    I cannot stress the importance of putting yourself on probation for at least 9 months after an ex comes back. If you don’t, you’ll go back to your old ways and lose them/ and your new self again. I’m talking to YOU

      Hi Coach Craig. I'm watching your videos all the time to decrease my anxiety, I just had a break up. My ex broke up with me because I went to the philippines I was partying with my batchmate and not a drinker I was drunk and didn't knw what really happened I was raped and got pregnant. My ex told me that we can never be together but he keeps texting me and said he still care about me and said we can still be friends. He also texted me to keep in touch. Idk what to do??? Please help me😢😢😢😢
      Thank you Coach! ❤️

    My ex decided to contact me after 4 months of NC saying she misses me like crazy... after crucially working on myself and maintaining discipline. Plan on seeing her soon and see how it goes.. lol
    Edit: so we spoke and we had a great time. Towards the end, she admitted her mistakes and wants to work things out again but become better and stronger. I basically admitted to her that I've been learning so much on my own post break up and been doing a lot better and she seen the changes (which led her to feel more attracted). After hearing me out, she wants to not jump the ship, rather work slowly to get me back and wishes to commit to her own personal growth since she admitted she wants me to stay in her future. She also admitted she was thinking of me literally everyday and wished I had contacted her because she was sad and scared that I never contacted her for any special occasion and was scared the more she waited to contact me, the faster I'll move on . Its so funny how tables turn and how I said I dont need her but I want her and I want to see change. I basically put it in her head that I'm able to move on with or without you, just show me you can do the work. GUYS TRUST NC BECAUSE EVERYTHING I'VE EXPERIENCED ON RECONCILING WITH MY EX COACH CRAIG WAS RIGHT. EVERYTHING FROM EVERY VIDEO I WATCHED, MY EX MENTIONED. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE ACCURACY BECAUSE I KEPT SAYING "COACH CRAIG SAID THIS EXACT THING!!" Work on yourself and like coach said, they will "feel" you moving on.

      Working on yourself should be a life mantra . It’s good she’s come back in a sense as she’s able to visibly observe the new you. You now have the power so she needs to win you over and if she has the maturity to grow and work on herself it could become a great thing.

    My self worth was shattered after my ex left, I'm slowly building myself but a new version, the old me died the day she left and I've been like a wandering ghost/shell with no purpose.
    Everyone says i seem like a different man, I try not to let things bother me anymore, I'm more empathetic, emotionally self contained and I believe I'll be a completely different person if i ever see my ex again.
    I'm jealous of most of you, I've never wanted someone back in my life like i do her.
    I'm working today and got a bit miserable as she popped into my head with her smiling face.
    It really is a bereavement.
    Thanks for all you do

Been working on myself the whole time and haven't reached out in months. I used to watch these videos daily, but it has gotten easier. But from time to time I need reassurance, so I come here!

      Yea, I tried contacting her back in September, no response, I just felt even worse. She said she left because of my anger....which makes no sense to anyone who knows me. I am sarcastic and when I do get mad I'm usually passive about it. Never hit/touched her in anger. I told her of that was true I would go to therapy, I have been going since last June. She talked to him but not to me. About a month ago I sent her back a few things she left at my house. High school diploma and a letter I had gotten her years ago that had our dog that passed aways paw print. Nothing. We where together for almost 4 years and lived together for 3. I guess I just wasn't worth the effort.

    Writing out a list of everything that makes my ex human and little things that bothered me in the relationship made me realize that we are equals, we both had a part in the breakup and that I can give myself some self compassion. It didn't fix my self esteem issues but it certainly helped me see my worthiness as equal to his. Neutral view of the self is better than negative ❤

She earned more than me and had a better job and a degree. After she left me I tired to remain in contact but she told me to move on and to stop wasting my time reaching out and messaging her!

Yes I'm biased cause I love him, but I think that's a rather arrogant statement among other issues with it. (If you do please do it with Margaret!! Love you guys together ❤) TY for being awesome.

  • @atibben12

    Well I definitely felt as though I wasn't good enough for my ex. We broke up almost a year ago now. In the beginning of the break up we were still seeing each other. I was chasing and too keen. Then someone else same onto the scene that she worked with. This threw me into a complete spin and I ended up pushing her further away, to the point she said she didn't think we should see each other. I had a coaching with Craig and Margaret who suggested NC. Actually, insisted NC. It was so, so hard and I was completely ridden with anxiety. To the point I was barely able to function. I'd forget appointments, didn't want to eat and was tired all the time but couldn't sleep when I really needed to. I started therapy, saw a psychiatrist, started medication and focusing on myself. 3 month into NC I got an indirect/direct text near Christmas time asking for a roast chicken recipe I cooked for her and her family (it's delicious btw). We always used to cook together. She said she missed cooking and then went on to ask how I was. I tired to set a date to meet. Initially she was keen and then went silent. Ouch. Back to NC. The whole time of NC I realised I wasn't really focusing properly on myself. I had been on a number of dates with lovely and beautiful women who were interested, but I just wasn't ready. I was still holding on hope. I wasn't ridden with anxiety any more but I hadn't let go. It finally clicked just this weekend. Somethig changed. As the coaches say, it's a process and doesn't happen immediately. I was ready to let go before. Since then I've stopped drinking and partying completely. I hit the gym 5 days a week and have been given a couple of promotions in the mean time. Things were getting better and better.
    I had a work meeting at the hospital where my ex works just a few days ago. I broke NC. Not out of anxiety, but out of a place of strength. I still care deeply about my ex, but now I am OK with where I am at. The breakup needed to happen for both of us. I just said that I got thinking about her because I was at the hospital and hopes she is well. She asked to meet for coffee straight away. I was a little nervous but feeling good. She was meant to be on a 15 Min break but we sat, talked laughed and cried a little together for over an hour. She said that she would like to see me again. I said that would be great. I really would like to see her again but I am also OK with it never happening. I don't know what the future holds and I'm OK with the feeling now. I actually feel so calm.
    To anyone out there hurting. Keep working on you, at your own pace and never give up. Step out of your comfor zone and do things that truly serve you and make you happy. If you adopt this mindset everything falls into place. Everything will be OK. ❤️

      @Joana Landra we've seen each other a few more time since then. Hung out and cooked dinner together, gone to the beach etc. She asked if I was seeing anyone and told me she was seeing someone for a while but they broke up because she kept talking about me and the other guy wasn't in to that lol.
      She told me she loves me still and then pulls away. I reached out again to catch up when I was working in her building for a day but she said she was busy. Tbh, that hurt but I got over it pretty quickly. She is confused and going through her own growth.
      I've since met a beautiful, beautiful woman and just starting to see each other now. I wouldn't have been ready to meet someone like her without really focusing on myself and letting go of the outcome of getting back together with my ex. Who knows what will happen in the future....I have a feeling that when my ex finds out I'm dating someone new she will be back. It is a shame because we had so much in common and beautiful moments together...but she isn't the only person in the world who I can have a relationship like that with.
      People come into our lives to teach us something. I've learned to be true and be myself and that is worth more than any relationship....so as much as those process has been painful, I now realise they were all growing pains and I'm greatful for who I am now.

    I do need 2 cents on this one: I broke up with my ex for giving me the silent treatment over nothing. We we’re having a very intimate moment in the morning and I stopped after an hour because I had to leave San Fran to make it to work in Redwood City (almost hour commute). She got angry at me for leaving her hanging and went off on me for using her for my pleasure and seeing her as an easy piece of meat. This is not the first time it happened and when she stops, I stop and I listen to her. After leaving for work; she gives me the silent treatment until the next day even though I apologized and said my piece to reassure her of no ill intentions. When I broke up with her, I told her how she treated me was not acceptable and we’re supposed to bring the best, not the worst in each other.
    Fast Forward to now; it’s been almost a month and I feel that I miss her. Even though she was wrong for treating me that way, my heart and mind is telling me to reach out to her

    ADVICE PLEASE. Me & my ex have been together for about 6 years. We had such a healthy & good relationship until covid hit last year & he went into a depression which caused our relationship to suffer. He broke up with me but with 3 weeks of no contact he came back & wanted to work things out. For about 5 months after getting back together we were so happy it was like we never broke up. Then aos he got distant again, didn’t wanna hangout, & just slept all the time. Then one night we met up to talk about our relationship & he just broke up with me. I was so lost & hurt cause it was out of nowhere. Then first 2 weeks he kept the line of communication open, still said he loved & missed me & answered everytime I called but then a couple days ago we got into a small argument because I was just so mad he didn’t try to make our relationship better & just gave up after all we been through. He ended up not replying to me & I started no contact yesterday. I still have hope for us, I miss him so much i don’t know what to do.

      My father chose an abusive alcoholic idiot over me. I was the cause of everything bad and all her issues despite being a child at the time. I never got over it and never loved him again. The woman used him for money of course and left him. I was blamed for that too. I was everyone’s punching bag growing up so relationships aren’t easy for me though I am nothing at all like my selfish moron father. I don’t drink at all. You’re right, Victoria. Childhood experiences don’t define us. It wasn’t our fault.

      @@sarah6932 no to being friends with your ex if you're still hoping you'll be back together. But if you feel that you genuinely dont have any romantic feelings for your ex anymore, then i think its great to be friends with your ex. Just be sure that you dont have any lingering desire to fix your relationship.
