    Clay Andrews reveals the uncomfortable truth about getting your ex back in this video.
    After helping people with breakups and getting back together for over a decade, there are a few surprising things that we have discovered about saving your relationship that a lot of people may not initially know.
    For starters, getting back together is probably going to take longer than you’d like.
    There are a lot of people out there that will promise you the world… that some obscure text message or reverse psychology hack will make your ex want you back in only a few days.
    However, that’s unrealistic.
    The truth is that getting back together will probably take at least a few months.
    The second thing is that getting back together is going to be difficult. Maybe one of the most difficult things you’ve ever done.
    There are going to be some intense emotional swings. And it’s important to know this ahead of time so that you can have a gut check with yourself to see if this is really something that you want to do or not.
    What have you learned about this whole process of getting back together on your journey? Please share your experiences below.

    This is so spot on. The highs and the lows of the journey are going to test a person. The growth that comes with genuine self analysis makes the whole thing seem like it was meant to be. The relationship to be gained on the other side of this is the relationship you've always wanted. A person will walk through fire and purify themselves if the love is real.

    This one was perfect clay. I’m going through a lot of what you just spoke about. I’ve been coming into our interactions with positive vibes and great energy because she is the woman I truly believe I’m suppose to be with and I honestly love her but like you said the ups and downs are killing me. We have 4 kids together and everything but when I find out or found out that she was still involved with her rebound relationship which ended terribly I start to feel really stupid for wearing my heart on my sleeve and fighting for our relationship. Most of the time it feels as if I’m the only one that wants this to work but at some point when I distance myself in order to heal my broken heart that’s when she comes back breadcrumbing me and I fall for it ever single time.

  • @fulgrimthephoenician5187
    @fulgrimthephoenician5187 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Right now I am only 12 days into my breakup and hopefully I can get her back. I know in my heart I truly love her and she does seem interested in seeing if I do actually improve and become better. Her exes never made an effort to realize their downfalls and try to be better so I think I have that going for me the fact I am dedicated to trying to fight for something instead of giving up like all who came before me. Least that's what I know of her long-term exes short term flings are whatever but the ones that lasted when they failed those guys just delved deeper into what made it fail or became so angry she gave up entirely. As far as I am aware I am the first to apologize and attempt to fix what went wrong. I dunno if it gives me any good chances I hope it does but it has to count for something I would think. In any case Clay you have been a great help your videos fill me with some sort of hope I can either get her back or at the very least be better prepared for whomever may come next. For now I think my best bet is just trying to get my own life together and getting to a place where if we do reconnect in the future I'm 100 times the man she once fell in love with it's all I can do right now.

  • @jonwatts7457
    @jonwatts7457 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Clay's definitely correct about this. My ex and I have come together and fallen apart a few times now. Currently apart, as she suddenly got married just weeks after she caught me at the end of a bad day, where my internal BS demons had a field day despite my efforts, and the interaction did not go well at all by any means. That aside, the past 2-3 years have been an emotional rollercoaster. The good news is that eventually you'll learn how to deal with those changes to some degree, once the shock wears off.

    Hi Clay! Thanks for making this I actually appreciate it. I think the time frame is surprising. My challenge is of course long distance so I think and thank you for giving an average time frame because I feel like it is going to take forever. I somewhat have some hope all though we are currently in little to no contact and wondering what to do next. I was wondering how to start contact again since he wants to start out as friends.

      @Kulture2k 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey I’m actually going through the same thing. We’re 2 hours apart which is still long distance and that’s the only way we’ve ever known each other. She told me we need foundation and need to start as friends first before we could take any further steps. For a couple of days I tried being closer and being friends but she read through that. She saw that I wasn’t ready for a friendship. She told me she doesn’t think I will be until I can understand the importance of being friends first. A week later I talked to her telling her I’m ready and she still felt I wasn’t. We kind of got into a disagreement a few days after. She was ignoring my text and I tried talking to her about it. She got fed up on me not understanding she wanted space and I went into damage control mode sending multiple text and asking to talk it out. Next day I sent an apology text and let her know I understand her feelings. I told her I’m sorry and I’ll do my best to be better. She didn’t want to talk so I told her when she’s ready I’ll be here for her. It’s been a month of ANC now. It sucks missing her but this time apart I think is what we really needed. To work on ourselves and to take a step back before we can really start fresh.

    @atirpok3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I've always been the one that's done the breaking up. I would never consider getting back with any of my exes, because all the breakups were well thought through. I've even remained close friends with one of them. I was recently dumped for the first time and realized how much it sucked and how badly I wanted her back, but I just don't think it's possible based on my own experience from the other side of this. I'm doing no contact, because it's the only way to stay sane enough to cope. I appreciate your videos, but also looking at how many couples I've known that have split over the years and that only one ever got back together, is this even something that's actually possible? How?

    Me and my ex broke up about 6 weeks ago. We didn’t talk after the break up for about 3 weeks after. We then went away for a few days with a group. He keeps saying he doesn’t want to be together but acts very close to me when he’s drinking. We got a lot closer in the last few days of the holiday. We were texting a lot when we came home until one night when I was out drinking with friends we started talking about it and he said “if the issues were fixable they will be the biggest mistake of me life” and “ I’ve really been questioning the reasons for breaking up” and “ I wish I tried to talk to you about the problems before I broke it off” the next day he stopped talking to me for about 4 days until I was out again and he started talking to me again and e started talking about it and he said hasn’t confused he was reflecting and he’s sticking with his decision. He said he just didn’t want to be in a relationship anymore and wanted space. I decided to stop contact for a while because of hun being hot and cold and me still needing to deal with the breakup a bit more but I don’t know what I should do next
