Transcript
- 0:00Hi, this is Lucia with The Art of Love.
- 0:02I'm a dating and relationship expert specializing in helping
- 0:05you get your ex back or to get over your ex.
- 0:08This week I want to answer the question, how long will it take
- 0:11to get my ex back? Besides the question of whether
- 0:16I will get my ex back, the second most asked question from
- 0:19my clients is how long will it take?
- 0:23Everyone wants their ex back as soon as possible and.
- 0:28They make mistakes where it actually takes longer to get
- 0:31their ex back. They become their own worst
- 0:32enemy, and they're actually standing in their own way of
- 0:35getting their ex back by trying to get them back as soon as
- 0:38possible. You have to go slow initially in
- 0:43order to go fast, because by trying to go fast, you'll
- 0:46actually go slow. What do I mean by that?
- 0:49Well, stay tuned and you'll find out first.

- 1:22back, huh? Everybody wants their ex back
- 1:25yesterday. Nobody wants to wait.
- 1:28Everyone's in a hurry. That's because of the pain that
- 1:32you're feeling, of course, and for some of you, the anxiety
- 1:36that you're feeling. And also because we live in a
- 1:38Society of instant gratification and we figure that everything
- 1:42should be wrapped up neatly and back to normal within a very
- 1:45short amount of time. And that's just not realistic
- 1:48when it comes to getting your ex back.
- 1:51So I said in the intro that in trying to go faster, you're
- 1:55actually going to slow it down, and by going slow you're
- 1:58actually going to speed it up. So what do I mean?
- 2:01It means that trying to go fast means that you don't stay in no
- 2:05contact. You contact your ex, you're
- 2:06doing everything to get them back and that just pushes them
- 2:10further away and makes them not want to deal with you and makes
- 2:15them happy actually to have broken up with you.
- 2:18Whereas if you. Go slow or it looks like you're
- 2:22going slow and you don't contact them and you do nothing, as I
- 2:27say to do, you are actually speeding things along.
- 2:31You are actually going fast and the time will be shorter when
- 2:37you're trying to get them back shortly after the breakup.
- 2:40That does not work, as I talked about in my video about the
- 2:45stages that a dumper goes through, and I'll put the link
- 2:48up here in the right hand corner.
- 2:50On YouTube, one of the first stages is relief.
- 2:56So if they're in the relief stage, what makes you think that
- 3:00they are going to want to get back in the relationship when
- 3:02they are relieved to be out of it?
- 3:04Well, they're not getting back, so leave them alone.
- 3:09They have to be out of the relief stage and the sooner you
- 3:12leave them alone, the quicker they'll be out of that stage.
- 3:15As long as they are in relief, they ain't coming back.
- 3:19Okay. And if you contact them when you
- 3:23don't have to, for those of you that have to be in contact
- 3:26because of children or work, again, you're going to prolong
- 3:31the amount of time that they are in the belief stage, meaning
- 3:35that it's going to take longer to get them back.
- 3:38They need to miss you in order to start even thinking about
- 3:42coming back. They can't miss you if you're
- 3:45not gone. How can they miss you if you're
- 3:49still around? And I talked about that in my
- 3:51video, How to make Your Ex Miss you after a breakup.
- 3:54And I will of course post the link in the right hand corner.
- 3:58So This is why I say to do absolutely nothing during no
- 4:02contact. Don't reach out.
- 4:04Don't like their posts, don't respond to bread crumbs, don't
- 4:08look at their stories, don't talk to their friends about
- 4:10them. Nothing.
- 4:12Be a ghost. Go into witness protection and
- 4:15just disappear. The more things you do right
- 4:19after a breakup, the sooner and the more likely it is that
- 4:23you'll get your ex back. And the more things you do
- 4:26wrong, the longer it will take to get your ex back and may even
- 4:31prevent them from ever coming back.
- 4:34You can't just go off of your feelings every time your
- 4:36triggers like, oh, I'm going to contact them.
- 4:39Nope, feelings do not have an IQ and they will betray you.
- 4:44I suggest that instead, if you're triggered and you want to
- 4:46contact your ex that obviously use my app Silencio, push the
- 4:51panic button and also listen to my no contact playlist to
- 4:56understand how to handle the time between when you were
- 4:59broken up and when your ex contacts you.
- 5:03Now when your ex broke up with you, they thought they were
- 5:06making the right decision, they thought they could do better and
- 5:09until they find out for themselves.
- 5:12That they did not make the right decision, or that they can't do
- 5:16better. They are not going to be
- 5:19interested in coming back. This could take months, and
- 5:22sometimes it can take years. A client of mine recently got
- 5:26his ex back after a little over 2 years.
- 5:29That's right, two years. Yes, it was a long journey.
- 5:33He wasn't interested in anyone else.
- 5:35He did date others, but he didn't find anyone he was more
- 5:38interested in than his ex, and luckily he ran into her at the
- 5:41grocery store. Things escalated from there and
- 5:44they are now back together. So what does it matter how long
- 5:49it takes to get your ex back as long as you finally get them
- 5:51back, right? Think of it this way, even if
- 5:54you win the lottery tomorrow for half a billion dollars, which is
- 5:59possible with the jackpots these days, you still have to wait a
- 6:03period of time to collect the money.
- 6:05It's not like you win the money tomorrow and you get the check
- 6:09the next day or whatever it is they give you.
- 6:12But you're going to be happy to wait because you know that
- 6:15eventually you're going to get that half a billion dollars,
- 6:17right? So if you know that waiting and
- 6:20being patient and not reaching out will give you your best
- 6:24chance to win the lottery of getting your ex back, then who
- 6:27cares whether it takes six weeks or six months or like my client,
- 6:32two years? In the end, you're going to get
- 6:35what you want. So just carry on with your life,
- 6:38continue leveling up, and have faith.
- 6:40In the knowledge that there is a chance to get your ex back if
- 6:43they aren't 1000% done with you, which they usually aren't, and
- 6:48if you do everything correctly after the breakup, then the
- 6:51chances of them coming back sooner rather than later are
- 6:56excellent. Okay.
- 6:58So now I want to hear from you. How long have you been broken
- 7:02up? I'm very curious to know how
- 7:04long people have been waiting and if you would like my help to
- 7:09get your ex back, like my client of two years hopefully won't
- 7:12take two years with you. No, that's an exception.
- 7:14Doesn't usually take that long. You can contact me at
