      It really is. I can see why it works, because it truly hurts. You sit and ponder if they care and make stories in your head. If one is strong, they will keep going and they know that feeling will pass even if it takes months. No contact works on the inexperienced, most of the time.

If not,why would you want those back who wouldn’t love you with commitment and solidity? Work on your happiness and yourself only while doing no contact. They always come back but from then you are the chooser not them.period

    @hayatie 5 ปีที่แล้ว +156

    I am doing no contact with a guy because he kept going hot and cold with me. The last time we talked, he said that he loved me 🙄 I did not say that I loved him back, because his words did not match his actions. When we fought, he was verbally abusive, and I felt like I wasn't being heard. We only talked when it was convenient for him. My brother said that I was selling myself short, and I felt that. When I decided to have no contact with him, I just assume that I would never hear from him again. It's not punishment, it's not a mind game. It's standing my ground, knowing that I want better and deserve better. Getting scraps of attention is not love. Being made to feel that I'm putting in more effort than he is, is not love. Not feeling safe, not feeling supported, not feeling that I matter is not love. The no contact rule is not easy to follow through, believe me, but it has made me stronger and I don't waste my time over-analyzing the situation. No one is worth losing your peace and mental health over. Work on yourself, live fully as if you will be single for the rest of your life.

    You don’t do no contact to get a man to like you. You do it for yourself because you don’t need his wishy washy unappreciative bullshit. It’s stressful and distracting from the good stuff in your life. If you two were right together the idea of going no contact wouldn’t have crossed your mind.

  • @crystalmoyer6905

    He said the long distance wouldn't work and I tried to do no contact but he reached out a few times randomly, and in return I did too but less. Wish I would've stuck with no contact. Now it feels like he probably thinks he's still got me wrapped around his finger. I will no longer accept his short messages and texts, if he isn't coming back for me completely he's not gonna come back to me at all. I won't validate him when he's lonely or regretting his decision. No contact for me isn't about punishing him, it's about ME moving on because he clearly doesn't want me enough to keep me or have me.

My ex always curved back to me and I left him on read or write him back short and cold but being emotionless. No hate but also no interest. Guys are driven crazy when they can’t guess where you stand currently. Let them keep guessing but while then keep focusing on yourself and your happiness!! Silence can be the loudest for sure. When they don’t act on empty words but with plan and solid actions with loyalty and commitment then let them get your message with your own standard you ask for healthy and committed relationship:)

My ex still is stalking me everywhere and he could be one of the worst type of man who can’t actually love as matured man but emotionally procrastinating a lot and never plan things out etc. like ‘Let time tell the tale’ you know..? He left me for whole 3times before and I begged him to stay. At the end of the day I left him cuz I couldn’t have wasted my time anymore bc of love. It was so hard for me but it has been almost 8months since I left him and never contacted him while he did every month and always stalk my social media...He works on things but doesn’t seem to be grown up still. He leaves so many signs as he’s been changed but Idgaf cuz it’s not enough and I don’t wanna make any more mistake. While you work on yourself he will be back but then he can’t be a chooser but you will be. Don’t get soft. When the day comes you won’t lost anything but just gain or gains.

      Thats great advice. My guy is the same, when he left again he told me it's not over for good we just have to "see where life takes us". I'm tired of the constant leaving and inability to commit. He used to treat me so good and chose me and wanted me and then boom, a change. But I won't beg him to come back like I did before. He's going to realize he made a mistake, he can't do better, and that he lost the one girl that cared. But being soft is my weakness, I always give in. But not this time.

    I've never understood using no contact as a weapon of manipulation. . Even if they do come back and you let them, it's only matter of time before they fall into their old patterns of what led to the end anyway.
    The only time I've gone no contact is when I haven't wanted any contact with that person.
    I didn't want to see his face, I didn't want to hear his excuses or his lines .... it is annoying when they come at you during that time, because you do think "Why now??" ....and also because when you lay your boundaries down, all you want is for them to respect that.
    They know you're upset. They know why you're upset. No contact is kind of my way of telling that person to leave it.
    I'm not "punishing" him. I just want to move on.
    It is hard and I do wonder what he's up to. I do still care, but going back and going through the same thing again is just not worth it.
    Care less about teaching an ex partner a lesson, and care more about your own sanity.
    Moving on may seem unthinkable sometimes, and heartbreaking most of the time, but you'll Thank yourself in the long run.
    You cannot teach someone a lesson, you can't force them to miss you. You can't force someone to care about you.
    If they don't, it's not your fault. If they do, but realise it too late, it's not your fault.
    You are not obligated to go back when they come running, and they are not obligated to come running.
    Let it be.

      💯 correct. Ladies would be better served if they make life about THEM versus the object of their affection/desire. Most men, if they are semi-evolved, intuit a grasping, cloying, needy woman and before you can say “Jack Robinson” up goes the moat, things go from ‘white hot’ to on and off/hot and cold (at his whim) and the vicious circle commences. Concentric circles going nowhere. Break free .... break away. Heartache is almost guaranteed in the beginning, but you end up with THE greatest prize of all: Yourself. Beautiful, shining, radiant you. Supreme Goddess of Love. A goddess in touch with her value and self-worth.

If you pull away because he isn’t worth it. It doesn’t matter if he contacts your or not. But if you do think he deserves you, never put yourself in a position where you are going after him more than he is chasing you. Like I said, I think you are both saying the same thing.

    No Contact Rules DOES work, but it’s not an over night process. You don’t have to have much with someone in order for them to want reconciliation later on. When you stop giving someone love and attention that they take for granted and you disappear, they’re gunna notice. I use to worship this guy in High school and he never gave me a chance so I did no contact. He came back because he missed the attention I use to give him, a couple months later he wanted to give me a shot. He’s OBSESSED with me now! To this day I have him wrapped around my finger. No joke. Our relationship dynamic is totally different now and the only reason I’m not with him is because I don’t want to be. He’s been chasing me for 2-3 years now? 🤔

Sometimes you’re not aware on how you’re coming across to the opposite sex, or how your behavior is being perceived.
      Not everyone is enlightened enough to be the best version of themselves.. I mean what is that anyways?! “Be yourself” is too vague and unhelpful.. been doing that.. been getting walked all over. Insanity is doing the same thing over n over expecting different results.
      So I think I’m gonna stick to taking dating coaches’ advice n see what happens!

    We are a bit conditioned as women to contact men and thank them for a nice time after a date, it's called good manners. If you've done this a few times (three times plus) it starts to feel like you initiate all contact. If its got to this stage and you are doubting intent...... wait, hold fire. If they are interested they WILL contact you and you have asserted a bit of status as a high value woman. If not let it go.

I always believe that certain events set certain events in motion. Nothing in life is coincidence. Your break up was pre set. Nothing you could e done could’ve stopped it. He wasn’t for you. You have to accept it now. He is engaged and the engagement can still be broken but the chances of that happening are low to none. Be firm and move on. I wish you the best.

      I was in a similar situation as you are right now. After 9 years, he broke up with me, and got engaged 8 months later. What I did was to stay away from social media for months. I also traveled overseas to meet with some friends. It was very healing. Nowadays I don't have the urge to look for him anymore. I gained my freedom, my peace, a higher awareness of myself and what I want from life, and many more. Yes I still think about him, but in a way, I don't miss him anymore.

      They dont always come back. My opinion is, no contact can work two ways. First, you are doing it for yourself for your own peace of mind and value. For your self respect. In this scenario you may never see him ever again and you must be prepared because he may not return ever. The second one is that he may return because the absence and scarcity made him realize how valuable you were to him in which case, its up to you to take him back but what does that say about him and it seems like your behavior and willingness to hang around and wait for him too indicates low self esteem on your part that youre willing to wait for someone who is unsure of your value to begin with? Do no contact with the intention that he may never return and you are done and no longer hoping. Its hars because you love him and youre expecting him to come back but steel yourself for the possibility that he may never and no contact in this case was to help you realize it was never meant.

    Yes, I've had two very long-term relationships. In both cases, over time I found these guys will do less or see what all they can get away with. I know it sounds crazy, but you have to set standards from the very beginning and hold to those standards. You as the girl, have to also take the responsibility of the relationship. And these are grown men where you'd think they'd grow up and settle down and realize their age. In both cases, no and usually they get bad advice from their own family or friends. And then they'll have the sibling who dumps their relationship crap on him, and he can't separate the two. THey'll start out like I'll treat you like how you treat me-but in reality that's not the case. You want the man who wants the family with you.

    100% correct Elliot....
    I have a question for a video I’d love you to cover. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place with dating. I have PTSD. I have significant challenges because of that. I don’t work. But I squeeze whatever I can out of my life. I’m studying psychology, hoping to work again. I have put my heart and soul into recovery, and I believe I’ve addressed so many of the things I need to be relationship ready, I think I have a lot to offer. Here’s the catch, dating others with mental health issues means they might drag me down, they haven’t done the work I have (that’s rare). Dating mentally healthy men, they always slowly back up (and I completely understand why). The only men who are interested are narcissistic or needy clingy.
    How do I find the balance between being honest with men about my challenges and not scaring them off? When should I tell them. I try to paint it in the best light as possible...do I just need to accept a healthy relationship is not on the cards for me atm?

      Anyway, RUN!! Just block him and run the other direction. Guys like this only looking for attention when they are bored
