==================
When you get mixed signals from your ex, you may initially wonder if they are doing this to toy with you, string you along, or just be cruel toward you in general.
I'm not saying that this is not possible. Indeed, there are definitely mean and cruel people in this world. But if that was the type of person your ex is, then you probably would have had an inkling of this during your time together (in which case, do you really want to get your ex back at all...?).
However, more common that your ex toying with you, your ex is simply just confused and trying to figure out exactly how they feel about you and how the two of you fit into each others lives.
Of course, you would probably love for them to make a decision right here and right now.
However, if your ex is confused, they are very unlikely to make any sort of decision that you would really be happy with in this state of mind.
So, what you want to do is to take the focus off of the commitment and off of the relationship. And instead, put the focus on the connection that the two of you share without worrying about where it's going to go or how it's going to work out.
After all, the commitment doesn't create the connection, but the connection creates the commitment.
And what you're probably looking for anyway is the emotional connection that you believe getting back together will bring to you.

Even though this video makes a lot of sense, it's too emotionally exhausting for me. I was the one who dropped my ex for good reasons. I hate this hot and cold thing. It's obvious that he's not willing to do the work that it requires to maintain and advance a long distance relationship. This is exhausting. He has put me through too much. I don't want this anymore. I feel like we love each other and we still have an emotional connection and deep feelings for one another but I don't want this at this time in my life. I don't do well with drama.

Hi Lynda, We understand that there are relationships that are worth fighting for and relationships that we have to let go of. If we feel that the relationship doesn't bring the best in us as a person, it is okay to assess if we have to let go or not. Sending more positive energies on your healing.

My ex that I still live with has been giving me mixed messages for a while. 2 weeks ago, he said that he wanted to live his life with me. He wanted to do lots of things, go out, visit new places etc. Then, the other day, he said that it was over. We had been out for drinks, he said he really enjoyed it and we need to do this at least once a month. I think it's because we had an argument, and I mentioned the woman he had an affair with.

How can I build an emotional connection when there is alot of drama in his life, and we just spend time talking about that? He is currently in a relationship with the woman he cheated on me with, but that's not the drama. He's been in this relationship for months! But still sees me regularly!
@ClayAndrews
@ClayAndrews 5 лет назад
Hi Anna, Do you both have a positive experience when you have that kind of conversation? If otherwise, and you feel like emotionally exhausted, then there's no emotional connection. Emotional connection is about relating to each other and having a quality of interaction.

Dear clay what you think about this situation ? my ex and i broke up 7 month ago she left me for been sure i cheated on her i tried 3 times to talk to her and she didnt even tried to listen to me 4 weeks ago i met her again and we talked she was kinda nice to me and still cold for the cheating part. we walk together and kept talking then she invited me to her place and i kissed her after asking her permeation ? she replayed yes. 2 days later she called me to tell me theres no way we get together and she just want to me make sure i know this . i didnt panic but i was hurt and answered i know and even though i still working on my self and i dont think i can be with you either way ( "i am in control" ). "she told me even if i will die alone i will never get back to you" - you probably will say now "ouch" . then i saw her again that week 3 days later she was really upset had very bad day and i tired to say hello all i got was really cold from her . but i little bit pushed her ( not physically) and we talked and she shared why she like this . and again i got into her place and we talked . ( we had hurt and good talk in the same time ) the next week she told me last time we talk she forgot something at my place so i took it and putted it her mail box with little note says " i didn't forget had hard week hope things with you are better" . and little chocolate that say happiness . now this happen this week . she called me the same day to thanks me and we had nice chat for 10 mins . then 2 days later i walked to the park where i am doing my sports ( 1 thing to make me different) she saw me and came to talk with me we been 4.5 hours tougher. we really enjoyed each other time. she told me some one told her this " i will never meet agirl like her but she will never find a guy who will lover her more then i am " i didnt say anything just smiled . and she even said this ( this part i am afraid of but as you said it could be only BS ) she said i finally feel we closed the circle between us . she meant that we didnt talk and now it feels ok to talk with each other. she still say what shame we cant be together for the reason she cant trust . but in the same time she say people told me never say never , she still hugs me if i hugs her ( i need to make the move) she do hugs me with lot of petition . she offer me to make food for me and other stuff . yesterday i saw her again we talked and it felt like friends but i didnt feel any heat or cold more like "ok" . we did end up again in her place she again offered to make me food and all i feel like i making progress ( from not talking to each other to the point she invites me in ) . i know it will not happen in a day ( getting back ) i know it will take time i know she got feelings for me if not she will not do all this stuff and more she will not let me touch her and hug her . she even ended our last words we will talk again next time we meet, hope you can reapply me soon best regards edi

How long does the wall of resistance last? My ex has broken up with me 3 times in two years. And cut complete contact and then months later he contacts me. He’s done that before and gave me mixed signals. We’re on 3 months of no contact and it’s really hard.
@ClayAndrews
@ClayAndrews 5 лет назад
The Wall can last as long as it needs to last until the connection is positive enough to pull your ex out of that stage. It's not a factor of time, but a factor of emotional connection.

Now i am confused, i want him back but i don’t think i can stand to be just a friend. I need help for just one couching session what to do.

Hi Clay. My Ex said he doesn't have will power to do all fixing up relationship stuff. He said we are not compatible means no future between us. He agreed with all things I explained, agreed about anything which was wrong in our relationship. but those didnt change his mind to keep broken up with me. I tried to do active no contact, he responds me good in chat, he said I'm above friend but not his kind of person for kinda bare bones or some sort. I'm tired. he builds defenses. I tried to build the emotional connection, but I think I need to figured out to fix my emotional connection with myself first. I hope everything will be better. I'm tired with his hot and cold behaviour, I even worry if he is an unemotional available.

Hello Clay! My ex broke up with me a couple of months ago, we recently started texting again and we met up as well, i felt like we had some good connections. The thing is, he told me a couple of times that he doesnt know if we're ever gonna get back to how we were before but he wants us to at least be friends, and he always emphasizes on the "at least" as if that's the minimum he wants to be. This makes me wonder if he has expectations, expectations on feeling a certain way when we're together, and if he does wouldnt that kind of stop the flow of emotional connection? Is there some advice you can give me? Thank you so much Keep up this amazing work, it's been really helpful 😊

We were in no contact for 2 and half months. He went back to his ex. But in 2,5 months he found out I was ill and called me. Then when we met at the stairs(live in the same apt building) he really smiled. Then he called on my burthday. Didn't want to end the call. Next day came for a signature I had to give to some document. Was smiling all the time. Took the pen from my hand in such a way, that he almost took my hand. Then next 2 days it's like I don't live on the planet earth anymore.🤦‍♀️ Any advice?🙏

Hey Chloe, so me and my baby daddy broke up five months ago and I establish no contact for a while we do have kids as of recently. He had asked me to drop the kids off or to come outside to talk to him. Keep in mind I haven’t seen him for a while in person, nor have I really talk to him, when we hung out, he was basically saying he missed me. He called me baby by accident. He was bringing up nostalgia memories and follow me on. TikTok started looking at all my stuff my profile, and he tells me when we hung out that he is not with that girl and he was stupid. He was just trying to get at me . He then posted a video of him and her on his TikTok the day after he followed me then I unfollowed him. She unfollowed me and deleted the video and now I am blocked. I don’t understand what happened.

Hello, i had a 19years relationship that came to an end a month ago after a big fight that made me walked away frm him with my kids, after 2 weeks we decided to get back home, but found out that he is having an affair, he is currently staying with his new girlfriend, he said he doesnt love me anymore, he just visit home to see the kids. Is there any chance that we can still be together in our present condition.? Thank u
@ClayAndrews
@ClayAndrews 4 года назад
Hi Sabrina, The chance will always be there but it will depend on the thing that you wanted to work on and refuse to do. There might be a lot of factors that you have to consider as well. So it is not for us to really define what may happen in the future. But the things that you would be doing in the present moment will affect the future outcome.

I took all of my social media account down. Not for my ex but for me. I kept snapchat. I'm friends with her friends. They keep posting pictures of her. There's no communication. I haven't tried to communicate with her. Last time was a week ago because I needed my keys. That was it. But it irritates me because why act like that?! Why is that happening?

First of all, good for you for taking a "social media fast." That sort of thing can be incredibly beneficial and it can really help to restore balance to your life.

My ex and I usually communicate daily. We are long distance at this moment. There are times she says she loves me. Even says things that she believes in our future. To have a family and make a life. Says even with my flaws. We are all human and she doesn't need a role model man. That love is more then that and she will keep choosing me. That i am the 1 for her. She tells me she loves me. Sometimes alot. Then there's other days i will say I love you. She responds with out saying I love you too and acts more like a friend or a stranger. She says even through our problems she never changed her mind about me. But sometimes it seems that she's not sure. There are men chasing her. Seen as i left the state. She has told me about them and that she let them know her heart is taken. It's really confusing sometimes. And i wonder if maybe 1 of these men take her attention sometimes and that's why we go from loving to friends. We been through alot together. Almost 2 years of this relationship. She seems so sure of me. Extending open responses with assurance. But sometimes it's like I don't exsist. Very confusing. I need advice

She is still married ( over45 years) but filed for divorce. . He is emotionally very connected and I know still loves me.. I stay no contact and working on myself but every time he reaches out I literally get sick and not being able to function normally. . I am hurting emotionally and physically. Any advice from anyone?

Hi Naira, It seems like your husband may be in the Riding the Dragon phase that is why he is showing some mixed signals. We understand that the separation might be emotional still for you so you have to check where you may be on your personal stage. But it seems like you may be at the Damage Control mode and would take some more time to work on healing. All the best.

I'm so confused. So I broke up with my gf about 3-4 weeks ago, we spoke for a couple days after the break up then I applied no contact then yesterday she contacted me sent me a big para, she started by saying that she started talking to a guy a couple days ago but, she also was holding back on it in a way, she said she would be lying if she didn't have feelings for me and that she does she also said she didn't contact me during the period we wasn't speaking bc she was really upset. Then near the end of it she said that she doesn't know if the guy is what she"needs and wants right now" then she said that she misses talking to me bc we were together nearly 2 yrs and she said that she doesn't want to "lose me as a friend" and wishes to "communicate in a way we are both comfortable with". The last bit she said was "I just want my best friend back❤️". I do want her back but the missing me bit and then cancelling it out with the "friends" bit is confusing.
@ClayAndrews
@ClayAndrews 4 года назад
Hi Gabriel, There are two phases that you need to understand about being friends. #1. You can't be friends with your Ex --- when you haven't fully healed from the breakup because if you do not do active no contact and continue to reach out to your ex as a friend, you wouldn't be able to help for you to have an ulterior motive in getting your Ex back. Your Ex will notice this and might eventually go to reactance because your ex will see that you are still not over her. When you have done ANC and have regained emotional balance:#2. Being friends (AT THIS STAGE) with your Ex will help because it will help you to reach out with your Ex and be able to show your Ex how much you have changed.

At first I wasn't sure what to make of you Clay, but now I like you. Do you know why I like you? Because you're truthful. Do you know how I know you're truthful? You say you're not a "holier than thou" person, and I believe that's true. And do you know why I believe that's true? It's because you're giving relationship advice, to a bunch of dim-witted desperate losers who cling to their ex and want their ex back and whine about their ex and their ex this and their ex that. Guys, do yourself a favor and get over your ex. I don't care what it takes. I don't care whom you have to kill. Get over your ex! Remember, there are many MANY other women in the world. Many women.

Thanks for your kind words, drunkjk. Healing is truly important in any decisions when it comes to getting our ex back. Some would cling into that little hope as long as they could as that motivates them to pursue what they are hoping for. But letting go of that control and understanding the type of relationship that will make us happier without putting our ex in the pedestal will eventually take us to the relationship that we all deserve, whether it will be with our ex or with someone else in the future.

@ClayAndrews
@ClayAndrews 5 лет назад
Hi Nana Fobi Owusu, Emotional connection is not just about saying the right things or talking about feelings or personal stuff. But it is about the experience that you both had after an interaction. If both of you can relate well to each other, enjoying each others company, had those positive dynamics, it can be considered having a positive emotional connection. It is about the quality of the experience that two people had in a particular interaction. All the best.
