      Just to give credit to the origin of the quotes. It actually came from T. E. Lawrence in the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia, when he was performing this trick of extinguishing a match with his fingers. The original scene was also played in the more recent film "Prometheus".

    From the perspective of a man who was the next relationship: be sure you're over your ex because you may just hurt someone else. The woman I was seeing had been abruptly dumped by her ex after two years together. Nearly a year later, and after seeing me for two months, two days before Christmas, broke down saying she still missed the guy and wasn't ready for a relationship. She said we'd stay in touch, but haven't heard from her since, and I have reached out. Needless to say, I've experienced the entire range of emotions.

    • @davidu8688
      @davidu8688 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      You shouldn't have reached out, it was her who wanted space from you and you have to respect that. She will not respect you for allowing her to "stay in touch" after being romantic and going back to her ex. It's all about approval and validation when it comes to women. If they know they can fully have you and for sure run you over they do not want you because it is boring and no challenge any longer. Somehow in the past I knew this subconsciously but not consciously until a cpl years ago. Women are more attracted to men who are "unsure" and or mysterious. Make yourself a challenge for women and never reach out after them letting you out of their grasp...they have to win you back. Most women do not even understand this about themselves...at least not on the conscious level.

    • @ambre_ASMR
      @ambre_ASMR 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I experienced a similar situation, her ex dumped her only a few days before we started talking, I knew it since the beginning but I wanted to see how far we could go. That was a huge mistake because I was falling for her harder and faster than her while she was still missing him and processing after her break up. I will never wait for someone who is not ready for me again. It's an hard pill to swallow but believe me it becomes harder and harder the more you wait and build hope onto something which started wrong. Don't get to attached if you see red flags, and believe that if you two are meant to be you will met again when both of you will be ready to build something greater than you ever imagine. Don't wait till you're broken to start putting yourself first, you are your priority.

    It also helps if you have a life to go back to. You should always keep your own interests, hobbies, activities going after you enter into a relationship. That way, if it doesn't work out, you can move back into your own life as you heal.

    • @xTwilightWolvesx
      @xTwilightWolvesx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Gioya McRae The problem with this is that my life was very different when I got into a relationship compared to after a breakup. During the course of the relationship I gained and lost friends (problems happened that had nothing to do with the relationship) as well as interests that I would've picked up or lost, with or without the relationship. I don't think there's anything anyone can do other than build a new life for themselves, especially if their relationship was a long one. There usually isn't any going back to the life you had before you got into a relationship because you were a different person at that point in your life.

    Lord what a beauty! He's bulked up I see...anyway, can't get distracted from the message of the story. After a heartbreak you have to re-invent yourself. You might find a lot of change in yourself. You might cut your hair, be more flirtatious, or pray more. You're going to change for the better. Just be in the present, take life seriously because spending those days in bed when you could've been out enjoying life is going to bum you. Take time to heal, cry, express how you feel...so writing, music, painting, poetry, will be perfect tools. Don't worry. Life gets better. Breakups are a test. X

      I always seem to get a hair cut after a breakup or changing myself somehow to become different because that helps me feel better about myself and gives me a new outlook on life as opposed to sitting in a room crying it out all day and all night.
      Matthew is dead on on so many things in his videos and I can't believe that I found him just now.
      My last relationship was 3 years ago and in that time frame, I haven't dated anyone or been in any physical intimacy. I know, your all thinking what about sex. Well to be honest, that's further-est from my mind. I'm not a serial dater and given that majority of my relationships have been turmoil and given that my last relationship was an absolute heaven compared to the others, it's nerve wrecking to get back in the dating game again...mainly because i don't want to get my heart broken again, do the comparison game between current and ex flame and worst, let someone in again.
      Unfortunately for me it's taking me a long time to better myself emotionally due to alot of stuff from my past but I'm getting there slowly and watching Matthew's video and understanding what he's saying is helping me understand things. Although I have imprinted in my head 'I'm never dating again', watching these videos helps so much. So thank you Matthew

    I'm ALWAYS going to love my ex. She became part of my life and always will be. She is with someone else now and it seems to be going well and I want to be happy for her. The pain lingers though, along with the good memories and the bad memories and times when things weren't going well. I've tried suppressing the pain by working on myself by getting fit again. The pain still comes and goes. I loved that last pearl of wisdom. "You have to not mind that it hurts."

Fact is when some men have other options they take it and realize later what a big mistake it was especially when the women who did them right will not take him back because she finally realized that. Then again he could have been a good man that you neglected and has moved on.

    When the person that you love breaks up with you, pushes you out of their life, basically says to you "I think my life will be better off without you in it", you grieve over that person because the person you once loved, the person who used to love you is gone. That person that you were in love with doesn't exist anymore. You lose them like you lose a loved one to death. What I've always heard from people who deal with that is, you never really completely "get over it", you just learn to live with it. I loved her and her daughter so much. I have tried everything, and I'm starting to think the pain will never fully go away.

    @PlanetCharnBaby 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I’m in a situation where my boyfriend of 9 years broke up with me last week. I’m completely devastated and I’ve cried for days now. But what makes matters worse is that we still live together, we share a lease that’s not up for another four months, we share our beloved dog, and a bank account. You spend nine years together, and your lives are going to be so intertwined, that trying to break off all contact is going to be impossible. So I have to see him everyday, knowing he both hates me and sees me as nothing more than a pest and is indifferent to my existence while I still love him and want him deeply, is much harder than if I could just stop seeing him all together. And I know he has already replaced me with somebody else, so unless that relationship falls apart soon, I’m going to have to witness it, while I’m in the worst stages of heartbreak. This is torture and I don’t know what to do.

      I just miss my guy, I don’t want to find someone else. I have met many guys but I only want him 😫😭. I feel so attached to him I would do anything to be back the way we used to be :( . I’m sure eventually I will be happy with someone else but it’s so hard right now.

      I'm in the same position now it's terrible he says we can still be best friends but he wants another girl 😢 sometimes you have to let go for people to be happy but it's just upsetting. We never dated or anything but we were so close and now he doesn't call me in the morning or for random reasons maybe 10 minutes a day it's heartbreaking. We used to talk 6-8 hours a day

    You've been helping me so much during these trying times Matthew. Thank you. 😭 Ive just had an attachment with someone and its now over and I thought my first break-up was the hardest ever but this is an extra ordinary pain. It was wrong from the very start and I wanted to end it myself many times ,tried couple of times because I know it's the right thing to do but I just followed my emotions and thought of just temporary happiness even if it was feeling empty every end of the day because I know what we have will never be right and will go nowhere but I wasn't strong enough to fight it and it cuts me so deep.

    Mathew, something that I have never herd you talk about in all of the videos I have listened to is the stages of grief. We all think of grief as death but grief belongs to a relationship as well and some people ignore grief (or they think they can) and some people need to go through all seven stages before they can move on.

  • @jessicaw9011

    It makes me happy that I've already been doing the right thing. I just got out of a 7 yr. relationship in January, and my mindset almost straight from the get go after the initial pain was that we were finally both free to go and find what it was that we actually wanted; we could go find people that were more compatible, and perfect or near perfect matches. I was so excited for both of us at the same time that I was devastated. When I dated my first guy after the breakup, I actually did the exact opposite of what you mentioned-- yes, I still compared him, maybe, but I think in a good way: I saw the new guy as an example of why I shouldn't go back to my ex, that yes, what my ex was saying when he was down all those years was true, even though I hated to admit it, if I ever did:
    I really *can* do better.
    The example of me doing better was standing right in front of me, and it was *wonderful*.
    I was sad when me and the new guy had to break up, but I knew in the back of my head that wasn't going to last that long, and that in of itself was a great learning process too. I had to put into practice something that I learned in one of your other breakup videos before I ever even started watching your stuff-- I thought he was a God-send, and I do still think he is, but I had to realize that God had sent him not as the end-all be-all, even if we did have chemistry and a lot of compatibility-- no. He was an example, and he was practice, and he was succor-- nothing more, nothing less. Now I've been cheering myself on with the idea that I am free to find someone *even better* than that. If my Heavenly Father only wants good things for me, then I'm excited to see who God has for me next.

      Jessica W So you used this new guy? That’s wonderful!!! His emotions, pain don’t matter. I mean were you honest and told him you didn’t see it lasting? What would the Heavenly Father think of that?

    • @jessicaw9011
      @jessicaw9011 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      We both didn't see it lasting. We both agreed to keep it casual, and that's all we wanted.

    I thought I had manifested (Abraham Hicks) the ONE in my life. The momentum built really fast and the tree was really HARD. I'm still healing and getting ready to be ready to go on. Now I have a much clearer picture, and have actually SAMPLED what I want. The pain is intense, and I bounce up and down the emotional scale. BUT....what I got from that was EXPANSION. I have outgrown not just that old relationship, but my whole way of "relating", my current house and car and job and appearance. I'm more courageous and accepting of others and of life. Yes, it was tremendous pain AND tremendous GAIN. Thank you Source and Thank you "J."

    Hi Matthew and to everyone reading this. I just wanted to say that your videos are truly inspirational! Im getting over a break up as you can see. Ive meet this guy online last december and everything went fine. I find that we had alot of things in common and we were really comfortable with each other. Its my first real relationship. We became exclusive after a month which was January this year. At some point he even told me he loved me which i told him i feel the same way. All of a sudden last June second week everything changed! It was so sudden. He suddenly realized he's not ready. I told him i wanted to be with someone on the same page as me. Ive even told him that we need to go our separate ways. He cried and does not want to let go. He's still undecided but we continued to see each other for the past weeks and ge even brought me to his parents house. To my surprise, yesterday after i came back from a trip, he told me over the phone he's not ready for a relationship and wanted to explore. At that point, i finally told him i dont want to see him again. I told him its over and wish him a good life. After the call i deleted everything and even threw his stuffs that he gave me. Im just really trying to get the strength to move on. We were so compatible and i can really see myself to be with him in the future. I dont even know if i can meet someone special again :(

    I have been trying and trying to work out a relationship with a man who I have AMAZING chemistry with but outside of that he is controlling manipulative and insecure. I kept breaking it off with him but continuously went back out of fear and loneliness. He knows my biggest fear was him finding another woman. Well...I recently decided enough was enough and ended it. Out of retaliation he met this woman through his female roommate and took her on vacation to one of our FAVORITE places. It broke my heart. How can someone be so heartless??? Unfortunately...he lives across the street so he is now bringing that same woman over his house in the evenings and it just kills me.

Then you are sad... because he enjoys the company of a woman who does not give him an ultimatum... Thank you for the inspiration... I'm gonna have to write a song and dedicate my new song on TH-cam to you... titled... "Selfish Love..." she really loves me... yea, yea... she says she loves me..., yea yea... selfish love... she gives me an ultimatum... selfish love... yea, yea..., she has selfish love for me... yea, yea... such selfish love... yea, yea... I don't need her kind of love. The end.
