    You don't need to proof yourself to anyone, you don't need to show the that you've moved on, you don't need to show them anything. Just be yourself, no matter what. You shared a chapter of your story together and whatever happened, it's all to make you stronger, to help you become a better person and just for that we can be grateful... ♡

      I feel and understand you , the hurt ,the pain , the betrayal ,a Ll of it , as i observe and feel these emotions , we gave them the purest of pure love , as we surremder the connection , toxic cycles hVe been broken ,for both , and now we see , the divine and the karmic , both needed to break the toxic cycle and awaken botu to ascension never to be the same again and to never forget them , the love they needed ,that love is real , at their end it doesnt exist , the seperation has shown both opposites to see each other , exposing the traits that are sadistic and insidious unkowingly both counterparts are unaware of it ,when we see them we our shadow of ourselves , i see me but trying to be me , Ego and The Not Self , 2 spirits , its an ascensión and much closer to the divine , both spirit must br married within in order for the dymanic to be divine to GOD ,unconditional love , for father ,father only

    Hi Craig
    Another awesome video
    👍🏻
    I’m overseas atm visiting family in Europe,as
    I’ve just been too London
    Last Friday morning I was having Breakfast minding my own business thinking abt what I was going to do for the day
    THe table I was sitting at had three vacant seats.
    I was getting myself some toast when this absolutely beautiful women sat at my table with her two sons.
    We got talking and shared our life’s and experiences
    She was born in Spain now lives in France
    I’m from Australia 🇦🇺
    We really hit it off so well
    Her personality charisma
    Is really nice
    We spent time together and had an awesome time
    We are making plans too see eachother again and we havnt stopped talking.
    The realisation that my LDR Ex is no longer a priority and she is now in the deep freeze !
    This new connection is so natural and genuine
    We both can’t believe what’s happened between us
    We have a great laugh about it
    I will certainly be taking everything on board and will continue my personal growth and watch your videos for as long as I can
    Thankyou so much Craig and Margaret
    You two are the best ✌🏻🙏🏻

    What up coach. Appreciate ur videos. U a big help. After 3 weeks no contact my ex wanted to meet up with me so she could return the grand gesture that I had given her. So instead ima get her a gift certificate to the same place. Cuz I wanted to do something for her to have a happy bday and a nice Xmas. But this was delivered to her bout 3 weeks ago. And she said she didn’t want it but she kept it till now. She tried returning it to the store to do an exchange and they didn’t let her. Anyway so she called me while I was at work. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. ? Any meet up after she said she would never talk to me again should b a good thing right ?

    omg thank you craig for this video!! I'm at that stage where I just got in contact with my "ex" (we have been seeing each other for a bit but never made it official) after 5 weeks of us breaking up. And we have been texting a little bit here and there. Can you PLEASE do a video on the initial contact with ex, through texts. What should you text, how much should you text, and how to lead it up to a "date" / casual meet up to show them that you have changed! If they don't text you back in a few days (2-3) does that mean that they are still interested? Even though their previous texts they asked you questions etc. seemed like they wanted to ask how you were doing. That would help SO MUCH!!! I've been binge watching your videos now for 2 weeks and it has helped so much already!!

Damn I found out she had been rebounding with somebody in the States, and now they are separated by distance! Im not saying its instant karma or what. Im glad that even though things didnt work out for a comeback, I had listened to Coach and worked on myself. Now im fitter, happier, and in a better place in my life.

    I literally sat down to order lunch today at a restaurant when a waitress put food on the table next to mine. The next thing I saw was my ex sitting down to eat. He was outside on the phone while waiting for his food. I dyed my hair blonde so he didn’t recognize me at first. We hugged, his hug was long and hard. We then spoke about our lives for an hour. We went our separate ways and he said, “maybe I will run in to you again sometime!” I thought about him all day afterwards.

    Hey Craig! I am unable to get your coaching session for financial situation. But i am in a situation where i am so much confused on how to handle it. My ex is my neighbour and he broke up with me few days back and i tried to avoid meeting him but we are so close that i end up seeing him every single day at some point. I did avoid him for couple of days coz i was angry amd hurt but now i just greet him back politely or just smile if he greets me whenever we cross paths. But i am just too hurt inside and smiling is hard. However i manage to do so. And i really really seek your advice or at least a video that would help me for my situation. Please! I am just hurting so much inside i cannot explain. But i do know you understand all very well.

    What do I do if she says she needed space, and agreed that I should completely let go and we'll see what happens? She has some stuff here that we also agreed she would come get, and she said she'll let me know when she can. She's off every bit of my social media, we just have each other's phone number. I still haven't heard from her on when she'll come get her stuff (and bring my key back) and am not sure what I should do or how to handle it. Do I act warm and welcoming and SHOW her that I still care? Or do I seem standoffish, cold, not talk much, and only talk about things if SHE brings it up?

    My ex reached out at a party we were both at. I asked if she wanted to get lunch. We caught up with each other’s lives and I talked about how I’ve learned a lot about about attachment styles and trauma. She wanted a hug and said we should hang out again. I told her to let me know. I think I waited a week or two and asked if she still wanted to hang out. I get the “Sorry, I’ve been busy. We can still hang out” excuse. I give her my schedule and suggest a time. Haven’t heard back for six months lol.

      Thing is if your ex broke up with you, then they're the ones to repair the damage they've done and get you back.
      You most likely showed neediness, which relieved her break-up anxiety and made it easier for her to move on.
      It happens when you do not value yourself enough.

    My wife left a 35 year marriage after getting into a 7 week affair. My question is, why should I have to be the one who has to pussy foot around her? In my opinion, she should be the one to eat humble pie. Yes, I made mistakes, so did she in equal measure. I forgave at the time, she didn't. When we broke up I started a journal and therapy and what has come out is that I don't want her back. She is too flawed and I don't think I can get over the fact that she gave herself to another man. I still want her to apologize for what she did to me. Instead of the lies and deception, she should have come clean at the beginning. She went cold on me after a week, so I already knew but she kept on denying it.

    I remember the day she reached out. We exchanged a couple of messages and then told her that Id like to see her and when was she free. She said yesss but now lived in another city.
    I was so happy to recieve a yes for an aswear so I kept it cool and told her when she comes we can hang out. It was just 2 hours away.
    She kept reaching out for the next couple of weeks. Always asking question always showing interest. She reached out on my bday.
    2 days after my bday she reached out again and as we were texting she mentions that she calls her now boyfriend a certain nickname. It just happens that I call my bestfriend the same and she said she just remembered that and wanted to know if I still call him the same.
    That was last year and all the feeling I had towards her faded almost instantly. I was angry at her.
    I had done at that point no contact to perfection. On the contrary she had been stalking me for 7 months. At the end it was her who confirmed my biggest fears. I hate her.

    My ex called me for my birthday after 3 months of no-contact, and we had our first meeting yesterday. It was fine, it wasn't awkward, I was proud of how I handled myself, I was relaxed and happy and didn't bring up the breakup or anything. He said I looked great and he hopes to see me again soon, but his attitude didn't seem at all flirty, so I'm wondering if maybe he was just looking for closure or wants to be friends? It's ok either way, but it was hard to tell what his intention was in meeting up.

      Being blocked is a kind suspension. It’s either because you’ve been so annoying they can’t hack it any more, or it’s to get you out of the way while they get it on with another person. Especially if you know something critically important about them which they would rather not be reminded of. Especially if they secretly love you but for whatever reason think they’ll be happier with someone else. It’s a horrible thought but it’s better to be blocked than exposed to it all. It shows you’re still important, unless you’ve been so completely foolish or abusive.....but yeah, when I’m blocked I might send a “hope you’re ok but I wont be sending anything else” type email at the start and then leave it. Good luck to her, I’m alright, I hope she is too.

The next week we returned to school, I was waiting for my friend to come pick me up after school. She comes up to me telling me I look nice(I had an job interview). Then later in a few weeks I noticed she was cold(I was already in no contact). Even here and there she'll hangout at places where I hangout at(in the school library). On march we went to a field trip, I noticed on the bus she sat a seat right behind me with her friend.

      Lori, I expect you know the answer to that one. Or one of the answers. Good relationships need openness and honesty. They need both of your needs to be met., so if you’re not being told everything and you feel you need to be told then you need to get to the bottom of why this important connection is being suspended before you commit again. It sounds like a narcissistic hoover and you have to be careful you’re not going to be cast aside again. Don’t allow yourself to be short changed. If you love someone you have to work on them to make them a better person if they’re not reaching the bare minimum of acceptable behaviour. Be strong and you’ll be alright.

      But she let me hold her hand but when I want to kiss her she only let me kiss her Goodnite unwillingly

      Next 2 day " Honey " Honey Honey
      When last Sunday came , I seek her clarity does that Honey and church together are we going as a couple?
      She replied me
      "I am not ready to get back the relationship
      I only want u to receive Jesus
      we go church together next Sunday
      Hopefully this month before your birthday u consider and listen to the sermon and decide u want to receive Jesus"
      I don't understand why Jesus got to do with my 4th Aug Birthday next month
      Does she mean she leaving me to God ?
      Or
      She want me to be Christian so that she is ready to be in relationship with me again on my Birthday?
      I am confuse
      Why did she text me "Honey, we meet on Sunday....." then now ...she text me this "she is not ready to get back the relationship "
      And why only want me to receive Jesus and she can go with me like church buddy ?
      I don't understand why the "Honey" and the "love always"
      Should i go this Sunday as her Church Buddy ?
      Or
      Dont go ?

Breakups are more transformative for the dumpee usually. I would suggest you tell her to just focus on the present and the future if she brings up the past again in conversation and change the subject. It kind of sounds like she is seeing you out of guilt and loneliness. You being too available and being her shoulder to cry on might not be a good idea. Try to do things that engage both of your minds so you both can be more present and just enjoy your time together instead of it just talking about serious stuff so much. She shouldnt be sad when you guys are together or thinking about her failures and its your job to flip that script.
