Does absence really make the heart grow fonder . . . especially when the person you’re into seems to forget you exist when you’re not in the same room? When you’re together, life couldn’t be better. You have off-the-charts chemistry, they’re totally focused on you, and your connection feels genuine. The catch? When you’re apart, you feel invisible as communication slows to a crawl and often drops off completely. As a result of these mixed signals, you’re essentially living in two completely different realities, and you’d do anything to get some clarity. You might even ask yourself: “Should I try to invest in this relationship even more to show how serious I am? Or would it be better to mirror their behavior and go cold?” In today’s Rewind episode, I walk you through what you must absolutely NOT DO in this hot and cold scenario . . . plus I give you two very specific text messages that can (finally!) get you out of this frustrating situation. --- ►► Transform Your Relationship With Life Learn More About the Matthew Hussey Retreat at . . . → http://www.MHRetreat.com ►► Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Ask Matthew AI Your Biggest Dating Question for Free Now at. . . → http://www.AskMH.com

Breakups are incredibly hard. And a split can be even more excruciating when your partner moves on while you’re still healing. It can leave you with all kinds of painful questions like: “Why wasn’t I good enough?” “What does that person have that I don’t have?” “Have I lost the love of my life to someone else?” It’s one of the worst types of pain there is. And if we don’t learn the right lessons from our breakup, it can create baggage in the form of insecurities and an unwillingness to open up to someone new. (Risking your chance to find real, lasting love.) But closure can come faster than you expect with a simple shift in the way you choose to think about your ex, and yourself. I’m sharing this powerful shift with you today. If there’s anything I want you to take from this video, it’s that while what you’re going through is hard, it’s also an opportunity. A chance to let go of someone who couldn’t see your value, so that you can make space for a man who can. If someone doesn’t choose you, they cannot be right for you. Period. There’s someone better on the other side of all this. I promise. Today’s video was inspired by a brave male audience member who was devastated when his girlfriend of 5 years moved on only four months after their breakup. Not only will you learn something from the response I give him, but you'll also get insight into how men process pain.

Topics Covered: What is the “3 Box Theory” of dating Can someone change the box they’re in—or are they stuck? Signs you’re being kept in the “casual” box and how to respond Why first impressions aren’t always final in attraction Emotional connection vs. chemistry: how to tell the difference Dating consistency, standards, and sexual boundaries How to communicate your relationship intentions without fear ►► Subscribe to my Brand New Love Life Podcast channel → @LoveLifePodcast ►► Ask Matthew AI for personalized advice: AskMH.com ►► Free training to go from casual to committed: GetCommitment.com ►► Join the Love Life Club: JoinLoveLife.com ►► Email us your thoughts at podcast@matthewhussey.com

Why do so many people struggle with the idea of commitment—even when they want love? What fears do you have to confront? And what does it really take to feel ready? In this conversation, I interview newly-married bestselling author and entrepreneur Lewis Howes about managing the “storms” of life, avoiding the self-doubt trap, and what it means to give your heart fully to a relationship. But we don’t stop there. We also get into money—why it’s so emotionally charged, and how unhealed financial wounds can quietly sabotage your dating life. There’s a lot of raw honesty in this conversation, and I hope it meets you where you are. --- ▼ Connect With Lewis Howes ▼ Get Lewis's NEW Book → http://lewishowes.com/moneyiga Website → http://lewishowes.com/ Instagram → @lewishowes TikTok → @lewishowes X → @lewishowes --- ►► Transform Your Relationship With Life in One Powerful Weekend.
