Basically move on. Don’t contact them ever again. Especially if they left you. They can feel when you’re moving on for some reason. So take them off the pedistool and move on and better your self. Improve your self for you not them. Then you will find someone better. Let them chase you. It’s up to you to take them back not them. It turns tables but at the same time you aren’t supposed to expect them back. That’s when it works when you no longer care.

I want to add something here. Even if they don't reach out, or they do on bad terms (maybe trying to friendzone you, or while dating other people or rebounding), no contact will help you to heal and as consequence of that healing you will have a better life.

[@donkndave7811]

It starts working immediately, depending on how you handle the breakup and how you were as a partner. If you were a good partner, and then handled it right " I dont agree, but let me know if you change your mind" , they dont expect that answer. It opens their eyes. It works.

[@hgzmatt]

How many people are able to give an answer like that.. it's like your world is ending and acceptance is the last thing you can think of.

[@hgzmatt]

@A You're right. But not to get them back.. because you likely won't get them back regardless what you do. It's a matter of self respect and showing them your boundaries. That includes knowing that you only accept a relationship where both people are invested.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I completely agree with the statement where my ex has no control over me and vice versa. Never wait for someone who has broken up with you and never devalue yourself.

When you decide to put your ex aside and start working on yourself, you begin to want to improve yourself more and more while the thought of your ex starts to go to the back of your mind and that's the way, you have to be in a position where you don't care anymore and that's when you can do things the right way if they come back

John Spooner update?

[@Extravaganttastee]

Agnese De Luca Sorry for the late response I just saw this. Rory knows what he’s talking about!!! I followed all of his steps. We ended up getting back together and now we have an apartment together. Keep working on yourself and keep pushing to be a better well rounded individual. Make sure to post cool photos on your social media and show them what they are missing out on. There is a really good chance they will come back. Just keep watching Rorys Videos if you need a guide and follow everything he says. I am living proof of it. Rory you the Man!!! Unfortunately COVID kind of messed up a lot of things due to being stuck together 24/7 all of the time and not having any space. So for right now we are taking some space and I’m staying at my sisters house for a little while. I re started the process of no contact and giving her the space she needs and pushing myself at the gym etc. Essentially pushing myself to build her attraction back up. She called me and told me she misses me and wants to see me. What I have came to realize is relationships are a constant back and fourth with women. They are like cats you spend to much time together they get bored and over it. But when they push away listen to Rory and do not chase back off and give them the space they want and they come right back. So basically what I’m trying to say is Coach Rory is 100 percent on point he knows what he’s talking about. Just trust the process, and remember that relationship are something you have to constantly work on. Like I said I’m going through it right now. But I realize a lot of peoples relationships really got jacked up due to this lockdown. Good luck man!!! I continue to watch the Love Chat to help me through when issues like I’m having come up.

[@notyourb.8453]

There is no Formula for getting anyone back. But reality check is, that many people take good souls for granted. Good souls need to learn to set boundaries and such boundaries might get violated by the person we are with or been with. Lack of empathy and emotional intelligence is one reason and another one is halfway a mental disorder or other unhealthy ways of dealing with conflicts. Some just never learned how to deal with critical comments or communication that doesn't go their way, so they call it stress or drama. It's sad when we must cutt off contact for a certain amount of time to let them feel the break up instead of talking things out. Too many selfish, too proud/full of ego people..use others in relationships and can't handle a conversation after the mess...so they jump into quitting. When they don't hear from you , they mind realize things or not...some will create any type of self talk and convince themselves to not contact you again, because they fear changes and confrontations. So if they ever contact you back, take your time to answer..or do not answer in case you're over it. Such people awake anxiety in others, their ping pong behavior is like a dead zone.

My ex reached out to me today!!! She broke up with me little over 3 months ago. We've spoken on and off due to Bills and business matters. I usually text her notifying when I've sent her a payment. This time I just made the payment with out texting her. And of course she calls. We played phone tag that day and she left it alone. A week later which was today...she called and I picked up. She called to see how I was doing. I let her do most the talking and she carried the conversation. At the end she thanked me for my payment and said that we would talk again later. This was the best conversation we've had in almost 4 months. No tension at all. I've went complete no contact for the last two weeks. No contact is your best chance at bettering yourself and getting your ex to reach out. Thanks Rory you really know your stuff. Also thank you to everyone and their positive comments in the comment section...that gave me hope. If you have a success story definitely pay it forward by dropping it in the comments it really helps. No matter what happens with me and her I know life is going to be better.

Thank you Rory for another great vid!. I think no contact is a natural process which is required after being kicked to the kerb. In this time it allows a person to emotionally detatch, gather themselves and rebuild self esteem etc. I'm not suggesting it's easy as Ive struggled through it myself but hard work is hard work, so it's worth sticking with it. The results will come, it's just a matter of time.

Great video but tread lightly. I was broken up 11 months ago. I went no contact immediately.

It was like getting broken up with all over and the count started all over. It sucked!!! I have since told him that this game is over and to never contact me again. That he was a liar and a user. The man I once knew, died and he was a stranger I no longer want to know. I’ve blocked him every way I can. I can’t let this happen again where I believe he is sincere and it’s a game to toy with me.

You know exactly when no contact worked for me? When i agonized for 4 months over this guy who left me. He told me countless times I was the most amazing person he’s ever met-he even said that when he broke up with me- he told me he couldnt wait to live with me, he was proud to call me his girl, he’d send me the longest paragraphs about how much he loved me and how much i meant to him. I spent 4 months agonizing over this and analyzing. I kept asking “did he really mean any of that shit??” with nothing but silence from him. And then one day it just clicked for me. If he can walk away knowing how much he hurt me and just stay silent the whole time, if he can go on social media and boast about how great his life is, then he doesnt care. They dont care. Thats why they dont reach out, and once you realize this it gets easier. I hope he never tries to contact me again honestly, i dont care about someone who doesn’t care about me.

The author is one of the few here who doesn't sell lies and false hopes and I really like the way you reason. I think it is also useful to follow Jordan Peterson's advice on life, which is to clean up your room and tell the truth. Your EX is not perfect, probably has a lot of bad qualities that added to your break up. Tell yourself the TRUTH about them and imagine telling this to them. What if they reach out and you write to them the TRUTH in response, something like "I always wanted for myself a stubborn/unforgiving/selfish/low self-esteem/ok when partner suffers etc. girlfriend/wife/partner". Do you really want such a person as your partner? Tell yourself the truth if you just want sex with them rather than such a fucked-up person in your life on a daily basis. Moreover, imagine you tell them this truth if they reach out, how do you think they react? Do you think they will still want to keep contact with you after this? Would they agree with you and vow to change? So, clean up your house and tell the truth. The truth is the antidote to suffering.

I cried, begged, and said I didn’t want to break up I just felt misunderstood and wanted to talk. I cried and said “Okay, if thats what you choose, I understand”. He cried, I cried. I smiled and reassured him that I understood we were different and that I loved him. He drove away and that was that. Almost a full month ago. Him and I went to the same gym and he now comes at the time I do… It feels weird because I know he hated working out late. Everyone’s saying he’s trying to run into me but I don’t feel thats the case. I hope he’s doing well.. It sucks having to avoid someone you really loved.

[@MomHacks]

Hello - I'm helping a very young client with a breakup and have a question I can't seem to answer. She reached out to him after a fairly peaceful breakup (she told him she didn't want it but then wished him well and said goodbye). She sees him every day at school and it was awkward. She wanted to clear the air and be "friends" as he had indicated he would like that & because the tension was stressful to her. She apologized for ignoring him and he told her "I want to let you know that I'm not seeing [the rebound] anymore." (This rebound lasted maybe 10 days). She said okay and was happy they could be friends and that was it. Why would he tell her this? She didn't ask for clarification on his intentions. I'm advising her not to go looking for this answer now and to initiate some better no-contact. But it's eating her up thinking he told her because he wants her back but was testing the waters. What is your professional opinion?

[@TheLoveChat]

Hi there. Friends isn't the way to go - she doesn't actually want friendship. She wants to stick around and hope he'll reconsider her and that will drive her anxiety up big time. It isn't important why he told her that - we can't know as it is mind reading.

Saying that since I wrote the last comment I've seen a doctor for antidepressant medication, done 1 therapy session (my second one coming up), walking average 50km a week and started seeing someone new.

[@aessilverfang8003]

@@hgzmatt my ex never really loved me, only used me, cheated and thrown me away like trash. She never wanted to commit to our relationship but jumps into a big commitment after 3 weeks of our break up. Don't get me wrong I do miss her but I have come to terms that I only fell in love with a mask and the person I fell in love with doesn't really exist. I think that what the hard part, human beings can't discard emotions and stop loving something they came to love. I'm always gonna have love for my ex (she was my first relationship) but I'm in love with the mask my ex put on during our relationship.

@@aessilverfang8003 I'm sorry.. But at the very least you have clarity and you can focus on moving on. You don't have to be stuck in limbo. You can be sure that she will regret all that at some point. But you'll be so far ahead of her.

Rory! As usual a great video! Can u explore NARCISSISM? I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until now- my ex is one and now she wants to monkeybranch back to me (while she’s still with someone else). She wanted to be ‘friends’ at the outset and I told her I AM NOT PERSUING HER- even tho she tries to spin it like I want HER back. Crazy shit- can u help an unsuspecting guy like me and everyone else who deals with narcissists-

[@TheLoveChat]

You bet! I'm working on that one. big video!

[@mrblatcher]

It’s easy to identify someone’s a narcissist but unless they’ve met a number of criteria’s I wouldn’t classify them as such. Trust me you will know because I have been there and still pushing through. It’s definitely not a regular break from a healthy person. It’s the trauma bond that must be broken and this is only done by what Rory and DG speaks about which is No contact. It’s truly for you (us). It’s a time of self reflection, a time to rebuild boundaries, regain your personality strength mentality physically and emotionally

[@mrblatcher]

@Steven Pavia.. Clear your mind of the fog because that’s what it sounds like you are in right now. They tend to project their insecurities on to us by gaslighting,devaluing, discarding, then hovering.. This is a repeated cycle of abuse until you go and stay no contact

Hey Rory, great video as always! Got a personal question: did you fall into these initial mistakes (ie begging/pleading etc) and what was the best tool you had while going through your break up, since you weren’t as fortunate as us to have you

[@TheLoveChat]

Hi Matt! Honestly? I begged for about two days and then was feeling a bit digusted with myself. I pulled myself out of the hole with a reminding myself I am better than this! "If I can't have her - I CAN have my dignity." The rest was willpower - though counseling helped!

[@rubenlovato6867]

My ex left me in my worst it hurts bad but I would never take her back in my best she hurt me and she hurt herself worse when she realizes her mistake and that my friend is when karma will ring her doorbell and haunt her the rest of her life like I told her that’s your choice now lie with it !

If he could kill all 3.5 billions of men in this world, then I might think about taking him back.

[@mgschuman]

Hey Rory, how does your ex finding out that you went on a dating app show them that you never let go of the control in the 1st place? Was kinda confused by that bit. My ex and I met on a dating app, and we both never deleted them, so I've been periodically using mine again.

[@WHaAteVaA]

probably by filing the void they left and being lazy ,i'm wondering about that part too if only Rory explained it a bit

[@lfm0171]

I think he misspoke. I think he meant to say "never went on a dating app." If you're not dating because you're waiting, then you're still giving them all of the control

Does no contact work if she broke up with you because you were the opposite of needy and clingy? I was quite emotionally distant for a month or so and wouldn't see her every time she wanted to see me. I messaged her twice in seven days after the break up but nothing for almost a month.

[@Mezaph]

I don't know what Rory will say, but this is the situation I was in. He broke up with me because I'm distant and avoidant, and he felt unappreciated and hurt by my behavior. Completely my fault. I tried to work it out for the first month to no avail, then went into no contact for the next 5 weeks. He kept watching all my SM stories so I risked it and reached out to ask how he has been. He was receptive but the ball was in his court still, so if he didn't suggest meeting, I was ready to say goodbye, go back to NC and move on. After a couple of days of texting, I told him I'm glad he's doing well, and I guess I'll see him around. It was meant to be my last message, but he replied suggesting we meet for coffee. I don't know if he could sense that I was moving on, or he would have asked anyway, but it's probably worth mentioning because it's possible he could tell that was my goodbye. So that's how it worked for me. Tomorrow I'll find out if it's a success story.

[@harrisonwalton]

@@Mezaph Thanks for the reply. It's a difficult one because alot of these videos seem to revolve about the dumpees being the needy ones so hopefully we'll see something different in the future.

@@harrisonwalton thanks! Update, it went amazing. He said we should see each other again soon. I treated it like a first date, but with inside jokes and familiarity. Had a long hug goodbye and could tell he didn't want to leave at the end, but he had plans. Texted him afterwards to say it was nice and he should come visit the dog when he gets a chance. He said he will. So there you have it. The break-up was my fault, I really did take him for granted. Some good solid no contact, I reached out, and it looks like things will work out. Hope this helps with your situation. Good luck!

My ex and I broke up a couple of weeks ago and I begged for about 2 days than dipped. She saw me go to the gym with another girl a couple days ago. She’s been acting really happy and went to a party with one of her new friends and would not stop talking about me being “all over this new girl” and that she researched who it was and all that at the party she went to. My friend was also at that party and told me how happy she was trying to be but how jealous she was acting towards me hanging with this girl. Any thoughts?

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone can help me. I was no contact for 32 days. I broke it and he said he missed me and had been thinking of me......

I’m back in no contact. Can I salvage this????

[@ninoninov6044]

so I didn't knew abot you and the DG, when I was dumped, and did some ot the stuff I shouldn't have to. But never begging and pleading. I only tried to make her be a bit reasonable with logic (facepalm). Then I bought one of those Get-your-Ex-back courses, and started NC immidiately. Then I delved more into it and found more info online. I really like your and DG's stuff, also a bit of the "red pill" stuff(maily Matt Crosses content, although sometimes too polarising) By me NC is a bit tricky, because I have to do Hybrid NC, because of the kids. And I could not really get it when she tries to reach out(if she does), but I think I don't care any more, so much. If it weren't for the kids, she would't have seen my eyes for the rest of her life. Now the only reason to take her back are the kids, although I really do not feel like it any more. But I can sacrifice my own happyness in the sake of my children.

The kids would obviously do well in a healthy family.. but staying together in a toxic one won't benefit them.
