Summary

Have you ever dated someone who’s so hard to stay away from EVEN THOUGH they’re not interested in a relationship and you know you should keep your distance?

And before you know it, you go right back to feeling powerless—holding on to someone who’s not giving you what you need. So how can you break this cycle once and for all? Don’t miss today’s brand-new video!

fallen for says they're not ready but they keep wanting to stay in touch and won't let me go.

I'm naturally anxiously attached and I'm suffering every day having him in my life, but knowing

he doesn't want a relationship with me. I've tried doing no contact and staying away, but it never

lasts. I end up reaching out to him or replying to his messages to me,

and everything gets rekindled. Help. So let's start with some important fundamentals about this.

1:23.4

You're in a situation where the other person's vision is different from yours. In this case,
