    One thing that has kept me on track with my no contact when I have the urge to text them and reach out to them is I write down everything I want to say to them and then I tell myself I’m going to wait until tomorrow before I send it and if I still feel the need to send it I will. By the time the next day comes I am so glad I didn’t send it and just tear up the note. Hope this helps someone……

    No contact isn't to get your ex back. It's to get you back. It's to break the unhealthy addiction that came with that unhealthy relationship so you can refocus on yourself. No contact ALWAYS WORKS! If your ex comes back you need to really ask yourself if it's worth the risk of ever feeling that low again.

      Why is this guy "coaching" people to attract Borderlines back? That's the last thing you want to do if you've been fortunate enough to get out. The point of "no contact" is to stay away, break free, reclaim your life, and prevent any chance of reconciliation which will lead to more pain and misery. I don't get this guy, but I support his freedom to teach what he wants to teach and have his perspective on this subject.

I was/am terribly confused. I'm not looking for a way to manipulate. I just wanted to know if I could get some answers or insight. At the time I was afraid no contact would hurt her.

    • @r.maelstrom4810
      @r.maelstrom4810 ปีที่แล้ว

      From my own experience and seeing it in others' (and i'm not young), i would say that no matter what you do nothing will actually work per se. Only one thing works and it's only to avoid decreasing your chances, never increasing them: to stop begging, pleading, acting obsessively and dependant. When they break up with you they are emotionally more prone and ready to move on and they are set free for all the alternatives and possibilities around them and the new ones they create (the dumpees, in contrast, sabotage themselves because, well, they need to grieve). So the chances they will be willing to encounter you in the future tend to zero. If they happen to go through a period of introspection it's then when they could consider returning to you... But hey, they probably had other exes (and new ones after your breakup) so here we are again at the same uncontrollable situation.
      In other words: no matter how you improve (but at least this is good by itself and to yourself so you should always try to improve) they will not get the opportunity to know it by themselves; their life has gone through other directions. I've seen no contact working and keeping contact working too; sadly they are both minuscule percentages of the outputs after breaking up, being the vast majority that they move on with their lives, breaking up to only move on again and again to new people
      I'm telling this having got my ex back after 7-8 years apart (to lose her again 2 and half years later). It occurred by sheer luck. I saw her coming out from a cafeteria, but she didn't see me. I went my own way observing that that encounter impacted me positively (years before i was afraid that encountering her would bring tears to my eyes), so thereafter, some days later i reached out to her for a date. She said yes.

    Hi coach Ken, my ex spilled his emotions via a drunken message (early March) but said we should not start over as he is leaving in June (it was originally both our plans to work in that country). He confirmed it was true when he was sober. As a response i said let’s hangout without pressure etc to figure see what we want. He took a a week to reply saying he was sorry for his drunken silly message and he would not repeat that and that things are better with us not together. I agreed in my response (this was mid March)…but truthfully i didn’t agree. Can i message him now just to say what i actually think and that he should not be pressured into replying?

    Coach ken I have a question.
    She left me after 5 years , we had a wonderful relationship for the most part.
    I went into NC and worked on myself.
    Eventually our paths crossed unintentionally, she initiated the meet up.
    She noticed my progress and cried, admitted she lied about all the reasons why she broke it off , said she loved me (and I believe it was genuine) and she begged me for a second chance. It took me a lot to open up again and I gave her the chance, she kept blowing up my phone for up to a month after then turns cold. I called her out on things and she said she changed her mind, so I told her we shouldn't talk anymore.
    How can a ex be so fickle, full of absolute love and lust after separation, wanting a chance, then turn away when they get it.

      I see two possible reasons why she lost interest although there could be more...
      1) she's a narcissist and went through the love bomb - devalue - discard stages with you.
      2) you expressed feminine behavior that turned her off and gave her buyers remorse. She regretted getting back with you and realized you were not what she thought you were.
      Here's some advice based on what worked for me...
      There is a book called 3% man. Read it.
      Watch Coach Corey Wayne videos on TH-cam. This will teach you how to act like a masculine man.
      Keep watching Coach Ken and Coach Lee when you're feeling like breaking No Contact. Which you will feel.
      & Going through something like this hits your confidence hard. So here's a quote from a show I watched that really motivated me.
      "If you are ever feeling disheartened that you are somehow not enough. *Set your heart ablaze.* You may feel like digging your heels in but the flow of time waits for no one. It won't patiently standby as you grieve."
      Best of luck!

    • @NA-gn5lb
      @NA-gn5lb 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The problem is within herself. She’s not secure within herself and is looking for others to make herself feel better. That’s why when you weren’t this new improved exciting sexy version of yourself she wasn’t interested, and when you were she suddenly was. Being with someone sexy and smart and whatever else she saw in you with your glow up is for HER to make herself feel better about herself. She doesn’t love herself and so she can not love other people, the ‘love’ is always selfish first and foremost. After a while she probably realised that despite you looking and seeming amazing, you guys broke up for a reason and probably weren’t all that compatible. Either that or the thrill wore off and she started seeing all your ‘flaws’ again which turned her off because she wants a trophy without flaws. Of course I’m wildly speculating having heard only a snippet of your story, but that’s my take having learned what I’ve learned so far in life.
      You’re well rid. Keep doing yourself the service of looking after yourself and loving yourself properly and eventually the right person will be drawn to you and you to them. Sounds like your ex still has a long way to go in life
      ** to add - love is never fickle. Lust is fickle. Love is something most people think they have but they really don’t, in reality it’s usually lust. Love takes a long time to build and is based on trust, respect (respecting yourself and the other person) and giving and taking equally. You can’t grow or lose that overnight. After 5 years with you I’m sure love grew, but maybe it wasn’t very deep as she probably didn’t have a lot to give (and who knows maybe you didn’t either if you didn’t love and respect yourself as you should during your time together). Keep your head up and have faith!
