Key Points

Reasons for Stubborn Behavior

  1. Natural Human Characteristic

    • People need to justify their decisions to others.
    • Your ex wants to show that their decision to break up was correct.
    • They may stick to their decision even if they are not happy or are suffering.

  2. Ego and Image

    • Admitting they were wrong is difficult for anyone.
    • Your ex’s ego makes them control their emotions and appear steadfast.
    • They want to control the narrative and not appear weak.

  3. Attention and Control

    • If you are chasing them or giving them too much attention, they feel in control.
    • They may become more stubborn and disrespectful because they know you still care.

Strategies to Gain Respect and Reconnect

  1. Show Genuine Change

    • Focus on personal growth and becoming the best version of yourself.
    • Make your ex see that a new relationship with you will be better than the past.

  2. Non-Reactive Approach

    • Do not react emotionally to their behavior.
    • Avoid appearing needy or desperate.

  3. Create Positive Interactions

    • Instead of trying to shake them into seeing your change, make them smile and have positive experiences.
    • Aim to re-attract them through positive emotions and interactions.

  4. Use Controlled Distance

    • Don’t over-communicate or chase them; give them space.
    • Use distance to make them realize your absence and value.

Practical Tips

  1. Birthday Wishes

    • Keep it light and positive if you decide to wish them a happy birthday.
    • Use humor or a specific interest to make the message stand out.
