      Hey I love your videos! I broke up with my ex, but when I wanted her back she wouldn't take me.
      So I went to therapy to figure out my issues, and have been working on becoming the best I can be. She's been reaching out and we've been hanging out alot. If it wasn't for your videos I wouldn't have done half the work on myself I have.
      Thanks again you two!

      Coach Craig Kenneth
      Thank for all of your videos, I was wondering if you have or done any videos that can help with someone going through a divorce? My wife and I have been together for 10 year, and are now going through a divorce after being married for 3 years. Trying to move forward alone is very lonely and emotionally painful. Can you please advise if you have any videos about divorce thank you.

    When your ex remains single and goes quiet is when you should worry. I’ll guarantee they are processing the break up the right way and will move on in a healthy way. When they rebound you can assume they are hurting and filling the void. I’ve experienced both where most exes come back from rebound but the quiet and the ones that remain single tend to never return.

      @@aguy4401 I've been single about 9 months now. Been doing okay, maybe a bit much substance (ab)use, keeping somewhat in shape and spent this summer fixing the fasade of the house. The last breakup didn't hit me too hard, it was destined. My self confidence were already low and I couldn't, and still can't, find peace and quiet. My thoughts drift to my first love at times, it makes me feel down but I make use of every time it happens to remember myself that it is a closed chapter in my life and I need to keep on going.
      Also when a door closes another one opens. This is totally true. Right before Christmas this cute girl I have met through work reached out to me and we've been chatting ever since. She has told me that she's got feelings for me, but I'm feeling a bit numb and having a hard time to relax and go with the flow. I'm feeling like a hopeless young, awkward and shy teenager again. I hope she shows me patience and can make me feel safe.

    I never did the whole begging/pleading/gesture thing... straight after the break up.. I searched on youtube what to do after a break up, found you and several other coaches. And went straight into no contact... currently its been around 2 months, and he messages me about something every 2 weeks... something usually objective..
    kinda direct indirect but not leading to much talk after apart from one time.. but.. no contact is working.. even though its small.. he comes around every two weeks with an objective but relevant excuse to message me.
    My emotions have also calmed and I dont get the anxiety anymore, and I dont cry as much at all.. in fact its been a couple of days since I cried and thats a big deal cos it was at least once a day, sometimes three times a day. And I've started getting along with my life.

I wasn’t interested romantically so I said ok. Every time since that when he contacted me he was apologizing and saying how sorry he feels and that he wanted to contact me but every time he felt like he doesn’t deserve it.

Long story short her and I did actually hook up again for a while, but the relationship disintegrated.

I feel like I"m doing great and honestly don't really want a relationship at this time. I finally feel free and feel how oppressed I was, constantly feeling like he was going to leave and had one foot out the door. I just am so baffled at why they look SOOOOO BAD as the avoidants?!? Why don't they just return? They thought life was so much better with out us, and it just turns out life is so much better without THEM! I still care about him, which is why I'd love to know why they are torturing themselves.

I don’t believe I’ll hear from mine again, feels hopeless... hang in there brother, sounds like you made the right move I should have said that after the last reach out

    Thank you Coach Craig and Margaret. I just wanted to tell you I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now. I wish you did more for the regretful dumper(me).
    I missed my ex as soon as I broke up with him. I haven't seen him for almost 3 months and I have tried and tried to reach out but I think he did no contact on me, so I did no contact on him.
    Because I may have been the one to initiate the break up but he was the one that didn't fight to keep the relationship going and walked away.
    We finally had a good conversation a couple of days ago. I guess I have my work cut out for me to try and win him back.

    It’s been nearly two months for me, one thing I keep reminding myself is ‘break up is not permanent ‘ and ‘time is on our side ‘
    If the relationship was good. And we were good to them in a decent amount of time, there’s no way they will forget.
    I still remember my crush from 4 years ago time to time. Even if I don’t feel like I still in love with him. I’ll be happy to talk to him again. But that was a crush, who I spent 3 months with.
    So how can my ex, who is my first love (and i am his first girlfriend) will forget me? After everything we have been through. Even if he got bored. But my love for him is real. And we had 90% of a good time in our relationship.

    I think I’m going to invest in the workbook series. I’ve watched a ton of videos and this is by far the best channel I’ve come across about break ups. I probably wouldn’t have made some of the mistakes I made had I found this channel earlier 😅 but I’m in therapy, surrounding myself with loving energy with friends and family, and exploring hobbies I left dormant. I used to work on myself and study love languages and relationships for years before my relationship (my first ever). I fell of during the relationship but I’m excited to work on that again and be a better lover for whoever is next.

    My ex and I worked together, but in different departments. We began to talk to each other when her hours changed. She had to clock in at my computer because I was the first person to get to work and had a key to get in the building.
    Over time, we talked more and more. Until one day, she mentioned her birthday was coming up. I asked if she was going to celebrate and she said no. I asked her out for her birthday and she said yes.
    We were together 4 months.
    The breakup was a shock to me.
    She was coming over to watch a movie at my place and as soon as she walked in the door, she sat on the opposite couch of me and began breaking up with me. She began to cry saying it wasn't my fault and that she doesn't want to break my heart.
    From that point on, work went from pleasant to dreadful.
    Somehow, it looked like we were working things out and went on one more date about six weeks after the first breakup. But it quickly fell apart.
    I'm anxious. She's avoidant.
    We both began to act childish.
    I did all the wrong things including a hand written letter.
    I almost quit my job because I felt she was antagonizing me. Around the same time, little did I know, she put in for a transfer to another location within the company a couple miles down the road.
    Her last day was my first day of no contact. And I contemplated seeing a therapist. I decided not too.
    On day 38 of no contact, she shows up at work ten minutes before I leave. I see her, but she doesn't see me. She was there for work related reasons in another department, but she began hanging out too close to my work area for my comfort. I began to get anxious. I was stressing. My hands were shaking. I didn't say anything to her. When I left, I blew up her phone with calls and voicemails.
    I also began venting on Facebook. She couldn't see my posts, but we each had a common friend and the friend took a screenshot of everything I posted. I pretty much deserved to have that happen for putting it all on Facebook.
    I've lost my self respect and hate I let her affect me this way. Now I'm irritable, work stresses me out, little things set me off. I don't like being in my house because that's where the breakup happened.
    I finally set up an appointment with a therapist. My appointment is Tuesday.

Live your best life, surround yourself with work, new activities, family, friends and put him away into the back of your mind! Amazing things will happen then!! just wait n see... It's difficult, it's not easy. The pain is real! But use that to motivate yourself to stop feeling that way, and to find the person you were before u even met him!

    I'm simply writing this in hopes of some much needed advice, because I'm so confused right now. My girlfriend and I dated for 8 months and dumped me 2 weeks ago (I was completely blindsided by this). She initially told me she fell out of love, but then after going over everything in my head I realized it's because I took her for granted and didn't give enough of my time to her. I apologized for each individual mistake, and said I can fix it and asked for a second chance. I was told "no, I don't have those feeling for you anymore I'm sorry". She still wants to be friends but I cannot do that, I love her too much to be around as a buddy when she finds someone new. I accepted the break up and told her we can't be friends and went into NC. She reached out and I answered in a way where I didn't show emotion and I didn't ask for forgiveness or mention the relationship. Few days of talking on and off, and we met up about 3 times since the break up. Everytime we met up, she'd cry and said she missed me, and she'd kiss me (not in a friendly way, but in what seemed to be a very passionate kiss). I tried to avoid kissing but the chemistry is so strong it's imposible for me to reject a kiss. So basically I'm in a postition where when were together it seems like we're dating, but she says she isn't in love with me, so we're not. She also made a tinder immediately after our break up and I know she still has it as of today which is the last time I saw her. I haven't reached out once to her, she's done all the reaching, when we met up today it was her who asked me out, and like I said we kissed again today, except today seemed to be the most passionate kiss since. All of this said, she says she isn't in love with me, and she intermittently brought up little jabs about how I messed up the relationship while we met today. Basically all I want is some guidance to my situation. Because to me, deep down, she's in love with me and wants me back. However, she says the exact opposite. So her mouth says one thing and her body says something completely different. I just need some advice because I have no idea how to handle these mixed signals. Thanks, hope to be hearing from you.

    Nah I'm just a nobody. He is definitely not thinking of me 😞 I keep giving myself false hope that he'll come back but I'm completely positive that he won't want me back

    Im losing all hope for my case, we had a long distance relationship, i am no contact, it has been 3 weeks, but i still feel that im not ready to reach out, but i have seen a few videos about long distance (but we used to see each other, every 2 months), and it doesn't give me much hope, so i think i will just move on. It has been so painful

      Abril Garcia I was in a long distance relationship and she broke up with me before Christmas last year. I’ve begged for a week and stuff before finding these videos. What I’ve learned from Craig is to keep no contact and don’t reach out. Only reach out when they do but for the time being, best to just work on yourself. In your case tho, best to go through the sadness first and allow yourself to go through the process. Once you have some strength later, spend time to improve on yourself. I recommend Craig’s books or communication videos. I am really really sorry you are going through this and I completely understand what you are going through. The first week was hell being not able to sleep, eat or be motivated to do anything but plead. Now I’ve been in no contact for 3 months+. I hope you do hear from your ex and your situation improves. Stay strong and hang in there :)

    Hey coach can you make a video on how to handle a break up or how to get an e ex back if your ex girlfriend is an empath? I’m not even sure if no contact is the right way to go when it comes to empaths

    You guys have that good 90’s feel that is so rare when it comes to relationships. But I have to disagree with you, once disrespect is shoved into the picture. I. Don’t. Give. A. Sh**

    "REJECTION BREEDS OBSESSION", so that's why WE miss them MORE, because We have been rejected. It would be great if Margaret could find some research on that!

    My ex broke up with me after 4 years. She reached out to a friend a couple weeks after about some clothes that didn’t exist at my house. I told my friend to tell her they aren’t here but he forgot to tell her. Was that her reaching out or really just asking? Curious.
