Strategic Contact VS No Contact Rule

- In this video, Coach Lee explains Strategic Contact versus No Contact and how using it is the smart way to use the No Contact Rule if you have children with your ex or separated spouse, work with your ex, go to school with them, or have to see them on a regular basis, it is likely that stopping all communication with them is not possible and ignoring them while having to be around them is not smart contact.
Coach Lee explains how you can still gain the attraction benefits of the no contact rule by being smart about contact with your spouse or ex. Intelligent communication is the way to go meaning that you interact with them in ways that build attraction rather that to further push then away and most people don’t understand attraction dynamics enough to be able to do that.
This video is especially important if you have children with your spouse or ex but know you need to use the no contact rule after a separation or breakup but want to be smart about its implementation in order to give yourself the best chance to reunite with them.
There are forms of contact that can build back your bond and they are most likely to come up in marriage relationships or unmarried couples who live together with children. If the one you love has officially broken up with you or, if you are married and your spouse as stated that they want a divorce or to separate, this video will supply a great deal of practical help for your situation.

No contact is a win win situation in every aspect... Immediately after the breakup, it gives you a sense of hope in order to keep your mind in place and make the grieving process easier, and when you eventually find out, if they would come back or not, you would have healed considerably by that time, to the point of questioning if you really want them back. So you don't care either way and you are happy with yourself. If they come back, then maybe appreciate it and give it a try how it plays out, if not you would be 101% assured that this person never really deserved that much to be in your life in the first place. Either way, you have already overcome that person, and also walked away with decency. Keep it together people!!
I must say coach Lee deserves to have Billions of subscribers.. I swear to God❤️
He's the only relationship/breakup coach on youtube who isn't taking advantage of people who are in a vulnerable emotional state and trying to get them to buy some bogus book or program. The emergency breakup kit is fantastic (I bought it) but the information he just gives away for FREE here on youtube is they type of stuff you'd have to pay other breakup coached hundreds to get.
@@christinewatson1989 He is amazing! I only wished he went back to consultation, when you can write to him with your own situation and questions!
Joshi Chauhan I totally agree
@@Marianna7117 Me too! I'd love to spend that stimulus check on a coaching call.
I see you and agree with you. He is doing truly the work of God!
If they don’t want to be in your life, just let them go. You deserve someone who actually cares enough to be in your life
Facts
that's how my stbx felt for 2 years. that's why he left. not because he gave up but because he didn't feel loved. I won't give up on him because I was just as lost as he was.
What if I messed up
@@lilianamarques8242 update?
Me & him, were just friends, (neighbours). He went no contact, February, last year. We had sporadic contact, through the last year. It was the cruel way he treated me after he went no contact. I got harassed, my cats were hosed, if they went in his yard & other harassment. He moved out, late last year. I have seen him driving around town with a young child in his car. I think the child is hers? I'm happy, single & childfree. I never wanted kids. I'm glad he left & moved on. I'm still ignoring him & I cut a friend out of my life, who still talked to my ex neighbour. I won't tolerate disloyalty from friends. No contact, works !!
Coach Lee, I followed your advice on no contact but took it to the next level. I hide in a doomsday bunker and went radio silent. Didn't go to work, didn't contact my parents, friends, not a soul... Next thing I know after a few days to a week. I'm getting messages and calls from pretty much anyone I ever knew asking if I'm ok and that they are worried about me. But I stayed strong and didn't respond. Next thing I know they got the whole damn town out looking for me, cops , search dog, the whole 9 yards. Anyway It was at this point that my ex gf contacted me. She started sending me delirious texts telling me how much she was worried about me fearing the worst. that she loved me, and that she wished we could be together again. Anyway long story short. I'm back with my ex after she thought she had lost for permanently. gave her a little taste of life without me. No contact really does work. Listen to this guy folks he knows what hes talking about.
You did the right thing in this situation. What that let you know is that she genuinely care about you. You put her to the test to see if she cared and she passed good for you sir.
LOL
Lmao😂 bro even the cops supported your no contact
LMAO!
@@zepperfox7669 😂😂😂
When you’re in the middle of a break up, all this advice goes in one ear and out the other.
It's like that bro after a while I'll just rewatch them and yeah it's like the first time listening.. but it gets better bro
Also look up Dating Guy, The Love Chat and Corey Wayne.. even Alpha Male Strategies
Look up hypergamy and it will make sense stay strong bro it's a Marathon not a Sprint
Work on yourself and it gets better! I know she may have left an imprint on you and seems irreplaceable but she is that's why there's so many out there for us..
I still compare other women to my ex and they can't she was amazing but atleast I had my turn with her it's hard sometimes but I get through
Oh an meditation helps alot bro!
@@ATXMEX78 you just named every fuckin thing that I have been doing to stay stronger.
I have been watching these and even rewatching these for the past week to really engrain it in. It can happen, lol😂 becoming a better person is hard, but it's worth it! It really makes you feel like you have more dignity in yourself.
I disagree man. These vids keep me strong. I tried to reach her over and over but didn’t get anywhere. No contact is what I learned from these vids. They keep me strong, helped me to compose myself and pick up my self respect. I’m now working on myself and learning to be a better version of me so if she comes back then I’m stronger or if I meet someone else then I’ll be better having learned from my mistakes
Man thank you for the laugh! Seriously! I haven't laughed In days but I read your comment and literally laughed my ass off waiting to clock In at work. It's so simple but true!
I’m 6 months in NO contact & I still miss her . The pain has eased with time but I do have days when I feel like breaking nc, but then remind myself how far I’ve came .
Luciano Mercado have you heard anything from her? If not I would remain in no contact and began seeking someone else. Sometimes women will break up with you and give you no closure so why should you. If I were you I would forward with life and seek another woman.
vdubman Smith no I haven’t heard anything from her . I have been staying busy focusing on myself and my career , been dating other women the past couple months but it just doesn’t feel the same .
Lucinda Bunafield that’s a scam ! Don’t take advantage of people in a time like this!
@@ricasso777 you are doing the right thing for yourself by slowly moving forward with other women. Continue the no contact for little bit longer but if you dont start hearing from her it may be time to continue to move forward. It just depend on how bad the breakup was whether it ended on good or bad terms. Was you the cause or was it her having a change of heart. Either way just hope she reach out some day and if she does play it cool and have a regular conversation with her without bringing up the breakup.
vdubman Smith long story short she moved away from work , gave me false hope of a long distance relationship 1 month into her moving she slowly started to ghost me , texts and communication wasn’t the same and her excuse was she was too consumed with her new position & didn’t have time to balance work & a long distance relationship . But before she moved the last time we were face to face she was balling her eyes out . Which why at first I was confused by her behavior and demeanor soon as she moved . She went cold and distant
Coach Lee is so handsome and so smart!! You are the best relationship coach on here.

They send so many mixed signals... one day they’d treat you like you don’t exist, mean and that they’re sneaky. Trying to hide their “rebound”. Then the next they’d ask you to have lunch. Although she treats me like I don’t exist and rude I always have a smile on my face, super normal and polite. I’m doing everything you’re saying right before you posted this video. She’s also the first person to check my stories on social media. It’s really obvious that she’s faking her happiness.
If she's sending you mixed signals then its obvious she dont know what she wants. That's a waste of your time and energy so why give her a good vibe and she's being fake with you. What you could do is go no contact and dont post anything about your relationship with her on social media. Just back off and let her come to you. If her attitude towards you dont change then you need to dismiss her from your life and move on.
Thank you for your help coach, its really comforting and reassuring to listen to you, please post more often especially in these depressing quarantine times !!!
Hi Coach Lee,
I just wanted to say that I've been binge watching all of your videos, you deserve a Netflix Special for the amount of quality you've provided in these videos. I was watching other coaches on CZcams, getting advice from people who were telling me all the wrong things, I wished I had found your videos sooner, it would've saved me a lot of heartache. As soon as I can, I will be purchasing your emergency kits, even though I'm not married or currently in a relationship, I really just want the value of knowing what to do in these situations moving forward.
Thank you Christian!
Coach Lee has the best channel.
Thank you, coach Lee, that was fantastic and very helpful.
Thank you coach Lee, this is just what I need to hear....your advice brings me lots of comfort.
I will say coach you helped me in understanding how to properly communicate and to not do vulnerable things anymore I more happier with no having my ex and feel it as a blessing that I’m able to be myself again
Great sound advice Coach Lee...thank you...you rock!!!
Hello King Coach Lee, I was looking today for another video and you’re here. Thank you. Love your hair and the blue looks good on you. No disrespect. Thank you , total relief watching your video driving home again from hospital. Stay safe 🥰
Andrea Buma have one already King Coach Lee
You kno what you are talking bout 100 percent..you really do..I only listen to you cuz you do not cut corners..ALL FACTS..PLZ LISTEN TO HIM EVERYONE
NoContact for life 💪🏼🙌🏼.
Right! If you're not feeling it, time to move on. Let her be
Richard L Yes sir! Life goes on life is short
@@richardl4116 No contact will last until they reach out, sir. It's not our work. I hope you understand this.
😅😅
I sometimes see my ex at work as we like working at the same place. He can't even look at and I've backed off. He sits there so quiet and I carry on and have a laugh with everyone in front of him. I hope all this works
My ex wife and I exchange our son, and our texts are generally pragmatic. When I do talk to her in person, she's anxious, dumps her fears on me, and is borderline in tears almost every time. There's a lot of confusion for both of us at this point. No contact is good simply because it prevents outbursts in anger.
Keep it short with her and dont let her know anything about who you may be currently seeing. Your conversations with her should be strictly about your son and nothing else. Good luck to you sir.
Bpd or bipolar possibly there
Its hard when she’s my boss, I still have to see her at work everyday. I haven’t finish my project so I cannot quit for now. I dont think no contact will work unless I totally disappear. Stuck here, guys. Seeing her everyday it hurts me so much.
I also work with my ex and it's so painful seeing him all the time looking happy without me and I'm dying on the inside 😞
Make a video on first love and first breakup..
Cause many of your viewers are facing first love/breakup...
This would be very helpful to alot of people
Coach lees advice got my ex to contact me. I was in an LDR and thought maybe this wouldn’t work but it has! Thank you coach lee
Really? I was in LDR almost 7 years.was dumped on 8th march ..since then i am in NC... still feel super heart broken...how that works, let me know.
Tell us how!
Jelena Vecic when he first told me he didn’t want to be with me I pleaded. That afternoon I accepted it and went straight to NC. IT WAS HARD. first month felt like and eternity the second month was hard but I had to really tell myself either NC to get him back or move on. I was literally moving on when I got a text from him. Asking how I was during this pandemic. I was nice but followed coach lees advice in not being the one to carry the conversation so it kinda died out. Then a week later he asked to call me I said ok and he apologized for everything I said thank you and that’s it. At this point I said to myself he needs to be the pursuer so I never initiated to text him. I thought well I blew my chances but I don’t want to feed into his ego and make him feel like I’m the chaser. Next think you know he’s constantly texting me, yesterday we spoke on the phone and he’s flying out here in two weeks. We aren’t officially back together but I feel like all of e advice coach lee gives is honest and it actually works. I watched many of his videos multiple times to get through. Stay strong work on yourself and know your value. Wishing you the best! 🤍
Karen Reyes beautiful ♥️ im glad it worked out for you
Ace Lyp I was devastated when my ex broke up with me. I pleaded for him to stay but he was sticking to his “no”. I went into NC right off the bat. Watched all of coach lees videos to get me through the first month. This pandemic is also making it THAT much harder. I wanted to reach out multiple times but as coach lee says we can’t be the ones to pursue. So I held my ground. Just when I was feeling like I was moving on he reached out. One text here another there, I’d respond but never carried the conversation. Our talks have been small. Last night he called and we spoke for 2 hrs. In coach lees video on LDRs he states that the big gesture has to be done face to face, can’t be something done over the phone. In our conversation last night he asked if he could come visit and see me. I agreed. I have a lot to clear and get straight but his action of coming to see me speaks volume. I can’t say we are going to be back together but I now know that I have the advantage.
Hi coach lee.. I've been watching almost..i mean almost all of your videos now because I've been dump last month and now applying almost all of your NC and strategic rules and hoping it will work..btw i watch one of your videos that im doing wrong that when she dump me i keep on messaging her and she doesn't seen any of my messages and i realized that like you've said before that I'll give her time 1-3weeks..so, now ill applying the NC rule just today I'm making this message on you..and hoping for a bright future for me and for my wife🙏🏻..ill continue watching all your videos this is now my only sympathy because i dont want any of my family and friends get involved with this ill make it on my own way with the help of your videos.. God bless you more coach and more power🙏🏻😊
Great content thank you.
We still share the same apartment due to financial constraints on my part. It has been 7 months already and we have been through a lot of stages- from talking regularly and every day, sharing the same table on meals and etc. Currently, I'm using no contact as I can, because dealing with him every day and still sharing so much was hurting me and preventing me to move on. But I'm trying to dont act angry and being casual when we need to talk - but this is recent and these videos are helping me on that. I dont know if I want him anymore because I'm too much hurt for what he did and what I've been through, so this 'almost no contact' is to focus on me on the first place. Now, when me meet and talk there is a huge energy that surrounds us. It is almost impossible to talk to him as a casual and regular talk because of this energy on both sides. We still feel too much but I dont know what is up with him, I just try to focus on myself. I want to move out from here so I can practice the real no contact and then deal with whatever it will become of this. It is a win win situation and that is how I try to think.
This video showed up right when I was wondering if total no contact is too much- after all, every relationship is different.
Heartbroken what’s your relationship and situation?
Depend on whether there are kids or property involved. If not then no contact is the best option especially if the person broke it off with you.
Hope she/he doesnt know your youtube channel name 🙈🙊
thank you coach Lee... you're the best❤❤❤
yay 1st comment and like
Thankyou for sending me to this video greatly appreciate this
I just need to get business done. He's completely silent. He's alive, posting, not blocking, just ignoring everything as polite and business oriented the messages are.
Loved the video. First off, what should I say/do if I have an outing planned with my kids and they ask if mom can join us? Secondly, should I discourage the kids to refrain from trying to include me in their outings? Ideally, I would want my time to be with me only and her time with her only. We have agreed for family outings together once a month. Maybe twice depending on what's going on in the world.
So I just got out of a video call with my ex. We hadn't spoken for at least 3 weeks, but I sent her her copy of a magazine which came in the post along with a book she had left here. When she received it she asked if she could video call me. We had a fun conversation just chatting about coping with the quarantine and how everything's going, I was a bit cheeky with her throughout and at some point I just stopped her and said "btw, can I just say you look gorgeous today", which she appreciated.
She did say that she thinks the breakup was the best thing that could have happened at this time, because since we are physically separated by the quarantine we couldn't even meet up if either of us wanted to or see each other randomly in the streets, and therefore we both got time to just get on as individuals. I said I agreed of course, but just changed the subject as I wanted to avoid talking about any relationship issues.
I then said let's just leave it there, and it was nice to talk to her and let's do it again some time! She said yes and we said our goodbyes. Though just now after hanging up she sent a couple more texts just asking about my family and how they're doing, but it seems like maybe she is opening up the channel for communication.
I just thought I wanted to share, since I don't have many people around me who actually give constructive, unbiased opinions haha
Any thoughts on how to go from here?
Give it some time i would go in strategic contact with her. The good thing is you guys are talking and texting at times but it seems like she don't want nothing serious at this time. So what you could do is go no contact for a while just to see if she will check up on you from time to time. If she dont want a relationship with you after a while and that's what you want then you may have to move on to someone else. The best thing at this time is to give her the breakup and dont force a relationship on her until she brings it up. If she dont want a long term relationship and you do and she's not talking about going to the step then you need to fall back and let her really miss you.
Coach Lee has great character
It's been 7 months since my wife announced we had to separate, 2 months later I was told she was involved with someone and 6 weeks ago she finally moved out to her own place. I am in limited contact due to us having 2 children. But she seems as cold as ever. In process of taking her off the mortgage and I recently fitted new locks. She was not happy at all and messaged "what's the rush" to change the locks.
thanks coach lee, i'm feeling better everytime i watch your video, i'm still in the NC rn, it's been 2 weeks of NC, she has reached me out a couple of times and asked me how i was doing, she also told me to move on but i responded to her politely and simply. I hope i'll get her back soon.
Dont respond to her anymore based on what she said. Stay in no contact no phone calls or text. Let her have the break up and just move forward with your life.
Did u ever get her back?
Coach Lee, I really would appreciate your advice on my situation.....
Coach Lee do you have any videos to get EX back with different attachments styles ? if not can you make some eg Dismissive Avoident
Thanks
Hi Coach Lee,
I was about 110 days into no contact until some of his insurance paperwork and insurance bill were delivered to my address. I guess he forgot to update his address with the insurance company to his current address. I thought the right thing to do would be to let him know about it, so I broke NC. I left the paperwork outside and he came by to pick it up. We didn’t see each other or talk and kept it strictly about that during our text exchange. Did I mess up my chances by breaking NC?
Hello coach Lee 🤗 thanks for your help a lot! Could you please make more videos about married but about to seperation couples. I wonder why people live still together and still broken up. Also what to mention or not mention in a couple therapy, if it is the case. Im feeling nervous because i dont trust in couple therapies much, we are complicated! It can cut the interaction at all. But how will i react to a person who wants to leave me but stay after 3 months of break up. Am i helping to get them be better and move on? Or helping to get them be closer? I cant get the subtle changes in our behaviours like we both are being more and more friendly lately. Please, more video for on the edged people. ☺️ greetings and thanks again.
Hey, Coach Lee. Do you think you could make a video covering what to do if you broke up just before the stay at home orders were started, and how we can keep our exes from getting over us during this time? I literally can’t see her to remind her of the good times or the guy she fell in love with. I feel the fact I have just been a name on a phone for two months is not helping in my favor.
I think it’s worth noting that the topic would not be about whether or not it’s okay to contact them during the corona virus, as you already made a video for that, but rather what to do to keep them from moving on during this time.
He left me because his mental health is bad and that he has no interest in a relationship with anyone atm, which I partly think is also because of his mental health. He told me I didn't do anything wrong and that he really enjoyed the 2 months he was with me. We're both 16, so it's not like this relationship could have become anything serious like marriage or kids. I slightly hope things could bloom again in adulthood where we're both more mature and he's ready for commitment and has a better mental health
Thanks Coach !
Hey Coach Lee, appreciate your videos man. They have helped me recover from a fallen relationship 2 years ago. I have used your tactics to move on to a new relationship. We started dating in January and built up amazing momentum. I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend, but then quarantine happened and I haven't seen her in person since. I know she is really really into me, but the connection has faded since quarantine. Most likely because she is a nurse in an epicenter and overwhelmed with the tragedy. We have texted here and there but nothing of substance. I have a note drafted out stating my intentions to pick up the momentum when this is said and done. This feels different since we never started a formal relationship. What would you do?
Again, much appreciate the videos and advice
Aaron Jones in your situation I would try strategic contact. She could be very much overwhelmed with the covid situation or maybe she had a death in her family. I would text her one time and wait for a response. If she responds then that's good let the coversation flow naturally. If she dont respond after you have reached out a few times then I would go to no contact. Dont give up if she care anything about you she will respond at some point just be patient and dont force it let her call you.
@aaron jones My ex and I started dating in January as well. We live in the same neighborhood so we never stopped seeing each other during quarantine. If she doesn’t live too far away it’s worth a shot to start trying to see her again. Especially since things are slowly opening back up. I know you wrote this a month ago, but a month in a pandemic changes more rapidly than usual. Good luck!!
Hi sir good day. Love what u are doing thank u and may I khow how can I contact u sir? I would love to hear some advices from u.
Damn I been out right ignoring her for a week and we live together.
Hi Coach Lee me and my husband are still living together he gives mixed signals there are times he laughs and jokes around with me but times he’s distant and we never go out what do you suggest
Is this a linear process? My ex contacted me on her birthday a month after break up and then again a week later about something else. I was sick on her BD(covid) then when she contacted me the next weekend, I was still not ready to talk. So followup on linear vs non linear.TY. Great advise and Videos.
I have a question to ask is there any exceptions for the no contact rule, like when you are In a no contact rule can you break it by wishing them a happy birthday and after that still continue with the no contact rules or where
doing business before the break up happened do I have to continue the no contact rules or I do it apply in terms of doing business together.
@Coach Lee
Shall I wish her Happy Birthday even though she is the mother of my child and we meet regularly? Thank you! Highly appreciate your reply! All the best
I can contact my two adult stepkids myself, so I’m not concerned about that. But my oldest cat lives with my ex-partner (her choice because she hates my other cats, LOL), and she’s an old girl. I miss her and don’t want to give up seeing her, plus my dog loves visiting his “daddy”. I haven’t contacted my ex since he dumped me about a half a month ago. Should I contact him to arrange “visitation” for the pets?
I’m on close to the 3 month mark of no contact. However my ex is a nurse in the hospital on the covid unit. I saw her on bumble a month ago. I don’t think she’s dating because she’s taking the virus very seriously. Does this make this time count less because she’s not dating
and focused on work? It’s a super confusing situation:( . I’m laid off aswell so nothing but time to go stir crazy.
Coach Lee,
So my wife and I are separated, per her request. It’s very fresh. Been on NC for 4 days now. But the complications of my situation are, the kids are not mine. She doesn’t allow me to see them. Even when I ask. Then on top of that, she has recently said that I do not care for the well being of her or her kids, because I haven’t sent money to help her. She states that I only would help her if she lives under my roof. And that I am controlling. I don’t know what do. Do I send money? Do I continue with the NC?
We have kids so I use strategic contact but what do u do when she starts texting or talking about random stuff that isn’t necessary? I know u don’t ignore them but I want as little contact as possible so she might miss me.
Does Couch Lee have an email? I have bought the kit, but I need to know if I can break NC due to my situation. I’ve read all the articles, but I need his advice
What if you're married and you're children are homeschooled, spouse breaks up with you but can't leave to separate or get the space you need cuz you have to be there for the homeschooling part? And spouse has deserted you at home while they only come home right before you have to work...how do you deal with something like that? This is so painful. @coachlee
I don't work with or was married to my ex, however we have to see each other regularly. I work in a place that he frequents on a regular basis. He is there pretty much everyday. I do not work there everyday so I do not go unless I am working or that is what I try to do. We do have many!! mutual friends that also frequent this establishment. I am trying to use the no contact rule but because of this situation, totally disappearing is not practical. Any advice would be appreciated.
@Coach Lee
Thank you for your videos and replying to me Coach Lee.
I wish I had found you sooner as after watching your videos I now realise I have caused alot of damage.
Is there any other way of contacting you so I can make plans for a private session, I do not have FB or IG.
Wishing you all the best
Thanks again
My ex and I do not have children together, but I have a son and he does too and we like each other's kid. So, today was his son birthday and I sent a gift via Sedex and an email to my ex with the tracking number just saying it was from me to "D"s birthday and should arrive soon. One line short, polite and not personal. Did mentioned us or our breakup or anything. Signed with my bussiness signature with full name.
Are you going to make calls again? I see that it is no longer available for now. I have already bought the breakup guide but I have some questions still
Maybe you can comment your questions here? So we can maybe help or give some insight?
Hello, coach Lee i have watched all your videos and am in 8 months of No-Contact. Apparently he has a girlfriend, but he asked how i was doing and if i was dating anyone through a mutual friend. What could this possibly mean.
Kristen, it sounds like his REBOUND didn't work and now he wants you again. They ALL do that. If you take him back, he WILL CHEAT AGAIN. You don't need him. Let him go. Good luck, honey..⚘️
I followed ur advice. We have been thru a variety of the stages. Been 10 months. He is drinking alot. And started being very disrespectful. So I stip taking calks. So now he calls every couple of weeks just to see how I am doing. I never call him am I handling this correctly. He says his is not drinking now. With contact being few and far between it makes me think its not going to happen.
@Coachlee, are you available for calls?
I really need to speak to you coach lee!
Andrea Buma I love you thank you !
Hi Coach Lee! What if my ex is the one avoiding me even eye contact at work? Thanks!
It's all about mirroring. Don't give any more than you get.
Hello coach, i just had a quick question i hoped
you could answer. Im currently doing no contact with my ex and i did it for 7
days but yesterday i had an urgent question i really needed answered and she is
the only one i could get it from since the nature of my question is her actual
profession. Anyways i sent her a text and she responded almost instantly, after
which she asked me how i'm doing. I kept it short and laid back and told her
everything was okay, and that we could talk in person. She said she does not
mind that but that it is still too early for her to meet. Is this a good thing?
I responded with a *if you ever wanna talk about anything don't be scared to
talk to me, i won't bite. Good night.* and left it at that, later she posted
sad posts on social media. Was my response in any way bad? I wouldn't break no
contact and will not but i really had to ask that question for something
work-related. Thank you for your awesome videos and support you give me
strength in those cold lonely nights :)!!! Keep up the awesome work!I
No. You shouldn't have. This is the case of you lying with yourself. There is no such thing that you can get only from your ex. And if it is, it's not your business.
It's just you making excuses for contacting them.
But that's past now. Try to go offline or at least mute them on all the social media.
Don't post anything. Be a mystery.
And don't contact her again. Never.
Take care ! Stay strong !
Everything is going to be alright.
Hey coach and fellow subs! My ex broke up with me in anger on the phone. I said ok bye and hung up. Should I send a text that says I don’t agree but respect his decision? Or say nothing?
i am in nc in a ldr since 2 months, she texted me alot of times in between but i always kept my interests level below hers. She also told me she misses me alot of times and that she still loves be but always moves out of the idea of us together. We have an instagram page together where we post our life sometimes but she posts some trying to talk to me. Should i do a complete NC and not reply or post in the page too? or now that she texted me multiple times i approach it differently? Thanks
My ex came back after 4 months, I sent him pictures of my workout progress. Like a week after that he contacted me and wanted me to come pick him up and we hung out.
I always wear a hat and while I was driving with him in the passenger seat. He took my hat off my head and I said give me my hat back all playfully. He laughed and said you said that on the first day we met.
The time we had was fun, snd he wants to hangout again soon. We were together for 2 years and we lived together.
Just be patient, work on yourself. I followed all of Coach Lee's videos, he was scared to reach out to me because he gained alittle weight.
He left again, he said he was stressed and didn't want to talk for awhile. I'm really not caring at this point. So much energy wasted.
LoKiiiEditz I’m sorry girl ☹️
i already made no contact with my wife because after the breakup she sent me not to contact her in work or talk with her in work ( as we work in the same place but it a large institution so we meet accurately in work and i didn't make strategic contact because she asked me not to contact her and i was upset and now we are almost 9 month separated but no divorce yet of course all what she says she wants divorce because i did not try to fix things with her when she dumped me so how could i make strategic contact for example like greeting her or saying hi or good morning after all this time with no contact?
Strategic contact will backfire if your partner has borderline personality disorder, emotional issues and is a narcissist. Tried strategic contact and she turned nasty and then snuck in my house and took all of my daughter's stuff that we were supposed to be sorting through together and dividing up fairly as we were supposed to still be on good terms, now it's turned ugly because I expressed my disappointment in her for what she did
I feel for you man hope my wife doesn't turn out to be nasty
Simply awesome
My ex contacted me yesterday after 43 days of NC. He was asking how I've been during quarantine and asked lots of questions about my job etc. We spoke for over an hour but I was not acting too keen and let him carry the conversation. He ended the conversation by saying he's going to bed and if I ever need anything to please message him and don't be afraid to talk to him. I don't know where to go from here I know I need to go back into NC but do you think he will reach out again?
You should possibly have ended conversation first. Let him chase you.
Don’t initiate anything
I wonder if coach Lee and coach Corey are drinking buddies?
Are small signs of affection allowed during strategic contact? For example a hug? Is it advisable to initiate hugs? What if the ex initiates it?
Coach Lee, I went online and ordered your emergency break up kit. After I completed I went to book a call with you and it gave me NO options. can you please help with this. Thank you!
Maybe I might have to. Just sucks because I already paid for the breakup advice he was offering on the site. Just wish it was a real way to speak to them. Maybe I Should’ve saved my money 😕 and just watched the free videos
Hey guys. Obviously the situation in itself is a lot bigger. However, I’m in day 34 of no contact. My ex girlfriend lived with us and moved out to go back home 7 hours away. I found out today my mum reached out 10 days ago to say she hopes she’s well and I’m well and she got blocked. Do I have to reset because of my mum or?
Tricky situation here. You probably need to tell your mum or any family member not to contact her. Just continue no contact. Don't reset. It's probably gonna set you back but you need to continue what you are doing and focus on yourself. Treat it like she's never coming back.
Coach, about a month ago my ex finally reached to me by text saying she wanted to meet, but one day later the quarantine began so I answered "I dont know, maybe after this quarantine is finished" and never talked again, I thought this would end sooner, but the quarantine is taking longer here in Argentina, should I text her to see how she is going? or maybe wait until this is over to talk and meet in person right away? Thanks!
You can try reaching out to her since she reached out to you and take it from there.
Don't. She also knows about quarantine. Let her chase you. You are the prize.
What if you’re married, you’re separated but you have pets, no children together , is there a way to make contact , or should I keep the three month rule ?.
I'm on the 4th month of no contact, I feel better but hell I think of her every day and hurts a lot sometimes, she dumped and after that, I deleted her from all social media I couldn't take it, but now I'm thinking of adding on Instagram or Facebook but not contact he, should I do it? I really want her back but I afraid of rejection.
Hello! I dont know if im going to get any answers from you but i Will try anyway! My ex left me and our 3 small children about a month ago, i of course want him back. In the beginning i did some misstakes as begging but went into no contact. Anyway he has contacted me a few times asking what car i want and so on. I now Have to move as i can’t stay in the house we rented. I have gotten a new place but its over an hour away. Should i try to stay in the old town or move? Him seeing the children won’t be a problem wheter i move or not. He wrote a text today saying ”i dont think you should move as they will be figthing with you”. ”They” is my mother and sister. Im now very confused as to what i should do. There is no apartments available in the town We live in or nearby. I of course would like to Ask him if there is any chance that We Will be getting back Together but im in no contact so i guess that is a no go. What should i do? Sorry for vad grammar and so, i live in sweden.
I had been in a “situationship” with a man at work. He sat right behind me. Fortunately, his manager moved him to the other building.
He still comes by to talk to the lady that sits next to me. He ignores me. I did see him in the break room and said hello. The next day he ignored me again.
It has been 8 months now , my wife applied for a divorce already, and we have a baby together, do you think doing strategic contact will still help me ? Thank you for all your videos.
I’ve made some major mistakes up to this point. I hope I can turn this around.
Yea. Me too. I’m wondering how it all works now. 😔🤔
I really need some advise..
So after the whole no contact phase my ex reached out and after some weeks we went for a walk. I flirted and was playfull and our bond was very good and we laughed a lot, felt like good old times.
But.. What comes next? What can I do right now to get her back? I don't want to come over as a needy person, I am to far to fail now.. I worked so hard to get her back.
Someone please tell me what to do now?
Thx for reading.
The good thing is that you guys are vibing and getting along which is great. I would do strategic contact with her and dont force a relationship on her just yet. Let her keep chasing you and take it slow she will respect you more if dont force something she dont want. Let her give you the green light and then you take the opportunity to cash in on her offer. I know you anxious and you been in no contact for a while. Dont blow it by making her reminisce what caused the break up. Take your time and let her get to know you all over again. Whatever you are doing now to keep the spark do that when you with her and dont ever let her see you sad. Act casual relax and enjoy her company when you have a chance to talk to her. Remember dont force your love let it happen naturally.
Hi Coach Lee , I'm in high school and my girlfriend broke up with me about a week or two into quarantine . Since alot of us in the world are in isolation and have an idea of what each other are doing , will no contact work for me? Today I have been in NC for 22 days
Let her have the breakup and stay in no contact. If she care anything about you let her call you first.
Coach Lee
Its day 28 NC - this morning my ex contacted me for the second time in regards to belongings at our house, we lived together 8yrs. This is the 4th time in total he has reached out since NC. First 2 times was how are you? and sorry.
He wants to come and get some more stuff on Sunday, he was very casual, mentioned how hes grateful I'm the first ex to not go to war with him, and he hopes im getting out and about and we can stay friends...wtf. I acted accordingly and the convo ended..I feel broken for the fourth time. This is so hard.
I have kids but contact them directly cutting the ex out of the loop completely. She knows I talk to them and arrange meets with them. They are 10 and 12. They both have phones. I want my ex back badly and I love her. Married 23 years and I miss her daily, we have been apart 10 weeks today and it was my grandsons first birthday. I went to see him at my daughters and then the ex took my 2 youngest and my eldest to see him and that hurt. I wanted to build memories and I feel left out. I still don't talk to the ex because I was hoping nc would work
I'm in the same position as you my friend to a degree,my step son has just had his first child and iv not seen her because of this virus..my ex ended it 5 weeks ago and damn it's hard.. her feelings are shut off from me...I cant even see my kids atm,very tough indeed brother
Coach please what is the best thing to do when you accidentally meet ex at the marketplace.There was not actual break up.She always wanted me to call or to make a move at her.I stopped all calls and text.Never head from her for 3months now.I don't know how to behave when I should meet them some place. Should I be cold or friendly?
You can speak to her but act casual. I wouldn't make no big deal over it because you never got serious with her.
Hey Coach Lee, what about sharing a dog together with ex? We been together for 4 and half years … She broke up with me about a month ago, and I did no contact for 3 week. The relationship was pretty toxic. But I stuck by her side and never gave up on us. All she does is drink with her friends and gets disrespectful with me. Oneday, she broke up with me of something she caused. I started becoming all needy and begged her to stay. I even guilt trip her. Now seeing thing more clear, I should have never reacted that way. After no contact, she sent me a song and said she missed me. We started seeing each other here and there. She told me, she was talking to this guy right after we broke up … she claiming nothing happened and that they are just texting. That kinda broke me, because I’ve been miserable the entire time… I just focus on myself. Hitting the gym most of my time but still really hurt. We started talking regular because we share a dog that I got for her. We even sleept together few times. I asked her if we can get back together, but she said she’s wants to take it slow… and gives me the hot and cold treatment. I love her, I love our dog and I can’t not stop seeing him. She is overprotective of our dog and does not want to let me walk him alone or maybe she’s using that as an excuse, because I would walk him by myself in the past… I want to get back with her but I feel like she’s not feeling the breakup since I’m texting and I’m there. Any suggestions? Thanks
Update???
My husband took away my small indoor dog age 7 years old with him and I don’t know what my dog is doing since more than 4 months now. Thanks
Me ex contacted me after 46 days of no contact via soc med. i replied subtle and simple and she didnt reply. After 2 weeks she contact me again via soc med (private message) wishing me on special festive day. After back and forth 3-4 message, she disappeared and and contact me again after 5 days by commenting on my ig story. I replied and she reply back in 2 days, i decided not to reply her anymore. Why she doin this? Is she try to test the water, try to put me in friend zone or she just want to be nice?
Or she just missing me? I know going back to her ex.
Can the no contact rule works twice ? So the first time me ex says we couldnt be together, and that time we are not bf and gf yet, and then 2 monrhs later she contacted me, we are in a gf bf relationship but we had a lot of fights and shes tired of it do we broke up, but she still loves me, she also said we cant be together for now but se cant answer if we try again in the future. Pls help
Hello, Coach Lee she broke up with me a week ago, it was pretty serious. We were talking about kids, marriage and life together. I chased & did beg then got in an argument later on. She blocked me everywhere. Went two days of no contact. I apologized for overreacting and acting selfish. She talked to me a bit through email. Now unblocked my number as well. I told her as you said I’ll miss you & wish you the best, she replied with it’s the past, all we can do now is grow as two individuals. I haven’t opened the text saw it in the notifications. & have started the no contact officially. Should I say something or say nothing.
What happened?
So I work with my ex and she left some stuff over at my house and has never asked about it even after I have mentioned she needs to come get it. I ended up actually giving the stuff back by leaving her stuff for her at work. Was this a wrong move I honestly dont know
Nothing wrong with what you did. You basically was letting her know if she's not going to be serious about you come get your belongings so I could move on to somebody that not willing to waste my time.
But how can they wonder what you are up to, when they know you are stuck at home during COVID Self-Isolation?
SonyMouse they only going to know what you tell them through a phone call text or social media. If the person is not communicating with you how you going to know what going on with them.
coach, what do i do when my ex sent me money during no contact from a business we had together during the relationship LOL is he moving on or feeling guilty?
if you had a business together she felt that is right to you give the money
I’m not an expert but I’d say he feels inclined to give you money as you both created that together and as a last thing he could do after things didn’t workout so well
I’ve been doing the no contact but since we do have a child together I definitely try to keep it strictly about our child. We’ve only been broken up a week and he mentioned us going to Hawaii to celebrate our birthdays. Idk how I feel about that. I moved out and he broke up with me but now what’s to go to Hawaii and celebrate our bdays-how do I respond to this @coachlee 🤷♀️ I’m so lost and confused
