I mean sure, I also wouldn't take my ex back, but I also wouldn't tell it to a complete stranger with absolutely no clue of their situation to do the same. What if their ex wasn't such a spineless monster as my ex? I cannot know that. But I do know thanks to coaches like Craig, that the best relationships are the ones that survived a breakup. Because those people know how it is to live without eachother and so they value eachother more.

[@VermontV8]

They had courage to dump you but they don't have courage to apologize and say it all directly when they want to comeback? Stay away and don't waste time on this pathetic bs

[@Chris-ey7zy]

Sometimes it’s not courage. It’s because they are afraid of getting close to someone who wants them. It’s scary when it gets real and you express your vulnerability to them. Too much responsibility for them to handle. Messed up childhood where their parents don’t really show their kid unconditional love.

Well here is my story, my ex ghosted me New Year’s day after five years of a relationship. After five months of no contact he one day he contacted me and asked me to forgive him etc. and said he misses me and loves me and asked me to come back to him he he did not put his toe in the water but his whole foot LOL. After seven hours I texted him back but never said yay or nay but we have no contact anymore. My feelings for my ex have faded away to my surprise because I did love him very much!

My ex definitely sent an indirect direct message to me earlier this month. I read the message but I got so annoyed and angry so I ignored it.

[@yun-tzuchang547]

I’m always not sure if I should still have the ex stays on my social media. For me, I feel like, if you decided to walk away from my life then you don’t deserve to see how I’m doing and what’s happening in my life. I don’t want them to know what’s going on with me. But at the same time I also want them to see I’m fine without them. I don’t know. Advice coach Craig?

[@FAnsari001]

My ex contacted me wanting a photo of him and his family from a trip we all went on 9 months ago.... which we broke up after that trip, and specified he was not interested in reconnecting. At first I laughed because why would I have this photo, it's been so long. Then I got upset because I found his message so rude and condescending (as if I want to get back together) so I decided to be mature and just tell him I have no photos to which he rudely responded of course you deleted them. He's dating someone new, but I found the whole thing strange. I felt embarrassed for him and I could sense his anger but his anger is not my fault or concern. So sometimes, these breakups show you someone's true colors and being single while dating to find what you deserve is great:)

[@jessebohannon7084]

Thanks, Craig and Margaret! I’ve been following your advice from Coaching and my ex is starting to show up at my work and the bar again. I needed to watch this video and remember with an avoidant she has a lot going on that’s not my fault. I need to soothe myself and stay patient. You guys are the best!

[@smores8982]

Amazing how I just stumbled upon this video. My ex of 4 months ended it with me as he was very non-committal. 5 weeks later (of NC), he texted and used the excuse that he had picked something up for me (but never actually asking to meet up). I didn’t bite, I simply thanked him. After another 3.5 weeks, he finally came direct and asked to meet and we both kept it friendly and cordial. 4 weeks later, he asked to meet again for my bday. Again, friendly and cordial. Another 2 weeks later, asked if I would “be around” if he dropped by my neighborhood but after I gave him a time that I’d be available, he then turned the tables and said “he’d let me know”. I cancelled the meet altogether as I felt him being so indirectly direct is a form of toying with me. There’s this push-pull vibe I’m getting from him. This happened very recently.

[@rebeccav7420]

How's it going now?

[@kita0918]

What happened???

[@smores8982]

The update to this is that we are just friends. He was using me as a pawn to get his ex jealous (sounded like she fell out of love with him) and he is very much emotionally unavailable. He was with his XW for almost 30 years and I can see that coming out of the divorce, it was as if he lost his right arm. In all my years of dating, I have never experienced this level of confusion from a man as I have experienced with him! He is a deeply wounded man and seeing a counselor post divorce did not seem to help him process the pain. No bueno, no-go. Abort mission!

[@BigErnieBrown]

Hey...Same situation for me. Not breaking no contact.

[@tuftsgirl123]

I’m 2 months nc and I used to always ask my ex to post about us on social media. I just wanted a simple birthday post, to feel as though he wanted to show me off and is proud of me. Never did. He was never active on social media: a scroll and a couple likes here and there, lucky if he posted once a month or in a few months. Now all of a sudden he’s posting a story every day on all social media platforms, is this his breadcrumb? This is the second time we’ve broken up due to bad communication on his part. I would always communicate what I needed and asked what he needed to which he always responded, “I’m happy baby, I love you”. How am I supposed to fix an issue I’m not even aware of?

[@thomasraywood679]

Your client's girl (eh hem, ex) strikes me as someone who has projected onto him what she herself actually needs, namely a platform of "independence." (The relationship probably commenced from a place of dependence [on him] and thus felt less authentic [to her] than it would have felt if she'd appealed to him while functioning independently ...or, as it were, made her feel less special than she craves to feel.) This idea of her explains two things. One thing it explains is her stated emphasis on wanting "him" to be independent, as suggested above. The other thing it explains is her reaction (how she recoiled) to his having advanced on her too quickly (by "tagging" her). I think she's keeping him on a tether only so that he approaches her (woos her) in the way a man would when meeting someone new. The passing, surface interest of other suitors aims only at "establishing" her as, indeed, independent in both her own eyes and your client's, and probably does so largely unconsciously. I think if he cools his heels and looks at things this way, and then uses a careful strategy which accounts for her need to be approached as though they'd never met, he'll be able to win her. I think he needs to look at it as winning her, not winning her back.

She randomly tagged me in a meme on Facebook after about 2-3 weeks of no contact and nothing since. It was very random and threw me off but I reacted as normal and I’m not budging as tempting as it is… she needs to reach out properly

[@knockdadeathstroke3799]

I kind of moved on but the only thing I noticed is my ex is liking my friend's photos, while she still follows me on instagram too but never likes any of my posts (not making a big deal out of it, its just funny right?). Granted, it could literally mean nothing but if she is trying to make me jealous, thats kinda not working, I did scratch my head though. I'll never reach out to her after I already did that 3 times after we broke up (2 weeks after the breakup was when I stopped, and it wasnt even me trying to manipulate her I was just concerned for her mental and physical health) and I am letting her reach out if she wants to. I talk to other girls, I have set a date with one already and I am not waiting like an idiot.

I wish I could afford to do a session with you. The love of my life broke up with me a month ago. I am in no contact for 2 weeks. She calls me once a week. And my anxiety goes threw the roof. Where it sounds like I'm short or upset with her. I truly am not. But I know how it comes across. I have since put myself into counseling and see them once a week. I know the things I need to fix for myself. And it will make a difference in any relationship I am in in the future. Hopefully my ex. I want to note. I got married at 18. Divorced at age 30. This break up is worse than ending a 12 year marriage.

she said on social media that shes “literally the happiest, life took a huge plot twist and I love it” hurt yes, but always want her to be happy but selfish part of me is hoping that it’s just because she saw me posting about a party and wanted to show she’s doing good after the breakup as well.

[@coopermckillop8981]

Tip for the future: don’t post yourself with other women, partying, etc. Post authentic things that you enjoy doing either on your own or with others! It’s going to make a much greater impression than something that could be viewed as a jab at her (even if it’s not intended to be). I’m not saying to completely cater posts to her, if anything I say live your life and show your happiness on social media. But don’t cater your content to spark jealousy either bc I guarantee you that will backfire in your face more often than not.

[@mlong506]

On day 30 of full NC (I blocked him on FB messenger and text) he messaged two FB group messages that I'm in. Both have only me, him and his best friend. I know it was some kind of breadcrumb for me. He didn't even say anything, he sent a GIF to each group. I responded to his friend who wrote something, but didn't acknowledge his GIFs. That was 5 days ago, nothing since. I guess he was testing the waters? If he had actually said something or addressed me I would've responded. But the GIF was obviously looking to see if I would break NC.

[@Thomas-kv7js]

Broke no contact after over 3 months of nc , and going strong at that. Accidentally caught a glimpse of her social media , where she appeared sad and distraught. Somehow that made me think , that perhaps she was anxious about reaching out to me , so I messaged her. The response was as cold and distant as ever. Went back to no contact going for about two months now. Going pretty strong actually , I don’t feel nearly as bad as in the beginning and some of my friends even noticed how competent at communication and emotions I have become. In a way it was even helpful , because now I am 100% sure , that not contacting her is a right thing to do.

After they'd been talking behind my back, she e-mailed me and she wrote she loved me, wanted a future with me and that she'd been talking with my mom about getting back together with me. When we got talking, the first thing she says is she's been having sex with tons of guys and telling me graphic details about it. I hadn't begged, pleaded or looking at her social media since the breakup and now all of that was for nothing.

My issue is complicated. She reached out, but due to the fact that she has narcissistic traits, it was to Insult me over the fact of communicating with someone else in the same country where she lives. She accused me of trying to use that person to move there. Which was never my intention. I had however previously over a month ago Sent her an email apologizing for the mistakes I made last year, which I clearly recognized by now, and apologized hoping that would give her an opportunity to heal. So when she reached out to me because that other person had communicated with her she told me I had lied to her, but she didn't have all the facts. Even as she insulted me I told her that's not the case, and that was not my intention. Then she said it was late and she was tired and then I agree to end the conversation and then in her language told her goodnight and God bless you. After she read my last message to her she blocked me again. It really boggles my mind that in a Global pandemic someone can still act this way. Any brief helpful reply will be appreciated.

Find a good Christian ✝️ Church, which will help 🙏 support you and the children with love. Prayers are never ignored by our Father God. Jesus Loves children ❤. He will strengthen and guide you. It's taking me 3 years to get over the pain, but I am 10 times stronger and happier alone. Think about the welfare and safety of your children first. They see everything and they remember. Be strong 💪 ✨ ❤ 🙏

[@marsharowaihy6725]

Sigrid McCarty, Thank you so much for your reply, it helped ❤️ Crazy you say that, I found a church to attend & my 4 year old went to his first Sunday school class this Past Sunday. I also signed up for a Women’s Bible study on Tuesday.

Hope you’re doing well my dear ❤️❤️❤️

[@kingtv9910]

What about, I'll get my things on the weekend? 😂😂😂 just received a message today from my ex within two weeks of no contact.

[@ashleypousada896]

Might they try to trick you by provoking you too? Mine did something that could be taken as trying to show how he’s trying to move on or by simply trying to hurt me. His previous exes would’ve messaged him angrily right away. I wondered if it could also be considered trying to trick me?

if the dumpee wants the relationship back with the dumper, and is receiving indirect direct bread crumbs, should the dumpee remain in no contact or to go ahead and make contact with the dumper?

could my ex still reach out if she is with someone else? i am still blocked everywhere and haven’t heard from her since the beginning of this year 😞💔

[@WHaAteVaA]

move on , they're waste of time

[@Unknown02020-t]

She reached out this week asking if she could schedule a call with me. I said no. She’s curious but hasn’t felt my absent yet. She wanted me gone and moved on. I’m almost there, she will not keep me at arms length. Either share your emotions or don’t bother me at all. Edit: last time she did this she made excuse after excuse as to why she couldn’t make it. I view this tactic she uses as a breadcrumbing method.

[@michaelcolvin8702]

What about a bill being paid in her name that was at my place? She got mad when I told her I’ll think about it. I know now when we was still together she was bread crumbing me until she found some one else I think. I know she dating around but not looking into it no more, need my sanity. I got story for you if you want to use it. It’s dicferent

[@Chris-ey7zy]

That’s a little screwed up how women want their own harem of men who want they to hang around even though they say they want to get married to the One. Just so they can always have options if the one they are dating doesn’t work out. Just pull at your heart strings and pretend they don’t know you like them. It’s pretty messed up

[@Thishandleisunavailable493]

Okay so my girlfriend of 3.5 years broke up with me a little over 3 weeks ago. I’ve been no contact for a little over 2 weeks. The reasoning for the breakup gives off strong “grass is greener syndrome” vibes. What confuses me is that she constantly likes my tweets and retweets even though I don’t like anything she posts on any platform. I still view her Snapchat and Instagram stories (I know I should stop that) but I don’t directly like anything. Is she doing this for a reason?

[@guilhermecarvalhal6611]

She is keeping you on the bench She is unsure of the new guy. Have some self respect and get away from her. Don't take her back if she tries to contact you

[@lismolina2801]

Today is the 28th my bf broke up with me about a month ago. I gave him until the 30th to move out. He sleeps on the sofa. My heart is torn. This breakup came out of left field. He really feels that we are not compatible and feels that there is no working it out as it’s pointless. I’m 46 he’s 37. He says he unhappy, miserable. All the bickering started when the pandemic started. He has checked out of this relationship and it hurts like hell to see him everyday here interacting with my kids like things are normal. He just asked for two more weeks as he cannot find a place he can afford. We’ve only been together (or we’re together) for two years. How can I do No Contact when he still lives here. I wasn’t ready for this breakup. But 28 days later, I’m coping as best I can.

[@BananaPhone502]

One thing i realized about my ex, she never cared to update her instagram when we were together, never cared about social media. We've been broken up a year, i dont follow her private account, but the only thing she does update is her profile picture(the only thing i CAN see). The latest profile pic is blatantly her trying to look as attractive as possible, so much so that she looks a bit ridiculous. it makes me laugh. If she unconsciously wants me to react to how pretty she's making herself look, she better remember she told me to get lost, and that i heard her loud and clear. :) Does anyone think i have a point? Or am i looking too much into it?

[@antoinetterocco3701]

Don’t think so. He ended it by ghosting me and hooked up with another girl after nine years with me long-distance. He’s writing horrible things about me all over Facebook. Three weeks ago he sent me an awful text accusing me of horrible things and said he despises me. It’s been 14 months and he never looked back. By the way it’s over with the rebounds.Do you think he’s going to trick me into breaking no contact? Please answer Craig

[@touchingisjustthefirststep]

After 2 months of no contact i was waiting for the bus at the bus station and my ex saw me and started talking to me after avoiding me during this time suddenly she decided to reach out. I still don't plan on texting her.

[@touchingisjustthefirststep]

@@MB-Music23 3 days later after she started talking to me she unfollowed me from instagram and kicked me off her follower list so i can't see what she's posting but she didn't block me. What the hell is happening? I don't even post anything on instagram and i stopped liking her posts after she broke up with me.

QUESTION: How much of a good sign is it if all of a sudden he shows up nearly EVERY week in my dancing class after I had told I'm not in love with him any more? (HE dumped me and it was years ago!)

[@lmfao932]

How did it turn out?

[@Positionzen]

Just recently, the private snapchat story thing happened with me during no contact. I've never seen this before and wondered why she added me after about 2 weeks of not communicating with me. My question is, if I'm doing No Contact, should I even view these or any of her stories? It's harder some days to just want to click that damn tab.

[@Lev15157]

Hi Craig Hi Margret :), I have a quick question, my ex and I met up for a walk a few weeks ago after 2 months NC, it went really well, we laughed and and i teased her a little. she seemed really happy to see me and hugged me tight and said "see you soon". the day after the walk I sent her a message saying "i had a good time" and that i had been nervous to see her and she said she felt the same. then the day after that i sent her another message saying that we should get drinks sometime, she took a week to respond and said it was due to work, i said i hope it had all gone well and asked her if she knew what 'randonaughing' was because i had a feeling that she would find it interesting, it took her 2 days to respond to that, all she said was "I cant say I do" and she was out with like 5 other guys before she responded(obviously made me feel a little insecure knowing that shes able to get so much male attention lol). i feel that her responses are empty she doesn't seem to be too interested in conversation or setting a setting a date to see me again. my psychologist ad I talked about it and he recommended I go back into no contact and wait for her to send another message, hopefully with more depth and interest. in your opinion would going back to NC in this situation be a good idea or would it make her feel ignored and not want to reach out again? BTW thank you for all the amazing insightful videos you guys put out!!!!!

[@Js-wd6dr]

Tagging old photos? Lol...talk about being too forward... LMAO

[@dontmesswithleah]

Does asking for stuff back apply as an indirect direct approach? My ex did this yesterday. We had season tickets to a college football game so he asked if I could send him his ticket otherwise I could sell it and he’ll buy his own himself.

[@hassanabdiamman]

During no contact if she/he did contact you, what would you do?

[@emw1853]

Wait. If a bunch of your clients are having men call their exes asking about the cats that means a bunch of your clients are cat ladies 🙀

[@adrianaxcx777]

On top of tagging himself in the pix on Facebook, I think that guy's first mistake was taking that screenshot on snapchat of her typing! In snapchat, it always shows the other person when they screenshot something. Maybe she thought that was weird too

[@jeansenior5242]

I thought the same thing... that probably prompted her to stop typing then.

[@wedieritrea1193]

He screen shot it from the notification it doesn’t tell the other person that he have screen shot. it only tell the other person if you screen shot a a massage.

[@chapter3831]

Do you really think they miss you especially if they replaced you while still together? Been one year and they are still together. I contacted him as I left something there. I totally forgot about. He was gruff in his text and said he had nothing to say and would leave it outside. I replied I don't know what gave you the indication I wanted to talk. I just wanted to retrieve the item and was cordial in my request and wished him well. I just asked if the item was still there as I wanted it as it was an item my grandchild mention. I wanted to refurbish it for her as it had memories attached for her. Hell telemarketers are nicer than what I got! Lol! Again I doubt he misses me. Guilt must be hard for someone who is dishonest and hurts someone.

So i thanked her for the gift and she was very friendly so i said we should catch up and she said yes but shes been busy with her move and unpacking. But she hasnt said anything since and that was 3 weeks ago. Im confused. Why the expensive gift, and why didnt she jump on the idea of hanging out?

My ex watched my instagram story every day for 2 months straight after our break up. Even did a direct indirect approach after 2 weeks time. Thought she was missing me and thinking about me. I never watched her story, never liked a post, but I didn't unfollow her. Just muted her posts. Then I noticed she wasn't watching my stories anymore. So I went to her profile and saw that she had completely unfollowed my account. This really hurt. Has she given up on me? Was that her final farewell?
