Why your ex might trick you to break no contact. Your ex will try to trick you to break no contact! If you are in No Contact, you may be confused on how to move forward, especially if you feel that your ex may be provoking you to reach out to them. In this video, we discuss if your ex may be trying to trick you into breaking No Contact and how to handle this situation.
Coach Craig and Margaret will help you stay strong and not fall for your ex tricking you into breaking no contact. Your ex will often reach out with an indirect/direct approach (which you could consider breadcrumbs). By understanding their maneuver, you can prepare yourself and use this to your advantage and help get them back.
Sometimes an ex will will trick you into breaking no contact in order to ease soothe their separation anxiety, that they can still get you back (if they want). Sometimes they do this because they want to keep you as a backup, or because part of them still wants to be with you.
However, it will not help your position to reach out..
An ex trying to get you to break no contact is not enough for you to reach out.
You only hurt your chances of getting them back by reassuring them that they still have you as an option without having to even contact you. If they do reach out to you, then don't ignore them. Respond makes sense in that situation. But if they haven't made any direct contact to YOU, if it's just breadcrumbing (or a trick) from your ex, then you should ignore it.

What if their ex wasn't such a spineless monster as my ex? I cannot know that. But I do know thanks to coaches like Craig, that the best relationships are the ones that survived a breakup. Because those people know how it is to live without eachother and so they value eachother more.

Sometimes it’s not courage. It’s because they are afraid of getting close to someone who wants them. It’s scary when it gets real and you express your vulnerability to them. Too much responsibility for them to handle. Messed up childhood where their parents don’t really show their kid unconditional love.

Well here is my story, my ex ghosted me New Year’s day after five years of a relationship. After five months of no contact he one day he contacted me and asked me to forgive him etc. and said he misses me and loves me and asked me to come back to him he he did not put his toe in the water but his whole foot LOL. After seven hours I texted him back but never said yay or nay but we have no contact anymore. My feelings for my ex have faded away to my surprise because I did love him very much!

Amazing how I just stumbled upon this video. My ex of 4 months ended it with me as he was very non-committal. 5 weeks later (of NC), he texted and used the excuse that he had picked something up for me (but never actually asking to meet up). I didn’t bite, I simply thanked him. After another 3.5 weeks, he finally came direct and asked to meet and we both kept it friendly and cordial. 4 weeks later, he asked to meet again for my bday. Again, friendly and cordial. Another 2 weeks later, asked if I would “be around” if he dropped by my neighborhood but after I gave him a time that I’d be available, he then turned the tables and said “he’d let me know”. I cancelled the meet altogether as I felt him being so indirectly direct is a form of toying with me. There’s this push-pull vibe I’m getting from him. This happened very recently.

The update to this is that we are just friends. He was using me as a pawn to get his ex jealous (sounded like she fell out of love with him) and he is very much emotionally unavailable. He was with his XW for almost 30 years and I can see that coming out of the divorce, it was as if he lost his right arm. In all my years of dating, I have never experienced this level of confusion from a man as I have experienced with him! He is a deeply wounded man and seeing a counselor post divorce did not seem to help him process the pain. No bueno, no-go. Abort mission!

My ex contacted me wanting a photo of him and his family from a trip we all went on 9 months ago.... which we broke up after that trip, and specified he was not interested in reconnecting. At first I laughed because why would I have this photo, it's been so long. Then I got upset because I found his message so rude and condescending (as if I want to get back together) so I decided to be mature and just tell him I have no photos to which he rudely responded of course you deleted them. He's dating someone new, but I found the whole thing strange. I felt embarrassed for him and I could sense his anger but his anger is not my fault or concern. So sometimes, these breakups show you someone's true colors and being single while dating to find what you deserve is great:)

Broke no contact after over 3 months of nc , and going strong at that. Accidentally caught a glimpse of her social media , where she appeared sad and distraught. Somehow that made me think , that perhaps she was anxious about reaching out to me , so I messaged her. The response was as cold and distant as ever. Went back to no contact going for about two months now. Going pretty strong actually , I don’t feel nearly as bad as in the beginning and some of my friends even noticed how competent at communication and emotions I have become. In a way it was even helpful , because now I am 100% sure , that not contacting her is a right thing to do.

Tip for the future: don’t post yourself with other women, partying, etc. Post authentic things that you enjoy doing either on your own or with others! It’s going to make a much greater impression than something that could be viewed as a jab at her (even if it’s not intended to be). I’m not saying to completely cater posts to her, if anything I say live your life and show your happiness on social media. But don’t cater your content to spark jealousy either bc I guarantee you that will backfire in your face more often than not.

Your client's girl (eh hem, ex) strikes me as someone who has projected onto him what she herself actually needs, namely a platform of "independence." (The relationship probably commenced from a place of dependence [on him] and thus felt less authentic [to her] than it would have felt if she'd appealed to him while functioning independently ...or, as it were, made her feel less special than she craves to feel.) This idea of her explains two things. One thing it explains is her stated emphasis on wanting "him" to be independent, as suggested above. The other thing it explains is her reaction (how she recoiled) to his having advanced on her too quickly (by "tagging" her). I think she's keeping him on a tether only so that he approaches her (woos her) in the way a man would when meeting someone new. The passing, surface interest of other suitors aims only at "establishing" her as, indeed, independent in both her own eyes and your client's, and probably does so largely unconsciously. I think if he cools his heels and looks at things this way, and then uses a careful strategy which accounts for her need to be approached as though they'd never met, he'll be able to win her. I think he needs to look at it as winning her, not winning her back.

I’m 2 months nc and I used to always ask my ex to post about us on social media. I just wanted a simple birthday post, to feel as though he wanted to show me off and is proud of me. Never did. He was never active on social media: a scroll and a couple likes here and there, lucky if he posted once a month or in a few months. Now all of a sudden he’s posting a story every day on all social media platforms, is this his breadcrumb? This is the second time we’ve broken up due to bad communication on his part. I would always communicate what I needed and asked what he needed to which he always responded, “I’m happy baby, I love you”. How am I supposed to fix an issue I’m not even aware of?

Granted, it could literally mean nothing but if she is trying to make me jealous, thats kinda not working, I did scratch my head though. I'll never reach out to her after I already did that 3 times after we broke up (2 weeks after the breakup was when I stopped, and it wasnt even me trying to manipulate her I was just concerned for her mental and physical health) and I am letting her reach out if she wants to. I talk to other girls, I have set a date with one already and I am not waiting like an idiot.

I’m almost there, she will not keep me at arms length. Either share your emotions or don’t bother me at all. Edit: last time she did this she made excuse after excuse as to why she couldn’t make it. I view this tactic she uses as a breadcrumbing method.

He didn't even say anything, he sent a GIF to each group. I responded to his friend who wrote something, but didn't acknowledge his GIFs. That was 5 days ago, nothing since. I guess he was testing the waters? If he had actually said something or addressed me I would've responded. But the GIF was obviously looking to see if I would break NC.

Ok, what do I do, I can’t stand it, we have kids, I’m pregnant with his child, and just sad. I’ve experienced childhood neglect and am putting all of this together. He tells people like He can’t get rid of me, which how embarrassing. Suggestions so I can’t stop being miserable, we spent the last months together and I left, I was there waiting for work on my house done, BUT-deep down I I don’t want him, but I just can’t stand else, that’s confusing to myself because I don’t want him. Suggestions

You clearly need to be strong 💪 for your children. It doesn't matter what he tells others. You carry yourself like a Lady, and let him stew in his own mess. Find a good Christian ✝️ Church, which will help 🙏 support you and the children with love. Prayers are never ignored by our Father God. Jesus Loves children ❤. He will strengthen and guide you. It's taking me 3 years to get over the pain, but I am 10 times stronger and happier alone. Think about the welfare and safety of your children first. They see everything and they remember. Be strong 💪 ✨ ❤ 🙏

My issue is complicated. She reached out, but due to the fact that she has narcissistic traits, it was to Insult me over the fact of communicating with someone else in the same country where she lives. She accused me of trying to use that person to move there. Which was never my intention. I had however previously over a month ago Sent her an email apologizing for the mistakes I made last year, which I clearly recognized by now, and apologized hoping that would give her an opportunity to heal. So when she reached out to me because that other person had communicated with her she told me I had lied to her, but she didn't have all the facts. Even as she insulted me I told her that's not the case, and that was not my intention. Then she said it was late and she was tired and then I agree to end the conversation and then in her language told her goodnight and God bless you. After she read my last message to her she blocked me again. It really boggles my mind that in a Global pandemic someone can still act this way. Any brief helpful reply will be appreciated. Thank you.

She reached out a third time but now to my mom. After they'd been talking behind my back, she e-mailed me and she wrote she loved me, wanted a future with me and that she'd been talking with my mom about getting back together with me. When we got talking, the first thing she says is she's been having sex with tons of guys and telling me graphic details about it. I hadn't begged, pleaded or looking at her social media since the breakup and now all of that was for nothing. This was one month ago now and ever since she said those stuff to me I've been feeling alot worse, so before you answer a reachout, ask yourself if it's really worth it. I didn't and now I can't ever get better.

I know your comment Is a year old and I pray that you are In a much better place emotionally. I'm going through a breakup obviously but I just wanted to share something with you. My first girlfriend (the first woman I actually fell In love with) cheated on me and I kicked her out. We were 17 and just had our daughter. We were young but she would call me late at night just to let me hear her screwing other guys. Bro that messed with me emotionally and everything else for a long time. It's been almost 16 years as I'm now almost 34 and she recently contacted me wanting to work things out. Lmfao not a shot In hell! I've had 3 ex's reach out to me In these 2 months that my current ex and I have been split. The ONE ex I want to reach out hasn't and she was my best friend and soulmate. I had a connection with her unmatched by anything I've ever experienced and It sucks losing your best friend, wife and mother to your son all In one...

Today is the 28th my bf broke up with me about a month ago. I gave him until the 30th to move out. He sleeps on the sofa. My heart is torn. This breakup came out of left field. He really feels that we are not compatible and feels that there is no working it out as it’s pointless. I’m 46 he’s 37. He says he unhappy, miserable. All the bickering started when the pandemic started. He has checked out of this relationship and it hurts like hell to see him everyday here interacting with my kids like things are normal. He just asked for two more weeks as he cannot find a place he can afford. We’ve only been together (or we’re together) for two years. How can I do No Contact when he still lives here. I wasn’t ready for this breakup. But 28 days later, I’m coping as best I can.

Do you really think they miss you especially if they replaced you while still together? Been one year and they are still together. I contacted him as I left something there. I totally forgot about. He was gruff in his text and said he had nothing to say and would leave it outside. I replied I don't know what gave you the indication I wanted to talk. I just wanted to retrieve the item and was cordial in my request and wished him well. I just asked if the item was still there as I wanted it as it was an item my grandchild mention. I wanted to refurbish it for her as it had memories attached for her. Hell telemarketers are nicer than what I got! Lol! Again I doubt he misses me. Guilt must be hard for someone who is dishonest and hurts someone.

Okay so my girlfriend of 3.5 years broke up with me a little over 3 weeks ago. I’ve been no contact for a little over 2 weeks. The reasoning for the breakup gives off strong “grass is greener syndrome” vibes. What confuses me is that she constantly likes my tweets and retweets even though I don’t like anything she posts on any platform. I still view her Snapchat and Instagram stories (I know I should stop that) but I don’t directly like anything. Is she doing this for a reason?

Hi Craig Hi Margret :), I have a quick question, my ex and I met up for a walk a few weeks ago after 2 months NC, it went really well, we laughed and and i teased her a little. she seemed really happy to see me and hugged me tight and said "see you soon". the day after the walk I sent her a message saying "i had a good time" and that i had been nervous to see her and she said she felt the same. then the day after that i sent her another message saying that we should get drinks sometime, she took a week to respond and said it was due to work, i said i hope it had all gone well and asked her if she knew what 'randonaughing' was because i had a feeling that she would find it interesting, it took her 2 days to respond to that, all she said was "I cant say I do" and she was out with like 5 other guys before she responded(obviously made me feel a little insecure knowing that shes able to get so much male attention lol). i feel that her responses are empty she doesn't seem to be too interested in conversation or setting a setting a date to see me again. my psychologist ad I talked about it and he recommended I go back into no contact and wait for her to send another message, hopefully with more depth and interest. in your opinion would going back to NC in this situation be a good idea or would it make her feel ignored and not want to reach out again? BTW thank you for all the amazing insightful videos you guys put out!!!!!
