    My tolerance of even remotely attempting to understand someone who can't identify a great thing when it's smack dab in their face, is deficient at this point in my life. I will NEVER again try to understand why someone would choose to play pretend in anyone's life when it's not what they actually want. Leave people alone if you are not ready. Figure yourself out independently. It's unfair to "figure yourself out" while in the midst of someone's genuine love for you. It's terribly selfish. You can literally ruin a person like that.

      Aren't you always trying to fugue yourself out? People can be overly enfatuated with someone at a time, but nothing is certain until it is. Unfortunately, there are time you want something to work out. You can waste time, hoping things will somehow fix themselves. There's so many scenarios that it's crazy but at the end of it all, always go with your gut feeling

    That birthday moment brought tears to her eyes immediately. See this is why lovers can not be friends. She will carry him like luggage into a beautiful relationship. He says that he is giving her time to heal... NOPE... He is not because he is continuing to be a person in her life playing the good guy. He can see he worth and she recognizes that she is dependent on him. But for what Joanne. He keeps using the "US" when he explains things. It's a form of keeping her engaged to his feelings

    • @misslynda82

      So true. He is keeping her in his life cos he likes her, maybe even love on a platonic level. But what is evident is that he doesn't see her as "the one". She still loves him and possibly hoping he will change and choose her. She is so beautiful and kind... She deserves a KING who wants her 10000%. They need to cut the codependency. She needs space from him. He even wants that cos of that comment he said about he can't wait for her to meet someone new. Sis needs distance from this man.

    This isn't healthy. One will struggle with unrequited love while one will withhold their true love due to past hurt. Cut the cord. Catch up once a year. Maybe send holiday greetings but move on. He's going to continue to say hurtful things because he's hurt she won't give it another shot. She'll stick around because she truly does love him and wants some form of a relationship, if not romantic. It's only going to get worse if they get in other relationships.

      She mentioned him saying he can't wait for her to get her own man, he did not really deny it or explain that it was a misinterpretation. Her consolation gift was I see you and I see all you're doing.. more like I know you want this relationship badly but I am not feeling it and I love myself too much to subject myself to such.

You deserve SOOOOO much more than what this guy is offering (which is nothing IMO). There is another willing and deserving guy who will love you the way you ought to be loved and will do more than bring you soup on your bad cycles. I have so many friends who have been in similar situations and its never worth it, you will be shutting yourself off from love entertaining him, whilst claiming youre not in that space to go back to him whilst you basically acting like bf and gf. Meanwhile because the boundaries are so murky he will move on and get another girl and youll be hurt all over again and he will tell you that you knew what it was all along. He is only chasing and acting heartbroken because youre no longer want him - although your actions are saying otherwise.

He definitely is codependent and wants her to heal from what he caused so he can get back together.

    Man, having been in a relationship these videos have definetely lost some of their appeal. I never really though exes should be friends, but this is really solidifying that. Like, why are you yelling at someone who is not your man anymore? And it's hard to call an unhealthy relationship from the past a "friend:, because very few of us would allow a friendship to continue after emotional abuse, romantic neglect, even self development can distance you from friends. Like she said (and he refuted), it's giving codependence.

    Him excusing his mistakes saying he allowed certain things in his space that he shouldn't have rather than saying he actively cheated and lied after she went through the story and how it hurt her, even worse he ended it with a compliment to himself, "I'm a very patient person". So dodgy, his communication is very manipulative. "You saying you don't know kind of knawing at me sometimes but it's cool", like he is judging her for putting up her boundaries and guilting her for her power. Do not get back with him, he has not changed, just biding his time and putting on new masks until he gets you back. He is worrying.

    When he said, “We can’t live life without each other.” He was really saying, I don’t want to let you go. This friendship will diminish through natural selection. Energetically, they reflect each other “at this time.” It’s an energy of fear and complacency. When she finally sees her own worth, she’ll cut him off and be disgusted with herself for dragging this on for so long. He needs to go work on himself on his own time. His healing is not her responsibility and Vice versa. You will not find peace in the same space that took it away. You have to make a clean break and sacrifice what you want for what you deserve. You have to fight the urge to hang on to what’s familiar until your peace coolly seeps from within. Once you get a taste of that succulent, untapped peace, anything or anyone who challenges it, will feel like a swarm of gnats in your face at a bbq. Much love to anyone who is struggling to let go of what is familiar, for peace sake. 🧡✨ #TRIBE

      Good evening. Thank you for your comment and also the assumptions you have made in conjunction with this video. Emotion isn’t always shown in the eyes but in the heart. Also this is a conversation that we both have had a plethora of times prior to this setup which we both agreed on. This was just her time to speak and that’s okay. They focused more on her with this edit and that’s also fine.
      Lastly, I’ve been in therapy for the past almost 3 years so when someone speaks you allow them to speak no matter how you feel currently. It’s their time & not yours. And when it’s your time you speak. That’s maturity and growth.

    I am truly hoping that the "friendship" is extremely platonic. Most of the time the man has no problem being your friend once things are over when they are the wrongdoer. But most women who are in this type of friendship sometimes stay around with the hope that he would come around. Ladies, please don't do that it is a waste of your time and a delay in your healing. Take a couple of years apart and then try the friendship thing later. If it is meant to end it will regardless of you attempt to delay it.

    She is so gorgeous and has a humble humble kind spirit! She should model for Colgate or Crest!

    She has not let go of him for healing. Distance, no communication and work on self is needed. He has already moved on.

    You told him you still love and care for him and he basically said "Aight, bet". Run.
