    The best way to get over a resentment is NOT to find someone else. That is still numbing your pain. It’s go inward and heal.

    1) no contact/ minimal contact 2) self- identity, starting from scratch, who was I before the relationship, what compromise did I make, what kind of friends do I need? 3) why breakup happened, explanation can help 4) accept the reason if not insulting 5) blind sighted after breakup/ drifting apart / that's their plan 6) idolising ex is natural, but not helpful, how to not idolise them but not villainise them? 7) Reasons why they were not perfect for you or a good match for you, make a list of it 8) self-blame is natural tendency, it's about a match not about being enough for that person, don't look at things you hate about yourself/ insecurities 9) it's not about attraction, we all make mistakes, is there a match 10) social support is important, supported by others, emotional validation, finding people with similar circumstances

    No Contact of possible. Went through break up with same person. I went No Contact, practiced letting go, trying to move on, she tracked me down and begged me to come back. Got back together and gor married and she started doing the same things all over again. Now 8 years later, living as roommates only for 4 years, she wants divorce. I'm still in the house and physically close. I did choose to sleep in spare bedroom but we are near each other a lot. And leaving could impact divorce proceedings, so I'm doing best I can, to let go and move on, wven in this situation, which makes that especially difficult. If anyone has already parted company, do No Contact for your own well being. It is true, they'll often chase you after you go No Contact but never forget they broke up once, they'll likely repeat and your heart will be broken again and maybe worse.

    I don't geel so bad now hearing about multiple break-ups with same person. 4 times for me and now number 5. I'm 62 and 18 years of my life wasted. Many of those years i was miserable. Each time it was her that pushed me away and each time it was her that wanted me back. Now, again, she's doing the same thing. Don't be slow to learn like I was. Move on. Better to break-up with someone new, than with the same person.

    She pulled me away from my abusive parents. I lived in the basement of an abandoned building across the street from her for 4 years and 6 months with her in an apartment we rented. Her parents were constantly screaming and gaslighting from 8 in the morning to 11 at night. Nearly 5 years of fight or flight for both of us. When I finally told her mom "not in my house," they turned on me. A 10 hour scream-fest later, she packed me a backpack and I was pushed out the door. I lost 80% of my belongings and the person I planned a future with, they lost me which is worth far more than that. 6 months later, I am living comfortably and seeing a girl, the ex and her family keep finding an underhanded way to undermine my reputation and unload a 15,000 debt, sending threatening messages to get into my head, and all-round harassment from a distance. I lost my things and my plans, but I got myself and my potential.

    Hi Tyler, what made you feel that way? I would assume if you are truly feeling that loss that there is still love between you. Did you both sit down and communicate needs clearly to one another prior to your decision to leave or were you both just fighting back and forth not feeling that those needs were being fulfilled? usually if that's the case you may just left without having that communication about the relationship being important to both of you and worth fighting for and that could be a mistake. If you had that communication and had no resolution that I would say that I hope that your grieving period is short and that you are able to accept it wasn't meant to be and you are able to move on to find your true match. My love and empathy go out to you. I know how this feels to grieve the loss of a relationship you thought would have a future.

Want to hate them, want to blame them, want them to know how much they’ve hurt me…but that isn’t going to quicken the healing needed. I’m about 2 months in on a 21 year separation. We’ve been together since we were 17. No matter how difficult things got, I had faith that we would always be able to work through it and communicate. But the communication started to fall by the wayside on their end. I tried to communicate even when it didn’t feel welcomed. Thank you for providing your insight

    My narc husband of 32 years decided to “come clean” before his cancer got bad. He told us about his double life with some side trash in another city but came back for me to take care of him the last four months of his life. I was devastated and shocked. of course their transactionship crumbled within a couple months (duh, it’s not like he ended our marriage, got himself help and now he’s a great partner!). I’ve never felt such anger and hatred in my life, being dead is not enough. It’s 10 months now,I’m a lot better but still very sad to see the way the only person I trusted my entire adult life, try to destroy his family on his way out. Well, he’s gone and I have peace now, can’t wait to not think about him anymore

    This was VERY useful! Thank you. I would like to mention one thing regarding the last few minutes of video. There is an assumption that the woman didn't communicate a growing issue and I have to say that women nearly ALWAYS voice their dissatisfaction and usually in multiple ways before shutting down or totally pulling away. Sadly, most guys view this as nagging or they are so caught up in their own head that they don't HEAR the woman until she gets extreme. Then the man seems blindsided because she doesn't want to talk about it anymore or try. Guys...PLEASE take this doctor's advice and check in with your woman regularly cuz at a certain point there's just no use trying to talk anymore. Hear this wisdom and do what is suggeated in this video.

    I am an example of this. My ex girlfriend did in fact voice her concerns with me but I took them as personal attacks to me. I was not listening. It came to a point of another argument but this was the last star for her and I shut down and ended the relationship because I was too immature for hard conversation. I immediately regret breaking up. But she came to a point she does not want to try anymore. We were in a 5 year relationship.

Almost 4 years, I was working alone, to make enough money for us, to make her atleast to feel a bit better.... So after those 4 years ( in total is 5 around), she got some help from a therapist, got her meds for depression... Finally she got the job at the bank. I was proud of her, I was telling everyone how cool my fiancé is!

He passed in July 2021. After he passed, I had lost all of our friends and my children didn't come around. I had tried dating people, but those failed my daughter, then moved in with me and was very abusive mentally and some physical abuse. She really financially abuse me and caused me to lose two jobs And was working on the third one. I had to kick her out on a protective order. Was seeing another guy and we were getting serious, he left me because of the drama with her. Also, after I kicked her out most all of my family members won't speak to me now, I am going to court tomorrow because she is suing me. They helped her get the lawyer and the money. My oldest son won't let me see my grandchildren that he has until she gets her girls back he said. She had already lost two girls and now has lost the other two to their two dads. She has a record that won't quit. She even attacked two police officers at a Kid Rock concert.

    I am not somehow being able to overcome a bad breakup of a 35 year marriage..he cheated then abandoned me- left me and married his mistress- left me sick with Lymes disease, heavy metal toxicity, and Eoatein barr virus- got no money from him cause my lawyer messed up so I've been left with literally nothing and TRULY struggling to survive...I need help! Counseling is just stirring up stuff and not helpful

    I don’t want her back. I know it wouldn’t be right. I’d be so paranoid. And deep down I know it was falling apart and we were only together for 4 months lol. The mind cannot be trusted it only focuses and emphasises the good points and fades the bad points. But at the time of the break up, it was the bad points that overshadowed the good points. If you got back together it would most likely end up the same

    What hurt most about my fiance leaving me was that she moved in with another man within 6 weeks that she met on Tinder. That hurt the most. It's been the hardest break up ever. Looking back I can see she treated me terribly but I keep remembering the nice things but I know deep down she wasn't right for me and she didn't respect me.

    Yo, don’t let that hurt you brother. Think about it. Dude made mistake number one, getting with a girl who is still dealing with her ex. Even if she was cheating on you and fell out of love, she’s going to still have the same problems and unattractive features that made you loose safety in the relationship.

    Ha, what if the why they left IS insulting. I keep ruminating on all the stuff I could’ve done better (though I do know there is plenty he could’ve done better) , I blame myself (with his encouragement ) and of course he blames me ..sooo now what.? I can’t make him see what he doesn’t want to (the good). Do I just accept that he sees me this way and move on? I keep struggling with his lack of true insight

    Hi .well I think you see in a person what you want to see.. if he choses to see all your faults and the bad times instead of seeing your qualities and looking at the good times to give you another chance there is unfortunately not much more to do. If you apologized for your mistakes and asked for a second chance to do better and he refused I think it's best to move forward. Unfortunately there is not much more you can do, at least I think.

    Thank you Jasmine:-) I know I need to just stop thinking he will ever understand. All our problems were just that “ours” he contributed to half of them , if not more. He will never take responsibility for the way he behaved and what he could’ve done different. He actually said “I did everything right” ! That statement alone is very telling of the problem. He really thinks he is always right. I am slowly letting go and I know , eventually I’ll heal. Just as you stated, There is no more I can do. I’ve made it clear , I’m still willing to give it a go and that I love him and many times apologized for any and all the little things he sees that I did and didn’t do. I’m done groveling . It is probably better. If he would decide to come back, he would need to look at his part in this and then we could work together to rebuild our love and marriage. Otherwise , I would be miserable . I hope to someday be with someone (not marry ) who loves me the way I am. Thank you again, it is nice to feel heard

    Sometimes they play the victim, and they liked blame the other person for how they ended up there and they don’t take accountability for their part in it You feel attacked and blamed, and then you keep defending, and it keeps looping with the same conversation whilst we know we are good people and we can acknowledge our mistakes that we may have made, but we don’t like to leave it where they get. The last say painting us in a terrible light . That’s probably just their way of deflecting or relieving their guilt. but as long as we know who we are, and we don’t need their validation because the last time we checked, they knew that we were good people.

    She showed zero empathy towards your emotions and was cheating, right? That's hurtful and you have to let those feelings out. Try to do things that let you feel better- like gym or watching Netflix😊. Inform yourself about your situation and learn more about yourself.

    Meditate on this: narcissists aren't real. Not that they don't exist, that they are-during the lovebombing phase-mirrors that reflect back at you the best qualities in yourself. Then, they absorb all that goodness and comfort and support without giving any back. You may be depleted for a time. But you didn't lose anything when they left. All the good qualities are still in you. Think about how seen you felt at first and how adored and reflect on the qualities they saw. Love yourself for those qualities. Were you kind? The the narc made you feel bad if you were kind to anyone but them? Understand there isn't enough kind in the universe to heal them, and it's not your fault or responsibility. Were you funny? Then the narc made you stop joking because you were the center of attention and not them? You're still funny. The narc isn't capable of sharing anyone's attention, because there is never enough to heal their perception of neglect. It's not your responsibility to fix them. Is your heart truly broken, or are you distressed because they aren't ok and you know it? If you see them as a narcissist, know they hurt you and anyone they touch, is that heartbreak or feelings of failure because they are still deeply, fundamentally flawed? You can't fix them. Even if you had all the time in the world. They have to do that. When your heart is screaming "i still love you" that's kind of a lie. Or, a mistranslation. Hear instead, "i haven't given up hope for you!" Then, let go. Because you can have that hope. It's okay to hope. But the work is their responsibility.
