I tried some new lighting today. Do you notice any difference?

To my fellow brothers, if she cheats on you or leaves you for another guy, it's her loss. The only interesting thing about the new guy is that he's new, and they'll almost certainly fall apart.

my ex told me straight to my face that she's dating someone else after no contact ☹️

After seeing all your videos watching Ross and Rachel go back and forth has a whole new level. 😂

I just recently found out that my ex, the woman I've been in love with for 10 years is pregnant with someone else. I ran into her in public and didnt know about it until that very moment. It was gut wrenching. We've been broken up for quite some time, but I always had hope that we'd get back together. I guess it's now official that I have to move on. It's tough. I feel depression creeping up and recently went on a binge that almost destroyed me. I have to keep my head high and try living a healthier life.

my ex is a bombshell and intelligent, resilient, soft spoken... I was anxious and needy. I'm not sure she will ever look back, even if this new relationship fails. I hate myself for the way I behaved. I had no idea what I was doing. now I'm moving away. I'm never going to see or hear from her again. I wish i could go back in time.

Coach, I just want to tell you that you're THE BEST out there. You're genuine, you know your stuff, and your work help saves thousands of relationships by teaching people how they can manage their anxiety and be a healthy partner in a relationship. The things you teach are invaluable! Thank you so much.

Make a video on how to meet new people after a breakup! Some of us are having problems with that 😂

If they lost their feelings for you and started a new relationship it can't be a rebound. My ex is in love with her. It's just passed a year. Now she doesn't want him anymore I don't know why and he suddendly unblocked me everywhere but he still love her and want desperately come back with her. I rejected his weak attempt because I never want him back. She was an old friend of mine! He treated me so badly during the relationship and he instead treated her as a princess. What else?

My ex started dating a new guy a week after she dumped me. I know its a rebound but I don't understand why rebounds are destined to fail. Like how do I even know that I wasn't a rebound? She was wrapped up in emotional trauma from her previous ex the entire time we dated. It's been a month and she's still with the new guy. Things have been hard

I really needed this video today! Thank you Craig.

Craig, thank you for all the amazing work you are doing for us! It's been half a year since the breakup while I was listening to your videos every day, and I just found out my ex has someone... So can you imagine, I don't feel broken-hearted at all, even tho I still love this person! I persive all that is happening as a life flow and in my sadness I see a possibility for further development. I couldn't imagine that such news would not break but empower me! I'm so grateful for the information you give, the effect really is golden 😂

I believe my ex is in a new relationship with this one guy, he was a friend during our relationship and is the complete opposite of me. We're nothing alike. I'm not sure whether it's a rebound, but the fact that I know this guy isn't as good as me makes me that much more confident. I know my own self worth and my friends have all agreed that it's such a downgrade.

Thank you very much, Craig! I’m in this situation and I honestly needed the last bit of advice. You’re right, why would you need someone like this in your life. Thank you!

Just found your channel . I am going through tough break up of four years . I know I don't make him happy. I'm always looking for another person or why it didn't work out instead of admitting that I have a really unhealthy attachment style.I definitely have been the one trying to rebound. Half of me wants to make him jealous and the other half is I am desperately looking for someone to comfort me instead of trying to make a genuine connection.i think that's how my personal trauma manifests it self . I am trying to work on myself. I still want to be friends in time. Thank you for the video.

i really really really needed this video this morning Craig, thank you again!

You going on tangents is usually fine. As others have said, it's often just nice (even soothing) to hear you speaking. Even better that you are huge nerd about this and you aim to implement real qualified research into your content and advice. As well as adding in your personal experiences or connecting to other stories. Thanks ☺️

I love you ! The side commentary is hilarious. What a fun show

U make me feel so much better about my ex who couldn’t appreciate me even though she told me nothing but lies just to keep me for months

Craig, i watch your videos all the time and no matter when they were posted they are so helpful! Thank you!!

Very often, women, have someone else lined up before breaking up or it's a rebound. Rebound relationships tend to not work out very well. In many cases, women need a taste of their own medicine and see how life really is without her ex. The grass is always greener syndrome is a common occurrence among people.

He moved straight onto a work colleague I think he had lined up. This was after 20 yrs married, feel like he is sloppy seconds now.

Excellent video! You are helping me so much! Thank you 🌼🌼🌼

It's my birthday yesterday, and he didn't greet me. He's been dating this new guy for 10 months now. I feel awful. He was the one who was head over heels for me.

I drive a lot during the day, and i listen to you all the time...

It's been 2 months with no contact and I have been on 3 dates. Had great time but I'm still wanting my ex. I saw her at a movie with another guy. I feel like a stepping stone for the new guy.

Craig just gunnin' on dude is hilarious

Thank you for this video. I really needed this confirmation. I know that they will not last long. But I still feel heartbroken when seeing their posts. Even imaging about them makes me feel like vomit. It’s only been two months since he left me for her. He blocked me everywhere and is posting about his new girl and traveling with her everywhere. I’m holding up day by day but every day feels like one year for me. I still cry often these days. But I know their relationship will end and all I can do now is to be patient.

Thank you coach Craig

So true- I spent wayyy too much money on one of those get your ex back programs and I impulse bought it out of sheer desperation... hindsight is 20/20. what a waste. your free content is worth so much more than a paid program

This information is great! I don't go a day without watching these videos. As a result I have brought my anxiety level way down. Working on myself daily. I am more confident and feeling much better after the 5 month break up. From a relationship that lasted 5 years. She is a stubborn ex. And I know she will return after her rebound relationship ends soon. At this rate I am not sure if I may want her back. Because my value has gone up drastically. I am going to get my cash together and probably get a skype session with you. This self improvement is going too well. Far above normal. Beyond expectation. Thanks Coach!

My ex broke up with me and started dating people a couple days later.

Haha great, laughed so much. On point Craig. Thank you for your great work. Its very helpful and a big gift to us💗✨️

Topic always sounds good, yet the emails you read never pertain to my situation lol

I really loves my ex but he is dating with someone else I feels really hurts inside alots idk what to do😭😭

Your videos are amazing!!!

My girl ended up getting assaulted, and says it changed her and she needed space for a while. During that time she ended up hanging out with another guy and fell in love, told me to move on a couple weeks ago. I believe they've been hanging out for at least 2.5 months and the assault was 3 months ago, and they just started a relationship. Could this still be a rebound? He's completely different than me and totally not her type from past experiences, except he's nerdy like we were. I sent her a message on facebook after I found out and she said that she just "couldn't love me in the way I deserved, and the reason she had issues committing during our year and a half was because she couldn't feel for me the way she feels now." She said she still loves me, just not in the way I deserve. I don't believe that to be true, we meshed way too well from the start and had so much fun together, and she would always tell me how much she loved me and was thankful for me and I always treated her well. I do know I'd been needy and a bit emotional and that may have driven her away as well, and caused her feelings to dwindle. Any help would be amazing. I hurt like crazy.

Mine dumped me after over a year. She’s had issues with her 10 yr old son because his dad has failed him and been in and out of jail and chooses drugs over his son. She tells me she can’t be in a relationship right now because she feels like she’s failing as a parent and to work on herself. I definitely supported this action. They both need therapy. She broke up a week before my birthday. I used the no contact rule since that time. Now I just found out on fb, she’s already in a relationship! WTH! She always told me I was this amazing man that she never thought she could be with. Her previous relationships had been horrible with alcoholics and such. I’m so taken back. I thought for sure she was going to try and rekindle it. Man! Was I wrong! This is so painful and a punch to the gut!

People dont ever be friends with an ex, ever.

Going through this right now and what sucks its coming from an ex that said that she "isn't fully ready for a relationship" yet 2-4 weeks later shes in another relationship? WTF!? Is she just with someone to make me jealous? Or is she just with someone just to be w/ someone?

I’m new to this and I’m learning a lot from your videos. Me and my old lady has a kid together and I can’t see how we can do no contact.... I’ve been working on myself and is having a real hard time keeping my emotions from going crazy..... I am definitely got lots of anxiety while she is talking to someone else..... we are kinda still living together half of the time due to I can spend time with the kid..... I don’t believe she has slept with anyone else but I’m pretty sure she talking to someone else....... I know theirs nothing I can do about it after she dump me 2 months ago..... I’ve been trying to not pressure her in anyway due to the fact I don’t want to push her away.... I haven’t seen any of your videos on how to stay away with no contact with a couple that has a kid together. My question is if you could make a video on this subject that would be nice...... the only video I have seen that might even was close was the two lesbian couple with a adopted kid... For some background she has a lot of childhood trauma and after looking at my own childhood I can see neglect was part of mine. I’m not sure how and if I can deal with this.... I’m going to get your book and do the work...... I hope you can make a video so I can hopefully learn something from it and save my soul from this anxiety..... I’m going nuts.....

Rebound relationship in most cases fail... Why? Bacause your ex has started dating first person who showed her a little bit of interest. After Few months and your ex girlfriend will realise that she went for someone who most likely doesn't do it for her. It was just to forget about you

My Husband is going on holiday with his new girlfriend a year after we split. 😡 I have been watching your videos + trying no contact etc but realise now it wouldn’t of worked cos he had hooked up with someone else.

I got my parents still but my stepfather had passed away 7 months ago wonderful videos for every one hav good day tomorrow

You don't know who King & Country is??? I don't either!! LOL!

My ex dumped me a month and a half ago because I confronted her about allowing random guys to follow her on Instagram, but not letting me follow her - she felt I was stalking and I only wanted to feel included. Had I been included, I wouldn't have cared if other guys followed her because she'd have my trust, but it made it seem as if she had something to hide. It's been tough. I can't help but look at her private instagram profile everyday.. she's doesn't socialize with a lot of people, so she doesn't follow many people or have a lot of followers, but when I see that follower count go up, I wonder who it may be; I wonder who else she's let in in this private space she never allowed me to see - if it may be someone new she's met. As tough as it is, I'm just continuing to fight the good fight to better myself. Broke up on March 2nd, 46 days of NC.

My ex got engaged two months after our breakup and now married within in a year. Wonder how long that's going to last? 🤔 Oh well, wish them luck.

If your ex is dating another man that is a point of no return. Simple as that.

I broke up with my ldr bf about a month ago, and i ve been begging for so much cz he started dating someone new, please could you make a video about long distance relationships? :(

Your responses while reading this letter were the best! He's a complete pos!

She’s engaged to her rebound in less than 3 months, they live together and engaged. Honestly I’m a good man that just wasn’t aware. I was on cruise control and not mindful of the relationship I had for 7 years. Now this happened

Hey guys I could really use a little guidance. My ex girlfriend dumped me about two months ago and we were together for almost a year. We had had a rough last month had had fought a little too much which pushed her over the edge. But not 4 days after the break up she had planned a trip with another guy that we both know and has been in a relationship with him since the break up. I know it may all be over and she could be gone for good but I do still love her and would like to work things out and try for a future again someday with her. After the break up we still talked a little and she would tell me she missed me even though she is with the other guy but after she saw that I had become friends with another girl at work she blocked me on only snapchat (not any other social media) and has been talking badly about me to mutual friends saying that the break up was all my fault and that I did it to myself. I haven't said anything bad about her and in fact cant bring myself to be mad at her at all. Is there any hope left? Or has it all gone down the drain. She wont talk to people at work anymore and wont hang out with friends she seems sad and that really hurts. Anyways please send help quick thank you for reading.

I lost my ex. Life is cruel and brutaly crude.

I'm not sure if I want him back. I broke up with him hastely because we'd had a lot of trauma. Both of us, he'd been in a horrible marriage his whole adult life. His kids went through a lifetime of abuse with their addict mom and I thought I could fix it. I did help them a lot but he's always indignantly denied the problems and fought me. He'd finally at the end started to really try in the last couple of months. I think I panicked. I'd been through a lot trying to get them to the point of normalcy.

i really need help. my ex ended it with me about 2 months ago after a 6 year relationship. she refused to speak to me i failed no contact for the first 1 and a half months. then the last 2 weeks i went no contact.... i then recieved a text from my ex saying "i wish i could say what i want to say to you,but too much has happened now, and there is stuff i have to live with. i wish i could turn back time but i cant. all i can tell you now is goodbye." i didnt text anything back the next day i had another text saying hello. i then text her the next day asking if she meant too much had happened means she has a new guy ?? she said yes but shes not sure if its what she want. now i havnt heard from her for another 6 days now my anxiety is through the roof i am more hurt than ever and confused. what was the reason for the text if she was moving on why did she need to inform me ! did she want me to hurt...chase her... or did she have a moment of weakness and use me

Polyamorous breakups take this to a whole different level lol. That's OK I just want him to be happy with or without me. God bless him. God bless you too, Coach Craig 🙏 🙌 ❤️

Craig, if this rebound has been going on for 2 months but you've been together with them for only 3 months, then why would this thing apply?

Coach, I don't know what king country is either. Anyway, I disagree with you that listening to other therapist material while driving makes you look like a nerd. You are passionate about what you do and it definitely shows. You work nearly nonstop and do whatever it takes to get the job done, even while driving. Your information is priceless and I greatly appreciate everything you do.

My ex recently broke up with me because she was in a bad way had major depression and was in alot of debt so he had to brake up with me ever since the brake up she has been hot and cold very nasty and rubbing a text in telling me she has a new bf and is very happy with him and that we are never getting back together and then telling me she no longer loves me or feels anything for me anymore and now she has a new boyfriend who isn't attractive and she put pics on her Instagram of him and changed her profile pic on Facebook with him just days before she told me she feels bad that our relationship did not work out

Found out yesterday (well a strong rumour in the workplace) my ex of 4 months is seeing someone at work. Gutted, furious. All of the above.... she’s not ever coming back. Time to face reality.

Craig you are such a nice guy, I wish I could find someone like you haha. I am used to being treated like the woman you described in this video, so this really made me realize I deserve better. It’s just hard to let go even though we’ve been broken up for 9 months now. I recently found out he’s dating someone else and I feel like he doesn’t want me to know, because he’s also been bread crumbing me this whole time

What if your ex has already moved on after I spent three months trying to patch things up? When we broke up officially, she was on tinder and talking to guys the same/next day? Why would no contact work on someone that doesn't want you?

No contact won’t work with him.. he always said if he got caught cheating he would never try to reconcile.. AND he’s still dating his ex he cheated on me with

My ex blocked me on everything,I know she’s dating or is with someone else and denies it and says she’s not seeing anyone. I know it’s none of my business. It hurts because we were together on and off for 4yrs plus and the fact she’s starting over with another person really feels horrible. She’s very cold and doesn’t even want to talk to me, she blames me saying she can’t date because of me when I know that’s not true. I’m so devastated.

i can't stop laughing. this is the only sarcasm i like

It's a band called King and Country, they're a christian band from Australia.

Is it a rebound if it was a work colleague he had known for a while?

Worse is if you know 4 sure she is with someone else and hè is a common friend who i'v talked to i,Ve learned yesterday yesterday.im dying in grieve

In my case...I caught my ex in the act last June 23,2019..the door was open..he didn't know that am coming... when he saw me, he looked so pale and yelled at me and threatened me that I was trespassing and will call a Police..how is that?...we've been in a relationship for more than 9 years and never yelled at me...instead I will be the one to yell..he did not communicate anymore..after 3 months I emailed him, begging him to put back in normal and forget everything..you know what he answered?..let's just be best of friends...after that no more communication again..but I greeted him Happy New Year thru phone, he answered...but after that he blocked me..I again got hurt....he don't want me to go to his apartment, he was threatening me....my question: can I still win him back? or will he still come back to me?

I found out my ex was cheating on me before we broke up and is now with that person. Apparently that is her soulmate and they are talking marriage already. It hasn’t been but a few weeks since we split up. I am really going through it. Spiraling, depression and anger.

Can you make a video on my ex is dating someone new but can’t avoid the no contact because of consent orders due to split custody. The no contact thing doesn’t work for all situations especially ones with kids where contact although limited is still present.

I think my ex is already dating, we just broke up on Jan. 10. We dated almost 2 years we have a daughter and one on the way that’s due in June. Upon dumping me she made up false allegations to get a restraining order against me. I didn’t do anything to her and she’s acting like she’s terrified of me. It was someone she works with, I think they must have been dating or talking already. I want my family back.

My ex is going out with her really close friend just after a long-distance breakup, Is it a rebound, she seems happy. please some feedback coach? I need you

I can't date a girl that blinks....ROFL I had to clean coffee off my tablet.

Same .I'm hurt.when I see myldr x bf has new relationship and posted in fb there relationship after 3 weeks break up .but then now I'm starting to realize how shallow he is and his not the guy who has high quality .he's desperate and insecure can't be alone ...I'm laughing so hard good luck boy

My ex is dating someone else and I already knew it ... But two months after her break up with me her new boyfriend texted me if it's okay that he is in relation with her.... I responded calmly that I'm okay and there's no problem.... But inside it hurts like hell.... I don't know what to do

hmy ex(of 1.5 year long relation) ghosted me 9.5 months back when i asked him about his gift for my bday. (which he claimed he bought. but i happened to find out he dint spend on it). the last conversation we had was about that. where i asked him if he could send me the bill of the item so that i can get the warranty(as it was maulfunctioning). to which he never responded. i never went behind him nor asked him about it or told him that i found out he betrayed me with the gift. he never tried to contact me either. he left me and the relationship with that. 6 months later, one morning at 530 am, i got a call from his number. i dint pick it up as i was almost sure it was a drunk dial and i believed that am worth more than that. now its been 9.5 months. and no news from him. i still feel horrible, not being able to move on. last day i saw his pictures partying over a staycation at a different city with a common woman friend of ours. you think he has fully moved on? or you think he still thinks of me or might come back?

How long is the relationship will last for my ex after break up with me?

I'd love to see some content regarding long-term separations. 5 years or more. I can't afford your counseling; way above my pay grade. I certainly got into the wrong business, lol! I have a story you'd probably pay ME $324 for, lmao! Learned a few things from you, but wish I'd learned them sooner. Thanks....

I'm laughing about the nerdy part lol! Because it's true if you're on your 30's onwards 😓

There was a miscommunication about our Kids's schedule it was my fault. I said I was sorry that I messed up on my to part. There was multiple times he could of stop the conversation. At the end of the conversation he tells me he and our kids will be hanging out with a girl that he had perceivable told me was just a " friend." I told him I would pick up the kids if he plans it was not a big deal. Yes it hurts that he is seeing someone else it hurts more knowing he went out of his way to tell me he is doing it when I gave him the option to drop off the kids to my mom. He won't know how bad it hurt I'll act like nothing is wrong tomorrow when I see him.

hi Craig. .have been in a relationship for 7 years..i cheated on my ex boyfriend and due to mistrust he ended the relationship..it's been 7 months now and he has been acting hot and cold with me.he had sex with me and told me he loved me but found out he was in a new relationship some hours after making love with him..he posts pics of her and they seem in love...is there a chance of us ever getting back..i still love him

It's been five months since my ex broke it off. .We talk and text , intimate twice early on until i broke away. Now he's dating, but not ready for a relationship. He recently confessed how much he really did love me. I have apologized and promised to him to make a change and if he decides to come back I am here. I asked if he had thought of us getting back together he said yes.This new girl is getting her clutches into him fast-I am nervous about Valentine's day because he wanted to marry me after one and a half months but a situation with an ex wife interfered . Do I have a good chance to get my ex back,

I wrote my ex a letter, not hand written but in Word. Why is the letter a bad idea??

My ex broke up with me a couple months ago but I found out she got back with her ex before me sorta a sad day here! :(

I’d like to set up an appointment

hi coach plz guide me i have been in relation with one girl we have very good relation but today she text me she has found some very special friend then i reply best of luck with you new friend then she said what about your feeling? i replied my feeling is positive then she asked my why? then i repleid emoji of laughing so i am very sad now please guide me what should i do to get her back i don't ack like needy she always try to initiate contact with me

Just broke up

Damn Coach, the gloves came off. Let's us know how you really feel about that guy.

BTW do you have a podcast either on iTunes or Spotify?

I enjoy listening to your videos, since you have a different perspective . The things I agree with is that the guy is garbage. He sounds like a player. That "we need to lose weight" means "you need to lose weight". That the associates degree was important, because its not for most men. Most men dont care how much women make unless they are narcissists and intend to leach off their SO. That a lot of the other relationship coaches are players, but that also makes them experts on women from a "field" perspective. They are useful to listen to also...but take with a grain of salt. Depending on their content, they may be referring strictly to low quality women, or to relationships on a superficial level. Regarding the breakup... I also bet that the new GF is the one talking engagement.....not him. Note that he was hinting about her losing weight, which was important to him (and most men) and she did not do it...so he found someone else, probably when visiting her (or new GF found him). Agree she made tactical errors. How did she know he "was engaged"? Why is she following him? Once he broke up she should have gone "no contact". "No contact" is an effective strategy. If you remain some fixture in their lives they do not get an opportunity to miss the things you bring to the table, and resent your presence. If there is an accidental contact or contact initiated by the SO, you are supposed to sound loose and easy and friendly...but terminate the contact fairly quickly...because you have somewhere you have to go. This is also important, since this shows you are not pining away, and have developed a potentially interesting activity. Overall, I think you have some great content . Keep up the good work!

How much is a private session?

It looks like my ex is going back to her ex. They were together for a year before we started dating. We only dated for about 46 days. I’m currently in no contact. She reached out to me and agreed to going out when I asked. But when the day came she canceled at the last minute due to homework. This was over 2 weeks ago, and I haven’t heard from her since. I recently saw her with her ex boyfriend and they looked close to each other. Is my situation hopeless?

I feel like I got did over by the coaching I followed suggesting being friends and I also bought txt your ex back fortunately as soon as I read it I thought this seems very manipulative in total I spent about £300 on systems that seemed fake and manipulative. I'm going to sign up for an email coaching ASAP.

Do not and do not compare yourself to the new girl!

I don’t know why the breakup that happened a month ago didn’t hurt so much but finding out she has another man hurts like a b*tch

It’s also possible she was pregnant and had an early miscarriage. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and especially if she was under extreme duress

I’m going through my third breakup (always been the dumpee) they always start dating right away and, rebound or not, it always ends up being the love of their life. Pregnancy, wedding, all the stuff. So f*ck the rebound theory.

Is it considered a rebound if my ex bf started dating his female friend? It happened within about 2 wks and she had also just gotten out of a 7 year relationship. Could they possibly just be each other’s rebound??

Hi can I talk to you please
