No contact rule

[myothercarisaskoda]

Has anyone done this with Coach Lee and successfully got their ex back?

Never heard of it so had to Google. Sounds a bit desperate to me. If someone tells you they don't want to be with you it's best just to walk away rather than play stupid games

No contact is beneficial for your own healing, not playing games and trying to get someone back.

I wonder if this is to drive traffic to this bonkers Coach

As above, no contact is to make sure there’s a clean break so you can both take time out to heal when a relationship ends.
Continuing contact when things are unhealthy isn’t a good idea.
Has anything substantially changed since you split?
You risk going back to the same harmful cycle (speaking as someone who’s done that previously, and it only hurts more when it ends the next time).
Maybe it’s the attachment and familiarity that you’re missing and not your ex? It must have ended for a reason.

I'm just struggling to accept it's over. He said he loves and cares about me but needs time on his own for a bit. This was 2 weeks ago.

Balls to him. Focus on you and your own growth. If he wanted to be with you, he would.

Code for there’s somebody else.
Stay no contact and it will feel better soon.
He will try to crawl back when it doesn’t work out with whoever he’s gone with so block him and keep him blocked.

Ask yourself if you actually want him, or if you just don’t want to be alone. If you get back together, won’t you always be wondering when he will do it again?

He’s ended the relationship (and unfortunately has probably met someone else as men rarely leave a relationship until they’ve got a replacement sorted), so let him go.

Thst sounds like he's sweetening the pill
When you love and care for someone there is no need to spend time alone.

I think these coaches prey on people when they are low to spend money on advice sessions or whatever........but the basic advice in this case of not hassling someone who doesn't want to be with you is sound. You can't force your way into someone's life.

Sorry but he doesn’t love you. He left you just before Valentines Day? You don’t do that to someone you love.
He might have wanted to avoid any effort to celebrate with you, or like PP’s have said, already have someone else lined up. When that doesn’t work out he’ll be back. But why would you want him then?

Why would you want someone who doesn't want you?

I can't understand that at all.

You deserve better.
