    Ken…to me, these are your greatest videos. Your “no contact” content is second to none. You’re able to articulate so many nuances that only a person who has gone through it would understand. More importantly, your message is about embracing What Is, accepting the reality of the situation, but reframing it in a way that is galvanizing. I appreciate you. Blessings to you and your family.

    These dark limerance videos are the best. This is exactly where I am now. He discarded me, yet I am obsessively fiending for him... Even though he literally gives zero fxcks about me. I miss him so bad. It hurts so much. I was bawling through most of this video. My heart feels like it is ripped out of my chest, even though its been a couple months in the making now. How do you find purpose? I dont feel passionate about anything, especially now. I feel so lost, useless, and repugnant. (If someone says "go to the gym" I will scream.)

    I can totally relate to this and am only just starting to get past the 'no purpose' stage (took 3 months). Everyone telling you how much you have going for you.. blah blah blah it's all just noise when you are emotionally exhausted. Not sure if it helps but I found that just giving myself permission to be sad and trusting that sooner or later I'd come out of it helped. If you were a strong capable person before the breakup, it's only a matter of time until you get back there. When you do (which you will), you'll have all this new knowledge on yourself and will believe it or not, actually be stronger and more capable than you were before. It takes as long as it takes, emotions won't be rushed but maybe remember that the outcome is 100% assured and it's just the time that is a variable. Be sad be, be unmotivated, be angry, be whatever TF you want to be and f@$k any idiot that thinks the gym will fix it. Most importantly be kind to yourself and the hardest part..... trust and be patient. Hope you're doing OK.

What he said in this video was exactly i did, reaching out after a few weeks to listening to friends saying the “if i was you ill give it one more shot” and all backfired negatively towards me. Im moving forward because i know she wont want me back because i hurt her and apologized to her for not being fully committed to her and when i was so ready to fully commit she no longer wanted it. Its okay i deserve the feelings i am feeling now. I just hope she will find happiness and not fall in the wrong hands. Its a dangerous dating world out there.

    Hello Ken. You are a welcome voice of knowledge and experience. I came across you a few weeks ago after two months of recovery from an inexplicable breakup. You have reinforced my recovery but also highlighted areas I hadn’t considered. Thank you. My whole demeanour and outlook is now forward thinking & looking & planning. Recently in social situations people are approaching me and I’m sociable again. I’m being noticed for the right reasons. I realised I was ‘shut away’ and shutting people out consciously and subconsciously. As an update a wonderful woman popped into my life! I have no strategy and no expectations but it feels great. Part of my ‘new attraction’ is definitely a result of having many creative and healthy options in my life. People are interested in me and it’s spooky 😊 the focus of my happiness isn’t focused on one person now… thank goodness 👍🏽

    Your videos are helping me get through my depression from a breakup. I was in a 8 month long distance relationship. My ex gf lives in Poland and me in USA. We met online and then once in person during the summer. I wasn’t working for some time because i was prepping for law school. When i returned I got busy with law school felt overwhelmed and ended up breaking up with her. Something I never thought I’d do because I loved her but it did feel like she was too needy. Anyway, we got back together within a few days but me doing that changed our dynamic. We argued a lot. She felt i wasn’t listening to her and it was true. So she would yell and lash out to me (she was also bi polar and maybe borderline too) then one day she broke up with me. I accepted it at the time as I thought it was best. She kept speaking to me after and we spoke almost as if we were together saying I miss you and so on. I even re booked a ticket to see her for winter break. I didn’t want to get back together during this time. Wanted to see her in person. She kept saying she missed me then changed about a month before my trip to see her. I got jealous and she hated it and said we were just friends (i feel she met someone) i flew all the way to Poland for her to meet me and say we will never be together and that my feelings made her uncomfortable. I begged once while i was there but she left me alone in this country after i landed. It was cruel. She was different. Looked at me as if she never had any feelings. The last time i went it was bliss. I really felt we loved each other but I guess it was stronger for me because I have been so broken up crying every night. I can’t believe i flew to another country for her and she didn’t feel anything for me. Unfollowed all my social media. I did text her once during the time i was there and she said she regretted she gave met her new number. (Thats what i meant i begged) stopped messaging her. It’s been 2.5 weeks. I can’t believe she did that to me. I’d never do this to someone unless they cheated or were abusive to me in the past. She had her Ig private and then un did it a few days ago and I believe i saw her with another girl. Not sure but i think so. I’m so depressed because even though i did what i did and broke up that time. I still loved and still love her. This was the most intense I felt for someone . I’m sure she doesn’t care for me at all after how she acted. That’s another level of no caring. Knowing someone you claimed you used to love traveled to see you and you meet them there first day in the country and abandon them. During Christmas and new year by the way. I felt so alone but it’s my fault ? Because she wanted me to not accept the breakup it seemed. I let her go. I hate myself currently.

    When I realized my friendship of 16 years with a narc for what it was and saw no point keep trying to maintain it because this person was obsessed with devaluing me, I told myself that I wont be enabling this behavior. All the anxiety and desire to have the old version of her back, I labeled it as just a bad addiction to something that didn't even exist. All that is standing in front of me is a lazy, selfish, spiteful, manipulative and mean spirited individual and just about anyone can do a better job at being a friend than her that I could spend my time and energy on... I took a step back and looked at myself what this was actually doing to me and started to quickly fix myself instead of this artificial friendship. I stopped being afraid of seeing the red flags and it was really disturbing to see how bad it really was, what this person was really doing to me and told to people behind my back. Going no contact and cut her out of my life was the best decision I have made to end this madness

Well, I bottled up a lot of disappointments and resentments and dumped it all on her. Then she blocked messages and eventually unblocked again, but no response. From all the videos and research I have gathered, she checks all the boxes to be somewhere on the BPD spectrum. Now, I am truly in no contact. I closed off all the windows. Time to get back to work.

He was only testing me i guess... I was so desperate for his forgiveness i wasn't even playing hard to get..i messed up because i went back to the city , to see him in person..he was still testing me.. he got his reassurance and repeated he can't have a long distance relationship.He rejected me.I asked him to still be friends but i felt like begging ...so i unfollowed him on social media.

And I …. absolutely terrified of the friend zone or being his „training wheels“ …. said something like „I don’t know, I am not ready for friendship“. Bummer!

He dumped you once, you set up your boundary that you don't want friendship after being with him, he throws it back in your face with a snide comment. You don't get to dump someone and then be a dick when you crawl back because the dumpee doesn't just go along with it, that just makes you a dick.

    She self-sabotaged several times after we mutually agreed to have dinner. Then on the afternoon of the date I cancelled reservations for the day before , tells me that "we still could have still met up". I guess it wasn't meant to be". Then went i to the silent treatment. I don't appreciate the yo-yo games. What's the answer for that ?

    Blocked everywhere as well. Been 2 weeks NC. I think I was the majority of the issues l, my behavior and actions sucked. I own it. Does sending a letter have any value, just to verbalize that I own it, that i see my faults and that I’m putting in the work. And maybe we can meet for coffee. Thoughts?

    Broke no contact after 2 months (7.5 year relationship) definitely regret it. I let my emotions get the best of me. I lost all the strength I projected and now it might have reinforced the break-up. The sense of loss is going to take even longer now prob. She replied and said she missed me and she gets emotional when she thinks about me but she is enjoying her life being “alone and on her own”. Going back into no contact but May have ruined my chances so I just need to focus on moving on.

    Ride it out, maintain no contact, they aren’t ready and they have to earn you back. If they were ready to have you back. They’d reach out to you themselves and be direct about their intentions for reconciliation. Focus on you.

    Too funny! I've often wondered the same thing. It's not like it's a secret anymore, everybody bloody knows about it and a google search takes 2 seconds. Worries me sometimes that a battle of the wills just mean two people lose out. I have a few subtle ways of letting my ex know that we might still have a chance but who knows if it's the smart thing to do. Guess you just have to trust your intuition a bit and realise only you know your ex and your situation.
