    I believe the ex’s rebound is just them anaesthetising the pain of breaking up with you, they’ll get bored eventually.

      Doesn't mean they'll want the ex back. Sometimes they'll fall in love with someone else (person after the rebound) and move on completely.

      SweetFace this is rare..
      My ex, for instance.. had a rebound and then they broke up. It takes a while to get over a meaningful relationship.
      Shortly after the rebound, he sent messages of how he’d love if we got back together. Which I told him I’m with someone else.

      They are most likely just physically attracted but here are two thoughts - 1. A relationship won’t last based off of physical attraction, they will soon get to know them 2. They probably aren’t actually that attractive. Also, while your ex is off with their new gf/bf, you know that they will be comparing you to them and thinking about all of your memories so dont worry, the nostalgia and them missing you will kick in

    Act like you don't care post photos of you having the best time of your life on social media. Remember the things that made them obsessed with you at the start. Exceed them. Anyone can get an ex back. You just have to be an improved version of you. That old you is gone. Youre even better than how you were when you were first together. They'll look at that then their current girlfriend and it'll make them wonder why they left you. They'll always want the best and you ARE the best. 🙂

      Or current “guy/rebound” which mine left before quarantine, cheated on me and went to move in with her “new Daddy” to boss up and be chillin (havin fun) but she said “I found someone I actually vibe with and haven’t felt so stressed out for the past 3 days with” and she gave up on me yet I took her one wonderful dates, two for one deals on Sushi, couple stuff, good stuff, got her a Swarovski bracelet to show her what she meant to me on V day and sung for her and she became abusive and bit me, she then on the last week we were together asked me “baby can you please get me these clothes” and I said no to her because I noticed she wanted me to get her more shit than usual but being nice I did so and we planned to go eat and it resulted in an argument because she yelled at a passing motorist and a car pulled up next to us and the three of us ended up at the light and the car next to us had some ghetto hood ass mfs and the guy was like “you gonna get your boyfriend ass beat damn” and I told her to shut up n quit talking to random people and she said “I don’t give a fuck” and that ticked me off like first why is she starting shit and then saying she doesn’t care?
      It could have been avoided but she went off and then we fought about it as they drove off, it left US FIGHTING, she then slammed my door and everything fell apart the next day... then the following week she cheated and said it “IS your fault I left but not your fault I choose to do whatever I want and you HAVE NO CONTROL” word for word...
      But when I ignored her at times she would be dying for me to pay attention, I don’t play games but at the end felt like that’s all I was doing because I truly tried investing in our relationship.
      Now I’m in this quarantine, definitely getting back to myself, posting, recording, I am blocked on everything however, if she came back I’d shit myself but wouldn’t hold my breath.

    Staying friends with an ex after they have moved on with someone else will only keep you in a friend zone and will lower your value. They will USE you emotionally and sometimes physically while enjoying their new relationship. You're nothing but an ego boost for them. They can move on and still have the perks of dealing with you when it's convenient for them.

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  5 лет назад +22

    Look, if your ex is going on a rebound, we know 90% of the time, they don't last for more than 6 months, and that's being generous. Focus on you-but not for their sake-for you and you only.
    Also, if your ex is jumping into another relationship in a couple of days to a few weeks, after you were with them for 6 months or more....they're unhealthy people and I'll strongly wager they have either untreated Borderline or Narcissistic personality disorder. In which case....*clears throat* *RUN AND DON'T EVER LOOK BACK*

      Hi Danice, We understand that breakups can truly be painful and I'm sorry that you have to go through this. We hope that you are holding on well. There is nothing wrong grieving from the breakup. Feeling this type of emotions would truly give more space for positive emotions to come in. But you have to work on the healing process and let go of the old relationship. In that way, if you decided to go back with him, both of you are starting off from a clean slate.
      All the best.

He said i should make myself happy and date. But then after he told me that he later said i must let no man touch me. He said he still loves me but he has someone. We talk about the past and what we could have done differently. He said he have somethings to think about. I am not putting my life on hold for him when i am not sure what is taking place.

    I believe if your still in love with someone their wouldnt even be a rebound. Rebounds are just an ego booster when the supply is low. Love last forever if its love! True 💘 love you will no cause no matter what damage they caused you or how badly bruised you are from their decisions u still feel that unconditional desire of the love you have for them. The feeling of a piece of you is gone. So if i love that person their is no doubt that will ever stop. Nor would there be a rebound for ego. But i will continue to move the hell along in silence. My life doesnt stop because someone is unsure of theirs!!

    You are awesome sir. Hey guys, I know some of you think it is stupid to get back with your ex. However, remember women are emotionally weak and they fall into another relationship easily, especially if you hurt them. If you truly love them deeply you will desire to have them back. If you don't really love them you will have no tolerance and don't care to have them back. This teaching is for people who really love their ex.

      I love my ex and kids so much since the day we started seriously.
      I messed up 3 times.
      The time before last, we lived apart for a year and still got on well.
      Then I moved back after a year but due to self esteem in work I ended up soothing myself the wrong way with beer behind her back then got involved smoking weed through the job I had at the time that made me feel bad and low, the job that is which is why I did things to numb my mind.
      All behind her back but got caught out and kicked out since November 22.
      When it happened I gave up work for a year after a breakdown and begged and pleaded for most of it.
      Since then, I have a great job and one that would suit not only me but the family dynamic.
      I work nights with ample time off and she is also a nurse with similar shift make up of days and nights.
      I don’t drink anymore and would absolutely never touch weed again because I’m so happy with my job.
      I just wish I knew a way to fix how I behaved and get rid of the other guy to be with my family for a faultless future on my part and a happy one
      I know it could be but wish I knew a guaranteed way to change her mind as we still communicate because of the kids.
      Any sound advice would be very much appreciated

      The issue with that is that you consider all break-ups, and thus all relationships the same. My ex and I broke up quite suddenly in a way that doesn't make sense. I am respecting his need and wishes, but I know that our story isn't over yet. The breakup was incredibly painful, yet very necessary for me to learn a few things, make a few changes and do some exploring of my own. I have every intention of trying things again with him a little down the road- if he doesn't want to, then I'll accept it- but each situation is unique and different.

Those past experiences will ALWAYS be in the back of their minds whether they want them there or not. The word “friends” is just a meaningless label when it comes to your ex or someone you’ve already dated. The problem with you is you simply don’t have the patience to re seduce them. So why are you here then?? This is for people who actually WANT their ex back. No matter what it takes. And you’re not becoming anyone’s emotional tampon if it’s literally both ways. Just ask them not to talk about it if they’re seeing anyone. YEAH, it’s THAT easy.

    Sad thing is i have to keep watching this video everyday to keep myself in check, but i believe she's hiding this relationship from the family and she seemed to have met him and not known him at all. Get this we were just texting a few sentences when shes at her bfs house and i was not bothered and asked to catch up with her but obviously she couldn't lol. Earlier she stopped by to pick up money i owed her and she wanted to hug me but i was sweaty from the gym, we were smiley and before she left she looked down and up on me lol Thank you Clay😊, i am keeping my confidence and attraction towards her

    @JeffDouglas_ 3 года назад +20

    While I agree with so much of what you're saying, especially towards growing and and evolving into a better version of yourself, I have to completely disagree with your opinion of the friend zone. My ex definitely has ex's in her past that are truly nothing more than friends as well as myself, having a woman i was together with for 10 years, we've both moved on and are absolutely nothing more to each other than friends. Not overly close ones, but ones at any rate with no lingering romantic feelings. Sliding an ex into the friend zone can be a way one person removes or lessens the burden of guilt on themselves over bad things they've done in a relationship they cannot overtly take responsibility for.

As she was looking at me,her eyes were going up and down. I could tell she was looking at my lips. Later on,I asked her about it. I said "were you thinking I was going to kiss you?". She said yes. I asked why. She said "it's because you normally do when you hold my face" or something like that. Anyway,as said,she was looking up and down from my eyes to my lips. It was like she was expecting me to and wanted me to but was surprised that I didn't.

I know it's going to take a little time but she knows her heart is with me in fact she started calling him a hurdle. It's only a matter of time I just hope she doesn't dig herself a bigger hole waiting for a good time to do it. Like Jerry Seinfeld says, breaking up is like knocking down a Coke machine you've got to Rock It a few times before you can actually bring it down.

She has started to reach out to me about her dad passing away and comes to me for emotional support as she says she doesn’t know who she has and knows me and her understand eachother.

I don’t know if he will come back, i don’t know if he ever comes back, will I accept him? , but 1 thing I know is he does respect me and thinks of me on a whole other level of respect.

      Hi Jerry, We understand that you may be feeling emotional upon hearing that but we have to understand that there are things that we can control and cannot have full control of. In this particular situation, we can only control our own selves on how we would handle the situation. Aside from that, dating someone doesn't necessarily mean that they wanted to be in a relationship with the person. But it could be your ex's way of exploring. So take the situation as an opportunity for you to apply the Decoy Strategy that we teach inside our course. All the best.

I have been caught talking to other women through text out of retaliation because of him, but iv never physically cheated on her. She won't tell me it's over so I know something is still there. She's convinced he just wanted to help all these years. He in fact caused alot of damage. I'm prepared to move forward if I have to but I'm so lost right now.

    Interesting you have a significantly different approach to other relationship advisors like Brad Browning. Brad says that you absolutely should not stay in frequent contact or be a friend to your ex when they have broken up or on a rebound, otherwise you become a safety net for them. His reasoning is that if they have chosen to not be with you, or to be with someone else, they need to feel the full consequences of not having you in their life anymore. They won't miss you enough to want you back if you're always still there in their life.

      You just have to stay strong and try and move on. It's easier said than done but you gotta make up your mind and move on. This only confirms that the relationship is over and she doesn't want to have anything to do with you. It's a tough pill to swallow but you'll be fine. It's going to be hard while in the process of moving on but trust me it'll be worth it when you finally do. Take it one day at a time. Tell yourself you're going to go 15 mins without trying to message her, then try going thirty minutes, then try going a day. Before you know it, you would have gone a week without messaging her, then a month and before you know it a year. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. When your ex realizes it's been a while without talking to you, she'll want to message you but by then, you would have moved one. Good luck.

      Hi Bosco, it might take some time to rebuild the friendship back since your ex's wall of reactance is still high. We have to respect her wishes for space for now. This will allow her emotions to settle down and heal. Until such time she will have that emotional capability to maintain a connection with you. Focus on what you can do for now to improve yourself, like learning and practicing the Advanced Relational Skills, :-) All the best.

    My ex fiance of 7 years got with someone else 2 weeks after splitting up with me. (The reason for the split was me betraying his trust) and I'm heartbroken :(
    I want to get him back but him being with someone else is just gutting. He even admitted he's just trying to fill a void and that he misses me, yet he's still with her (it's only been 2 weeks)
    I'm torn between keeping in contact and being 'friends' to wanting to cut all contact for a while to make him understand what he wants. What's the best way forward?

    What about when your seperated wife allows a guy she met a month ago to move in with her and your kids?It is to my advantage because we always have a connection because of the children.Though I feel she is trying to replace me with this new guy,she hasn't told the kids "this is your new dad" ,but I could see her trying that.
