    Because of your channel, I got my ex back TWICE. Ultimately, I found I am the one who made a lot of changes and this person remains the same. Also thanks to your channel, I have done so much work. My level of security and growth transcended more than my desire to make this relationship work. At some point you have to ask, do you even want them back? These were my feelings third time around. Just be careful what you wish for, all. I found I had only been romanticizing good times and what I wished we could have been.

      Melissa I personally think you made a VERY GOOD POINT. We woman tend to romanticize many times in our relationship. We grew up watching Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast. I don't know about you but also like around the holiday season. Watching Hallmark movie's. It's always the perfect guy, looks great, takes her from skiing in the mountains to sandy beaches in the summer and strolling the beach at night with a glass of wine. Living happily ever after. Then I find myself looking at my guy saying "See we never do thing's like that." He jokingly said "I have an Idea we will both apply for The Bachelor & The Bachelorette." Then we will still find each other. Lol .. you made a lot of great points. I can relate for sure. Love this program. Thank you to all 3 coaches, and your input Melissa. JL

    I'm currently in a 'waiting phase' since I am dealing with an avoidant who is going through the "sadness deactivation" because of a lot of personal stuff going on.
    It's hard being cut off from someone you love dearly and seeing them (supposedly) not care.
    I've been told there are many fish in the sea and I shouldn't wait for someone like this. However, the heart wants what the heart wants and until the day comes they verbatim tell me to go (they're keeping the connection alive by not blocking me on anything but sending daily snapchat pictures of whatever) I'll try to hold on.
    Even if I would explore my options as Victoria says, which I appreciated a lot by the way (not thinking in either/or), it's not just the feeling of 'cheating' but I also cannot bring myself to use another person as a distraction. How fair is it to someone else to give them the idea you might be interested, while your heart is dead set on somebody else already?
    To me it feels like using people. Perhaps this is a wrong way to look at it, but if my heart belongs to someone -regardless if they're being difficult or avoidant- I cannot bring myself to feign interest in other people, regardless of how good or great a match they also are.
    Perhaps interesting to explore this as well?
    Thanks for all the videos, they've been a great help so far!

      Hello, you didn't say how long this have been going? I've been in same situation and life is too short to wait. You are wasting your own energy and time if you just keep waiting to thing which might never happen.
      It's little bit over a year when my ex left, i'm now in new relationship, been like half year. I heard once from my ex last summer, after that she vanished from the earth and i haven't heard anything from her.
      If you meet someone new you need to tell her how you feel and be honest about your situation, you need to start to live your life man, i know it's difficult. That's what i did, i've been working out this whole year and packed close to 10 kg muscle and doing great at work and found myself again and i'm happier than ever before in my life. With this new relationship i also noticed many things what was wrong with my old relationship. I'm completely new person today, my break up was worst thing in my life and also best thing what happened to me, make it matter and learn from it!

      I know exactly what you’re going through. I’ve been with my ex on and off for the past 6yrs. She’s avoidant as well. She’s not one that communicates very well so that makes it tough. It got to the point she was blaming me for the problems in the relationship. I love my ex so much and yes it’s very hard to move on. For me,I just want to see and hear from her. Hang in there. You’re definitely not alone. Good luck.

Don’t ignore ur pain u must grieve and from what I’ve found, use that as fuel in ur daily life. Whether they come back or not remember that ur gonna be ok u were ok before u met this person and u will be ok after. I never ever heard anything from my ex and I don’t expect to. At the end of the day focus on yourself and u will get thru this. They’ll never forget u cuz love was involved, they’re gonna think about u and they will think of if it’s the right decision but u’ll most likely never hear it. At the end of the anyone who’s left u wasn’t meant for u at least at this point in time. Stay strong brothers and sisters we’re all in this together

    you guys have no idea how much you helped an still helping me out with these videos. It's exactly how I feel now ... I'm still thinking about my ex but also going out and be open to other possibilities. The problem is always the comparison because you tend to look at their best version of themselves and you forgot the "dark side" which gave you so much pain. So when you go out and meet someone else, you start comparing the newcomers to you ex. Clearly not Fair since your ex has an advantage of years.
    Anyway Craig and Margaret .... you've got a killer new coach. Victoria shoot some bullets to the target that blew my mind. Good job Vicky. :)

    What a timely video. I was just thinking about this topic last night. A lot of the answers to the questions proposed there are "I don't knows". I think it goes without saying it will be a lot of hard work and the thought that they could leave and be so cruel at any point will linger. After 5 and a half years, it's hard to let go. I've been using the workbooks (almost on #3) and the things I've learned have been huge. I'm into the second month of self work and the flip flop of feelings as you guys said is true. I'm going to stay true to working on myself as it has already brought about new potential prospects- but the loyalty that Victoria mentions is still there. I'm going to give it time, I know she's attempting a rebound (through the ubiquitous third party always mentioned), and I'm not going to stick around as a backup plan for when that fails (shes sharing victim posts about heartbreak while chasing after him too, which feels very odd). It's got to the point where it almost feels like time is more on my side- and her window for reaching out is dwindling. I love her, but I deserve respect too. Thanks for another great video to think about.

Been leveling up personally in the gym and lost some weight. Even got a puppy that loves going on hikes with me. I'm a much happier person and am enjoying life more now. I hope whatever you're going through goes quick. There's no easy way about it. I know I was miserable for probably 3 months when it happened, it did beat me down to a very low point i wont lie. But listening to these videos, getting through day by day - it got better. Sometimes, just getting through the day is the accomplishment we need - no shame in that either. Best wishes to ya.

      To get an ex back and that an ex never even solely contacts you at least once are two differents things. Did she reach out to you?

    2 months ago, the girl of my dreams out of the blue just left. She did not like I was going to a wedding of two good friends where dancing would be there. The thought of me potentially dancing or even talking with other women drove her crazy. She admitted to me she was obsessive of me and couldn't handle me being around any other woman. She totally flipped. She needed time alone to process it. Well, I've worked so hard on me and am much happier. I thought how cold and unfeeling she was to me. She has serious anxiety and controlling issues and after my heart healed, I decided she isn't what I want. I started to date someone else who I already tested for those issues and it's been great. Work on yourself and just let go if they gave you red flags. I'm free of her and it only took less than 2 months! I have 0 contact with her, and I'll disconnect myself from her on Facebook and everything else soon I'm sure. I'm not going to tolerate a cold and cruel woman, I don't care how perfect we were for each other. She can get on her hands and knees and tell me how she changed if she wants, but I'm done with you woman!

    So much good content and wisdom! Do the work and you'll get there. I'm about 9 months in (3 months therapy before being put through a horrendous breakup, now at almost 6 months no contact), and if I hadn't done the work, the situation would have destroyed me. Instead, I let myself grieve, processed a lot of feelings, worked through the things I needed to, and had a lot of 'ah ha' moments and ups and downs emotionally. I've continued therapy that whole time, I've skyped with both Craig and Margaret, I've worked on myself, I've done the things they emphasize. It's tough, especially at first, and it does take time before the changes stick and become easier for you. But you get so much confidence going through that whole process, so much growth. I'm now at the point where I am starting to date again, in a much more secure place within myself, and with so much more insight into myself and others. I've rebuilt a whole new life and am loving it, regardless of anybody else, but I have so much to offer and I feel ready enough to be open to meeting someone again. But I'm not rushing, and I'm not stopping the work, and I'm open to my ex reaching out, I'm ok if she doesn't. I know my worth 🤷‍♂️.

    Was with my partner for over five years. She’s American, I’m Australian. She lived with me in Australia for about three years. Spent all of the pandemic here and during that time her father passed away and she was unable to return to the US to see her family. It was a terrible experience. She left for the US on Feb 6 and broke up with me about a week later. We had a healthy relationship with the usual stuff here or there, a mild argument, some slightly raised voices, etc. but the overwhelming majority of the relationship was beautiful and the best thing I’ve ever experienced. After the break up we were friendly for a week, maybe a week and a half, and then I sort of lost my emotional cool and I haven’t heard from her since. No contact. We haven’t spoken for about a month and a half. I deleted her number and removed her from social media. She has reached out to my sister on one occasion a few weeks ago to say “I hope your family is well.” The two of us were going to get married this year. I’m a little broken right now as I try and figure out how to live my life again.

People said the same thing to me and I didn't believe them, but it will happen for you too. The only thing you can do is evaluate yourself - are you the best possible version of yourself you possibly could be? Forget her and work towards that. If she changes her mind, she will come to you. There is nothing you can do, if you contact her (directly or indirectly) it will solidify her decision. Just focus on reaching your maximum human potential and have patience with yourself. You will get there.

    The thought of being with someone at this time is unpleasant.
    I have a lot of work to do.
    I wish that in this time I could stop missing her, but it's very difficult.
    I know logically that I just enjoyed finally having someone listen to and understand me (or at-least seem like they did).
    Ironically, the relationship dissolved due to communication issues and social-pressure.
    It's hard to find someone who loved having deep conversations as much as I do.

Let him know I loved him, he said he loved me. He said he did not want to work on the relationship because he feels we do not fit right. He previously said he loved me very much and wanted to fight for the relationship. He has b een married several times - He told his friend that he was afraid to be in a relationship since he just got divorced ( we were together 8 months - together almost daily ) and his friend said - her words - she didn't feel that he loved me as much as I loved him. wonder if it's worth waiting for....

      to clarify - We were not married - he just got a divorce from his previous wife. I sometimes wonder if I was just a rebound relationship to distract him from the pain of the divorce as she had left him. He did act very loving to me though. so confusing.

      @@kathyyoest4085 sorry this imbalance between how you see him and how he sees you has made you suffer. Only time will tell if he’s truly in love with you. If it isn’t him you will find someone who is more suitable and loves you just the way you are. I am in a break up situation too and am realising after something like 6 weeks of NC that although I have strong feelings for her, we probably aren’t compatible character and value wise. The problem is reconciling the mind with the heart.

I am ready to move on, sure I was hurt and wish her the best, but if she realizes my worth later on and/or figures herself out later down the line, maybe we can work things out. But I'm not going to wait for her to come back, I am ready for a relationship and I can grow with or without her. You snooze you lose!

    I’ve been blocked by my ex for a month now. Just before the weekend I wrote her a letter basically saying that I understood why she did what she did and I support her in her own journey through therapy and her need to have her own life away from me. She had a detachment issue and broke up with me over a misunderstanding. She was wrong but I couldn’t get her to understand that. She just got angry all at once and blocked me after a couple days. She had wanted space and I violated that by sending flowers. Back to the letter. I believe she received it Saturday. Via a friend I’m told she now seems all sad and has posted a lot of sad things on social media. I can’t see it as I’m blocked. In the letter I said I could only wait to hear from her just so much longer. I hope this is good news but honestly I know I’m still blocked. It’s hard to not be a little excited. But the reality of the situation is I’m still in the same place I was before I mailed the letter. Just wish I could figure out something. 5 weeks ago I couldn’t imagine my life being anything without her in it and then it suddenly ended over something I didn’t even do.
