Don't Make The Breakup Easier Your Ex 

Coach Craig is amazing at what he does. When we did a Skype, he knew exactly what I was going through and helped reassure me that things would be fine. Also, on his second statement, he guessed that I was adopted, and then my ex messaged me twice 5 minutes into our session, we were both mind blown and had a great laugh about it. Thank you Coach Craig for all your help!!!

It's so hard to be angry with someone you're convinced that you love unconditionally, but sometimes anger is what we need to be able to cope.

That is such a betrayal of trust. You will never be able to trust this person 100% again. She deserves much better.

Made the mistake of trying to be friends after. Only ended up hurting me. Don’t do it for your own mental health.

My ex and I broke up back in May and I’ve been sending him texts for months to get back together and it got to the point he didn’t reply anymore. After 5 months I decided to give myself my own closure and erase myself from that situation and move on. No more hopes, no more chasing and no more suffering. Just working on myself everyday to become a better me! 🥰

you are the only channel I didn't unsubscribe after 1 months post break-up. you're very true.

She came back after a month of no contact. I’ve been working on my self and continuing to do so. Thanks coach for the videos

“Throw the other dog out” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Craig and himself again! I just love it!❤️

Thanks for this one! Perfect timing. This helps me hold on to my resolve to stay in no contact. When I heard this video, my ex’s parting words flooded my memory of how resolved & shut down he was to “move on”, how he was happier without me. Okay, DONE ✅ I gave him the gift of my absence since he didn’t appreciate my presence. My head is strong, my heart still longs for what we shared. Craig, listening to your videos helps me continue to hold onto my self-respect ‼️thanks, again 🙏

Excellent and professional advice here. God be with you Craig 😉

Thank you so much for doing a video about discerning when we should convince ourselves we do NOT want our ex back. It can be so, so hard when we love them, but their behavior is just not conducive to building a healthy, loving relationship no matter what we change/try. The reminder to tap into anger/allow myself to feel angry is so timely and important. I think I've suppressed that part of me (made it taboo) since childhood.

I am amazed by people who view their breakups like this lady. I learn what "not" to do by observing other people as well...

This was so great!!! Just love it!!!

I was introduced to this chanel by an amazing chick. She blessed me with this knowledge and i could never repay her for this blessing.

What a horrible situation. Mine is much worse, and I’m now at the point where I’m asking myself why would I even want him back. Cheaters and liars have no regard for how they destroy ppl or the soul-searing trauma that they cause.

Once a cheater always a cheater, don't try to salvage relationships like this one, you better off with someone else

The ex said erase my number, block me! So , done . I’m off to a new day, Coach Craig is so right in all ways, thank you so much ❤️

Such an interesting break down! This lady would do well not to tolerate being treated like that...

O. M. G - this was exactly the same situation with my ex. He pulled the friendship card and still wanted to live together and share the same bed. Eventually I couldn't continue it so I had to kick him out. That was the only time I saw him upset

Craig, 8 weeks ago my wife suddenly left me after living together for 31 years. She want to start a new life without me and the kids. She bought a motorbike, tattoo and so on. Clear signs for a woman of 54 (MC). I'm in no contact phase right now, difficult, but find a lot of support from your video's. Thanks.

All this living and moving with her gives me using vibes. She's the provider in the relationship.

Wish I watched these videos when I was going through my breakup!

Once they have done it once,they will do it again,i honestly believe that this guy seems to lack empathy,you deserve so much better

I lost a friend of 15 years over some shadiness as we were coworkers. He's dead to me...she should drop that zero

I know I’m two years late to comment, but the whole “friendship” stuff is one of the most repulsive things an ex can do. Maybe this would have been a bad move, but if my ex insisted on living together _and_ remain friends (he wanted to be friends and I rejected), I think I’d blow up at him and say some pretty cruel things. This woman deserves so much better.

Well I did make the break up hard, and my ex moved to the other side of the world..

I just caught my gf lying to me for the second time. I hate seeing her stuff in my apartment it's heart breaking and sad and my anxiety is uncontrollable currently.

Hah, too late for me. I never wrote the hand written letter, but I did cry and plead. Still, I never heard back from her for almost two years. I Wish I’d known this a long time ago. But fuck it, life goes on and learning from your mistakes and living your best life is the best revenge ever. 💪🏽

I’m latina and there’s no way I could keep my cool and allow him to stay all those months after that betrayal.. wtf!!! I would’ve thrown his shit to the street

Yup I kept the dog and he’s gone...I let him visit his dog with very little conversation

3.5 months of no contact with ex wife other than one time she asked me to take her daughter from her 2nd marriage (separated), I was #1, to cheer because she had to work late. I really didn’t talk to her when she got there to pick her up. She said thank you, I nodded and left. It’s really tough, I thought we really had a shot at making things right.

incredibly disrespectful that he was doing all that WHILE living with her. similar thing happened to me. if affection is lost, that's one thing, but conscious deception over a period of weeks / months... that is simply cruel and emblematic of poor character. leave the relationship like a man / woman and show some honor to your prior partner

We had an argument, she told me to pack my stuff and i left, i wrote a message three days later she replied saying its over. I’ve been in nc ever since it’s been just over 4 months now. She looks sad in her pics. Should i reach out?

I'm in the same situation as that story you read except we're married for 12 years and we have an autistic son together and two weeks ago he was all over me love me we fix in our house put a new roof on and change countertops to update it cuz we were selling it to move to Florida and retire and then all of a sudden he said he was not happy and the spark was gone and he moved to be closer to his job which he said he hated that's why we were moving to Florida and he was transferring he had already put in his transfer so now he has an apartment an hour away closer to his job this blind side in me we never argue we get along great we have great sex I have no clue what to do from here and me and my son are devastated and my son said he wanted nothing else to do with him. But he said we could be friends and he'll still help me with the house it wants to come and see our son which he is not our son's biological father But he has raised him but he was has the paperwork filled out to adopt him so I don't know what to do now

This exact story happened to my gf. She and I have a great relationship. She has introduced me to her family and I to mine. No fighting between us really. Problem is she recently broke up with me because it seems she still has a trauma from her past relationship. She tries her best. She goes to therapy, among other things. She’s awesome! But, she broke up with me saying she’s afraid of getting hurt again or hurting me. We’ve talked about how our relationship is not the problem, rather it seems she still has residual wounds to work on. What should I do?

I mean I did all of that in a day, I wanted to talk to him bc I felt guilty after telling him I was tired and done with him and his bullshit, that he needed to heal the trauma with his mom (the mom brought him from his home country to nyc and were living with her then boyfriend’s family but it was a mess, they treated her badly after they split up and she left him there bc he wanted to stay to wait for documents they needed and their relationship got damage by that and almost lost contact and he became independent at 15) and the lost of his grandpa which I now understand that it was a huge lost bc he was the only person who chose him, so I felt guilty but he reacted so mean and upset when we met up bc I went to his apartment to get my bag back (was funny to get it back bc I could never bring it back home bc every time I tried he would think I was trying to break up with him) he said that he changed for me and partners don’t change for their partners and that he completely changed for me (he was a good guy BUT I felt I was doing a lot, going to check on him, visits, dates, he barely visited and I was the one who had to do all of that) I gave him the handwritten letters I was writing for our anniversary of a year ( I was planning to give him the letters and then break up but he ended up breaking up with me through a phone call) but yeah I kind of pleaded but not to come back as I told him but to just clarify everything between us but he didn’t want to see me or hear me (I don’t understand why he acted that way, he wanted to break up with me a week before the phone call and everything seemed ok but his mother’s new boyfriend got surgery and he got distanced but he said he lost interest on me and he didn’t love me no more) so He unfriend of everything and he wanted to remove me from the root, right now I just decided to accept that, since the momento we split up I didn’t look for him, I unfriend him too, bc he let me follow him back and he was posting like crazy saying that he is back in the game and that he came back (after the death of his grandpa he said he wanted his old self back bc he felt empty and I used to say to him that that is not gonna happen but he can create a new self, a better self with what happened to him and what he learned from all of those emotions bc no one can bring the past back or try to be someone we used to be bc then we don’t grow as a person) I know he is not a bad person but it was a messy situation and I didn’t want to deal with that no more I was getting lost and started being anxious and I was like that in my first relationship and I didn’t want to repeat that again, not ever again. I was sad about the breakup but I know I did my best (he used to say he was depressed and I stayed with him bc my brother passed away due to depression and I got so worry even when his mom would be clueless about his psychological state, he was more like a father than a son, I think I stayed long enough to avoid any disaster but I’m happy I was able to breakup with that persona before losing myself trying to love him while he didn’t love me no more :) it’s been two months and I feel good, sometimes I miss the old memories but that’s all.

He fd around looking online and found something else... mine was living at my house and I did some digging and confronted him and he admitted it .. yeah he wants to keep the door open eh I beg to differ

My ex broke up with me a few days ago, and she’s already starting seeing other guys and I must continue to live with her for another three weeks (circumstances out of my control) do you think this will damage the chances of her reaching out to me when I start the no contact? She seems pretty happy and high spirited about what she’s doing and I’m just hurting whilst trying to act normal and kind around her

Update… on date 45 of NC and haven’t heard from her. Other than seeing a couple stories she had posted(i didnt view them) …. Losing hope :/

Ex wife told me goodbye when I told her I wasn’t interested in being just friends after spending a ton of time together the last 3-4 month’s…not good! I’m afraid she’s gone for good this time.

These are well known female gestures, however, men do not do that which explains why these strategies are not working. I am really curious to know what men really do to reconnect after a breakup.

My Ex is viewing all my Instagram stories almost as soon as I upload them. For some reason I feel like this is sort of breaking no contact as she can keep tabs on me?

You don't need four dogs there. Just the three 😂😂

Tell him he better call Tyrone!.....and he can't use your phone.

Sounds like the guy is going through a midlife crisis, which is a situation in which the wayward spouse often starts an affair and becomes narcissistic. A lot of the statements recounted in this video sound like those put in place to keep you tied in as narcissistic supply while he goes and obtains further supply elsewhere. It's a really tough situation and I hope you've been able to work yourself through this. It's extremely sad when our spouses do this, especially because it's because of their own low self-esteem and childhood traumas 🙁

Mr. Craig no contact is so tough it’s basically been a month since the break up and I’m trying to let go and just let what happens happen but it’s so tough

Hi Craig! Love your work! My partner just dumped me after 4yrs. Said he doesn’t know what’s going on in his life and has been depressed for the past few months and says he doesn’t know what’s going on with himself. Very up and down about saying things will be fine maybe we can still be friends or maybe things will go back to normal. he was at the point of going to talk to someone. He hasn’t been speaking to many of his friends since. Give me some insight please. I’ve not Spoken to him in a week as I don’t want to interfere we only split two weeks ago. Xo

She made contact a few days after no contact, did say she missed me but said she still needed space… and that we would text some other time..

Hi Coach Craig, I broke up with my bf today. 😪 We have been together for 1 year and we wanted to live together but he (muslim) says we need to get married first or else we can t live together. I feel that is manipulation. He knows I am not muslim nor am I interested in becoming one. And he knows that. I will not marry a man only to live together with him.

Could you please make a video for people who were wrongly accused of cheating?

Jeez this guy sounds just like my ex!! Why are they all the same!?!?

What if you have to do the break up even if you dont want to but because he is not ready for a commitment you have to walk away? Does the no contact work.still?

Indeed he is mean

She shouldn’t have been looking thru the house. She should have just dumped him and be done with it.

Why do neighbors stalk me

Love the channel. I feel that the same things are discussed often, though.

This story is heart wrenching. The pain and trauma he must have put her through. What a jackass! I truly believe in karma.

I really wish I can do a Skype coaching call with you but I just don't have the money 😢

Dr. Craig can’t you delete the posts from the scammers??

It's been a year since we last met, I've been waiting for him all this time, but we broke up, yesterday he came to my country, we are now in the same city but he didn't text me, this might be the last chance I see him Should I ask him to meet?

My ex girlfriend removed me from her social media two months ago. Should I send her a request to add me on social media? I really don't know what to do

PLEASE READ My ex reached out to me last Wednesday after 4 months of NC and she said she missed me and wanted to see me and talk to me, so I planned a meet up with her on Saturday, we meet and did some catching up it was short but fun, I didn't mention anything about our past relationship or break up or didn't act needy, was just positive. she was happy to see me and kept saying I've changed and was even touchy. After meeting she vanished till I texted her the next day telling her it was fun and would want to meet her again if she wants and she just replied with "Sure, thanks" and vanished. I don't know what to now. HELP

Women do this too to men.

That music brings back memories! Lol

i really hope this lady takes your advise its just a horrible situation

So my ex fiance broke up on April 1st. I kept in contact, texting, intimacy. He always texted back within minutes. I went into no contact July 5. It's day 56 today...at what point do I reach out?

Is it true no contact works less for women because their endless dating options in the current dating market?

Put him out! Keep the dogs. You don't need 3. He's gaming you just to live for free.

I am not sure if no contact is right for me. My ex and I broke up mutually but I alluded to it. It’s been over a week and I told him I wanted him back on Friday. He said he wanted to get back but wasn’t sure if it was the right decision and needed some time. But he was a great bf so I am not sure if I should keep fighting for the relationship if I alluded to it and it was mutual.

4 dogs! Get rid of one- Love it, it’s so true too, this guy’s awful!

He can live with his gf make a nice bonfire of his stuff

I’m still doing everything wrong

Ex came back calls me but all he talks about is sex last time he called me i didn't answer his calls now it's been two days he stopped calling me , is it worth it ? Should I even answer his calls ?im confused 😢😤

Why did he go live with the other chick? I would've told him to go live with her.

Sounds like this guy may have some Cluster B traits 😬

This guy is super foul!!!

❤️❤️

YES, I AGREE JUST LIKE MYSELF I TEND TO EARN MY EX AS WELL AS LEARN ABOUT HIM AND HE MY EX WILL LEARN MORE ABOUT ME AND EARN ME AS WELL.

This is total abuse !! In France I’ll say « on est bon mais pas con! » ( kind but not stupid !)
