of solving it was threatening to break up even though I knew that's not what I wanted, but subconsciously that was my brain's way of coping and "solving" the issues. If there were inconveniences, I couldn't bring myself to just calm down and work through them and I thought getting mad about it would somehow make it better. Granted there were times where if I just focused I could handle it fine, but it felt like I had to really weed out the thoughts that made me just want to go off the deep end. Deep down inside I knew I wanted to marry her, but when she'd ask me about marriage it triggered me to avoid talking about it, but when I was alone doing my own thing, I'd find myself thinking about our wedding, imagining her name with my last name, where and how I would propose and so on. I still think about her all the time and I haven't stopped loving her any less. If anything, realizing what I could have done differently makes me love her more. It's been about 6 months and originally we were talking as friends for a little while, but as time went on it got really rocky. We've been in no contact now for about a month and she has apparently moved on with someone else. I regret everything I did, and it's the toughest thing since my mom passing realizing now the things I could have changed if I just recognized it more, and realizing just how much she means to me. I wonder if she still thinks about me 😔

For those that are experiencing no contact, let me tell you it works! both ways, for you and to let your ex miss you. Over a year later our breakup, she came back apologizing for everything she thinks did wrong and with full intentions clear to get back together. She's been in a relationship with a guy that treated her horribly compared to me. She said that she did try to make it work all this time, but could not help comparing him to me and how well I used to treat her. She did not forget me at all, which completely different of how I used to think she was without me. I wasn't expecting her to be back and I wasn't waiting, but now it is up to me to decide what happens. She did noticed all my changes and all she says is that she sees the value in my and she is proud of what i have accomplished.

Then did no contact again, this time it took him over a year to contact me but he's still the same him negative person, while I've become a high value gal thanks to coaches like Craig and Margaret ♥️👍.

I’m 24 and I was broken up with about 2 months ago. After this I had to reflect a lot about what was wrong. I came across many excellent resources. Craig and Margaret the dating guy the love chat and topic ex. Many of them talked about attachment styles. I turns out my ex and I were the classic anxious avoidant trap. It sucks because I took the time to reflect and she went on a rebound I haven’t heard anything from her since then. I still miss and want her back but recently I’ve started focusing on myself. Like Margaret said we have to refocus our energy. As an avoidant I did a lot of work by reading attached watching videos and also spending time with myself. I’ve been reading a lot of other books and doing a lot of reflecting ie behavioral therapy and journaling. I miss her but like Margaret says I am not that forgettable my attachment style might need work but I’m sure no ones loved her more than I have. And in time, she’ll realize that despite my flaws, I was willing to work on this for as long as it took.

However, there were periods where I gave into some insecurities, with the last one being a few days before she broke up with me (late April), and all she said was "I have thought about it a lot and I think that there are too many differences in your character that dont match with me, it is better to set you free find someone else." I did not respond and went immediately into no contact and i have not heard from her but a mutual friend messaged me saying she was worried that she didnt hear from me/give my opinion about what she thought and she wanted a "break" as opposed to a break UP and now she is doubting whether I cared for her or not.

I had no idea that I have an Avoidant attachment style until Coach Margaret helped me see myself more clearly. Now that I know more about attachment styles and I know myself better (Coach Craig’s videos, The Knowledge workbooks, Coach Margaret, etc), I look back at my life and I see the pattern. We Avoidants don’t know that we are pushing people away when we do it. It is not on purpose. We want love just as much as anyone else. But, just like the Anxious, we are unaware of the affect we have on those who love us. I am so glad that I now know and I have a course of action and am making the necessary changes. I am just so sorry that to finally reach this realization, I lost a woman I loved more dearly than anyone I have ever loved before. The question that haunts me most was when Coach Margaret asked me “do you think you pushed her away?” ...THUD!! It was at that moment...that very moment...when I realized...that it was me.

@D V I am no expert, but I would stick to what Coach Craig encourages us to do; stay in No Contact and hopefully she will come around eventually. In the meantime, work on yourself (many benefits to be gained). Also - and very importantly - allow yourself to grieve your loss. Don’t try to cover your grief with a rebound relationship or “hook ups”. Grief takes time to process and the deeper your love for the person, the longer your heart will need to grieve. Don’t try to push it, let your heart heal at it’s own pace. Work on becoming a better you and healing your heart. Hopefully, some day, she will sense what she gave up in you and will finally reach out to you. P.S. my ex never reached out to me...not once. Not everyone gets a second chance, but if you do get that chance, be ready and show her a better you the next time.
@bg1043 жыл бұрын
@D V Oh, no - on the contrary, she dumped me, DV. Broke my heart into a million pieces. I didn’t see it coming - though I should have. In looking back, I can recall numerous things she did or said which showed that she was questioning “us” and my love for her. But I felt confident (arrogant, maybe) that she felt the same way that I did; I thought I had finally found the woman I would be with for the rest of my days. Consequently, I took my eye off the prize and took her love and her presence in my life for granted. I am older than most here and have been through a marriage and several long-term relationships, but never before had I felt the sense of comfort and “permanence” that I felt with this woman. I didn’t recognize that she has an Anxious Attachment Style (Coach Margaret showed me that), and I overlooked her pleas for reassurance. She obviously wrestled with the decision for some time, but I was clueless. As Coaches Craig and Margaret teach us, by the time they have made the decision, it is too late to talk them out of it. But I tried! For the first two months after the break, I reached out to her 4 or 5 times via text and even sent her the dreaded “hand-written letter” (Ugh!!). I had not heard of Coach Craig or “No Contact” yet. At about the two-month mark she replied to one of my texts by telling me she “had met someone” and that I needed to move forward. I was shattered! Clearly she was rebounding to mask her pain. In the midst of my devastation, I found Coach Craig and learned about No Contact, and did not reach out to her again. I had a session with Coach Margaret 2 months later (~ 4 1/2 months after breakup). As I mentioned in my very first comment above (10 months ago, now), Coach Margaret enlightened me that I have an Avoidant attachment style and my lady-love has an Anxious attachment style. Previously, I would have thought the opposite, but Margaret revealed it to me and I now see the patterns (in both of us). Coach Margaret felt that as deeply as my ex had loved me, that she would reach out at some point. But now 1 1/2 years later, she has never reached out - not one time. Since learning about “No Contact” two months after the breakup, I have reached out twice - once by text, 7 months after the breakup, to wish her “Happy New Year”, and once by email, 6 months later (13 months after breakup). LinkedIn notified me that she had a new job, so I reached out via LinkedIn Mail to congratulate her. She replied each time with what could be termed a “cordial” and “polite” response of “Thank you, I hope you are doing well”. Nothing more, no questions about me, and no hint of any interest in any follow-up messages. I would love to hear from her, but at this point, the odds are certainly very low that she will reach out now. 18 months later, I go on occasional dates with other women. But I am not yet ready for another relationship. I still think of her and I still love her. My heart has not finished it’s grieving process over this one. Typically at the end of past relationships, I’m usually ready again after a few months. But as Coach Craig says “Every relationship is different, and every breakup is different.” This one was indeed special and my heart knows it. Some day, I’ll be ready to open up to another special woman again...but not quite yet.

I do need to attract healthier people. I only had one "healthy" girlfriend, we lived together for 7 years, and it turns out she has anxiety problems, she can't stay alone, and when she moved away for work, she completely changed, cheated on me and left. She was probably only with me all this time because she had moved away from her parents' for college, and I provided her with the security she had received from her parents until she was 18. I cooked her meals, helped her studies, encouraged her to get the master's degree, helped her write academic papers (one of which was published last week, I remember the night we were making the corrections that the journal had asked for it), I boosted her confidence, which used to be low, and only in our relationship did she sincerely start to feel she was a beautiful woman. It feels like I raised a baby bird, and she flew away. It is the 3rd week of NC. All other women I have ever attracted are narcissists, borderlines and bipolars. Literally, I mean diagnosed cases. I am starting to think there is something wrong with me. I think I'm an avoidant, but I have this nurturing side that I discovered while living with my ex. I can't really show it to many other people (I would like to), but these crazy women seem to be the first to detect it for manipulation.

We been broken up for about a week. For the first few days I was going through separation anxiety bad. I knew better at first and was about to go complete no contact but… I realized I got blocked and she was serious.. that’s when it kicked in full throttle. when I tell you I did the most I did… endless flowers with cards, emails and I pulled up on her once but her father was the gate keeper so I dropped some of her thing off and kept it moving.. by the time I got home I sent more flowers asking her to talk.. big mistake.. following that I found your videos and the helped a lot.. it gave me reassurance of what I already knew and helped me suppress the anxiety.. now today the flowers got there today I’ve made up my mind the night before to go full on no contact. I know I just set myself back a bit or whatever but I built the strength to fight anxiety and keep working on myself. I do wish for her to come back. Who doesn’t? I have to stick to the script understand that our fate is in her hands and she has to come around because I’m blocked.. idk how I found y’all but I am very thankful and grateful to have.

No contact rule after a breakup is to help you buy making the person who broke up with you start to reminisce about you first it might be the negative points, the reasons that they felt they needed to leave or the lack of feeling. Whatever they think it is. But as they go on without you contacting them they also start thinking of the good times which will start negating the bad like on a scale the bad thoughts will go down and the good thoughts will go up. And then they start to think about you with things around them maybe something you gave them or songs you listen to or friends it might say dauntlessly house so-and-so but that's what should happen they should start to think about you and then they will miss you by comparing you to others and remembering what they're not getting. So listen to these professionals

I learned a lot about narcissists, was clueless before. With narcissists and toxic people, no contact is the only way to go, and without the goal of getting them back.

I am 2.5 months post break up. My fiancé broke it off via text (wedding was booked for this past NYE) and he blocked me. I attempted to contact him 2 weeks after break up via email and he was so mean. I wasn’t radio silent. I closed all my social media accounts, stopped talking to his daughters and friends....ghost. It’s been incredibly hard,, not a day has gone by I haven’t cried. It’s cut deeper than anything I’ve ever experienced. I went and had a Reiki session, having another one this Friday. As well I booked an apt to have past life regression session with a hypnotherapist in hopes to release trauma.

Over the years I’ve experienced avoidance attachment and anxiety both ways - it’s a human thing , the Buddha says all attachment leads to suffering - thing is we attach ourselves to the illusion of someone else as our source of happiness ! When we need to find that within ourselves ! I’ve been doing Inner child healing work and I have to say it’s the best ! And a fast track to healing old wounds - The best relationship is with yourself so when you find someone it’s the cherry on the cake 🍰 all the best in healing your heart 💖

She doesn't want me back despite spending New Year with MY friends (I was away). It's really ruffled my feathers knowing she was so close but so far. I _must_ have crossed her mind but had no message from her. I really miss her and pine for her back still, but I'm miles better as a man now so the separation was needed for perspective. Love and life is so hard. Thanks both, as always.

Work on yourself bro stop worrying about her! Once you have the mindset of transforming to a better man you'll have other women attractive to you and eventually she'll reach out but by then your feelings will be completely gone

@@EJayyDreadHead I can't imagine my feelings being completely gone. She was the first GF I lived with, my second long-term relationship, had so much going for her and should have been my wife and mother to my children. But I wasn't 'ready' and now I feel very stupid. It's hard not to worry about her. My next steps are to get back in the gym and redecorate my place. I have sorted my head and life goals out, so these two things are next on my list to boost my self-esteem. It's so shit to have to go through this to be a better man, but I was never going to be when with my ex. I needed this period of introspection. Thank you for your reply, btw : )

Hi coach. My ex broke up with me four months ago and it has been two months since we last spoke. I am an important part of her 17 year old daughter's life and she mine. We have been staying in contact but we don't talk about my ex. Is this hurting me as far as no contact? Could you do a video on your thoughts about staying in contact with an ex's family?

You should explain how it “works on everyone” when they don’t actually contact you again. That to me means your no contact method didn’t work right. What if they were someone you just dated for a short time vs an actual relationship?

I’m petrified she’ll go off with someone else though. I don’t want my son growing up calling someone else dad.
