My ex fiancé i feel like did the psychological displacement thing. Our breakup was on good terms, but he still went into destructive mode where he binged drink for 5 days straight and took a year off school. And he stone walled me. He just couldn't handle hearing me, seeing me, or texting me. so that year off, He was playing games 24/7 as a distraction then went back to school after the year just to jump into a relationship with someone he met at orientation whom looks exactly like me lol made it official in april and 3 months later proposed (without a ring) and now they are engaged.. was hoping he learned from our relationship not to rush lol she put their whole relationship on blast on social media, he kept it all private. and his girl stalked my social media haha. im actually going to school there next month so it will be interesting.
My ex husband of 10 yrs told me he was content in his rebound and never seems enthusiastic about it at all. Almost 2 years now I truly believe he’s in it to save face
i called him in the middle of the night like a desperate fool..he text ne immediately and said Ill call you tomorrow. the next morning he called. we talked for 2 hours. it was a great talk. but he told me he didnt think of me like that anymore. i poured my heart out in a somewhat dignified way. asked him to think about it. he said he would. i know for a fact he called abfew people to talk about it but that is all I know so far. this will be one week ago this thursday.
Something I never understood is why do people wait until after a break up to improve or work on themselves? This isn't healthy either because you're only choosing to work on yourself in the hopes of trying to get validation or convince the ex who probably left you feeling insecure about yourself, that you are capable of bettering yourself or trying to compete with the next person. Which for whatever reason, why not do these things while in the relationship? Why WAIT until after a break up to start doing things to better yourself? I don't understand.
Some people get to feeling too comfortable in the relationship start doing things they never did before say things act a certain way all things they never did before the relationship and wouldn't do during any relationship that's why people have to showbthey can change and get back to the person their ex fell for to began with, and if you don't communicate well like me and my ex our communication went south and things got bad without her telling me what I was doing wrong ect until its too late and there is a dmall thing that finally breaks the dam open then your like me sitting here single watching her date another man while we have kids together and live in the same home she makes 2k plus a week and says she can't Live on her own but who knows that can change in a week if she and her new man click more
In my case, my ex told me many times over four years (!), and I agreed with her. The problem was I didn’t act. When I did act, I didn’t say anything because I wanted to surprise her, showing her that I’d finally begun. Not knowing that I’d started, she ended the relationship, and now it looks like I’m doing it only to get her back.
Thank you Clay for this video and all the information you gave us about that topic. My ex boyfriend and I never spoke for 8 years and now we started talking and seeing eachother and he seems to me he is more attracted into everything that concerns us
Hey Clay, love your content and your approach! We broke up a month ago, been on the edge of breaking up for another month. We agreed on "being friends and we'll see". We still text daily. I've made sure to try to connect with her emotionally, telling her that we're on the same team, I don't judge her decision and I'm improving myself in every way I can including the mistakes I've made that led to the breakup. We had a weird night where I was vulnerable and opened up about how I miss her. On that night (when she even told me she loves and, and "that's why I love you" "watch out or i'll take you home and recently aswell she kept saying that she's happy that we're on the same page and that I see things the way I do (not being mad at her, acknowledging my mistakes and working on them, respecting and understanding her decision of breaking up with me) and she keeps sometimes saying things like "if I won't be the lucky one to have you, then your future partner will be very lucky to have you...the more mature you" (she even mentioned me being more mature which was a problem because I wasn't emotionally mature enough to recognize some thingsthat I've done unintentionally that hurt her. And she said that "I hope when you'll have your army of kids and if I won't be their mother, you'll tell them about your first long term love". I keep riding the dragon man but I'm trying to be there for her without being too pushy. Do you think that we might get back together in a few months after she lost her "frustrations that accumulated" during the relationship as she said?
Hey Clay! Thank you so much for your amazing advice - it's way better and more meaningful than other RUclips relationship experts I've seen! My (v stubborn) ex-fiance and I have been in a naturally awkward setting since he left me almost three months ago - I'm still crazy about him. We've been talking more recently but ironically he seems to be the one to tell me that he still loves me, misses me, that he's lost his 'best friend' and he's 'bereft' without me. Simultaneously he'll say stuff like 'I want the best for you', 'losing you was an expensive lesson' (ie. it's been costly to him but he's accepted the loss), stuff like that. I've done a lot to change and grow, and have regularly demonstrated this growth to him through my ACTIONS towards him, not just my words (but he too needs to go through his own growth). He's always suggesting that he's optimistic about my future in a way that suggests he won't be in it, and has had this 'use it or lose it' mentality - in that we had one shot to make our relationship work and there can't possibly be another shot now that we better understand each other! I don't want to play mind games and act as though I need to meet someone else to get him to recognise that my train will have left the station (as you sometimes say!) and that we have this amazing connection that's worth him fighting his ego for. What should I do? Is he bluffing? Should I keep going if he seems adamant that there isn't a way to find real love in each other again?
I guess being with someone who looks like your ex, and sending your ex pictures of them that they took, might not be a great sign that it's going to last.
The question is do u really want them back. Were they empathetic, loyal, did they leave when the going was tough? Are u there just to service them and u get little bit of attention or a pedestal in the beginning and then slowly get devalued.
Mines is emotinal when I don't sleep in the same house we rent together. I can still afford our rent, I just can't stay there every night for my own well being. She wants space, this is space. I don't see why she's upset
My ex came back to me and we fell back in love but when she needed space after the death of her grandfather she became distant, blocked me, and then started dating someone new but every time I’m near her at school due to a mutual friend, she only talks about her new boyfriend which makes me think that although she shows that she doesn’t care about me anymore, she still thinks about me since she was trying to get a reaction from me. Idk 🤷♂️
Me and my ex are friends with benefits… And she is or acting emotionally unavailable.. I think she just not really for a relationship or She just don’t want one with me.. I’m just going to enjoy what it is.. Until it changed
We all work together.. she’s 18 and he’s 33 he cheated on me with her and they are now dating . Whenever they are aground he he gets cold to her and treats her badly.. when he’s around me he can’t look at me but puts his head down and looks bothered.. and he avoids and ignores me .. I am so confused .. he tries to make me jealous with other co workers
Hi clay thank you for all the videos. It's been about a year my ex-wife of 10 years left me for another man(we have 3 kid's together)and now they have a baby together and she is now telling me that she wants to talk. I've been using the gray rock method with her but she keeps trying to pry into my private life And gets jealous if I'm seeing somebody else. She has me pretty confused
Hi Clay, me and my ex were together for 4 years and this year would have been our 5th, she dumped me for another guy in less than a month, I have been researching a lot and I do suspect that she maybe a narcissist, she had ignored my text and lead me on with false hope to salvage our relationship, she had promised me that I would be able to visit her in two months I bought the plane ticket a few Disneyland tickets and a lot of gifts, she ghosted me for a month and I had recently tried to call her since I found out about another guy. Is this save-able?
My friend, Telling me he do not want a relationship, he said he just. Got out of a 6 year relationship, and he is a ex from 18 years ago, You see I was acting like what he do not want in his life, he want to do me, but just me at this time, but he act like he wants a relationship, but he say he do not, So what's a body to do. MISS upset and confused
As far as I know mine is not rebounding but he’s left his things in my garage and comes around every now and then to grab “things.” But made it clear last week he’s not moving back and not getting out of his lease.” I’ve left him alone for the most part, his mother passed away a few weeks back so I know he’s processing things. I don’t know if he’s keeping me on the back burner or what but he said “well I thought we could be some what friends and I don’t know what the future holds.” It’s weird.
my ex is sexting me every month, this month even more, we broke up 2,5 years ago, he also told me that he got married just after we last met a year ago, now he is texting me and telling me of some moments when we first met, constantly asking me if I’m dating someone or how long it took me to find partner after we broke up
@@ClayAndrews after 3 yrs of giving her a chances, about 6 mins each yr. She always sabotage our relationship. I finally had enough learn my lesson and dumped her. It didn't hurt me. Hurt her pride. So l don't know
@@felixvega3129 Hi my relationship is fixed back again my ex is back to me we loving and happily together,l got help from a great man who brought us back together
My Ex of 9 months still contacts me ,he is in a relationship and said it's getting quite serious but says he will always love me and he misses me ,brings up good memories of our past it's really confusing .
Idk I feel like she's just being nice because we have kids, she says she stuck up for me but her mom said it was her who called me a name, wanting to buy me a car, walking around in her undies changing in front of me all this has been off and on since she started dating her new guy less than a month broke up 2 kids live together idk im prolly over thinking it
They don’t work but it depends on the person, it is unhealthy because they have to carry a lot of luggage and applying it to the next guy, I truly wish you the best with everything.
Can u get an ex back when they feel conflicted while they're in a new relationship thats only just about 4-5 months so far, yet they know they love me and want me but theyre afraid and can't trust me with their heart in a relationship right now due to possibly repeating our old patterns and don’t want to self sabotage this new thing
My ex and i had lots of fights during our relationship, he said I hurt him so much by turning cold and insecure, he talked to be about this for 4 months and I was immature and didn’t listen. Now we have broken up for a week and first he was said he didn’t love me anymore and then became hot and cold towards me and took me back and broke up right after two times, then I got so hurt because he downloaded tinder “and he had previously said that he just wanted to be for himself and not date anyone” and as I was going thorough the heartbreak of my life I unfriended him on social media and told him that I never wanted to see him again, that hurt him a lot and he absolutely didn’t wanna talk to me. Then I tried to make things right and asked if we at least could be friends again, and he agreed and it actually seemed fine for once but then I saw him on tinder for myself and lashed out on him and was rude and everything, saying that he can do whatever the fuck he wants and bla bla and I tried to even take him back the day after, but he just cursed at me and said that he doesn’t wanna try again after I insulted him and told me if I write to him again he will block me. I really love him and We are a really good match But something went wrong and now Im so scared i wont be Able to fix it Is my chances with him screwed, or can I still fix it by waiting? I’m so confused and actually can’t believe he moved on
