    "If the things you know you would forgive them for are the same things they won't forgive you for, then stop convincing yourself that you ruined the greatest love story of all time. The greatest love story of all time will be able to endure, forgive and move on from normal imperfections and mistakes." 17:52

And I feel it exactly like he described here. I feel it physically and intensely and for long, extended periods of time! I'm in the beginning of the worst one ever right now. Fresh. Only happened like 3 weeks ago... After 17 years! It's so painful and difficult. 💔 And yes, I agree, this channel is amazing. The absolute best.

    2 months of no contact and she messages me saying i miss you and i love you while she has a profile picture of her with a new boyfriend. So when I pointed out all the b.s. she did when we were together and the breadcrumbing for attention after, she goes back into hiding. So I get punished for simply pointing out the impact of her bad behavior.

    I've been No contact with my BPD ex 3 weeks now till today. I drove by a street I don't usually take and she drove by the other way. As we passed each other? I threw her the finger and said, fu. Her eyes were peering at me as we drove by. Do I regret doing that? Nah not a chance. Watching other BPD vids, it's best never to keep them around in your life. Move on. Move forward with your lives. She is replaceable and I made it clear to her after I caught her cheating on me. I said you aren't worth it. After all the arguments, fake love, fake apologies, fake empty promises of changing? I am done. She is one ex I don't ever want back.

    This hyper thing is new to me but so real. I have always been passionate about the things I do (work, ppl, love). I learnt early in my youth that if you do something to it 100% or dont do it at all. I now discover that giving love for 100% !can also have a “negative” part to it when the heart is concerned.

Reminds me how Debbie Reynolds died promptly after hearing her daughter Carrie Fisher died) --highlight creativity I'm glad I'm old. I fired hope. Hope misleads me. I have faith, that even without hope life can be meaningful & enjoyable. Ruminating, remaining angry keeps me obsessed. Blindly forgiving I move on faster. Interestingly, they become a stranger again. Maybe I really did not know them. And anyway, I always fall in love again

    My fiance's father has been sent home to die at of last week. As the time for closer for dad to come home, he became more distant and dismissive. He said he is overwhelmed emotionally carrying for Mom, 12 year old niece and dying father all while working. I can't help. His mom wouldn't allow it and wet live in different states. He's always called me his Empress and treated me that way until now. He had stopped talking to me, unfollowed me on social media. Pulled out of our shared discord server, blocked me on Twitter. My heart is shattered and I'm at a loss for what's happened. It's been a week since we spoke. I knew i should go no contact bit i broke that yesterday when i messaged him to let him know i was still here and loved him. I am starting no contact all over again but this hurts so bad. We were supposed to be married in two months. Why would someone do this?

    My limerence is for someone who I never even had a relationship with. He was my therapist. We connected instantly or, I connected instantly. Alot of it was delusion but he did flirt with me a bit. I didn't make that up. But after I decided to end the sessions, he never reached out. That fucking stung. It's been months and I still think about his everyday. I feel pathetic. I can't talk to anyone about it because it's so embarrassing. Deep down I just want someone to save me from my life. I want someone to make me feel special and to make that courageous leap to be with me. I've never felt that. I have ADHD and I've always been like this but lately, it's crushing me because it's been months and it's obvious he will never try to reach out. Thank you for this video. I really feel heard right now. ❤

    Limerance is rarely returned. It’s like crushes on celebs or workplace flirtations where one side is harmlessly playing and the other side feels a real potential is being hinted at. It hurts but it was nothing more than your imagination. Therapist only saw you because he was boing paid. Not because he was reaching out to see you. Remember that. It’s like falling in love with a prostitute. Sharing feelings is like sharing your body. It’s a fakery of real connection. Good luck.

With CPTSD and chronic illness where I spend a lot of time in bed (and am in a lot of physical pain as a result) I definitely feel like I’ve struggled with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and Disordered Acceptance of the breakup. I’m approaching 4 months post-breakup and 2 months post “Clean Slate with a Punch” text and have been enduring the pain but it’s been so excruciating. I feel like he HAS to reach out any moment but at the same time that I’m deluded and stupid for thinking he will ever reach out. 💔💔💔 Edit: Omg the pancakes cracked me up Coach you’re so funny 🤣

    You are speaking truth you definitely have to know who you were with and who you are with we all mistakes. Everyone needs to have boundaries if you don’t things will not work out because the issue will cycle back again. I’m going through the situation right now and I learned a lot by watching her instead of calling her out I’ve allowed for her to form a defense mechanism when she is wrong she know what it is and she tend to get back in her she’ll because she don’t believe in accountability but at the same time she feels bad that’s on her that’s the main reason I don’t contact her because even though I have issues that need to be worked on I still believe she was petty by ending it. I then have told her why all her expectations wasn’t met she had high expectations of me and saw me as a high valued man which we all are if we remember who we are. That’s the reason why I haven’t given up on her because she don’t know I am working on my financial crisis something I don’t want to burden her with. Our last conversation helped us realize we have to work on ourselves she want me to get right and I want her to see that I’ve been protecting her from her clients and family because she do run a business helping out the elderly and them retired old men with money and status love her. I had to deal with one that was consistently inviting my girl to watch a concert in a yacht I’m thinking to myself I’m a rehabilitated thug which never made it prison I only made it to booking. What can I offer my wife even though I’m not married to her I considered her my wife the moment I met her. Now with her obsessed strange cousin being miserable and wanting all the attention from the women in the family in other words the one that encourages the women in the family to leave their husbands so they could have their hot girl summer I’m not dumb. We all have examples in our lives from the moment we are born i so happen to grow up with aunts cousins and sisters that played the same position being knowledgeable will not allow me to go through what I seen and even though the outcome might be different what are the chances of me not being a victim as far as being cheated on. Now I’m going through our first month of being broken up after three weeks of being ghosted what messes me up she said I’m a good man but not for her but that text wasn’t written by her and I know this because I know how she text her grammar isn’t correct even with auto correct she don’t use commas nor periods as me right now because I’m typing. I normally proof read everything I send out and she always using harsh words like mother you na mean. This text had mixed emotions written all over it. Lewis I thought I was being negative by thinking of all her cons and even though her pros are greater the cons are heavy but we are not perfect. Thanks for confirming I’m on the right path. Now I have more time to work on myself nor have to feel like I’m second or last and once her and I link up the boundaries we had when we first met will have some realistic once. At first I didn’t care about her and her circle until I noticed her circle was benefiting from her I’m putting that to a stop she is not a bank her cousin definitely going to hold a lost as well I’m waiting for her to screw up which she already is. Her passive aggressive narcissistic ways has been spotted and it’s only a matter of time before she reveals her true intentions

    More than 2 months of my breakup, 31 days of NC, its not easy. I had to go through tears, agony and fear of losing her. The day I saw this vdo, I can say I am proud of my self that I felt all that pain so deep bcoz I love her so much! I am flawed too, did mistakes but looking back they are minor mistakes. She has said things which she wont forgive. Yet, I tried so hard. I am not ashamed to say I miss her but not that much. I got to know, she is not irreplaceable. But, she wont get that kind of unconditional love I offered her. She took me for granted, I never did. I am trying my best to stay away from her, also trying to avoid the idea of her being sorry and coming back. I am okay with losing her. She lost someone who just wanted her to be there, nothing else. She has no idea what she lost.

    Hello Coach Ken. I am a nurse and he is a Vietnam Veteran with Post Traumatic Stress. He ghosted me in my younger age years ago and got married. After a 29 year marriage he looked me up years later. Unfortunately I was single and let him nack into my life. He has been unfaithful, in and out of my life 3.5 years.b I finally got fed up with his pattern of inconsistancy that I've blocked him from vontacting me. I am in the processof moving away before he knocks at my door.I now resent him and do not desire to continue this misery with him I thank you for your insights. I tealize that I did not lose him but, he lost me. He pushed me away. I plan not to go back. I will keep No Contact for my own good not to get him back. God Bless you Coach Ken.

I broke it off for one day but apologized to him next day because I couldn't bear to loose him. He said we could work it out but to give him time but blocked me a week later. Its so painful.

    In here from OR. 29 days out of a blindsided breakup. 3yrs of a beautiful healthy loving communicative relationship. She left me for another guy. I was broken. We had future plans. I grieved for 14 days. 4 of them non functional. Then got myself on a rigid work schedule. I initiated no contact 17 days ago but it is hard. Some days better than others. Today was rough. We never had a fight in our love. Never yelled or called any names. She told me thru the years she has never been treated so well. Idk...I am healing & moving on. We arent on bad terms. Our picture are still up on our social media. However I unfriended & unfollowed her. I stopped looking at our stuff a couple of weeks ago to move on. I'm still broken & she monkey branched. I see the ugliness in what she did and know I didnt deserve that. I dont necessarily want to be back w her but I do want us to have a conversation at some point. She has a 4yr old daughter that loves me and has msgd me...I LOVE U, Where are U? That kills me

    I'm on day 26 and it just got real hard again today and my hopes went way down. Don't know what happened. I just wish I could hug her. The thaught struck me that she seems to have always jump from relationship to relationship and the shortest one I can think of lasted a year. She cheated before but those weren't "relationships" since she was with me. She's always seemed to had somebody else lined up and when she gets out of one relationship she starts up with them, she left me for another guy and I just really feel like this doesn't look good for me. Also if anybody wants to comment on this I really appreciate it just please don't say anything about how is she cheated on better off without her, ect. I've heard it before and I still love her.

    You just need to remember that women have more attractive power than men. She can find a new partner more easily, but finding a committed partner is where she will struggle. It all comes back to the fact that men prioritize sex more than relationships, and vice versa for women. We both care about both but our emphasis is not equal. So you will take longer to move on because you won't be drowning in attention. But that will give you a chance to heal and avoid a rebound. Then when you are ready you will regain your confidence and you're more likely to reject the friend zone, reject relationships with women who should be in the sex zone, reject commitment when she's not the right one. If you think back carefully you'll see that she had more experience navigating the process of getting commitment from you than you may even have had getting sex from her. Recognize what your bargaining chips are. Don't squander your romantic currency too fast, and realize that your ex will be facing the flip side of this coin.

    18 months no contact. I still feel bad because I never got the chance to explain myself for something I was accused of but didn't do. I feel like I will I never move on because of this. He accused me of following him and I wasn't. I lived in that direction and so did he. Just because I am behind him. He couldn't think of any other reason for him to end it than that. I think it's unfair to me. I wish he could have just been honest and said I need space other than breaking my heart.

    I feel you so much. But "unfair" thing is something that never brings relief. Life is unfair, but life offers us new possibilities also. Being stuck on getting closure or justice is really a waste of time. Even when person leaving a relationship tell us a "full truth", it is many times heart breaking. "I need a space" - is so much of a typical white lie that explains nothing...

    @Coach Ken yw. I also have watched other videos of yours, and I like how you don't automatically come from the position of "you should never take them back!" Your way of addressing whether one wants reunification or not helps people like myself not feel backed into a corner to make a decision I am not emotionally capable of making at this time. You frame things in a very digestible way.
