The WHY of Endings - Relationship Break Up and Acceptance / Attachment Trauma Alan Robarge Therapist
Your videos have given me the ability to calm down, if even only for the duration of the video. I've been unable to eat or drink or function for two weeks now. I have a lot of mental illness issues I deal with and a relationship ended two weeks ago with them simply cutting contact and refusing to speak about what happened. I am binge watching your videos to help me come to terms with my attachment issues and accept the real possibility that they will not ever come back and tell me what happened. I'm hoping the more I watch, the more I'll be able to heal. There's a million questions in my mind and I'm just trying to come to terms with sometimes they never get answered.
Hang in there. The universe brought you to the channel. You will find peace. 💛
@@norawalker9180 Thank you. I'm struggling, but I'm trying. 💛
You are not alone. Thank you for your response. It helped me
Hope you are doing better ❤
@@dggamer1707 me too ..its been 5 months and I almost think its getting worse
It’s so much painful when you were blamed for the relationship ending.
I hear you. Empathy to you.
The pain of not being a ‘WE’ is excruciating 💔😢
The pain of him giving to others when I thought ‘WE’ were ‘FOREVER’
He left me behind and I fell apart 💔😢
I thought what we had was special because it was ‘OURS’ .. 💔😢
I definitely felt like we were ‘ONE’..
Limerance took over and I couldn’t let him go - how embarrassing 🙈 was
I will work on a sense of self xxx
Thank you for this video ❤️
“Being hijacked by the fear of being left behind”

For centuries couples have achieved permanence. Hop-scotching from one relationship to the next because you ran into a rough patch in the relationship is a very modern phenomenon. People leave marriages like they log out of websites nowadays.
Why I'll never marry. Society is too big and there are too many possibilities out there. She'll find someone else and lose interest in you. Why make a promise in your marriage when you know her feelings could have turned 180 degrees 6 months from now.
This is why id rather be alone. Why invest so much and it ends? Unecessary pain. Id rather stay alone.
I hear you
Thank you
That’s the thing. It’s all necessary. If you don’t experience it, how can you learn from it?
I used to feel this way. I’m not saying I’m better now. I just have a different view now. I don’t think everyone has to agree. This is just a different viewpoint. I think there are things we can only learn about ourselves within relationship with others. For me, there were things i could heal ONLY within the context of a relationship, because the damage was done within relationship with others when I was a child. Plus, like another commenter alluded to, post-traumatic growth is real. And things don’t need to last forever to be amazing. I’d rather get out of a relationship while I still feel grateful for it than stay in a bad situation just to prevent an ending.
Yes. I want it to make sense. I want to understand because then I can control it and let it go. At least that’s my core belief. It’s inaccurate. My brain and heart don’t communicate. I do get to a place where I accept that’s it’s just not going to work, it doesn’t matter why. But then I get lonely and the pain starts wearing on me and I pick up the subject again. Thank you for empathy and validating how difficult this is.
Great awareness. I hear you. Many of us can relate with struggling with these looping thoughts driven by the pain. Glad this resonated. Thanks for valuing my work.
Alan you are like an internet comforting father, you explain things so well and help us move through grieving processes and validate our emotions. You are like the parent we all needed in our childhoods, thank you 🥺
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for valuing my effort to capture these difficult topics and explain them so they are accessible. Glad it brings benefit.

My ex broke up with me about two weeks ago, and your videos are so amazing and helpful that I cannot thank you enough for sharing them!
At first I saw 2 of your videos and everything he said hurt so much so I stopped and tried watching the “how to get your ex back” videos.
Today, after thinking that i’m becoming better, I felt so bad and decided to try your videos again. Although they hurt like hell and were killing all my hope of reuniting - I definitely feel like they’re way healthier than the “junk” videos that make you feel better for a small amount of time but bad for your health in the long run.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing that my work was helpful. And I hear you, endings can be painful. Wishing you self-gentleness.
It's so important to keep talking about this. I welcome you taking part in our conversations in the Community Program, Improve Your Relationships. www.alanrobarge.com/community
Because I can never go back to being that little person I was before. I am bigger now. I will not allow anyone to treat me poorly. It is time for me to move on.
Whatzapp him now....
WOW, what timing!!! I've been agonising about contacting my ex, and all I've learned from your videos has helped me to stay strong. It's only been a few weeks but it feels like soooo much longer! I don't accept that relationships end actually, so your words are really hitting home to me. Many thanks yet again Alan!!
You got this Bev!
Stay strong 💪🏼
@@ladeedaa1419 OHHH thanks so much for the encouragement... it's helpful!!
Hope you are doing alright sis !
how did it go Bev?
@@noneofyourbuizness OHHH thanks Mili!!! It's tough I must say... so glad to come back and read some comments of encouragement, it really helps!!!
There’s so much to consider in this talk. Alan doesn’t pretend to have answers but I’ve gained a far greater understanding of my life-long tendency for rumination.
Thanks for the comment. Glad this video spoke to you.
So happy you're back Alan! 😃 Your videos, knowledge and your special Soul helped me tremendously 1 year ago when I was getting out of my clinical depression. And here I am a year later, broken hearted again. And here you are - just in time to not let me slip into the darkness. Thanks for your existence! 💙
I wish I would’ve found this January 2021. I lived my entire year on a hamster wheel. Literally the entire year. Thank you for this
Whatzapp him now....
Wow, limbic resonance… that sounds amazing and that is SO me. Not my partner at all. Did not have that level of interest and was clear he was not going to change. I never asked him to change, but knew we would not make it for the long haul as things were, so I let him go hoping to at least save the friendship. No blame, just incompatibility. That is why it’s over. I still love him and I’m still having a hard time accepting it’s done. Just taking it a day at a time.
Hey Danielle, howre you now? ): just started
I felt this a bit
When you commit to a relationship you take a risk. There are no guarantees. If your relationship ends against your wishes, it’s just dumb luck. You may, as I did, enter the ranks of the desperate and this can continue for a lifetime.
Incredible understanding and empathy shown in this post. Thanks for all the work you’ve put into it.
Whatzapp him now......
All good things come to an end, we have our memories. Never lose hope and have things to look forward to.❤
Thank you for another great video Alan. I had a two year long 'on and off' relationship with an avoidant man and every time we were breaking up I was asking myself 'why?' until one day I came across information about attachment traumas and finally found the answer. I realized that I have some deep unhealed childhood wounds and that I have to concentrate on my healing and stop blaming the other person that our relationship doesn't work.
The only way I see how healing work might help is by not choosing an avoidant men in the first place. Or when the first red flags show up, take a sharp turn and leave for self-preservation's sake.
How did it work for you?
Listening to this makes me wonder how and why anyone ever relates to anyone else! It sounds like we are all cold marbles rolling about bumping into/off each other. This evokes the question: why invest in relationship, ever? What is the purpose of relationship?
As often, you point out that what we are looking for on the outside is what is missing inside. This video helped me to stop inspecting all the details of every interaction looking for reasons and things I could fix about me and my ex. Our wounds were inflamed and the inflamation made soothing each other no longer possible. It is a metaphor, but I think it works. I need to get better at reassuring myself; self-soothing. Thank you.
I got dumped over pot roast, lol. But I know the real reason why. He is avoidant dismissive, realized he had to address other people's needs besides himself and cut me loose. I feel bad for him, doesn't mean he's not a coward. He blamed me for things that didn't happen, accuse me saying things I never said, all because I wanted him to address my feelings that were hurt from his actions that he admitted he has no regret making. He wanted me quiet, don't complain, don't ask for my needs to be met but he wants his met, and be there until he's done. He just needed an excuse to breakup so he can twist the story and make me look like the bad guy. He needs help, he's been told to get therapy, he refused, so my sympathy stopped there. I have attachment trauma too so I'm going to therapy but yea, I know why, I accept it and this time, I can say with confidence it is all his fault.
I got dismissed by introvert but he certainly avoidant as well and emotionally shut . I begged including even offered him money but still didn't want me back
This is my first time being dumped which was a complete backfire from a protest that I iniated. Instead of the protest causing him to reassure me he agreed with it and left me
I can very strongly relate to your situation.
Me too. I got the break up messages over salmon. My feelings were never met. Gave him one more chance and he ended it yesterday over me spilling tea. Trouble was I was so anxious my shaking didn't help. He berated me for leaving a stain. Told me to take my stuff and go. Didn't even check if I had burnt myself which I had . Left his place in dirty clothes, not able to freshen up, as id just woke up, drove home in tears 😢
@@HisaLight2mypath ugh - sorry - I know this scene well
Thanks for coming back! 🙏
Alan! You're back!! So happy !
Thank you so much Alan , your videos are a gift to me !
This video brought me to tears
Thankyou 🥰
I found your channel about 5 months ago and I’m so happy you’re posting. Your style and content and delivery resonates with me so much. Your knowledge through experience and the empathy from that shines through. I have worked with a few therapists and watched many online but I’ve never connected like I have with you, even though we’ve never met, I feel I’ve known you a long time. I look forward to more content, I’m so happy to support you and your channel 🙏 you are a true gift from god!
I think if the emotional pain or suffering teaches a lesson, then the lesson is the gift. We dont seek out emotional pain or suffering, but if it happens and we learn something that heals us, the lesson and subsequent healing is the gift ❤
Thank you, I am helped a lot by your videos. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you Alan. Brilliant insight.
Thank you for your videos, I’m sorry for what you are going through.
I am so grateful for these videos, they are saving my life.
yes ! Mr. Robarge back at it healing what at one time felt damaged beyond repair
Thank you so much for your amazing work. I have been a silent fan of yours for years.
Always appreciate your empathy and that you don't pretend that life or the relationship is always gonna work out, and you acknowledge the suffering that life and relationships almost inevitably bring along with them. The pain of living indeed. Insecurity, impermanence, loneliness, disconnect, isolation... Both suffering and happiness are impermanent and this is not "good" or "bad". I discovered your channel after my first breakup of (also) my first proper long relationship (9 years). Your voice was a bit of light and consolation in the crushing darkness I felt then. Now I'm on my third breakup ;) and it's painful again, but not quite as crushing as the last time and here I am seeking out your voice again. Thank you.
Oh honey - I can FEEL your loss and I understand completely 🙏👍😘
Hi Dr, beautiful to see your expertise and Kindness around again, WB, you have been missed :))
Omg Alan you are back!!! Not struggling with this at the moment but I will listen anyway because you are the best ever and have helped me so much.

I am really impressed by your information, your sincerity, the way you present it. At the same time- you have a reality check, that is humorous to me, I just have to crack up because it's almost funny "We Humans" and how we are all trying to be so evolved. The humor in knowing we continue to change, so we can never truly be "altogether, I got this I learned it all". Letting it go and realizing we are all in this together brings me relief. The relief that I don't have to "figure it all out" because it's going to change and fall away. Thank you Alan. I was anxious and depressed- and, now I can find some relief by laughing and realizing- it's all okay.
Alan, you just hit the nail on the head every time. But this one for sure--absolutely magnificent! I won't say how long I'm still "unpacking", but yeah, I am. This gave me a good shake, like when you wring out a rag of soggy, stale water.
OMG I was JUST wondering when you were coming back to RUclips yesterday!! ❤️

Whatzapp him now....
I feel so fortunate to have found you. I want to join and take your course. Thank you so much for making these videos available.
Thanks for the kind words and for valuing my work.
This video is so spot on.
My goodness.. thank you Alan. I relate to so many things here. I get it. I have one main point to raise and I wonder if anyone else in sync with my (1 year post breakup) journey relates:
- I would agree that considering the breakup an “awakening” (I.e., omg I see have s**t going on too!) a “gift”, is somewhat insensitive, but only on the basis that it’s categorically over; that both parties cannot take joint accountability for the breakdown and work on reconciliation. In this case, it’s awful and painful for one more than the other (in most cases…) So a gift, it does not feel like.
On the other hand, IF couples can check themselves, what better gift than to confront the issues together at the point of awakening, moving forward with a collective insight into what happened *before* VS what was happening *during*, in order to try a new method and save the relationship (and in my case a family w/ 2 children).
That is what I think people (including me, right now) hold on to. On discovering all this info, it appears, at face value, to be a simple fix, akin to the tightening of a loose bolt that no one realised was loose (but explains EVERYTHING!). So then it leaves you stuck with one of the WHY questions - e.g., now that we know, why weren’t they prepared to see this through, like I was? Could the good stuff not be *really* good now?…
Yes, the breakup often goes way deeper than a simple mismatch between attachment styles etc (and I take the point about couples fundamentally operating at "different frequencies" which are potentially not possible to change) but because it seems like a simple fix to one party, it’s so easy to find yourself in an endless cycle of “why”, exactly as this video describes.
Wishing anyone going through a tough time a gentle recovery - it’s super hard, especially when there are children involved.. ❤️
Both videos I watched today changed my mind about the pain I’ve been feeling lately . You are so right and give away your your human nature and compassion to others who are going thru so pain and no one has said to me to face my pain and admit it’s real , safeness speaks truth - you said and many others thing that helped to understand all is temporary , all changes , nothing is permanent,
Thank for taking with your own heart , only another heart is able to bring solace to a hurting heart
Thank you so much !

HELLO ALAN! once again fantastic content, it was strange 4 years ago I discovered your channel, after a massive self sabotage, 4 years later I reflect on the loss and am filled with anxiety. However your new content has coming in perfectly when I've decided to take a stand against my fears and accept what can't be change! For what it's worth I think we are all glad we get to share our journey with you and we are so very grateful for you and your work! Best of luck and loving support everyone! I wish you peace and happiness! 😊
Whatzapp him now....
Thank you for your content it is helping me through a really tough time
I appreciate the feedback. Glad to hear you are finding benefit from the content.
Yes! I should stop dreaming of having great friends or a great spouse and have the sense of WE. There are no WE, I should accept this reality. Also, another nice feeling in marriage (apart from WE) is the sense of being heard and taken care of.
SO real ! I felt your spirit. Thank you for opening up to us. Your videos are helping me heal and learn about my self as never before. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge more than I can express. 😊
Whatzapp him now......
Alan your content shines a light where my understanding is so dim. This video is gold. Thank you so much for all you do.
I appreciate the kind words. Glad this delivers light. Thanks for valuing my work.
So glad you are posting again, Alan. These videos are very helpful.
No worries 😎😂
I just wanted to thank you so much for your videos. Your clear instructions about leaving the relationship that felt wrong was the catalyst in my break up and I'm finally feeling safe and like I made the right choice. And that I'm doing the right thing. And I'm prioritizing healing.
This sounds like helpful unpacking. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for valuing my efforts to offer explanation. Glad it delivers benefit.
i like how you addressed over use of attachment styles and our ego ready to blame on the other when they don’t do what we want. Great discussion! thank you!
Glad this resonates. Thanks for valuing my work.
Alan, thank you for your content. Both here and in your wonderful healing community. Thanks to working through a bunch of your content and through 4-1/2 years of psychotherapy with a wonderful therapist, in my last relationship break-up I was able to contemplate and resolve the "why" and move on with clarity and calm and confidence.
That is great to hear! I appreciate the kind words and thank you for valuing my work. Glad it is beneficial for you.
Thank you Alan. Incredibly helpful ❤

Whatzapp him now......
Mercy this hurt. And was SPOT on. My own searching for the “why” is a form of magical thinking from childhood- I haven’t grieved/ actively avoid feeling the full weight of all the overwhelming out of control “why’s” that went unanswered in childhood- and my adult brain knows even if I get an answer - it won’t be enough. I want what isn’t possible- a trauma free childhood, love from both of my parents, parents that I wish never had been traumatized themselves. I want a family that loves me like I love them… I didn’t get what I wanted- and stuffing the grief down has just set me up for the perfect meltdown in adulthood. The pain of my child self demands to be listened to.
Attention must be paid.
Alan you give so much soul to your videos…thank u so much for all your time

It’s cool to appreciate one’s own suffering. It’s a dick move to recommend it as a tip to someone in pain. I like this background. Thanks for your work. Super helpful!
Thank you for this video, the powerful section 25:15 helped me understand the views of my ex, and as I listened I heard about myself. So informative about trauma bonding. Trauma Symptom of Intrusion, I need to talk about this and think about this. The question Why is asking reassurance and often from the person who left you (In my case). Elements of this seem true, I need to look at myself and this. As well as these other things mentioned, thank you again. This is quite exhausting.

Thank you so much for this video.. Hearing you so accurately describe what i have been experiencing internally over the past 5 months, I no longer feel like I'm losing my mind because I can't find a way, although I've really tried, to stop obsessing and anguishing and just let go, despite all the negative consequences hanging on has brought me emotionally..Being able to grasp that the key out of this likely lies in shifting my focus to building a stronger sense of self gives me a glimmer of hope. Could you perhaps do a video on this topic, please? I would love to hear your ideas on that.
Alan, I am struggling very badly and this video has helped me more than anything this week. I haven't been able to work. I feel like I can function today.
Empathy goes out to you. Wishing you self-gentleness. Thank you for letting me know this video was helpful.
So glad to see ypu back on your channel. There is no content on RUclips like yours. And exactly what I needed at this time, permission to grieve, eat pizza and watch tv 🙏❤

I'm 60 years old and have carried this gutwrenching pain around my whole life. All of Alan's videos speak to me. But this last ending finally brought me to my knees. I am trying to reach out to others in my same boat. Does this ever get better?
Wishing you self-compassion. Your story brings up empathy. Glad the content speaks to you. Thanks for valuing my work.
Also, many people ask a similar question like "how do I heal?" Thanks for asking. There are so many things we need to factor in like one's history and experiences. This is something members can explore in the Community Program, Improve Your Relationships www.alanrobarge.com/community You're welcome to join us.
I agree, excellent! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words.
