    Are you afraid that your no contact period isn’t working?
    Well, what if I were to tell you that a lot of what you assume about the no contact rule is based on false data.
    Today, I’d actually like to have an honest discussion on what the no contact rule looks like when it’s not working versus what it looks like when it is.

    My last 3 relationships I have enacted the no contact rule and gained power in the walk away. They all came back! Each partner asked honestly why I didn't fight for them. The first 2 girls were 4 months on NC, and most recent was 6 weeks. Attachment and love are raw and strong emotions that cannot be ignored by your ex unless they are narcissistic. Self-respect and also more importantly self-worth has to outweigh your anxiety. Focus on yourself and without you knowing you will become they're best option! Stay strong 💪

      Thanks. I got ghosted in March and I went through anxiety, panic attacks, sleep deprivation, weight loss, etc. I've never been treated like a disposable toy before and I think I just spiraled because my mind and body didn't know how to handle this type of a betrayal. Funny thing is I didn't even realize I was ghosted because for the last week or so, I assumed he was very busy and couldn't get back to me. After I realized that I'd been ghosted, I sent multiple follow-up texts, a voice note, and tried calling once. I ended my last message on a positive note and apologized if I'd caused any hurt while I was trying to navigate the situation. None of this mattered to him. Not my hurt. Not my apology. Nothing at all. And if none of it was valued then why would I keep vying for his attention and affection? Sad part is that I thought he'd reach out to atleast end things with a handshake or on a civil note but nope. I understand Attachment Theory and core childhood wounds now and I know he's a Dismissive Avoidant but I can't ignore my lived experience and hurt. At this point I'm 5 weeks NC and I'm still healing and recovering. The longer he takes to reach out, the more respect I lose for him. Just hoping I can recover from this trauma in the coming months. :'l

      The problem with the 60% that think it didn't work is patience. Even during my messiest break ups, I've never seen a woman endure 4 months of complete silence, even when they're with a new guy and I block them. I've even seen one girl that I blocked dig up old AIM chats to get my email and message me out of desperation.

  • @RoundSquareX

    Senario 1. No matter what, they were never going to come back.
    Scenario 2. They would have come back only if you did No Contact correctly, but you didn't.
    Scenario 3. It was a fake break up, the ex was coming back regardless.
    Scenario 4. Beware, they may contact you, but ultimately they do not want to get back together.
    Conclusion : No Contact is still always the best method. The moment they say they want to break up, go silent, say nothing, don't block them, don't change your behavior on social media, don't talk about them to a mutual party, Go Witness Protection. (Unless you have kids together.) Let them feel the loss, let them wonder if you cared at all. Don't jump for any bait, stay in no contact if they aren't serious about getting back together. It plays on their ego, and for you, it will only hurt you further if you contact them...allow yourself to grieve the loss but they don't need to know about it, because they don't deserve an ego boost.

      In my case, 9 days ago, my long distance boyfriend was forced to break up with me because of his homophobic father after 2 months of really cute and funny chats and checking up on each other each day. We even sent pictures of our family members to eachother. He told me “I’m going to leave the bi thing behind and stay straight. I’m sorry” I’m currently blocked but I’m not scrambling to contact him by other means, which I could do. When do you think he may reach out again? We have great chemistry and he says he still has affection for me and wants to be great friends. He told his father because of how much he believed we could be a real thing. He isn’t yet financially independent.

  • @thousandmile9477
    @thousandmile9477 Год назад +107

    No contact always works but only in the sense that you will move on eventually. The fixations and grieving memories fade and your ex slowly becomes an emotionaless subject of your past that you tell in the same manner you'd speak about any other part of your history. I know this personally as I've gone through and came out the other side more than once. I am going through a breakup with a woman I proposed to and lived together with and spent half a decade with and I know that there will be an end to the emotions eventually but only because I've been fortunate enough to experience it all before first hand.
    If you're experiencing the pains and sorrows of a break up right now it's almost impossible to imagine what 'moving on' feels like. In fact, hearing those words often just cause more pain as it's indicative of a finale to a story you don't want to end. However in reality, the story is already over and you're just hopelessly waiting for an encore. The encore is not coming and even if it did, it will not be the result of your no-contact strategy masterfully being executed to plan. It may only happen if your ex has a change of heart at the same time that your heart is still in it, which believe me, at a certain point, it won't be. This is completely out of your control. You have no power over the thoughts of another individual through simply not contacting them. You do have complete control over your decision to accept a new reality and have confidence that time does heal all wounds.

    I think it's because they understand that they broke up with you, so they shouldn't really be reaching out to you. Either they were seriously de-attracted to you at breakup, or they silently miss you.
    Meanwhile, you're in a high-motivation time of self-improvement, having more fun, building yourself up, and making yourself more attractive to everyone. You can't go wrong with that.
    However, the ending of this video is the most important part! People want quick solutions and have outsourced their self-acceptance to people and things outside of them. That story about the person thinking there's nothing left to do but focus on themselves is eye opening and heart breaking at the same time.
    You ALWAYS have to focus on yourself. Your health and fulfillment. BECAUSE that's fun. It also keeps you from being clingy, stagnant, boring, etc. Being someone you admire is the cool part of being someone your partner admires!

    You nailed it at the very end: people don't want to focus on themselves because turning the attention inward is hard. People don't like doing hard things. I have a different view than some and have been loading up on these videos 8 weeks into NC for kind of an opposite reason: I do not want to want them back. I'm endeavoring to "level myself up" where what I'm looking for and quite frankly the league I'm playing in are different. If they were to come back and say and do all the right things at some point, soft "maybe" that I would consider it, but that gets weaker by the day.

Sometimes the ex will reach out, and at that time you can decide if you even want to let them back into your life. Or by that time, you may have completely moved on. All the while you were bettering yourself, and realizing your value again. With the next relationship, you can learn from any mistakes you made.

    I didnt take away his option to talk to me, he took it away from himself when blindsided me with the breakup. He made it clear that he didn't want me anymore. I doubt he thinks about me, misses me or cares about me the way he used to. It's been 15 days & he reached out on day 10 to wish me a happy birthday. I think he did it out of guilt. He doesn't care about me & probably hadn't for a while. I think he just faked his feelings to be nice to me. Either way, I'm hurt & on my healing journey.

    What I personally gather from this is that the advice should be headlined by “focus on yourself” not “no contact” . Most people come on here because they want solutions to the disappointment of an ex breaking up with them. So they should be advised to focus on themselves of which obviously consists of no contact among others. The problem is the advise given is headlined by “ doing on contact” and that’s where I see the issue.

    The idea is the following, if you're too attached to the outcome, you're creating too much resistance, relax, double it down, work on yourself because you are the damn prize in your reality and just assume they will reach out because of x reason. It's a proven fact that what you assume to be true, even if false and persisted in will become your reality.
    So in theory, yes, no contact does work however, if your mind says things like "no, they're not gonna contact me ever again" or "are they with someone already" or "x,y,z bullshit reasons" and go in the victim mentality, you won't receive a contact from them. Know your worth, think positive thoughts such as "of course they'll reach out, they love me or want me or can't wait to see me".
    Furthermore, for all of you folks out there, check out the teaching on Law of Assumption (TRUST me when I say i've been there with the "no contact thing" and I managed to go from no contact to the best committed relationship with this mindset in a matter of months.

    I believe if someone has decided to walk away or leave or ghost anyone, then it's better to respect their decision and let them live their decision. After my partner left using no contact, I used the same not to be manipulate but understood that he is not worth my stress and worry and I do not need to know what he is upto and he has lost that convenience too.

    I started to use the no contact rule with my last two relationships and both came back to me in some way, but here is how I learned you must do it:
    You need to end contact temporarily in a kind gesture of giving them space and letting them know you love them.
    It’s important because it essentially is the last action they will remember about you. Leave a bad taste in their mouth and your ex will not likely want to come back. Leave with a good gesture towards them that show them you were the one person who truly loved them, then they will always remember this and more than likely come back once they are done being in their “caves”. They will miss you and your connection if you let them go with love in your heart.
    It’s hard, cause sometimes you want to leave with anger and slam the door behind you, but if you ever want them back in your life, you must always leave them with your respect, understanding and love to think about last.

While we are trying the no contact, the ex might be doing the forget them tactic.... by trying to erase all memories of you fitst from deraching from you on social media and also any other forms where they get any news of you.

    It occurs to me No Contact is no trick when you really feel it- when you truly are so shocked and appalled at your ex that Zero Talk is the only possible response- so those who break NC reveal they're really faking it. When you truly want and need to make them history so you disappear from them and stay disappeared, I guess they feel it. Which perversely makes them second guess themselves.

    The reason most people dont do the working on themselves is because they WANTto think about their ex because it makes them feel closer to their ex, its all they have in a no contact situation, the contact is not coming from their ex so they replace this by thinking and feeling their ex from their own perspective. It also depends on how intense the relationship was.

    Leaving her was the best thing I ever did when I found out my wife was cheating. Dating was a blast because I discovered there were many women who found me desirable. But before I started dating again I spent 1 year alone working on myself. I pumped iron, lost weight & looked jacked & focused on my career. 4 years later my ex had remarried but things were not going well, & when I stopped by to pickup my son for the weekends she would bring me into the bedroom for sex which I didn’t mind because my son hated her 2nd husband so I said why not.
    Bottom line: 4 years of no contact & my ex-wife was seducing me as she loved what I had turned into.

    In my case, 9 days ago, my long distance boyfriend was forced to break up with me because of his homophobic father after 2 months of really cute and funny chats and checking up on each other each day. We even sent pictures of our family members to eachother. He told me “I’m going to leave the bi thing behind and stay straight. I’m sorry” I’m currently blocked but I’m not scrambling to contact him by other means, which I could do. When do you think he may reach out again? We have great chemistry and he says he still has affection for me and wants to be great friends. He told his father because of how much he believed we could be a real thing. He isn’t yet financially independent.

      I think he would contact once he gets some independence in his life and also it doesn’t look like u have done anything wrong here so just don’t contact and do ur thing, in my situation, I have done wrong things like taking my gf for granted n now she broke up but u haven’t done anything so just do ur thing and don’t contact
