    It’s not always about them just leaving it’s about HOW they did it. If a person had an honest conversation with you about what’s going on in his life and why he can’t be in relationship at the moment and has to take a break to sort things out that’s would be a different story. More often people are not honest, they lie to you and make up excuses or they just disappear as if you meant nothing to them. With people like that you absolutely under no circumstances should take them back. Even if it’s true that they got bad dating advice, let it be a learning opportunity for them. So next time, with some other person, they will know that lying, telling a person that you care for them and then disappearing is not acceptable.

    I wouldn't intimately get back with the person who pulled away one time. I would, however, try to be friends with that person and not have any sex with them for awhile, if ever.
    The trust is gone. They'll have to reEarn it. The best way to regain trust is just being friends. If the sexual chemistry is there, itll only grow the better friends u become and the more they get to know u. If the sexual chemistry dissolves, the relationship was never meant to be and it just means u saved urself a headache by not getting sexually involved.
    Sex isnt love. Say no to sex.

      I forgave him but just because he revealed what he learned from our situation and it was the reasons why I was disappointed in him. I figured it’ll help me move on just as it will help him move on. What have I learned if I choose to hold on to the past? It is easier to forgive than to hold on.

    My ex, decided to turn me off like a light switch after a year of dating. Its funny now (wasn't at all at the time, it almost destroyed me) but if she hadn't gone completely indifferent on me suddenly I wouldn't have had the time to sit down and think about the sum total of what she meant/her value to me. My conclusion was she really had nothing to offer. She took and took, made me feel worthless, physically and mentally exhausted all the while seeming to be doing very little, was emotionally avoidant, non-communicative, manipulative, had low self esteem, used passive aggressive, silent treatments (abusive) and was secretive and devious. She helped, actually gave me time to put all the pieces in my head and emotions together and figure out that she was poison to my soul and that I didn't want such (an alien, inhuman POS) a person in my life. If only I had listened to my intuition... After 3 months she came back.... Sent her on her merry way.

      I'm literally going through the experience described above. If this person hadn't gone cold...I wouldn't have had the time to look at things for what they are. Very abusive and controlling. I havent spoken to him in a little over a month and when I write down the things he would say...the passive aggressiveness. He really had nothing to offer. I was the one giving. He was draining. I am breaking out of Trauma bond and I'm excited to heal ... and find out everything about myself that could have possibly attracted this person into my reality. Because at the end, it's not about them. It's about the triggers. Its about us. Because people like that..... you'll hear a lot..They dont change. Since they think they know it all... they never learn anything profoundly.

  • @jesses7785

    They come back for a multitude of reasons: 1) They're either going through a rough patch in their current relationship or are just recently single. 2) They're bored,lonely,missing you and thinking about you,what you're up too if it has been awhile since they last talked too you. 3) They need an ego boost,searching for any type of validation from you and they'll come back for that knowing that you'll give in to them and begin talking to them again. If they broke up with you and chose to leave you for someone else,let them go and don't look back or give into their breadcrumbing messages of hi,hello,how are you? etc etc. If I had to choose the main reason why an ex randomly messages you out of the blue...I'd guess #3 would be the reason why...Maybe I am wrong on that one but I wouldn't have any doubt that would be the reason.

    There are narcissists, but there are also people with attachment styles that look like narcissism. Especially avoidant ones. I know a wonderful woman who has had her heart broken, and is now scared, like I am, to let someone close. Its not that we cant love, but are guarded. Both of us are single parents as well, so we have to be emotionally strong for kids. It makes it tough, but I feel love is underlying, and though I am now cautious, am also not quick to judge. Dont give up hope. Things are not always as they first appear, and most people are inherently good.

    The problem with relationships these days, is there is "too much" temptation and a plethora of information on what to do from what not to do. So this is the boundaries of confusion for a lot of people, what works for some wont work for others.
    My advice, look at what you want out of a partner and dont accept anything less, your worth is more important than what anybody else thinks!
    And for heavens sakes, dont fall for their charm to easily and stop having sex with them from the get go. Learn to wait, before you sleep with someone, let them earn your passage down their, its not a toy, it's where love starts and life is created.....if men are only after that, we have one of the oldest professions to provide those services, and it includes no emotions or strings attached, the only thing it comes with is a price tag for the duration.
    Let them buy the cow, dont give them your milk for free, make them earn it, that's why men do what they do and don't want to settle down any more. Women make themselves to available. And I' m tired of hearing "we have needs"...... well, your needs can wait for the right person.
    Stop sabotaging your emotional well being over people who are not worth it.

    When we have one supposed ocean of opportunities it's easy to misunderstand what's going on in people's mind. But in fact, the truth is, people in our days don't know how to date properly, how to connect with others... it's everything so fast like mcdonald's food. You eat, you satisfied your needs and then you disappear.
    But I believe how much you know yourself, how much you love yourself, the more you are open to receive from life the right person to match what you feel inside.

    UPDATE: After a month of treating the Scorpio POI with nothing but respect, appreciation and support(she has a lot of emotional wounds and deep dark places), with no warning or reason she shut me out and went off with a 73-year old narcissist "therapist" who chases 23 and 24 year old girls and uses his "healing services" as a private dating service to "date" female clients who are emotionally vulnerable or fragile. I finally realized the POI is also a narcissist. How perfect they found each other ;)
    I am grateful she showed me who she is early on and I paid attention--the first time. These videos have taught me so much and taught me to "dodge the bullet": there is no going back or taking this person back. It saddens me there are so many people like this.

    Life is short... I prefer effortless healthy relationships. Men who have been inconsistent with me have had major issues. I met a club owner and we met... but, he called me six months later... I told him I was involved with someone. I'm typically not interested in men who don't court me in real time. A week later he committed suicide... so... he had huge issues.
    My relationships have to flow effortlessly and blissfully... or I don't engage.

  • @blitzkrieg6872
    @blitzkrieg6872 2 года назад +1

    When someone pulls away the best thing to do for yourself is just to block them off your phone immediately. This way, you will not give in to temptation when they finally do contact you again and they almost always do. Don't give them the chance. If they pulled away in the first place, there is something wrong with THEM and this has not changed just because because you have not been in contact. They have stopped panicking about being smothered by you (I know, it's so ridiculous) and by now, they are curious as to why they have not heard from you. Their ego cannot accept that they don't have a hold over you like they did before. They are now going to try to regain that control so they can have the upper hand once more and sleep well at night. Don't let this happen! This is what the "block" button is for! Use it!!!!!!!

  • @brendaleverick3655
    @brendaleverick3655 2 года назад +3

    I think if they pull away once, it means they've rejected you because you weren't what they wanted. Even if they come back, it's not because they really want you. Maybe they just needed an ego boost, a place to stay, some sex, money, whatever.

    Its really difficult when this happens.

There is also advice to go no contact with narcissists. Perhaps they suspected this and realised you are not. What if they are narcissists giving the silent treatment? How on earth do we know what's going on? I hate these games.

Insecure in every way. I took a long break from dating and worked on myself and now am ready. And wouldn’t you know the first guy I could potentially see a future with got cold feet. It’s almost comical in a way.....the irony of it all. He’s a good guy and was obviously into me our first go round, although he never verbally expressed his feelings. When someone really likes you, they can’t hide it if they try. He showed me enough the first time to know he’s worth a second try.

We some how get back together, I am now really looking at the past 2 years and it hasn't been stable. I want something more but he hasn't been taking the steps to make it serious as much as he persues this hot andcold life. He wants me to commit yet he does this hot and cold thing. Im to the point where I need to put some serious boundaries down. I may even pull away to figure out how I got to this point with him. But your really helping me see somethings that really make more sense.

She likes people that are delusional, just like her. She's one of those that wants the gold ring, the movie star, talented show person, well endowed. I've known her since fifth grade. She told me once that we could never do more than date casually because she did not want to "ruin the friendship". She left me cold. She ruined it. I'm never speak to her again.

    He started to get a bit cold but remained communicative and we continued to meet.We had a small issue where he didn’t walk me to my car on an icy drive way and said he’s tired. I left without saying bye.

    I'm in this situation... ex gf broke up without warning 4.5 months ago without any warning. I didn't react well, 2 NC periods, a botched meetup. After 15 days silence, I find out she has quit her job at the Ministry of education in Colombia, and run to her Sisters place in Canada. Her cell phone is off, and she reached out a'la 1996, with an email, with a very vague "hi, I know you are worried, I'm ok now, let's stick with this method "for now"
    WTF??, I suspect her freaking weirdo ex from years ago has a hand in this mess, and that she literally had to flee Colombia to escape him, or some madness he's putting her through. I love this girl..and based on the botched meetup we had where she was sincerely reaching out to me... but I basically was more focused on rubbing her nose in it and playing "hurt feelings guy" instead of just kissing her, being there for her. (I did showcase how actions have consequences though! Lol!) Anyway, its gonna be hard not literally interrogating her when I see her next. I have a LOT of questions.....

      +Michelle Grenier, I don't think there will ever be a good way to figure out if men are just into one night stand or not. People can keep up a facade and hide who they truly are for at least 90 days to a year. You'll just have to test them and judge how they react to those tests. Try telling them you don't have sex until a you're in a committed relationship and see what their action/reaction is. If they blow a fit or go into super pleaser mode - then watch out.

    Question. I just got shamed by a man because I told him I sent a “peace offering gift” to a guy I was seeing. I wanted to salvage the friendship part and felt it was ok to send an olive branch approach. My friend said it was a bad move and would have adverse reaction to the male as me looking weak while bruising his ego. I don’t get that. Is ego and pride more important than mending at bare minimum a friendship? I couldn’t cancel the gift. Will this blow up in my face? I don’t understand how wanting to make peace and sending a useful gift ( it was a Calloway 3 wood) is wrong. Am I in for it?
