The Do's And Don'ts Of Communication 

Have you guys ever noticed that people dislike a video before they even watch it? Give the video a thumbs up for Margaret’s hard work on this one!

I love how Coach Craig respects and defers to coach Margaret. He shows true respect and value for her. They such a good team. Coach Margaret is a gem. She's like Google.

Thank you Coach Craig and Margaret. You both have so much knowledge. Craig, I agree you’ve always been so respectful towards Margaret. Your kindness shows. We were so lucky to have had Margaret while we did. You two have helped so many people. Thank you. Thank you.

I texted “ouch” to my partner last month! Lol and actually it was well received, he responded that he didn’t mean for his response to be hurtful and it completely deescalated our exchange. I thought long and hard before sending the “ouch” response- it seemed like the safest and most gentle way to express how I felt.

This is one of my favorite videos of you two together. Just the friendship you have and love for one another. You made me laugh several times. Great info too. Thank you so much ❤️

I really love you both! So knowledgeable & compassionate. It was because of you, I survived my breakup this year. My angels! Many blessings to you!

Hello Craig & Margaret, this is one of the best & most important videos you have made. I wished I had have known this advice when with my boyfriend. A great man who I love dearly, but he broke up with me in the last 6 weeks due to breakdown in communication with examples you mentioned. I've found your excellent channel & been watching & learning so much. I've gone no contact & respecting his wishes since he ended it. Have not heard from him but i don't want to break no contact as he was the one to end it. I really hope he reaches out & we can sit down & talk & really listen to each other & resolve things, as there was so much good in our relationship & he is the one. Thank you again for all you do. X

Love you guys! Y’all know how to make us feel at ease and right at home!

One of the most informative videos on the whole channel right here!

Wooooow! I'm blown away. Thank you, Margaret for your insight and tips! I'm going to watch this video over and over.

Can you guys do a video on whether you SHOULD want your ex back? I worry that even if he does come back, it will be because it's failed with someone else or because he's bored or lonely, not because he genuinely thinks he's made a mistake. Is it a sign of insecurity to take an ex back AT ALL? Obviously my ideal scenario is that he was mixed up and after months apart, he's struggled without me and realised his own stuff was getting in the way of us, rather than the problem being me. Yeah right...

You both are precious people Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been forwarding your videos to my son and daughter. My son is a Marine left all his girlfriends when he wants I feel sorry for the girls. My daughter had co as coachings with Margaret already. The father left us my son was 3 and my daughter 8 months. No father figure until now 34 yrs later . You saved us

Awh margaret, miss you 💜 rest in peace, you made such an impression on so many people, even those who never personally met you like me!

Coach Craig your so fantastic at your job that’s why I am going to call you mr. fantastic

I have a very bad temper... This video has been very helpful and I will do just what you advised. Thank you Margaret and Craig.

You guys are the best. I'm so proud of you two. I'm learning so much from your Chanell. It took me 61 years to figure this out because of you two...I will forever be grateful😅 thank you sooooo much!!! Blessings my friends. Btw I go to sleep every nite listening to you guys!

Thank you for this video. Communication WAS one of my biggest down falls for numerous reasons. Communication will no longer be a fear of mine. I will validate my partners thoughts, feelings and emotions; as well as validate my own thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Geesh where was this video five months ago. I wish I could be better at this. I really miss my person and I noticed a lot of this in my relationship.

Thank you Margaret and coach Craig . You both are truly amazing and I watch your videos every day . They help me in all aspects. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos

You two are awesome....every word you both say has lots to do with our relationships!! You are the first to get on U Tube and explain in detail why relationships don’t work and how to work on yourself to be better on the next relationship or even the ex. Best relationships Doctors ever!!

It felt like Margaret is scolding me. I Do the Don'ts and Don't the Dos. Another great insight from the experts.

My estranged wife was massively negative and never complained. Complaining would have been nice but I'm guilty of not complaining enough too. She stopped expressing her needs but continued to expect me to meet them as they occurred. Full disclosure, I'm slightly avoidant and so was she. Though, she was initially anxious preoccupied. I wish we were in a good enough place to bicker. Haha. That sounds really strange.

Craig I learned so much from this. My ex and I have tied financial obligations and she won’t talk. She hasn’t talked for 7 months. What do I do??? I’ve tried to contact her and resolve these finances but she won’t....

Love this video! I really need this. I'm so thankful to have come across this, I just hope that I watched this months ago. No sense crying over spilled milk though. Love you both!

Great information guys.please more on communication with people who are easily offended.thanks.

Hi coach Craig, please make video on long distance relationship when ex is again in rebound relationship in another country and already married with him, even though she hasn't divorce me? I truly need to know about long distance relationship!!

OUCH This is brilliant Defensiveness and criruscm. We do it so unknowingly

I'm still having a hard time trying to understand how when a partner complains about how she feels in a relationship, how the listening partner is not supposed to feel hurt by that or take it personally? I think all of us would want our partner to be happy with us, and when you hear your partner complain all the time about how she isn't happy or you make her feel bad, it just hurts down to the core. I can only speak from personal experience but it just makes me feel like a failure especially if its just complaint after complaint after complaint after complaint with no end in sight no matter what you say or do. Is it just me or does anyone else feel that sort of situation just gets exhausting after a while? Especially when its the same thing and the origins of it are not connected to your behavior, personality or anything like that.

Good video and great tips to learn in every day life and what to work on with your ex when they come back.

Great video bro

Love you both! Thank you again for a fine, fine video. Rob

Margaret, you are the best!

Loving Margaret!!! You,too, Craig!!❤

You guys r great together

Dynamic duo

Thank you for all the tips! I have written them down :) I have a question of, if the same issues keep coming up on how to resolve them without them bringing brought up again, in different situations but the same issue? In my relationships, they tend to go around in circles even if we have spoken in a calm environment :/ It is highly upsetting, as I try to be an adult and sort the issue, as I've learnt in my first relationship to not shout at your partner but start to talk hahaah But, same issue of the same issues getting circled. Thank you :)

Million dollar question.... How do we get our ex/partner to watch this too?.lol. Such good tips...

Today I realized the truth about the thing coach says " we are attracted to familiar". I asked my mom today, "do my dad is like your(mom's) dad?" . She replied"yes,your grand father was exactly like him. You dads behavioir reminds me of your grandfather". OMG!!

Craig doesn't stand a Chance arguing with Margaret 😂

Thank you Margaret! 😊

I once used “I” statement with someone and I was considered as ‘self-obsessed and selfish’ 😁

I really like Margaret Keep her in your videos

Hi Craig, Can you do a series of videos on neurotipical people in relationships with someone on the Asperger's/autistic spectrum. As these are a little different from your normal relationships many thanks

You both make a great combo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thumbs up to Mommy Margaret ❤️

Man, the first one. Calm down before a fight. I said some horrendous stuff at me ex just to hurt her. I deeply regret these things. I actually would try to walk away from the argument to avoid saying stuff I didn’t mean but she would always follow me around the apartment or block the door so I couldn’t leave and I would get angrier. Just awful. After our break up she would only bring up things I said. But never owned up to her chasing me around instead of letting me cool off.

Wonderful video and oh my old boyfriend's cousin unblocked me well it said this person is not available at this time and he moved it off of messager...💙☺😊

Sometimes i lash out before thinking , my anxiety takes over just like it did the other night which I haven’t done in years . Coaches you be disappointed in me !🤦‍♀️

Its hard not tot react to someone verbally attacking you when their anger comes out of nowhere.

I’m in the process of not speaking with my now ex I guess, we never actually broke up but maybe it’s me lying to myself, I think she just wanted me to stay in her life but she wasn’t in love with me anymore. Anyway looking back on the last couple relationships I’ve had where they left me out of the blue. I always thought it was them that they were liars that they didn’t do it they said they were going to do. But I now know that it was actually me. I push them away with my love i’ve always gone about relationships well I thought it was being an adult, not playing games like instead of giving them anxiety giving them reassurance that I love them and I’m not going anywhere for any reason. And they all love that but they all end up leaving. I realize now and it’s pretty fucking frustrating. But it was all me I wouldn’t stop texting them until they basically said don’t ever talk to me again. Until they ran off and started fucking someone else. Well thank you Craig. Just hearing all of this, it’s like an awakening. It’s almost made me feel better. It’s kind of giving me closure like I was so confused why she left, I didn’t understand why but now I am 100% know it was me. Armed and equipped with this information I will never ever be heartbroken like this ever again. From now on I’m gonna do the heartbreaking. Muwahahahahsha

I was engaged to be married after 6 years of being together. My ex wife passed away which left my kids homeless. She didnt want my kids so I had to choose between her and my kids. I choose my kids! She dating again by the way after 2months. Lol Our last conversation she bringing up new friend to me. So I decided to just tell her to leave me alone. I felt like I made the right choice.

So I know my ex will never contact me again. She deleted my number and doesn't remember phone numbers. She doesn't have social media. I guess there is no hope unless I reach out one day.

i love you guys

Does anyone know if medication can help with the obsessive thoughts I have about my ex??

Margaret is like aunt in my head that everyone wish to have

Margaret

Can Margaret adopt me as her grandson?

My gf left me after 3 year because she find a rich man ...and I was in turmoil

A heart beats 60to 100 beats a minute by the way, if you complain too much to your partner he’ll call you oh you’re nagging again!!

This was really basic stuff. I mean who does not know this? I was just hoping for something extradinary, mindblowing awesomeness!

Nobody wants to listen to too much complaining , they will walk right out of the door!

All of videos takes so long and doesnt get to the point
