    Get Him To Commit Before Sleeping Together (The Dating Vow)
    Have you ever heard the saying: Women are the gatekeepers of sex, and men are the gatekeepers of commitment?
    The "Dating VOW" Before Sleeping Together
    I ___________________ agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious in the next 3 to 6 months.
    I ___________________ agree to be monogamous sexual while we have regular sex together
    I ___________________ agree to not actively seek to meet/date others while we are in this dating process (include taking down dating profile)
    I ___________________ agree to speak up if this isn't working for me vs. pulling back, ghosting or disappearing
    I __________________ agree to invest regular time in this process of getting to know you which looks like this ______________
    90% of men will bail on this because thousands of women will have sex without any commitment/agreement whatsoever. If all women are banned together (going forward), this will change how men treat/view sex, but in the meantime, if he does agree, you have a better chance of commitment than without it.

    A secure relationship helps heal insecure/anxious attachment. We learn to fear being abandoned from people who actually abandon us. We learn to be secure from people who give us security. Some relationships are damaging while others are healing. Part of healing ourselves involves weeding out people who are damaging as quickly as we can instead of entertaining them for too long.

      Karen Abbot, I am still on my healing journey, since last April. And it doesn't matter how old we are, we still have been through heartache. My guy is with someone else already, and still calls me! I am indifferent, I can't play his games, I'm 61 at the end of this month. I want serving so much better, I want a man who isn't afraid to show he cares, and I want so much more than he ever gave. This was his choice to find another, but I figure he isn't over me either, or he wouldn't still call. I'm just not into games, so now my next decision is to look out for myself and don't play his so I'm going to refuse to answer when he does call. No response, no more contact. I deserve better than that. I'm only sorry for the girl he's with now, she's got such a prize doesn't she? He spends more time on the phone with other women than he does her. I don't want that anymore. I'm always healing every day. I have to take care of me. We all do. Love ourselves to know our own worth. We are special!! Believe that, believe in you!!!

      I was ghosted after 1 year 3 months of excellent 24/7 constant friendship. First reaction was..ensure nothing bad happened to him. Then..this ghosting made me wait few weeks after ensuring he was safe then... i text... are you well? His answer of being superbusy did not give me a good vibe as he was fully engaged in communicating with me. So i did not initiate text. Then waited another 2 weeks... went to see him ..he did not show any kind of anything...i made quick visit... he was friendly ... but did not offer any comment on his full ghosting. So i stopped calling or visiting. I never asked him why but i created 3 opportunities that he talk if he wanted ...we meet 6 times after accidentally.. we say hello.. and smile and each go his way. Yes its cruel.. traumatic..confusing... but i bit the painful bullet and walked without showing anyone that it was hurtful ...now i am trying to work on not letting this horrible trauma change me in a bad way. Im trying also to recover as it still hurt because there was no reason for this bad action. After all... i would not like this to affect my future friendships and im trying to learn what this taught me ....but i guess i wouldnt be happy if i become sick like he was

    I was in my first relationship in over 5 years. It seemed like we had so much in common, but we only spent one day a week together and there was very little communication during the week. I would answer a text message from him that would go unanswered. He would call once a week to make plans for our weekend time together.
    After awhile I just got tired of the lack of real connection and not really talking about anything deep. I broke it off finally because he didn’t even communicate that he was going away on vacation.
    It was over a month ago that I broke it off. Then I randomly received a phone call from him. I didn’t take the call because I just don’t e know the point or continuing on in a superficial relationship. We did have fun outings together, but it wasn’t a deep connection. To be honest I don’t even think we were exclusive. My gut told me there were other women in the picture.

    Sadly, so far I've had mostly boyfriends who were "non-commital". But, I did have a husband who wanted committment. Yet, he was a drunk who couldn't take care of his family(me/his wife and his two small sons), so I wound up getting divorced with two small sons and no support. My impressions of men were either the ones with money had huge egos and treated their women like nothing, or they were not reliable(either emotionally/spiritually or any other way). It seems also that women who are empathic, very giving/loving, etc. attract narcissists.

I have been married to a narcissist for over 30 years! I can’t afford that at this turn of events in my life right now. This is why I have to choose on purpose to guard my heart! Protect my peace, and to love with my mind, instead of my heart until I know that I am not repeating history over again! Prayer and patience is key!

    I agree that it’s not okay to ignore the person you’re with. But sometimes you need to detach from them if you’re not okay with the way they’re treating or stop making you feel secure in the relationship. I used to hold on so tightly to my boyfriends in the past even though they weren’t giving me what I needed. I was so afraid to lose them that I never took a step back and said I needed space. Now I’ve learned to communicate my needs and when he makes promises he doesn’t stick to, I need to step back and reevaluate. Doesn’t mean a breakup but it’s not a punishment either.

    Heart felt gratitude, Jonathon, for being so generous emotionally.
    It takes a real man to understand and express his true current feelings especially publicly. No one can get inside of another’s head and know their heart felt feelings unless a person is willing to communicate it verbally. And it can be emotionally exhausting.
    That is why most of us get our signals crossed and feel insecure. You help me understand me better. And you help me enjoy who I am and where I am in my life without the need of a man to confirm it. Everyone wants that special person to share their time and life with.
    But at this age - we need to understand ourselves- good and bad- in order to invite someone else in emotionally. Than you for being your true self in front of a camera for anyone to see and hear. You are so keen and likeable. I hope you have found your one and only- and she to you. Bc you definitely have found your calling career wise. Top knotch.. God bless

    “Laying the cards on the table” with a new person is great IF you are positive you’re dealing with a normal person. However, being so forthright from the beginning could spell disaster if you are dealing with a toxic individual-a narcissist for example. I told too much, too soon and the “hidden” narc in the charming person I saw in front of me suddenly became my dream guy…liking the same things as me, having the same goals in life, wanting the same things from a relationship-on and on it went. None of what he said about himself was true I later learned. Be careful of divulging too much too soon to the wrong person who could pretend you both are on the same path when they really have another agenda.

We all thought we knew everything even at age 40 but I’m getting nothing but vapid yapping, word salads, et al.

    This made a huge difference!!! I have really been working on myself since a divorce 3 years ago. I know my value and what I value in a relationship and I won’t settle. This relationship is one where I feel unconditional love. We discuss our triggers…you can tell we’ve been in therapy in our past. I am in a relationship with a high valued man and because of life, we’ve been going through a difficult time. He has a lot going on. My anxious attachment showed itself recently not in a way I’m proud of.
    I also understand through your personal examples our long distance relationship more. I feel secure in our relationship and I know he does. But I’ve wanted to talk more where he doesn’t feel like he needs to. Yet I don’t want it to feel forced. We both need to compromise on this and we will. But I now understand why there is such a difference when we are together and I feel a detach when we are apart. A lot more makes sense and I think I’ll share this with him.

No groveling or pandering to us, either. Just delving into human nature and reminding everyone that our trauma shapes our responses in relationships. I truly hate game-playing and power play. It’s all so confusing and draining. And I just prefer to have someone let me know if they have the emotional energy to show up for the day or if they need down time.

    ....watching from Nairobi, Kenya. Been watching actually for a while and it's true, managing own emotions is key. Am the kind that feels intensely where good or bad and can like blow up in need to express myself. But I realised in that state, I was in no position to articulate anything. Nowadays, when I feel very intense, I pull back until am emotionally sober. I keep things basic until I am standing 'on solid ground'. 🙂

    I was dating a dismissive avoidant person for almost a year (My therapist at the time was encouraging of this 🥴)... I am more secure attachment while, although prior to a lot of healling I was more anxious. My anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF.

  • @JamieLynnMorris
    @JamieLynnMorris Před 11 měsíci +2

    My attachment style at this stage of life (I'm 58) is Secure. I've gotten better at discerning more quickly and let the latest one know we weren't a match 3 days after our first meeting (we met up for church.) I do hope for a rest-of-life relationship someday, but am also very happy on my own. I've come to understand and appreciate why men have shyed away from very needy women. It is beyond draining when a man looks to you to provide everything he's neglected to build for himself. Crap happens to us all... gotta 'pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again!' You'll find it gets easier every single time. 😁

    Guy I’m dating told me he doesn’t want kids so I was fine since we are both over 40. But then he said he doesn’t want to ever be married bc he has too much to lose financially. I’ve been with serious millionaires. This raises a red flag 🚩 for me! I love ❤️ the guy we already been intimate, now just 😢😢😢💔💔💔💔😅 he says he is committed but idk 🤷‍♀️ I feel embarrassed 😳 and sad 😞 for myself being a go getter. I’ve just been focusing on financial stuff myself and learning to be non attached and it doesn’t make me happy.

    Thank you. That was valuable information from a male perspective with your background and expertise. Yes choosing a good person from the get go is key. It's hard when you come across someone with crazy chemistry, but may not be best for you. I love the book " Why Men Love Bitches" by Sherry Argov! Its my bible😅 her best advise is to have presence of mind, because without that, you'll make bad decisions and people will take advantage of you. Don't get tipsy on a first date. And make the man do all the work and chase you in the beginning. Need to read it again!

  • @kasijune88
    @kasijune88 Před 10 měsíci

    Hey Jonathan, thank you for the insight. What helped me with my anxious attachment style was hypnosis therapy. It has gotten so much better after only 3 sessions.( Usually it takes five (up to eight) sessions. I broke off because I didn't get along with the therapist very well.Wonder how much better it could get.) Anyway, I highly recommend it to you. In those sessions you create a safe space within you where you are loved unconditionally. Whenever you feel in need of love, comfort and security you can visit this place via meditation. It's so cool how you suddenly feel a peace of heart and mind.
    All the best for your healing journey. May you be blessed.

    Dear Jonathon,
    Prof/Dr. Sam Vaknin explains The Dead Mother: The Work of André Green.
    Mr. Green's concept and book discuss the living mother who can be or simply is emotionally dead and what that behaviour/personality type does to children.
    Perhaps that book and watching Prof/Dr. Sam Vaknin's CZcams videos on that topic, in particular, will add value to your own healing and understanding journey.
    Excellent balcony coaching rewatch.
    Thank you!
    Be blessed, my friend. 🧡🍁🇨🇦
