Stop Thinking About Your Ex If You Want Them Back

[@danielgardner7153]

Yo guys, honestly. Me and my ex broke up 5 months ago. I was in a really horrible place, couldn’t stop crying or thinking about her. I came to brads videos for help and it seriously does help. Best advice I can give is spend time to yourself, focus on rebuilding you. There was obviously an issue with the relationship for it to end. I learned the hard way, you just need to be brutally honest with yourself. After that then you can decide whether you want to pursue things with him or her from that point! 5 months on and me and my ex are talking again. I followed everything this guy said and it worked wonders! This stuff works, you just need to decide if it’s what you want! Thanks Brad!

[@charleydonnan5175]

Really appreciate the channel Brad. I've found comfort with the videos. I really miss my ex, but the relationship wasn't good for us. The emotional stuff was great but we couldn't offer each other the security we needed to grow together . I'm just rebuilding myself and my life. The hard part Is giving up on THAT shared future... knowing the right thing to do doesn't stop me thinking about them. I want them back but I'm not in the right place to pursue her.

[@BradBrowning]

This is why it's important to focus on yourself and rebuild your own life first. Nobody's perfect and no relationship is perfect, but you can be the best version of yourself. The best time to do that is when you're single since there aren't any distractions! :-)

That isn't my forte, but I suggest you offer your sympathies and try to offer your help, but never impose or force yourself into someone's life. Just let them know you're ready to lend an ear if they need someone to talk to. But don't go waiting for that to happen, make sure you go about your own life too. Good luck!

[@SMILE-vs3yj]

I did no contact for one month and while doing no contact I followed his guide to make my self busy and do some exercise. But after no contact I didn't realize that I moved on a bit it's like I just don't care about her anymore even tho we've been 2 years and 4 months. When I think about giving her a chance if ever she wants one I don't feel like giving it, and I love this way I have to move on fully because being in a relationship is hard. Thanks brad about the no contact u made me stop spending nights of crying to someone who doesn't even give a value to the tears I shed and the pain I felt, I feel a lotlre better now

Hey, I'm happy for you! Yes, this should be the stage everyone should reach, regardless of whether or not their exes come back. You have to be happy within yourself first and not need anyone before you can be truly ready for a relationship.

My ex broke up with me after 8 years of relationship with her we had a good times and memories. She said she doesnt love me anymore and now she's chatting/seeing with someone else. Is there a possibilities that my ex will get back to me and realize her feelings with me when i apply no contact? After we broke up i beg and plead and now i am applying no contact and radio silence

[@BradBrowning]

Yes, that's the only way she will realize. Well, keep in mind that the new guy isn’t you and if your relationship had been particularly good for the most part, then you can use that knowledge to your advantage (otherwise you really can't do anything about that now because you can't undo the past; best to take the experience as a lesson learned and try to show it to your ex and hope she is STILL open or receptive to it after giving space). Keep in mind that your ex is suffering too, even though it seems like the opposite. Discussed that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXyoZ6GYaZKhmqM So make sure you don't taint your ex's memory of you by making those awful mistakes I talk about on my other vids. Your ex is likely rebounding, especially if yours had been a long-term or serious relationship. Watch this first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/earOoY2MZbR8qac But don’t rely on that fact alone. Learn to play your cards right as well and go by these principles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5ytYqyYqqt8fqc Good luck!

[@rosiebuds4015]

following your advice is the reason why i never got back together with my ex. he had admitted he was still in love with me and would consider a second chance maybe until i followed your advice incredibly foolishly. i had commented several times under videos to no avail, and actually had to cut out my ex. while i am glad he and i aren’t back together, for anyone reading this, take his advice with a grain of salt or you’ll end up like me.

[@BradBrowning]

Sorry, while I try to be as attentive as possible, there are simply too many comments on here that I can't get to everyone at once. Anyway re your situation, the connection couldn't be that strong judging from both your reactions. If he supposedly is still in love with you yet can bare not talking to you for a very long time (I assume you followed the "no contact" rule) and is okay with you "striving" from the breakup and building your own life without your ex. That is if you have applied the tips here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYalf5dspal8hK8

[@onlybens_]

she texts me pretty often for no real reason other than catching up, or just trying to have a conversation, even though shes in an obvious rebound rn which is confusing me a lot

[@BradBrowning]

Unless your situation falls under one or more of the scenarios here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWjMdGCdfdKNaKM it's best you ignore contact from your ex. If your ex continues to reach out to you, however, then this really depends on the frequency and nature of the contact from your ex and whether or not you've reached the phase where you're supposed to be talking again. The only exception is if your ex asks for you back and is sincere about it. If your ex continually messages you, then it’s important to put your ex’s messages into context, more so if this happened during the “no contact” phase. Is your ex trying to contact you about something really important, like an emergency, unpaid bills, or something equally urgent? These are reasons to respond, including messages where they get angry due to your lack of response. Discussed that in full detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXNdnR9f7yHq6M So if your ex is really just texting some useless random stuff and/or asses his/her power over you, then you can just ignore and continue on with the 30-day "no contact" rule. Use your discretion. Watch and follow the tips here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJiyeGypZsuUmZo

[@BradBrowning]

Begging won't help. You need to give him time and space first, so redo the "no contact" rule and make sure you stick to it this time. But watch this first to help manage your expectations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hau5qqCPo7Z5is0 Here's how you can tell you're doing the "no contact" rule properly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGjdpouhYtiJqas It may help to make use of the clean slate template, which is a free version from a piece of my Ex Factor Guide. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHyWqaicetx4fMk The main goal is to bring your ex into an emotional neutral state by employing the 30-day “no contact” rule -- let your ex miss you and don't rush it. But in order to fully understand how this concept works, watch the free in-depth video on my website to learn some psychology techniques and understand how giving each other space for around a month can benefit you than otherwise, at www.breakupbrad.com

My wife and I split about 40 days ago and she said she wanted out. I would have problems at working thinking about her and I get sad and cry. So sometimes I would call her to just say hello. We texted like a couple times a week. I was gonna do no contact but I just felt the need to talk to her. Sunday I texted and asked if I could call her during lunch break she said sure. We talked about 20 minutes and then I said it was nice talking to you thanks for picking up. She then texted me before I got off and told me she was getting tested for Covid-19 and we texted the rest of the day. We exchanged pictures and videos of what we took in the past and I told her that this was the happiest I’ve felt in a month. She then said well I wanted to talk to you too. The next day she didn’t text me at all. I gave her the whole day to text or call me and I finally tried calling her to see how her day was. She texted me it was a mistake texting you yesterday I didn’t wanna give you the wrong idea. After she just said that she wanted to talk to. What should I do?

Hey brad, Hope your doing fine and healthy. 1st I want to thank you for your support.. After my break up i fully stopped contacting with my ex after 15 days he reached me.. It been more than 6 months since than, he is in contact with me he acts hot and cold, he helps me, supports me, also show his concern about me but he doesn't want to meet me. He's still determined not getting back.. he Also keeps telling me not to waste my time dreaming getting him back. I can't make it progress..don't know what to do now..

[@BradBrowning]

I'm good, thanks. And you're welcome! Always happy to help whenever I can and as much as I can. Maybe stop trying to meet up with him? Just put that thought aside for a good while. Meet up with your friends instead and/or new people and try to enjoy life as much as you can without your ex in it. That is really key. As much as possible, let him initiate the meetup which is why I suggest you stop bringing it up altogether. Anyway you're on the right track, assuming you've done the first phase (30-day "no contact" rule) correctly and basically had set the stage for this second part. Be sure to check out my other videos for more tips on how to go about this, especially this: y2u.be/gUBNd6pDINM Since you've only recently reconnected, then don't expect your ex to warm up easily. Getting an ex back is a process. Here's a short infograph to guide you in each process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXvXnomYedCVotk Look out for the signs that your ex has moved on, though: y2u.be/TnZzeEIPEik But evaluate things, too. Are you sure you're not trying to rush it? Setting a deadline is a good way to fail when it comes to exes, so I highly discourage it. What steps have you taken to get your ex back? It's time to re-assess those and see what's working versus what's not working. Sometimes, getting an ex back is like trying to fit a square into a circle, but oftentimes, chances are you're letting emotion dictate you and therefore end up making the wrong choices. Have you checked out my guide yet? It’s ultimately up to you to act (or not act, depending on which phase you’re in) on getting your ex back, but it helps if you read it to ensure that you’re on the right track.

Hey Brad, today is my 15th Day of NC. I really have no idea what's going on in his mind. The biggest heart break is yesterday i lost my uncle due to cancer ..im going thorugh a very tough phase. Unfortunately I don't have his shoulder to lean on. It hurts so much. A week ago I didn't even wished him on his birthday intentionally ... To make him realise my worth an value. I just want to recover from this phase of my life asap. Cause this heart break is beyond my capacity to control my tears.. He haven't blocked me in what's app and FB, and I really don't know how to initiate conversation after 30 days of NC.. Before 15 days I cried million tears and was begging and pleading him to be with me. But he didn't responded to my plights properly and gave me mixed signals. I'm so confused, baffled and bewildered.

[@BradBrowning]

Sorry for your loss. Don't rush it, though. Healing takes time. You can see it as an opportunity to grow, learn what you can from the relationship and/or how to correct the issues and whether or not it can still be fixed. But first off, take time to heal first and this is exactly what the "no contact" rule for 30 days is about. Anyway once you've already completed the full 30-day "no contact" rule and assuming you did it correctly, then the texting tips here will be a good starter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqDRfqeCe9RjZpI but make sure you tick off the checklist here first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLLfqWjrJiGo9U This means you take time focusing on the second phase and eventually the third phase when the time is right. This won’t happen overnight, of course, but it’s something you ought to continue to work on to the point where you’re gradually building attraction again. This is what my guide is for. Have you checked it out yet? It's too complicated to explain everything on here, but here's an overview of these phases and what to expect in each one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5aqf4N4mdWhqas Good luck!

[@Benjaminrcd]

Hey Brad! My ex does a thing where she follows people she recently broke up with and I feel like she is doing the same with me. Should I unfollow her? I want to get her back and we only been together for 4 months. I also read this quote "Some people don’t love you, they don’t even care about you. They just want to stay connected to you. They love the benefits. So they do the minimal. A little phone call here and there, just checking. What they are really doing is maintaining the connection, so when they need, they still have a way in."

[@BradBrowning]

Don't follow her if it's only going to distract you from healing. Maybe stop trying to look at your ex's profile/messages/snaps, posts, etc.? An essential part of the "no contact" rule is to turn your focus inwards for a good 30 days, and looking at what your ex is doing and whatnot largely deviates from that point, don't you think?

[@arsalangreen593]

Me n my ex.. Both knew the no contact rule.. We both followed it n got separated for evermore... 😥😥

It has been a month that I have not contacted my ex-girlfriend and she is still blocked me on the social media and I do not know how to solve this problem

[@BradBrowning]

Unless you've done something really epic to mess up things, there's no reason to worry as much, really, because it could be due to the top 3 reasons I've stated on this vid: y2u.be/fjtv90o9bkI Blocking you could just be your ex’s way of coping so I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you, at least not initially. If you stay blocked after months though, then that’s another story, especially if you have no other means of communication or have no mutual friends. More about that on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4a3amV_d5qondU Anyway social media should be the least of your concerns. Focus on all three phases and your ex may naturally unblock you, in time, as you learn to rebuild that attraction and re-attract this ex back to your life.. Here are the basics of all three phases to getting an ex back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5aqf4N4mdWhqas and social-media wise, here (but then again, don't let it become your sole focus) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKqoYVrgqajh80 Good luck!

This video is more appropriate for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn-QYWqhdtl8oNk

[@LyliJ]

Hi Brad, it’s been 2 months since the breakup and I’m obsessed with the situation still. He broke up with me because of my toxic behavior. I didn’t process anything at all because I drank like crazy for the first month apart, and have only been improving myself for the past month. We sort of reconciled in the last 3 weeks where I wrote him a letter of apology for my behavior while drinking. He forgave me but doesn’t want to be in a relationship anymore. I kept trying to reach out and he’s nice and always answers but I can’t hang out with him as a friend it’s too painful. It doesn’t seem to bother him as much. So I’ve been doing full no contact now for 1 week and plan on going for 30 days. We are coworkers but we don’t work directly together so we only just cross paths from time to time. My question is : in my situation do you think it’s too late for the no contact to be effective ? Is there still a chance ?

[@BradBrowning]

Work on yourself first and stop making this reconciliation a priority, because that desperation will show. I know it's painful, but try to be more constructive with your coping mechanism so you'll actually feel good as a result instead of putting you in a downward spiral. As to your chances, I really wish I could give you a direct yes or no. However, as it is, each situation is unique, so I suggest you take the free quiz as it hits on the critical elements that will determine your chances depending on your answers. In other words, my quiz can give you a more accurate answer than I can since as you may have noticed, there are various factors at play here which needs to be looked at as well as your own actions after the breakup.

[@ashleyzheng5134]

Is it normal to want your ex back even when they cheated on you

[@BradBrowning]

It is, but it may not be healthy. There's no easy way to say this but the answer is is to move on, especially if your ex doesn't seem to be regretting their actions and/or making a solid effort to get back together after giving each other some time and space apart. Most of the time, a lot of people would move on, but a few would still fight for the relationship, so this all depends which side you're on and what your views are. But take into consideration about what I’ve mentioned here, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2OahX-brrqgrck There is no right or wrong answer here because it is your relationship and it's personal to you. Make sense? Anyway men and women cheat for different reasons, but if you think your ex is worth it and if there's been a genuine connection between you two before the cheating happened, then try to see the roles that you BOTH played that led to all this mess and see once and for all if it can be resolved or not, okay? Really take your time before deciding though and be sure not to make any hasty decisions from an emotional place. Someone asked me the same question as you and here's what I told them, refer to the second question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3fKlGh8bqiea7M Take care!

Hello idol. Watching from Philippines

[@BradBrowning]

Hey thanks for watching! :-)

[@Imenijebitno108]

4 months ago i got rejected . She was love of my live. But i thought i past it , I saw her 3 days ago in club. I don't know what to do, I'm only thinking about her. Sholud i try again or leave it.

[@BradBrowning]

Like I always say, the decision is ultimately up to you since you know your relationship and your ex better than anyone else on here. And alas, not every ex is worth all the trouble. It's up to you to decide who is worth fighting for at one of the toughest of battles you face in your relationship. Best of luck!

[@mayhem4899]

Great tips.

Do video a video on how to get over a rebound relationship… it hurts a lot … I don’t know what to do !

[@BradBrowning]

Did you mean to say you were the rebound? The steps for healing are the same. If you're trying to move on, this video is for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmLap3-Jlrhslas And if you're still having a hard time, this should help you understand why in order to understand what you're going through: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHTEnIKFiNx8n7s

[@I_make_countless_mistakes]

I would never date someone just to make myself happy. It could cause the new partner a heartbreak

[@BradBrowning]

Find someone who's also looking for the same thing as you. But the concept here is to NOT get a tunnel vision of your ex being the end-all be-all which in turn will not cause you to act desperate, okay?

[@vladimirstolov9324]

i know what you are saying is maybe true in my mind.......but i feel powerless to behave in any other way

[@BradBrowning]

I understand. Acceptance is key though. Just make a conscious effort to be mindful of things you do and make it less about your ex and more about you. It takes practice though and a lot of strength. You can do it! :-)

[@MarnstarProductions]

My ex and I have a child together but she got to talking to this guy over snap chat (was long distance)and left me for him she left our child and animals and just left. I can't pay for personal help. She has been gone for 4 weeks now and I'm so confused because she just bailed. He is now moving down to be with her and I'm terrified They have never met so I'm hopeful that this will fizzle out so any advice would be appreciated.

[@BradBrowning]

Sorry, man, but chances are your girl has been at least emotionally cheating on you. Discussed that in depth here: y2u.be/7KE6nb4-ndA There's no easy way to say this but the answer is is to move on, especially if your ex doesn't seem to be regretting their actions and asking to get back together. Most of the time, a lot of people would move on, but a few would still fight for the relationship, so this all depends which side you're on and what your views are.

What happened in my relationship none of these videos match it we started and stopped this from a week he had some problems at home and was really upset that's the why we had to stop but I know he really loved me the night before we break up he talked to me well and said I love you also after the break up he said but I have to do this but few days ago he told me I can't bear this pressure so I changed my all plans and started over again with the current situation if I send a msg he reply if I don't leave a msg he doesn't chat with me all of these happened because of his dad my ex also a bit stubborn I know he really loves me but I afraid with this pressure he has he will changed will he forget me what can I do to get him back

Actions speak louder than words though, especially in this case. Anyway really sorry to hear that. There's no easy way to say this but the answer is is to move on, especially if your ex doesn't seem to be regretting their actions and/or making a solid effort to get back together after giving each other some time and space apart.

[@BradBrowning]

Sorry to hear that. Yes, a breakup from a long-term commitment is extra painful. Right now though, you both need that time apart. Employ the 30-day "no contact" rule first. Here's how you can tell it's starting to work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW2q2l6nryFqbM Though make sure you follow the tips here as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi1YWaImLpro9k AND some recent tips here: y2u.be/FLeP1eRCkCk Lots of folks seem to be oblivious about it, so here goes: the 30-day "no contact" rule, once COMPLETED, is just the first phase for most people (unless your ex sincerely wanted you back and it's shown in their actions). This would also help guide you on what to do after the "no contact" rule: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHLLfqWjrJiGo9U Anyway there are two more phases to go through if you want an ex back, and the third is to rekindle/rebuild the attraction with an ex.

Hey Brad , a couple months ago I screwed up my last relationship by making a terrible decision and smoking in front of her when she didn’t want me to I tried talking to her today but she said bcuz of it she’s still not looking forward to a relationship and it would be better off if we were friends maybe bht still it wouldn’t be the same so I need help ASAP thank you !

[@BradBrowning]

Yeah that behaviour must've turned her off big time. She's lost attraction for you and it's a terrible idea to be friends with her. You need to cut off contact for at least 30 days first. Silence is key and here's why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKiTdJurjah4o9k If you continue being friends right away, the boundaries won't be clear and you're technically both free to date other people. Wouldn't it be pure torture if your ex dates a rebound in front of you because you're only "friends" now, don't you think? So it’s not a good idea, especially if you want this ex back. Watch these two videos so you’ll know why being friends won’t lead you anywhere you wanna be with your ex and how to get out of this trap, respectively at kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfClJ2wnbt-d7s and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYSXh2d_hMiCndU but read my Ex Factor Guide since that’s much more detailed and so you'll know how to go about it, what to do after each phase (there are three phases in total), including what to say, do or not do, along with free bonus materials for texting. Good luck!

[@starrynight9999]

You know, coaches say not to unfriend your ex on social media as that makes a person look petty, but yet we are to appear as if we are moving on. I don’t keep exes in my life as friend in person, so why would I keep them as a friend on social media? If my ex doesn’t want me a part of their life In person why would I keep them on social media? This does not make sense to me.

[@BradBrowning]

It makes sense if you want your ex back, assuming that's what you're aiming for since you're on my channel. The reasons are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKqoYVrgqajh80

[@ryanxxxx7]

I broke up with my ex months ago because she was toxic with me and it devastated me because i have feelings for her. Now im talking to her again but she has a boyfriend and im still in love with her. I feel she is using him as a rebound but maybe im mistaken. When i told her have feelings for her she said that i texted that in a bad time because she is convincing herself to break up with him but she wants to keep trying to fix things with him. And now that she is living extremely close to me is driving me nuts.

[@BradBrowning]

Don't deal with her if she's still trying to figure stuff out with the other guy. Wait for a better time before interacting with your ex. But if it's been more than a year or so, make sure to check the signs if your ex has moved on, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqtg6OerKmWl5Y This should help guide you on what to do for the time being: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np3MnIt_m7KMhJo However, make it a point to be really productive with your time being apart. Follow the tips here to help guide you further: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYalf5dspal8hK8 AND kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5ytYqyYqqt8fqc now when the time comes where your ex is free or is constantly contacting you, check out my other videos here in KZbin to help you with a lot of texting tips as well as when to give up trying. Good luck!

[@soujitdas6273]

I am continuing my no contact period from last 3 weeks. I am still blocked. Will this no contact strategy work?

[@BradBrowning]

Unless you've done something really epic to mess up things, there's no reason to worry as much, really, because it could be due to the top 3 reasons I've stated on this vid: y2u.be/fjtv90o9bkI Blocking you could just be your ex’s way of coping so I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you, at least not initially. If you stay blocked after months though, then that’s another story, especially if you have no other means of communication or have no mutual friends. More about that on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4a3amV_d5qondU Anyway social media should be the least of your concerns. Focus on all three phases and your ex may naturally unblock you, in time, as you learn to rebuild that attraction and re-attract this ex back to your life.. Here are the basics of all three phases to getting an ex back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5aqf4N4mdWhqas and social-media wise, here (but then again, don't let it become your sole focus) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKqoYVrgqajh80 Good luck!

[@Laura-ob9fc]

What if he pulls away because he has personal issues (which have nothing to do with me. I would say he almost got depressed because of his problems) that he needs to resolve ‘cause he just can’t keep on going like this? I don’t think that we really broke up (6 months relationship), I would rather say that he needs time alone to concentrate and work on these issues so I am giving him space but I’m still afraid to lose him. I’m into week 3 of no contact. Should I reach out and ask how is he doing or should I wait for him to contact me first? I really don’t know what to do and I miss him so much.

[@BradBrowning]

Did he specifically say it was just a break? Be careful not to twist the information as you could be stuck in denial and you really need to heal from that. Watch this first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4GtoaWAqstgn7c

[@meghmehta2082]

How do you apologize when you cheated her, how do u apologize her after 2 years brad please reply

[@BradBrowning]

The best thing to do right now is to admit to your ex that you've effed up and try to be patient and sympathetic with what your ex is going through and just disappear from your ex's life for a while, because right now, you are a constant reminder of the pain and your ex needs to heal from that first. And saying sorry is not gonna fix that right away, it takes time. By cheating, you're automatically putting the ball in your ex's court and have lost privilege to take your power back in all this. It's up to your ex now and how soon they can forgive you and move on from the incident, not necessarily from the relationship although some people do that. With that in mind, these may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGGpaaRofq6aqqc AND kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-oYmxom7p-rqs Whatever you do, make sure you avoid doing the stuff here that will only push your ex further away: y2u.be/jikW4YYC9yo

I’ve broken up recently and I’ve started the 30 day no contact, the reason she broke up is still a question mark for me, she claims she wanted a time to be alone and didn’t want to date anyone at the moment but i love her so deeply i can’t let her go this easily. My quiz score was 74 and she hasn’t showed any signs of wanting to come back......yet. We were together for 7 months but everything, the connection and everything was more than that period is there any hope for me?

[@BradBrowning]

Your ex is most likely lying about the reason of the breakup so try not to fall for that. Discussed that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKariHaNmqxkrtU However, the bottom line is your ex has significantly lost attraction.

[@mayhem4899]

Brad I'm not sure if you remember my past comments on how my break up happened (gf left because I did not contact her for a month). But anyway today after 2 months of separation, she text me that she miss me, tbh I did not want to reply back I miss you too but I had to because of the unique situation and reason of break up. And she also sent me her pics and was emotional, ended our conversation there. What should I do now ? I want her back in my life so bad but I'm not showing her that I'm desperate and needy. We are in LDR and she usually comes to our town once or twice a year. After break up we both text each other sometimes but I do it rarely just to ask how she's doing and ask about her parents. I see signs that she still loves me and miss me but idk if she wants me back.

[@BradBrowning]

That's right. Don't be desperate and needy. Nothing much to do here but to do stuff for yourself and become a better version of yourself. From my previous advice as well as my other videos, I supposed you're already aware how distance plays a major role though, right? Anyway follow the tips here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYalf5dspal8hK8

[@BradBrowning]

Yeah, that's awkward. Why'd you call, though? I always suggest texting. This way, you will get a chance to reply or think of a witty reason to contact. The silence or pause in a phone conversation is just terrible, faced with that question. Watch and learn from this vid first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqDRfqeCe9RjZpI

[@Amctothemoon]

That’s how it’s starts , it was weird for me acting like we’ve never been in a relationship and everything was like , you’ll be fine , you’ll work it out , you’ll be happy there , ect it’s all single no plural , unless you’ve got kids ect together, it’s hard to just jump out of the blue and ignite the flame , you got to let the dumper start a conversation, otherwise your in for a shock when you ring

[@hmmmmhm]

Well... Do you really think that dating with someone new is the right way to get ex back? I really don't think so. It's nice advice for loose your love for ever, be sure... No contact plus dating new one never brings your ex back... Experiences from my life and people's around me.... Thank you for your time and effort to help, but I see that's way to make people feel better not get back someone they love.

[@BradBrowning]

You've already lost your ex the minute your ex ended things with you. In some, although not all cases, the dumper planned the breakup days, if not weeks or months before dropping the bomb. In other words, your ex has the upper hand from the get-go. Dating or getting to know someone new will keep you from heading towards a downward spiral where everything is hopeless. The lower your energy is, the lesser your chances of ever getting an ex back. A lot of people, although again, not all cases, have gotten their exes back using this method, assuming it's done correctly of course.

Hey brad....i have been in a relationship for last one year....we had a lot of misunderstandings and fights....but he never stopped contacting me...suddenly he stopped contacting me...he even didn’t call me for last 1 month....but yes,he receives every time i call him...but always says he is busy...i contacted one of our mutual friends yesterday and he told me that he ( my boyfriend) is really busy but not that kind of busy where he cannot contact me Once a day...he is happy in his life...enjoying a new life....so....should i expect anything from him or just no hope????

[@BradBrowning]

Fighting is often unavoidable, but when it becomes too much, it’s time to nip the problem in the bud if you still can. So it's either that or you go on a break and discuss the logistics as well as how it should go and how long it should be. What were you two fighting or arguing about? It's best to consider the relationship overall first, so watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqatd5lrgMiba9E Anyways it's best to give it time because all this arguing had taken a toll in your relationship. This may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHOomZSPaMx_f9k Perhaps you've both argued more than you had a good time with each other? It could also be you're too incompatible or stubborn to meet each other halfway. If the negatives outweigh the positives in the relationship, that's when an imbalance happens and the relationship will keel over wherein one or both people will likely abandon ship, as the case with your ex. It's time to reset things. Start with the 30-day "no contact" rule to get your ex into a psychological neutral. Here's how it can help you: y2u.be/zw0ChuXCEmw

Hi Brad! I did no contact two months ago and it worked! He contacted me and wanted to give the relationship another chance. Unfortunately we both didn’t learn enough from our mistakes the first time.... we had a fight and he blocked me on instagram and my number. A week later he blocked me on snapchat too... he also did this the first break up, i feel like this is his way of having control? He didn’t block facebook yet, i think he’s testing me to see if i’ll reach out on there. Will no contact work a second time?

[@BradBrowning]

Aw that was close! Yeah, any type of drama will only set you back, so if you can, be the bigger person and just ease up, all right? After all, it takes two to fight or argue. And yes, your best bet is still to follow the "no contact" rule and this time, make sure you take your time to really be in a better state to deal with each other before even sending out the first text so you'll have a better shot at success on the next try, yeah? In your case, given what happened, he may not be receptive to your contact after the 30-day period, so do your best to extend it and give him more time. Best of luck!

I love you Brad

[@BradBrowning]

Sending love back your way! Take care!

[@shrinidhipatil335]

Date someone new!? Wow. Never heard this advice though

[@BradBrowning]

Well now you just did. Seriously though, the aim is to increase your confidence by socializing and to subconsciously know that there is life outside of the relationship/breakup and to get out of the tunnel-vision mentality most people have after a breakup that only their ex can fix it. So interact with people. It may be just on a friendship level, camaraderie, bonding over a new sport/hobby/activity, etc. and not restricted to just dating, perhaps I should've emphasized that, too, as I can see how it can easily be misconstrued. But if you do get around to dating someone that you truly like, then that’s good, as it would help to let you not seem desperate to get your ex back, which most exes can sense from a mile away, mind you. Anyway thanks for your input! :-)

It’s been 3 months of the breakup in a 16 year relationship,I’ve done no contact since day 3 of the breakup ( only time we message is to arrange and drop of our 4 year old daughter) my ex got with a new guy 2weeks after the breakup and moved in together after a month and got engaged after 2 months lol but on a serious note my daughter told me he punched her in the stomach,I know he’s got 6 domestic abuse charges against his ex and is a violent evil Person I’ve done my homework on him,so I tell my ex partner this and she laughed it off thinking I’m jealous but I promise to god I’m not,I know this is wrong and I’ll get told not to do it but I’m a ex boxer I’m waiting to bump into him and he’s going to get the worst beating of his life for hitting my daughter,I’ve never hit my daughter so what does he think he’s doing hitting her!! No one can change my mind he’s going to suffer for doing that to my 4 year old daughter.

[@BradBrowning]

Get custody of your daughter, man. It needs immediate action if that's really the case. Let your ex deal with the new guy, but remove your daughter from that environment asap.

[@trishatrivedi9623]

My ex wants to meet me and he's shy of me what does it mean?

[@BradBrowning]

It could mean he's confused. Assess the risks first if it's all worth it. Remember, meeting up when you're both not ready will only alienate your ex further, and that's best case scenario. Worst case scenario will land you a spot in the dreaded friendzone. Watch this first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKvFYmugbL-Ahqc but if you're both ready, watch this video on how to tell as well as how tips for you on tipping the odds to your favor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3uzeKWhqraho5I Best of luck!

[@melindas5907]

My ex is in the same office w me & 1 department. Cant do NC. It’s been 2 months since the break up. Our feeling is mutual. He decided to end the relationship bcs his circumstances. How can i move on if i still see him everyday. I caught his eyes many times staring at me. It’s really not a comfy situation for me.

[@BradBrowning]

It really doesn't have to be awkward. Do limited contact instead and keep any conversation you have strictly work-related, especially the first 30 days after the breakup. You've got a long way to go but for starters, you can follow the tips here to prevent things from getting even more awkward than it has to be: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXNdnR9f7yHq6M AND kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnW9o6GEnZ1_hck

[@russellconstant1202]

This used to work with break ups in the past. But when you have a child together it's sooo much more hardier. I don't think about our memories but I still think.. Its hard to explain. I don't miss her but the family bond.

[@BradBrowning]

Do the dynamic "no contact" rule or limited contact. You've got a long way to go but for starters, you can follow the tips here to prevent things from getting even more awkward than it has to be: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXNdnR9f7yHq6M AND kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnW9o6GEnZ1_hck

@@BradBrowning Yeah i know. got a few years to heal yet

[@thedarkskinnedpatroit7893]

Hey Brad please answer. My ex filled a restraining order to get me to move out our place ASAP when we broke up. However, we still have a child together and text daily about the kid. She has trust issues and that caused her to want to break up. I think about her daily because daily she sends pictures of the kid. We are court ordered to only talk about the child but those text make me miss her very much. Any advice as to how I can stop dwelling on her and get her thinking about me. I can't do no contact.

[@BradBrowning]

Before you focus on how to get her thinking about you, try to see why she had to file a restraining order, that's a little worrisome, along with the trust issue. What really happened? I suggest you address the trust issue part, that's how you get her to start thinking positively about you. Give her a good experience... but first off, give her space first. Do limited contact.

[@spartenhero8869]

My ex broke up with me 2 months ago and we’re a few hours away but were involved for 8 months and since the breakup for a while spoke almost daily but in the past few weeks we’ve had few interactions and this past week had a bad encounter but tonight I apologised she replied twice twenty minutes apart saying ‘thanks’ and ‘you don’t need to apologise’. I didn’t reply as I’m trying to engage with the no contact for the next 30 or so days, am I doing this right?

[@BradBrowning]

Yes. Here's a quick overview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXvXnomYedCVotk Best of luck!

[@jazminfinch892]

I'm in the no contact thing rn and I just realized that when he cheated by texting girl 3 times through our relationship, I forgave him and he was changing,but I kept that anger about it cause I didnt have time to cope with it but now we on a break or break up he doesn't know what this is yet, that I have time to release thos anger and thought about what went wrong, should I text him about it now or after the 30 days?

[@BradBrowning]

Don't text him especially now that you're no longer in a relationship with him. Just observe if he fesses up and makes amends. It should rarely be the other way around if you're the one cheated on, especially multiple times.

[@Don-qi1rb]

Hey Brad sir,, So.. in this March 2020 my ex boyfriend broke up with me..our relationship was so short of like 8-10 days.. nd now after that I'm working on me and in this January 2021 I'm going to play my state tournament in rifle shooting.. so I'll be a state lavel rifle shooter in this January 2021 so after being a state level shooter should I meet him? And tell him that I still love him? Will he say yes??

[@BradBrowning]

Since you're asking me, I'd say move on because that guy is just not into you. However, Amy North may have some other tips on what to do about that, so check out her channel, too!

[@isayayanika87]

Heyy, Brad, I'm in day 21 of no contact and I dont think it has been effective on me personally, can I extend it beyond 30 days??? I'm definitely not ready, made no positive change and haven't changed my mindset, basically I have just been faking it, can I restart no contact though I havent contacted him at all despite him saying he still cares. After watching this video I just feel motivated to make a significant positive changes in my life, instead of obsessing about getting him back

[@BradBrowning]

Yes, you can extend the "no contact" phase if you're truly not ready yet. Average time is 30 days but can go anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks in usual cases. If there's been some endless begging and/or refusing to cut off contact, I usually suggest to give it more time, around 2 months or even more. The "no contact" rule is best applied when the breakup is still fresh. Discussed the importance of silence here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKiTdJurjah4o9k

[@amyc-n.6037]

He blocked me during no contact. Why?

[@BradBrowning]

Unless you've done something really epic to mess up things, there's no reason to worry as much, really, because it could be due to the top 3 reasons I've stated on this vid: y2u.be/fjtv90o9bkI Blocking you could just be your ex’s way of coping so I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you, at least not initially. If you stay blocked after months though, then that’s another story, especially if you have no other means of communication or have no mutual friends. More about that on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4a3amV_d5qondU Anyway social media should be the least of your concerns. Focus on all three phases and your ex may naturally unblock you, in time, as you learn to rebuild that attraction and re-attract this ex back to your life.. Here are the basics of all three phases to getting an ex back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5aqf4N4mdWhqas and social-media wise, here (but then again, don't let it become your sole focus) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKqoYVrgqajh80 Good luck!

[@DannyLorrd]

Brad i keep on pleading and begging her to come back for two to three months now and she told me to stop calling her because she is in love with someone else now and she doesn't love me or want me anymore, please can no contact work for me again i seriously love her and want her back,brad i seriously need your help I mess up from the beginning please help me. what should I do answer please

[@BradBrowning]

The 30-day "no contact" rule can work for you in the following ways: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKiTdJurjah4o9k Your ex is diverting his/her attention to someone else, which is the easiest thing to do and is really just his/her way of coping. If anything, your ex is suffering, too, even though it may not seem like it. Discussed that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXyoZ6GYaZKhmqM So that's what you ought to be doing too. Here, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYalf5dspal8hK8 so try to put your focus elsewhere because your ex is likely rebounding and you're only wasting precious minutes of your life worrying about something that's out of your control. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inPXk2ZqnN5psNk Now lastly, keep in mind that your ex is suffering too, even though they try to cover it up. Discussed that here: y2u.be/7KE6nb4-ndA
