    Why is it the ex needs to see the change in ourselves?? Can you do a video on what if the dumper dumps the dumpee due to the mother of the dumper that's that needy and can't live without her daughter/my ex gf, I'll give an example the ex's mum called 13 times in the space of one and half hours of me and the ex gf waking up just to keep asking when are you coming around, the expression on the ex gf's face said it all, the times I've said say no to your mum for once instead of being their at her beckoning call !!!

      Your ex needs to see the change because they need to know that they aren't walking back into the same relationship that they walked out of in the first place.
      Sounds like your ex is upset that you don't value the connection she has with her mother.

    Please, stop putting people who break up with you on a pedestal. You deserve much better. If they broke up with you leaving you sad and alone, it is them who must work hard to get you back. If they don't do it, they are just not worth for you. Place yourself on a pedestal and see how life miraculous changes for you. Love yourself, and life will love you back 10 times more. 100% guaranty.

    #1 - 1:20 - That you are genuinely sorry for anything wrong that you have done.
    #2 - 3:22 - That you can have positive interactions with one another.
    #3 - 5:43 - That you can have empathy and curiosity towards them. (Their point-of-view, their perspective.)
    #4 - 7:25 - That they can trust you. Consistently.
    #5 - 9:39 - (Before they can trust...) that they are not going back to the same relationship that they walked out on.

    I'm tired of being the one who should understand the situation of others!! I had a fight with my boyfriend and he shut down for a month! why would I always have to understand that he is in a difficult situation? I have also exams and living in a stress all the time why wouldn't he think about that? I mean i'm not living in heaven either..!

I mean are we going to go through this everytime we have a fight? I'm confused now about our situation and I'm thinking of giving up on him..

    Dear Unicorns:
    About getting X back:
    1. R U genuinely sorry? That is, if U messed up.
    2. U two can be positive again? Deep interactions.
    3. U can have empathy and curiosity with them.
    4. They can emotionally trust you to follow through and be there 4 them. Consistency needed.
    5. You are different. The relationship is not still broken. Change the dynamic between the two of you. Look at your breakup.
    Personally, I can't do do-overs.

    I set a boundary with my ex because I noticed she was being disrespectful and me respecting myself and setting boundaries actually made us closer. I gained respect back and we even went on a “date” with our son at a local fair. She had so much fun. I want to initiate a dating plan, starting over. Going on dates and showing her the improved person.

    this has all been my ex's fault really. sure its a two way street but her lack of communication has made it all her fault. I am one of the most understanding people you will meet, ever. I don't hold grudges and I rarely get mad ever. if she would have attempted to let me know how she was feeling and not just shutting down and not explaining things and letting herself become wore out and bitter and "falling out of love. BS but thats what she said." then we wouldn't even be here. 5.5 years like it was nothing. bye she said. selfish I say

      Marshall Smith, frustrating as hell isnt it, my ex gf of 6 years did the same wouldn't hold any communication and I'd have to guess what was going on then when I said stuff she'd say look pushing again, and I'm sorry I'm not going over the same stuff, all I wanted to do was help her with her very very needy 78 year old mum, the ex gf is 50, I'm 44 she was the one who was childish in her ways, if it wasn't for her mum we'd be great, so I get your pain and frustration bud

  • @MistSGM

    1. Genuinely apologize.
    I apologized in how much toxic our relationship is. I did changes and I actually genuinely apologized and accepted my mistakes. She just said "I already forgave you. I just want space"
    2. You can have positive interactions.
    I can't she doesn't want to talk to me and the only reason why she talks to me is because of my parents wanting her to talk to me.
    3. Have empathy and curiousity
    I accepted my mistakes, I understand on what happened to us, I understand I hurt her too much for her to leave me. But she just want space.
    4. Trust me
    How can I earn her trust when she doesn't even want to talk to me?
    5.They should know that they're not going to back to the same old relationship.
    I've let her know but she just said "I'm not getting back together"

    None of this applies to me and my ex. Even he admitted when he broke up with me that it was all his fault and I didnt do anything wrong. Everything was going great between us but within two days he did a 180° on me, panicked and ended everything. He kept saying that I was such a good person yet, he was looking for problems to sabotage his happiness with me. 99.99% of our interactions with each other were positve. We had both fun, and deep/meaningful conversations. I've never been with anyone more open than him. His schedule was busier than mine so I'd always tell him that we didn't have to talk everyday/talk as long everyday, but he insisted that we do because it was important to him. We were both always there for each other. I honestly want him to know that I'm the same, that I love him and that he was always good enough for me. His self sabotaging is what's keeping us apart.

  • @audrey.wonders
    @audrey.wonders 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My boyfriend and I were dating for three years. He broke up with me a week ago out of the blue. We had just gone on a gorgeous week-long vacation for spring break and we had been discussing a two-week vacation for August. We have been very happy together and the only real reason that I can see that caused the break-up was that it may have become too safe? We are just about to graduate college (though we are both sticking around for an extra year to get our Masters), and so a lot of our friends in long-term relationships are either getting engaged or breaking up. We had not talked about the future as much as some couples but had discussed the feasibility of both ending up in the same city after we finished school. I am so confused. When he broke up with me he was bawling and was generally very upset and was insistent that he was doing me a favor because he "didn't see it going anywhere" and "didn't want to lead me on". He mentioned hanging out with me and our mutual friends, still seeing my family before graduation, and even reinstated my invitation to vacay with him this summer. I spoke with him briefly a couple days afterward because it seemed he really didn't want to break up, but at this point, he was saying that I didn't make him happy and that he thinks I'm "a dead-end". Do you think the stress of graduation, his family's expectations and the fact that I'm his first relationship caused him to run?

    My ex and I had a great relationship for almost a year. Then A couple months ago I felt him pulling away. He told me he was worried. He was afraid of commitment. I already figured that but I have struggled too. I told him I understood and we did not have decide anything. I liked how thing were. One Saturday morning he freaked out when I stopped by on my way to work. He was upset and said a lot of things. I told him I knew he was scared. Then he said he was and was worried what would happen if we moved in together in a few years. I never had even mentioned it before. He had been thinking about it on his own. Then the next thing I know we were broken up.

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Robin, I'm sorry to hear about the breakup and it seems like your ex got truly anxious of what the future might bring. It is best that you give him the needed space and time at this point to sort his own thoughts and emotions out. We know that breakups are never easy and could be confusing or even frustrating. We hope that you are holding on well.

      I'm sorry to hear that that happened to you. He sounds very similar to my ex. Everything was going great with us and then within less than 48 hours, we were broken up. I'm sure your ex has anxiety like mine does and he just created all these hypothetical problems in his head so he can justify pushing you away. I feel your pain and it sucks.

  • @Banana-lk7tf
    @Banana-lk7tf 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I actually didn't do anything wrong. He rven admitted that when he broke up with me. He said that it was all his fault because he wasn't ready and we were moving really fast. Told me that he realized that he's the one who led in the relationship and he shouldn't have pursued me as strongly as he did. All I did was reciprocate because I thought that we were both on the same page. And I treated him with the utmost dignity and respect, even when he broke up with me. So I literally have nothing to apologize for and he knows that.

    Am one of your avid fan in most of your videos , your advices are awesome especially like you should initiate to contact your ex even though they were the one who dump you , it's quite sensible and sometimes we have to level down our ego especially us women the vital point or target is you want your ex back , the most important thing is you have to aimed your happiness to be fulfilled for the rest of your life , life is so short .... Some men had high level of ego so we had to enhance our understanding if we want to live our lives to fullest ever after .....be with our man we love the most ....

  • @troymphoto
    @troymphoto 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Clay, I've been watching your videos since my breakup and they haven been very informative and helpful but I feel I've done all the mistakes on the book and not too sure if I can get my ex back or not. My ex-girlfriend broke up with me about two months ago. We were in a committed relationship for just over two years. We're both in our mid-twenties. This is the longest and the most involved relationship for both of us, hence why I'm very heartbroken and quite anxious about the whole thing.
    An argument lead to the breakup, we went from being the perfect couple one day to I can't stand you the next. She broke up with me on a night out in the pub and said I wasn't emotional enough for her and I were trying to change her too much when I was only trying to get her into a healthier lifestyle. She also said I never listened to her properly, which I did do as I was naive and lacked a few relationship skills.
    I made the mistake of writing a long love letter, contacting her friends to get involved and the major the mistake of begging and pleading. She's completely walled me out and Now I'm in No-Contact. I should have gone straight into no contact after the breakup. She has told me that she still has feelings for me and cares about me but too afraid if we give it another go she might get hurt again. She also suggested that she wanted to be friends but I didn't agree to. We spoke about two weeks ago about our feelings and she told me to move on and get on with my life in a rather horrible way. She's very stubborn so talking to her or telling her I've changed is only going to push her away further.
    She's still friends with me on social media and still has kept all the photos we have together. I don't know what to do. Do I carry on No-Contact for a period or something else? I'm using this time to working on myself. I'm getting therapy l to improve my listening skills and learn from my mistakes. I genuinely have feeling for this girl and want to perdure this because I believe we can get put our different to a side and work it out. I'm prepared to change to become this new, emotional individual but not too clear what direction I need to take. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It's great to have a great deep connection, but it's difficult when they act like you don't exist at all. And won't communicate at all. So I'm lost with all these videos. All about the connection, but you can't have one without communicating. And yes I've tried.

    I was there for her all the way through it all

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      She's hurting and doesn't have the emotional availability to be in a relationship with you, hence why she broke it off. After a death of a parent, it's common for someone to emotionally close themselves off as an act of self preservation as well as a coping mechanism. I wouldn't take this as anything about YOU per se but what SHE emotionally needs right now. She is grieving....What you can do tho, hold space for her and let her know that you are there for her during this difficult time in her life.

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And when she's closer to fully healing and it will be easier for her to breathe again without hurting, and her emotional capacity to be with you again will increase. Empathy and emotional acceptance will help you here. Those are also the foundational skills we teach to our members. Hang in there, Ryan.

      Hey Alina, A successful communication would involve a two-way process between the sender and the receiver of the message. So it is an interactive process. If we are in the position of not getting a response from the other person, we can safely assume that they are not ready emotionally yet to communicate with us. so the question is, how would we make use of this time to make our self a better individual until our ex is ready to communicate with us? All the best.

    @PeterPSea 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    hello Clay, really need your advice... I made a BIG mistake by showing over anxious and too hyper, Here was the story, after she ignored me and took a business trip to avoided me. I called her up and she admitted "we cant be together because her parents think we dont fit"....huh? i've havent' even meet them. We dated about 2 months. She was raised from a traditional family with extreme rules which turned her to have a low very self esteem in relationship. She’s like a puppet to her parents. Ok, i said, respected your decision. But i screwed the NC rules and took my chance , emailed her daily, not to beg, but made up something like radio station, talks about humor, education, and interesting real stories. She did read and listens to them, more than onces, (I have a tracking app that can see if the person opens the mail and how long they reads them ) Anyway, from the last email, I put the "last show" with all the heart melting materials and a touchable song, claim I will stopped the show for health reasons. She called me and cried like a baby that night, said wants to see me in the morning. I was really hyper and over anxious, even showed a little desperation while messaging each other before went to bed. GUESS WHAT? she messages me the next morning and said her boss asked her to do something very important and won't see me today.... what am i'm thinking ...i said its ok, take care, then sent out a few stupid desperation messages again, last 2 messages were from her, "i just want to check and worried about your health, I want give you a few more hugs too. I applied the NC for 2 days now…from now on, I have to think cautiously straight. I have to show a lot of confidence do what I suppose to do, change myself, improve myself . As since as she doesn’t block me, I think I still have the chance….. how long do u think i can apply for the NC ?

      Getting back together is a choice that a person has to make. If we feel that the breakup happened because of some reasons, then we have to evaluate if it is worth going back to the same relationship. There are people after doing thorough reflection on their past relationship realized that the relationship becomes unhealthy for them. So they decided instead to work on their personal improvement so they can bring their best self on their future relationships. :-)

    But what if she doesn't want to interact with you? I screwed up after the breakup by acting a bit desperate and needy and we had a fight over that. Even though I have sincerely apologize about my behavior during that period. Now she doesn't even want to reply to me if it's not work related, or even if she replied it's a short "Everything's fine" when I try to ask about how's everything. It's like the Great Wall of China between us now. Since then I've started no contact as it seems it's like it's what she wanted, but I do want her back so I don't know how to begin.

    • @ClayAndrews
      @ClayAndrews  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When it comes to not getting a reply from your ex, it is, in part due to how you are contacting them.
      For example, texting your ex "How are you?" is extremely easy for your ex to ignore. Why? because there is zero investment on your part. You are expecting them to make the first move and share something vulnerable. They aren't going to do that because they don't know how invested you are and there may also be reactance as well.
      Instead, ask something more specific.
      Or better yet, share something of yourself (without going overboard) to show her that this isn't the same old "How are you? / I'm fine" type of interaction that never goes anywhere.

She says shes trying to move on and focus on her life and that she knows that I can change but that we cant be back together.
