Should You Initiate Contact with The Ex that Dumped You?
I came across a good question from one of my subscribers and I thought I'd answer it in a whole video! This subscriber confirmed with me an idea that she got from other "relationship experts" that says that if someone broke up with you, you shouldn't be the one initiating contact.
There are a lot of relationship experts online that says this but I beg to differ. In my point of view, there is nothing wrong in initiating contact with your dumper. Why? There's no hundred percent possibility that your ex will feel that need to initiate contact with you. If you really want it to work, you would set your ego aside and actually try to make a better connection with your ex. Always remember, MIND GAMES DO NOT WORK.
If you feel the need to take a break, there's no problem with that as long as you work on your Advanced Relational Skills for better emotional connection with your ex.
Remember that if you want to create an emotional connection with someone, it’s best to take the initiative yourself rather than waiting endlessly for them to do what you aren’t willing to do.
And if you want to get in contact with your ex, it’s best to do it yourself.
Sure, in an ideal world, it would be nice if the dumper took the first move. But we don’t live in an ideal world, and if you’re waiting for someone else to do what you believe they should do, then you may find yourself waiting for a very, very long time.
If you want to be in contact with someone, pick up the phone and text them or call them and get the ball rolling.
Obviously, this isn’t the only consideration in the process of contacting your ex, but when it comes to initiating things, you have to be willing to go after what you want rather than clinging to arbitrary rules and “shoulds” that other people may not agree with.

@@ClayAndrews it's a self respect move. The dumpee contacting someone that dumped him, he's losing his self-respect. If the dumper doesn't respond to communication, the dumpee will feel worse than when he/she was initially dumped.

If you've been dumped, you have no obligation to try and prove yourself to that person for their validation. That comes from having a low sense of your worth that probably led you to being dumped in the first place.

Respect yourself enough to not chase someone who said they wanted out of your life. Let them leave. If they're meant to be your partner, they wouldn't leave. It's on them to apologize. And to ask you for another chance. Learn your lessons from your breakup. Work on being a better self. And you will attract the right person - your ex or someone else.

Tbh.. (this is off of experience) no contact is necessary, not for your ex but for you, as hard as it may be you need to stick to it & don’t break it for at least 30 days, if you still feel emotionally attached afterwards then wait a little longer. If your ex does contact you during the no contact don’t ignore them but don’t have long deep conversations either, let it be short & simple. When you feel like you’re in a better head space where nothing your ex does affects your mood, it’s okay to reach out. We are too grown for games & if they don’t want to talk to you still after you’ve opened the door for communication leave it alone.. You can’t force someone to talk to you, but if they are giving you mixed signals as in they’re happy then cold, back off for like a week or so & try again.. I hope this helps! It helped me

I contacted my ex, I tried so hard to fix it. I did the begging and chasing. Honestly if she wanted to be with me, she would be with me. In relationships you come together to try and fix it. Some relationships are damaged beyond repair. That’s when you have to let go. But with mine, idk. Idk the true reason as to why we broke up. And it sucks because i had to be the one to break it off. I’m done chasing someone. I was fine before I met her, I’ll be fine after. Attachments lead to suffering. Let go!

i broke up with him because of distance and for space, i didnt want to i like him alot. he reached out to me 2 weeks later for a call, but i was suspicious of his motives and i ended up asking him why did you contact me and rantign about school, then he messaged 'just cause were not dating anymore doest mean we cant be friends'. then day later i found out hes hooking up with this girl he hid the fact from me by saying its a friend and lied and then later he admitted it to me hes been hooking up with her saying he seeing her reffering to it as 'friend with benefits' and that i was after i dumped him.... he approached her. but the thing is suspicious being so couply and posting a girl youve just started seeing hes angry i watched her story even thought he had tagged and ultimately i was led to seeing it. he was annoyed about and that my friend and i had both watched it making me feel bad about it saying its psycho. we got in an argument.... he was like even when i reached out to you as a friend you ranted about school and didnt ask me how i was, i feel like you use me to exhuast your insecurrites and stresses and dont value me. this is what he said, he was saying this and many thing i couldnt tell if he was pulling the victim card and trying to divert from the fact that hes seeing someone so soon and not only that but he lied to me when i first asked about her. it was left on a ' i dont think really want to talk to you now' point he made me feel really bad. i dont understand why he said the thing about us being friends? and im not sure if i shoudl reach out to him or just let it be .... i have school assigemtns this happned 2 days ago, my birthday and deadlines coming up soon, should i just leave it? i feel foolish, cause i told him i still loved him and was like why can e just have our chance for the future im in a very similar situation

You can’t really do anything to change your ex’s mind. If they dumbed you, you need to give them the space and the gift of missing you. Don’t text them until they reach out to you, if they do ask them to go out with you. From my experience their not going to value your presence if you initiate contact.
@Jakuboooooooooo
@Jakuboooooooooo Год назад
Yea every situation is different tho. For example if they break up w you bc of things you did and bc they felt like you needed to work on some things, reaching out can be a good thing and sometimes it’s exactly what needs to happen, especially if they’re still hurt by things you did and/or are apprehensive about whether or not you’ve actually changed.

Firstly, this method won’t work for everyone! People face different kinds of breakups, and as a general rule the person doing the dumping has lost respect, attraction and interest for the dumpee! So I did this I begged and pleaded and made my feelings clear none of that changed his mind! So I think the NC is effective to show that person you are fine living your life without them and being with you is a choice not something you have to chase! Because in most cases the dumper knows the person wants them but they reject any offers they give! So when they take a step back, apply NC and don’t bother with the pleading and looking desperate and focusing on yourself and your own life is the best way to move fast it and gain some clarity! The dumper has made their feelings clear! They know where you are if they want you!

It indeed depends on your the views/personality of your ex. Mine, e.g., is very much like "Everything to make her happy", so if I don't contact him for 30 days and make him believe I'm fine with the break-up, he'll just leave it there because he thinks that's the best for me, even if he misses me very much, and not reach out himself.

I think it's "dis-empowering" to contact an ex that dumped you, especially if you communicated to them that you want to work things out. Best and most self-respecting thing to do is tell them how you feel and let them know the door is open if they change their mind. Trying to convince someone to stay is degrading. And it's not about pride, it's about self respect.

I think it depends.. If u acted needy after the break up, It would annoy me to see tht the guy still reach out.. my ex dumped me but wnted to remain friends n keep me in his life. I told him tht I realized a few things.. He started acting anxious n than I started beeing cringy.. N allowed too much.. I told him afterwards I gonna take care for myself now.. Didn't reply to this friendship nonsense..n I didn't begged or acted needy after.. 3 days after breaking up he dated a old friend n she also came straight out of a rs. I am without contact since nearly 3 weeks.. I hope he gonna miss me.. But he is a very proud half Cuban he don't ran after ppl..he did with his ex wife n than once with me.. But he texted me at Christmas to hope that we remain friends.. Didn't reply to this n 3 days later he deleted my number after seeing a clubbing picture.. Still got ne on fb.. But I don't think he would reach out. I continue no contact for some while n maybe I gonna text him later some simple text.. N BTW I donno if he still date tht girl

If you dump someone and the dumpee knows that what they did was the reason for the break up and they have regrets. Then it's up to the dumpee to suck it up and make the contact and put it right if they are still interested in the relationship. Hopefully then they will learn from their mistakes!

She broke up and says she has a new partner. If she breaks up then i can understand that you might win her over by getting in touch after a few days. But if she had a replacement ready when they broke up with you then it's absolutely as dead as it can be. Contacting them for any reason is pointless and makes you look desperate.

My girl broke up with me officially 2 weeks ago, about 3 weeks ago she told me she wanted to live in her own place after living together for 4 years. We had an excellent relationship, we care deeply for each other and had great communication. Our lease was up, and about a week and a half till moving day, she said she wanted to live separate. I knew what this ment, but she denied it. She broke down a few days later at her friends crying super drunk. There was some dude their who had no clue who I was and he did the puffy chest thing when no pulled the car to get her (She went to get her things) he told me to take a hike. I was pretty mad, but didn't want to make a scene, so I left and tried to call her and no answer all night, they were mostly friends I knew. But my trust was shaken. She said she would be home when morning came.i was up all night thinking the worst. Her being black out drunk and all. She kept telling me she was coming home, but she didn't come back untill 11 at night. We talked briefly about it, went to bed. I knew she wanted to leave me, but she wouldn't say it, and I love her so much, I couldnt either. The next night she wad about to go to bed, and i proclaimed we nees to talk and said, "we have a problem" we had a good talk, and I agreed that living separate was going to be a good thing. (We always lived together.) So time for mov8ng and packing and cleaning. 3 days till move out. I had a horrible day with my family and came home to start the process, she decided to go habe drinks with her friends, was for the best, I was already upset at my day. When she came home, we had it out and I pushed her to tell me the truth if she wanted to breakup with me or not, she said she wanted to stay together. Went to bed, my buddy sent me a mssg telling me he heard her talking about leaving me, and in was prett upset again, we talked, she assured me it was ok, she was just venting.she went out again, 2 days to move... this is nothing like her at all. And she didn't come home until the last day to move. We got along and got in bed, and I wanted to habe one last good night together and put my moves on her. But since she got the birth control implant a year ago her libido was eliminated, I tried and tried she refused. I went in the bathroom told her I was gonna just jerk it.. sat down and cried like a little bitch... She came and saw me, so the last sex we had was fucking pity sex.... so I took her shit (my shit) to her new place, moved her in, filled up her fridge and set her up. She was suppose to help with the rest, but didn't. So I moved the rest of everything by myself and stayed all night and all day and night the next night cleaning. Moved out. She wanted me to help her with her new rent and deposit with my deposit, I told her hell no. Told her we need a break. She agreed. About 4 days into the break (She contacted me throughout) she asked if i could stop by, i knew what for. She still denied it. But yeah when i got there, she finally told me, and I told her how fucking used I felt. She waited till I moved her out and set her up so she felt secure enough that she felt she didnt need me anymore. It was pretty messy. I love her too much so much it was unhealthy. And I still did for her after the breakup, she said we can be good friends like before we were romantic. And I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. There's alot I'm missing and leaving out, but yeah, she got me wrapped around her finger and she won't even put in a friends effort.. About donem

No contact works... usually. I’ve usually been disappointed when I have broken it. I feel men or women *do* need time to breathe and feel the loss and to miss. When I break no contact it’s usually months later (once I waited 5 months and then I messaged a letter via post). People definitely cannot have someone else change their minds or hearts. Time and distance and the lack does that. I do feel to some degree no contact is a game but it’s a better long term bet. I have never gone back to a guy just cuz he wanted if I was really and truly done but I have gone back or messaged when I’ve done the breaking up if I missed them and they were happy and moved on with their life. That’s higher value: to be just fine. I notice you say at end of your video “active” no contact so it does seem like you still have people engage in some sort of no contact. No contact is even good so people can ground themselves and remember individually who their partner was as well as them self.

For example if I get my license out here how am I supposed to show her my changes if she can't really find out herself. I'm trying to write a letter in an effort to re-establish contact with her because I haven't gotten a response in the 4 days from now where I contacted her first. What am I supposed to do? I constantly feel like I should be in person with her. Not miles away unable to show her my successful life changes.

How you gonna wait for your ex to contact you first when they broke up with you. Don’t be mad at them for taking the high road and having enough love and respect for them selfs. They obviously left you for a reason, so now it’s up to you to changed her mind and get her back.

Hi SJ, There is nothing wrong if you would initiate the contact. As long as you are detached from any form of outcome and is in acceptance for whatever result of the attempt to reach out to him. It all goes back on your intent why you wanted to reach out to your ex. All the best.

Hi Clay, my ex told me “he lost connection”, “no spark anymore”, “ You deserve better”, he “can’t give me what I want & deserve”, & he “wishes I’d meet someone else”. It’s been 6 mos NC & I gave him a hand written letter last week. He’s dating the woman he claimed he didn’t like or even respect after they were caught having takeout dinner at the park after declining an invitation to my house last Summer when we were together. I told him she had a crush on him & he dismissed it. It seems that he’s moved on and I am still crushed and shattered. Every day is a struggle. I’ve never been this heartbroken in all my 46 years. Please help, I’m drowning in grief and my poor kids are watching me, it’s so unfair to them.💔

Hi Nicole, We understand that the breakup can truly heartbreaking. It is important that you also take care of yourself and your kids as they also need your love and affected as much as it is with your ex. Try to do small things each day to make yourself feel good. It is by standing up from these set backs that will help us become more resilient. You have kids that needs you as well. Sending more positive energies on your end.

Hey clay, Thank you so much for your advice it is so helpful durning my process of getting my ex back it’s been 10 days so far and she has reached out and said “ we have to talk” she FT and asked me if I cheated and gave her chlamydia I said no which I didn’t because I didn’t cheat and because I didn’t cheat I have nothing to lose by telling her the truth. Shortly after I told her it’s late and I have work in the morning and I can’t talk. I texted her ‘“ I’m going to the doctor to make sure I’m fine” she then text me “ if you can send your result that would be helpful” then several hours later posted her new boyfriend again in social media was this an attempt to reach out to me with a poor excuse as a conversation starter?

My ex and I have been broken up for 3.5 months. He was telling people lies about something I said but I did not. He was putting stuff in his head making him believe it. All I just wanted was time with him and he would always be drinking till 2am. He was going through stuff financially and at home. I begged and pleaded but realized I had to take a step back and focus on myself. Both of us needed it. He was acting and showing how happy he was being single. Recently my brother in law which is his friend said he started smoking, drinking more and ignoring everyone. Could he now be regretting it? Since our break up I have been focusing on myself. I don’t think he would ever reach out first due to his ego but Is it best to reach out to him or let it go?

i broke up with him because of distance and for space, i didnt want to i like him alot. he reached out to me 2 weeks later for a call, but i was suspicious of his motives and i ended up asking him why did you contact me and rantign about school, then he messaged 'just cause were not dating anymore doest mean we cant be friends'. then day later i found out hes hooking up with this girl he hid the fact from me by saying its a friend and lied and then later he admitted it to me hes been hooking up with her saying he seeing her reffering to it as 'friend with benefits' and that i was after i dumped him.... he approached her. but the thing is suspicious being so couply and posting a girl youve just started seeing hes angry i watched her story even thought he had tagged and ultimately i was led to seeing it. he was annoyed about and that my friend and i had both watched it making me feel bad about it saying its psycho. we got in an argument.... he was like even when i reached out to you as a friend you ranted about school and didnt ask me how i was, i feel like you use me to exhuast your insecurrites and stresses and dont value me. this is what he said, he was saying this and many thing i couldnt tell if he was pulling the victim card and trying to divert from the fact that hes seeing someone so soon and not only that but he lied to me when i first asked about her. it was left on a ' i dont think really want to talk to you now' point he made me feel really bad. i dont understand why he said the thing about us being friends? and im not sure if i shoudl reach out to him or just let it be .... i have school assigemtns this happned 2 days ago, my birthday and deadlines coming up soon, should i just leave it? i feel foolish, cause i told him i still loved him and was like why can e just have our chance for the future

I don't think it matters who contacts who first, it more of how they're contacted. If you give each other some no contact time, (avoiding damage control mode/high emotions and words you regret later or immediately) you allow each other to really reflect on the situation/relationship. Better odds of rekindling, or just getting along after the hardship. No body likes someone coming on too strong after feelings of disdain, and also doesn't help the relationship to heal if both are at a stalemate with each other.
@ClayAndrews

Okay, so let's say a "no contact" period had been in order. Both us of missed we other and spent time together, then he hits you with the "i still dont think we'll work" then follows up with "but I don't not want you in my life" mind you says this while staying at his place. No sex was involved (due to person things)...like some serious mixed things going on....

I have only heard things from his aunt how much he is misses loves me and eventually we may get back but why isn't he contacting me? He is known to be extremely hard headed as well as myself I have a pride thing that I don't want to feel like I am giving in and he has the say of the relationship. He had unblocked me from fb and I saw a few things he had tagged to his aunt seems like he is hurting and trying to heal he is also working a lot is what I heard., I am not sure. I have no idea what to do we are both stubborn and I want to reconcile. What do I do??

Bull shit. If they walked out on you. They need to crawl back to the dumpee. If they don’t call you or text you. Move on with your life because if they really cared, and loved you. They wouldn’t have left. Love yourself not others because at the end of the day, you’re all you have. ( Besides family ). Your happiness counts. If they wanted to change, and need space why is breaking up their only option?. Exactly you deserve more, and better than them. You can’t change for your ex, and them. But you can take control of your life, and decide what path you want to follow. NEVER BE ANYONES BACK UP PLAN. They left for a reason. God bless you all. One love. 💯

I actually have a question about no contact.. I've been wondering if it works on short term relationships. To put it in to context, my ex and I broke up after knowing each other and dating for around 6 months. We broke up because of his fear of being hurt and told me, "I have hope for us.. just maybe when we've both become better people. I don't want anything with you right now. Not until I've either lost feelings or am ready." I want to respect the fact that he needs space and have been but am unsure of whether or not giving him a month is appropriate.

Hi InfernetBIZZLE, If you are waiting for your ex to contact you and getting impatient about it, then you may be doing Passive No Contact. In our course, we advocate the practice of Active No Contact. Meaning we do the active approach instead of waiting for things to happen or let our ex do the initiating. Maybe it is best that you work on the Advanced Relational Skills that we talk about inside our course so you would be able to work on the different life skills like communication, awareness and composure. :-) All the best.

Clay, he pushed me away.. We are in LDR for more than 4 years... He started lying to me, chat with many girls, even planned for an immoral meet up with a prostitute.. but despite all these, I forgave him.. He constantly tell me "Why do you still stay, I am no good for you." I always forgive him, to the fact that when I bring up the topic of walking away, he just laugh at it and saying... "You've told me that many times and you're still there." until one day my father died.. All the pain killing me, I decided to just make his words real and I walked away... After a month, I entertained a man which is he is so jealous with in the past simply because the guy is a Godly-man (which is so compatible with me) and the guy posted my picture in his profile and my ex saw it.. He contacted me saying, I am a user.. and all of sh*t talk.. I didn't respond and he said lastly.. "Sorry, enjoy your life daily." Then after another month, he made a RU-vid channel named "Jae GoldDigger" and he humiliates my new guy via commenting on my videos saying he is not a Godly man, he is satanic and all. After he does that, he never ever used social media again.. I am single, I just entertained the guy but not really take it to the next level of serious real relationship. I walked away, because he was so immature and he wants to do all he wants and it's beyond my control.. He needs to be free, I love him.. but I have to let him go... It's a total of 5 months.. I just always pray for him, hoping he is okay, praying for his protection and peace of mind.. I want him happy.... I still know and believe he is a good man, he just makes bad decisions in life... Sometimes I am hoping he will contact me... but I will never initiate the contact, even so I love him... I'll just trust the process, improve and love myself, focus on my career and be a better version of me... PS : I am 7 years older than him, which I bet is a big factor.

I ended things with him. I didn’t necessarily want to but I was getting frustrated with his insecurities. The day I ended it he called me 40 times in less then 2 hours we spoke but it was arguing. Well it’s been 10 days with no contact. We are not friends on Snapchat anymore, haven’t been for a month now but he did send me a message on Snap the day I ended it. When we were together and friends on Snapchat he never viewed any of my stories I posted which was like only 2 or 3. But since I ended things I have posted about 4 things on Snapchat in the last 10 days most recent was yesterday and I make it so everyone can see it. He has viewed all my stories. I also changed my bitmoji outfit yesterday and I added a black winter hat to my bitmoji. Well he viewed the video I posted yesterday and he also changed his bitmoji outfit and put a gray winter hat on his. I wonder if he is trying to get my attention. Since I ended things with him should I be the one to reach out to him? I am so scared to contact him, I don’t want to come off desperate. Ppl keep telling me if a man cares about a woman he won’t let her go and if he cares he will show it, he wouldn’t be not contacting you. But since I ended it does that really apply?

Hi Jessica, it wouldn't matter who would reach out first, whether it's you or him.

Clay would not agree but a few other dating guru types would suggest you STOP contacting her. Give her time to miss you and wonder why you've suddenly stopped contacting her. Even if its just because of curiosity, she might eventually reach out to see why you have suddenly gone quiet. There are no guarantees but as you have been contacting her and it has made no difference, why not try something else. It might take a long time before she gets in touch and she might never get in touch, so use this time to work on yourself so you know you will be fine no matter what happens. Good luck to you.

@@Riffs88 hmm no contact for 30days is the norm i think. Beyond that it is up to u? I lasted for 5 weeks before reaching out. Then it was just dealing with her childishness made me kind of regret haha

Guys get a grip horrible truth unless you were an arsehole male or female you deserve it but if the dumper walked off without even trying to save your relationship or even try and say this is wrong etc etc, stop being desperate let them go use no contact for you, to be a better I dependant you, coz if they haven't reached out then you don't and even if they do so they doing it for power, give your self a few months, no contact is awsome if used correctly, I'm better for it in fact I've got to the point where I'm not really bothered about the other person, I'm better for it.. Truth a lot of the time getting back with your x is trying to hang on what was, no! Embrace what is now, not yesterday, stop chasing the person who walked out, you don't need them to move on. You are not going to be attractive if you are always dependant on someone else, use no contact to be better to be attractive relationship material, to be a confident you..

Hi Romello, First if the relationship is abusive, you have to evaluate if the dynamics would truly be healthy for both of you. Though you want your ex back, you have to work on the deeper issues that lead to that type of dynamics.

Geez why do you people want to go back in an abusive relationship?!? You’re just asking for more problems and heartache unless you both seek help to see why you’re being abusive in the first place!

How do you really establish the contact again? I reached out to my ex after no contact. We had a good evening. He said: it was fun, see you next time. I asked what that meant. He answered: two - three weeks or something. We broke up two months ago. I keep repeating the same pattern. How do you get past that? I can start texting about positive fun things, but then I'm always initiating contact. I can wait, but then I'm repeating no contact all over again.

Hi Josie, Try to vary your approach and be in the present moment. Instead of being constricted and following a particular stiff rule. Let loose and show your true personality in your interactions. All the best.

​@@ClayAndrews Your answer means a lot to me, thank you for your time! Because of you I reached out after no contact instead of the endless waiting, which indeed does not feel like you gain power.

Okay. My ex dumped me about four months ago and I have this strong feeling that he wants to reconnect but fears being rejected which I guess I understand. I’ve applied no contact ever since the breakup. I’m not saying him fearing rejection as an excuse by all means it’s just I feel like we’ve both improved and changed. I know that breakups are different but I feel like we both weren’t really expecting such a strong connection and we both just didn’t handle the relationship in the best of ways. It was not toxic though. Trust me if it was I wouldn’t be here 💀💀So should I contact him or wait? 😩 I want everyone’s opinions

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to write to us. As a part of our advocacy on making an active approach, it wouldn't matter who would initiate the contact. If you feel that you are emotionally ready to handle any form of outcome and is detached from any form of expected results, then you can initiate the contact. The first attempt of contacting our ex is for us to gauge where they are at emotionally. All the best

@ClayAndrews
@ClayAndrews 5 лет назад
If this is what you. are currently experiencing, I'm sorry. I can't even imagine what it must be like. But you also need to take responsibility in what happened. What caused you to crash your car? What caused you to drive while intoxicated? What caused you to lose your job? And are any of these circumstances related to her leaving you? I know you're going through a tough time, so I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh, but maybe this string of events showed her a side of your character that she decided that she didn't want in her life. If that is the case, getting her back will require you to get some things in your life back on track.

He's right. The person I dumped never replied me because they were doing bullshit no contact even when I said hi here and there in those 30 days because they were thinking they are gonna make me miss them. Yes I missed them but because of this teenage bullshittery I didn't want my ex anymore permanently and I completely forgot about them until they started messaging me on day 45. I was ready dating someone else then. No contact is bullshit ntalk to your ex like a mature person don't try to manipulate them with mind games

that is quite a complicated situation. Being involved with a married individual can be tough. It's because there could be marital problems that can be resolved.

Hi Chrissy, It can be a challenge if both of you are working together. Learn to separate your professional and personal relationships. If you are at the workplace, you still have to work with the person as a part of the team and focus most of your interactions at a professional level.
