The Egomaniac Attachment Style: The Hidden Side No One Talks About Most people have heard of anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment styles. But what happens when someone’s attachment isn’t about love or connection — it’s about ego? In this video, I explain what I call the Egomaniac Attachment Style. This hidden side of attachment shows up when a person needs admiration more than intimacy. Their relationships revolve around control, validation, and protecting their self-image instead of building trust. If you’ve ever felt like your ex (or partner) always made it about them, dismissed your needs, or left you feeling invisible, this video will help you understand why. You’ll learn: What the Egomaniac Attachment Style is and how it develops How it compares to anxious and avoidant attachment Signs you may have been in a relationship with someone like this Why it’s not your fault — and how to protect yourself going forward This is one of those hidden truths that rarely gets talked about, but it can make sense of so many painful relationship experiences. 💡 If this video helps you, don’t forget to subscribe for more insights on attachment, relationships, and breakups.

When someone ends a relationship, it often looks simple on the outside: they make the decision, walk away, and insist they’re sure of it. But the truth is rarely that clean. In this episode, I explain why your ex might still be wrestling with their feelings for you, even if they’re the one who chose to leave. Book a coaching session for guidance on your situation at https://myexbackcoach.com/book-with-coach-lee/ The first thing to understand is that relief often comes right after a breakup. It can give the dumper a false sense of freedom, as though they’ve escaped the pressure or tension of the relationship. But that “honeymoon phase” doesn’t last. As days and weeks pass, the very silence they asked for can become louder than they expected. Silence has a way of echoing. It forces them to confront what life is actually like without you—without your voice, your presence, or your support. That realization alone can stir up emotions they thought they had buried. Another layer to this struggle is that most people don’t replace the person; they replace the role. Your ex may move quickly into another relationship, or they may distract themselves with work or new hobbies. But roles are easier to fill than genuine connections. Eventually, they realize that chemistry, history, and shared experience can’t be swapped out so easily. It’s at this point that many people begin to wrestle with the thought that maybe they let go of someone who mattered more than they admitted. In this conversation, I also cover how dignity and restraint work in your favor. When you handle the breakup without chasing, pleading, or trying to repair what they decided to end, you keep your value intact. That’s when they start to wonder why you seem steadier than they feel. That contrast can be jarring. The person who left expects to be fine, and they expect you to crumble. When it flips the other way, the imbalance of attraction begins to shift. I’ll also explain why not “fixing” what they broke is one of the smartest things you can do. It shows them that losing you has real consequences. They no longer have access to the benefits of your love and support, and that reality is what makes them question whether they made the right choice. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the psychology behind their resistance, their mixed signals, and their quiet moments of doubt. Most importantly, you’ll see why stepping back is not about giving up—it’s about creating the space for them to realize what they stand to lose. If you’re struggling with the pain of a breakup, this episode will give you both insight and encouragement. You are stronger than you feel right now, and sometimes, the best thing you can do is let the silence speak on your behalf. If you’re going through a breakup or separation and need clear guidance, I put together a course that walks you step by step through what to do and when. It’s already helped thousands of people take the right actions at the right time.

Don't Fix What They Broke Podcast with Coach Lee When a breakup leaves you reeling, there’s a strong temptation to rush in and patch things up—especially if you didn’t want the relationship to end. You might feel like if you can just fix it, explain yourself better, or show them how much you care, everything will fall back into place. But here’s something most people overlook: if they were the one who broke it, fixing it for them actually makes things worse. In this episode, I talk about why stepping back—and staying back—can often do far more for your chances of reconciliation than chasing or trying to clean up the damage they caused. You’ll hear why it’s important that your ex sees what life is like without you rushing in to save the day. If they ended it, if they ghosted you, or if they created the distance… they need to feel the weight of that decision. They need to experience the silence, the space, and the consequence of what they did. Because if you make it too easy—if you do all the work—they never have to face the loss. And that’s the moment you lose your power. We’ll dive into the psychology behind what happens when you don’t fix it. I’ll explain how self-respect, restraint, and quiet strength speak louder than emotional speeches or repeated apologies. When you hold back, it challenges their assumptions. It makes them wonder if they were wrong. And that question—“Did I mess up?”—is the one that often brings them back. You’ll also hear how giving your ex the emotional consequences of the breakup isn’t about revenge or being cold. It’s about stopping the cycle of imbalance. If you’re always the one doing the emotional labor, the relationship was never even to begin with—and reconciliation will only be more of the same. This episode is for anyone in the thick of heartbreak, especially those who feel like their ex is just waiting for them to fix it again. It’s a reminder that silence, boundaries, and letting the broken pieces stay broken for a while can actually create the space needed for clarity, remorse, and maybe even a real reunion.

They didn’t think it would matter. When they let you go, they figured they’d be fine. Maybe even better off. In their mind, you’d be easy to replace. Someone else would come along and fill the space. They believed they could move on without consequence, without even looking back. But people like you don’t come around every day. And that’s something they never truly considered—until the silence set in. Until the conversations weren’t as natural. The laughter didn’t sound quite the same. The connection didn’t flow. The comfort wasn’t there. In this episode, Coach Lee breaks down the hard truth behind what happens when someone thinks you’re replaceable… and then realizes you’re not. You’ll learn how to stop trying to prove your worth to someone who undervalued you—and why your silence, your strength, and your absence often do more to create regret than any words ever could. Coach Lee explains how walking away with dignity leaves a mark that lingers far longer than begging, convincing, or chasing ever would. This episode isn’t about playing games. It’s about understanding human psychology, especially in the aftermath of a breakup. When someone thinks you’ll chase, they assume they have control. They expect you to fall apart, to cling, to wait around just in case they change their mind. But when you don’t? That’s when the narrative starts to change. You’ll hear why it’s so important not to hand over your emotional power, and how doing so often makes the other person feel justified in their decision to leave. Coach Lee walks you through what happens when you pull back, live your life, and let the silence speak for you. We also discuss why most people who end relationships aren’t thinking long-term in the moment. They’re reacting to emotion, impulse, or a fantasy of something “better.” But over time, reality has a way of setting in—and it rarely looks the way they imagined. That’s when they begin to compare. And if you’ve been composed, grounded, and quietly rebuilding your strength? You stand out more than ever. In the episode, Coach Lee shares how to handle those inevitable breadcrumbs—those vague texts, likes on social media, or messages just checking in. You’ll learn how to recognize them for what they are: attempts to get emotional reassurance without committing to anything real. Responding correctly can either reinforce your value—or confirm that you’ll settle for less than you deserve. You’ll learn how to keep your edge and avoid falling into emotional traps that give away your progress. We also talk about what it actually looks like when someone regrets losing you. It’s not always dramatic or loud. Sometimes it’s quiet. A creeping realization. A late-night memory. A moment of comparison. And often, that regret comes long after they expected to feel nothing at all. This episode will remind you that you were never easy to replace. You might have been quiet. You might have walked away calmly. But what you brought to the table can’t be duplicated—and eventually, they’ll see that. And when they do? You’ll be standing stronger, wiser, and more certain of what you deserve. — If you’re struggling with the pain of a breakup or still hoping your ex will come back, visit myexbackcoach.com for a step-by-step plan with Coach Lee’s Emergency Breakup Kit (see https://MyExBackCoach.com/ebk).

They don’t come back when you chase. They come back when you let go. In this video, Coach Lee explains why letting someone go often has a more powerful impact than trying to convince them to stay. If you're wondering why your ex suddenly comes back after you've stopped reaching out or walked away, this video will help you understand the psychology behind it. Letting go creates mystery, space, and the contrast they didn’t expect to feel. It shows strength instead of desperation—and that shift can change everything. 🔹 Want a proven plan to get your ex back? 👉 Emergency Breakup Kit at https://MyExBackCoach.com/ebk 🔹 Want to become more grounded, attractive, and effective in relationships as a man? 👉 Masculine Destiny Course at https://MasculineDestiny.com On YouTube at "Why An Ex Comes Back When You Let Them Go"
In this episode, we’re digging into something a lot of people struggle with after a breakup. I'm talking about how to make your ex actually feel the loss. Not out of spite, not to play games, but because deep down, you know they took you for granted. Maybe they assumed you’d always be there. Maybe they expected you to fall apart or chase them the moment they walked away. And maybe… that’s exactly why they left in the first place. Emergency Breakup Kit at https://MyExBackCoach.com/ebk Masculine Destiny (for men) at https://MasculineDestiny.com Coaching Session at https://myexbackcoach.com/book-with-coach-lee/ But when you pull back—when you truly let go and stop showing up in ways they’ve grown used to—that’s when something unexpected happens. They start to feel it. Not right away, maybe not even consciously at first, but the absence settles in. And it’s different than silence. It’s strength. It’s peace. It’s self-respect. In this episode, I walk you through the reasons people tend to come back once you let go. You’ll learn why chasing only delays their regret, why your calm detachment shifts the entire dynamic, and how to carry yourself in a way that rewrites their memory of the breakup. If you’ve ever felt invisible after giving your best to someone, this episode is for you. We’re not talking about pretending to be okay—we’re talking about actually getting to a place where you are. And when that happens, you won’t need them to regret losing you. But ironically, that’s when they usually do.

In this episode, we’re talking about something that hits deep: what it feels like when someone walks away—but expects you to wait. Maybe you’ve been there. You gave your heart, your time, your consistency… and in return, they gave confusion. Silence dressed up as “space.” Excuses instead of effort. And yet, part of you still held the door open, hoping they’d come back. This conversation is for the ones who waited—out of love, out of belief, out of loyalty—until one day, you realized that love shouldn’t feel like waiting in emotional limbo.

You’re not alone, and you’re not crazy for expecting someone to meet you halfway. Listen all the way through.

Not right away, but in the weeks and months that follow, there’s often a shift they didn’t expect. The relief fades. Doubt creeps in. And if you’ve gone quiet, that silence starts to get loud. We’ll talk about the common phases dumpers go through, why they sometimes reach out even when they’re not sure what they want, and what it really means when they start watching your stories or texting out of nowhere.

What really causes someone to regret the breakup? In this episode, I walk you through five real moments that often shift the mindset of someone who left you.

They thought you’d wait forever. They thought you’d stay in place. That you’d stay loyal no matter how long they disappeared. That you’d be available whenever — if they ever changed their mind. And for a while… maybe they were right. But something changed. You didn’t just wait. You grew. You got quiet. You got stronger. And now… they don’t know where you stand. And that uncertainty? It’s doing something they never expected — it’s making them feel your absence. In this episode, Coach Lee breaks down the powerful shift that happens when you stop chasing, stop reaching out, and stop holding space for someone who walked away. It’s not about giving up — it’s about stepping back in a way that forces your ex to face the silence, the loss, and the consequences of their decision. You’ll learn: Why openly waiting after a breakup actually keeps your ex emotionally comfortable and uninterested How true emotional distance triggers curiosity, doubt, and even longing in the mind of your ex What role ego plays in making them assume you’ll always be there — and what happens when that assumption shatters The difference between stepping back with power vs. using it as a tactic (and how your intent affects the outcome) What to do if they do reach out — how to handle that moment with composure and strength, instead of rushing back into the same dynamic This episode is about helping you reclaim your dignity and emotional clarity — not as a strategy to manipulate your ex, but as a way to create real conditions for their regret and reconsideration. Because when you stop acting like you're waiting forever… it becomes clear to them that your love wasn't unconditional—it was respectful, but it required reciprocity. If you're currently wondering how long to wait, what to do next, or whether your ex will even notice you're gone, Coach Lee shares the mindset and actions that can help you move forward — either toward reconciliation, or peace.

Dopamine and the Relief Stage When your ex decided to break up, their brain rewarded them with dopamine, the same chemical that gives a sense of satisfaction when completing difficult tasks. Since breaking up is tough, their brain gives them a sense of relief, making them feel like they’ve “escaped” something they had been struggling with for a while. Even if they later regret the breakup, at the moment, they feel good because the breakup is no longer something they are dreading. This initial relief can make it seem like they feel nothing, but it's just the temporary high of crossing a difficult task off their mental to-do list. 2. No Emotional Consequences Yet Your ex has not yet had time to fully experience your absence. The human brain assumes that familiar people will always be around, so in the early stages after a breakup, they don’t feel like they’ve lost you permanently. If you keep reaching out, they won’t feel any real emotional consequences. They won’t miss you because they still believe you are an option. In order for them to feel your absence, you must stop contacting them and allow reality to set in. 3. They Consider You a Perpetual Option If your ex hasn’t experienced you truly being gone, they don’t believe they’ve lost you. Many people make the mistake of keeping communication open, thinking it will help rebuild the relationship, but in reality, it only reinforces the breakup. By remaining in their life, you make it easier for them to move on, because nothing feels different. The best way to make them reconsider is to actually walk away and let them realize what life is like without you. 4. They Are Rewriting the Relationship To justify the breakup, your ex may distort their memories of the relationship, making you seem worse than you were. They may label you as toxic, controlling, or even call you a narcissist, not necessarily because they believe it, but because they need a logical reason to explain the breakup to themselves and others. However, over time, their brain will naturally forget the negatives and remember the positives more clearly. This psychological process, known as the fading effect bias, often leads people to regret their decisions. 5. They Feel Something, But They Won’t Show It Your ex may be feeling emotions but doesn’t want to admit it. Reaching out after a breakup can feel embarrassing, so instead, they look for an excuse to reconnect subtly. They may start small, sending a casual message, hoping you’ll take the lead. Some people struggle with accountability and want the other person to be the one to initiate getting back together. Final Thoughts The best way to handle this situation is to stay away. Let your ex go through the natural stages of post-breakup emotions. As the dopamine fades and they experience your absence, they may start to miss you. If you continue to reach out, you only delay this process. Instead, give them the breakup they wanted—so they can truly feel what life is like without you.

The Impact of Radio Silence on Your Ex Radio silence is one of the most effective strategies after a breakup, particularly if your ex was the one who ended the relationship. It works hand in hand with no contact but has its own unique impact. By removing yourself from your ex’s life completely—no texting, no social media updates, no interaction—you create a noticeable absence that forces them to feel the consequences of their decision. Get Coach Lee's Reunion Blueprint to get your ex back for only $7 at https://ReunionBlueprint.com. Breaking the Seek-and-Find Pattern In today’s world, we’re used to getting answers instantly. If we have a question, we Google it. If we need to know something, we check social media or text someone. But when it comes to people, things work differently. When you go silent, your ex loses the ability to check up on you. They can’t find out how you're doing, who you’re with, or whether you’ve moved on. That can be incredibly frustrating for them because it breaks their expectation that they can always seek information and find it. This is an important first consequence of the breakup—they no longer have access to you. Before, they were used to knowing what was going on in your life, from daily activities to future plans. Now, they get nothing. And that absence can feel jarring. Forcing Them to Miss Your Intimacy Regardless of why they ended the relationship, if it lasted six months or more, your ex will inevitably miss the intimacy you shared. That’s the part of a relationship people tend to miss the most. Even in shorter relationships, there is a level of connection that gets disrupted when one person disappears. Many times, after a breakup, an ex will check social media, scroll through old pictures, or casually ask mutual friends about you. This gives them a sense of staying emotionally connected, even if the relationship has ended. But when you enforce radio silence, they lose that option. If all they can see are old posts and outdated pictures, it doesn't satisfy them. They want new information—something to confirm that you’re still there, still missing them, still possibly open to reconciliation. But when you disappear, they feel the full impact of what it means to no longer have you in their life. Creating a Psychological Void The mind has a tendency to fixate on what it cannot have. When you go silent, your ex is left with questions: How are you feeling about the breakup? Are you moving on? Have you met someone new? That curiosity is crucial. If they assume they can check in on you whenever they want, they feel in control. But when that information is no longer available, their curiosity can quickly turn into concern, then regret. People often think that their ex expects them to beg, plead, or try to convince them to stay. When you do the opposite—when you vanish—they don’t know what to think. It’s unexpected, and that makes it powerful. Preventing Closure Get Coach Lee's Reunion Blueprint to get your ex back for only $7 at https://ReunionBlueprint.com. Many times, an ex will look for ways to feel justified in their decision. They want closure on their terms. If they see you struggling, reaching out, or making it clear that you still want them, it gives them a sense of relief. They feel that breaking up was the right choice. But when they can’t see any evidence of your emotions, they are left in a state of uncertainty. They don’t know if you’re heartbroken or if you’ve already moved on. That lack of closure leaves the door open for them to second-guess their decision. Triggering Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) People don’t like the idea of being left out. If your ex believes they still have a place in your life, even from a distance, they won’t feel a strong urge to return. But when you go silent, their mind starts to assume things: You must be out having fun. You must be doing things they don’t know about. Maybe you’ve already found someone new. These thoughts create a fear of missing out—on your life, your happiness, and possibly even a reconciliation. Making Yourself Inaccessible There’s a big difference between knowing you can reach someone and realizing you might not be able to. Radio silence creates the illusion that you are out of reach. Even if your ex technically could contact you, they hesitate. Why? Because they don’t know how you’ll respond—or if you’ll respond at all. And when people feel they can’t have something, they often want it more. Creating a Phantom Relationship Over time, your ex may find themselves mentally engaging with you even though you’re not around. They will replay memories, imagine conversations, and try to recreate the intimacy they lost. At first, this might feel satisfying to them. But it doesn’t take long for them to realize that reminiscing is not the same as actually having you in their life. That realization can lead them to question the breakup. The Power of Absence When done correctly, radio silence makes your ex wonder about you constantly. It creates an emotional gap that only you can fill. And the longer they go without answers, the more their mind works against them. They might start to feel regret. They might worry they’ve lost you for good. And in some cases, they may even become obsessed with the idea of getting you back. But none of that can happen if you’re constantly reminding them you’re still there. That’s why silence is so powerful—it forces them to feel the weight of the breakup. So if you’re wondering what to do after a breakup, consider this: Sometimes, the best thing you can do is nothing at all. Let them feel your absence. Let them wonder. Let them regret. And if they truly care, they will come looking for you. Get Coach Lee's Reunion Blueprint to get your ex back for only $7 at https://ReunionBlueprint.com.

Why Your Ex Misses You Later (And What You Can Do About It) Get Coach Lee's Reunion Blueprint to get your ex back! After a breakup, you may find yourself missing your ex almost immediately, but they often take longer to feel that same sense of loss. This delay happens for a reason, and understanding why can help you handle the situation in a way that increases your chances of getting them back. Here’s what happens in your ex’s mind after a breakup and what you can do about it. 1. The Delayed Loss Window Your ex likely experiences something called the delayed loss window. Immediately after breaking up with you, they feel a sense of relief. Ending a relationship, even one they wanted to end, is difficult. They may have dreaded the conversation, felt guilty about hurting you, or worried about the awkwardness of the situation. Once the breakup is over, they experience emotional relief—similar to the way you feel after completing a difficult task. During this stage, your ex believes life will be better without you. They assume they’re moving toward something better, whether that means another person, more freedom, or simply avoiding problems they perceived in the relationship. However, this relief is temporary. What You Should Do The best way to move them out of this relief stage quickly is no contact. This means no texting, calling, or watching their social media stories. You must remove yourself from their life entirely. By doing so, you prevent them from constantly reaffirming their decision. If you stay in contact, they will continue seeking relief from the breakup, reinforcing the idea that breaking up was the right choice. But when you disappear, the relief stage ends much faster. 2. From Freedom to Loneliness After the relief stage, reality begins to set in. Even if your ex has started dating someone else, they still experience loneliness—not just in the sense of missing your presence, but in terms of emotional intimacy. Emotional intimacy develops when two people share their lives, thoughts, and feelings over time. It’s not something they can easily replace. When they no longer have you to talk to about their day, their past, and their feelings, a void appears. Even if they are surrounded by other people, the loneliness from losing that deep connection with you starts to take hold. What You Should Do Again, no contact is key. Their loneliness will intensify when they realize they can’t turn to you for comfort. If you reach out, you provide an easy escape from this loneliness, and they don’t have to face the consequences of their decision. But if you remain silent, they will begin to miss the emotional connection they lost. Get Coach Lee's Reunion Blueprint to get your ex back! 3. The Emotional Echo Effect As time passes, your ex will start experiencing emotional echoes—waves of sadness, longing, and nostalgia. These moments are triggered by things like hearing a song that reminds them of you, seeing a picture of the two of you, or even catching a familiar scent. When you are silent, these emotional echoes become stronger because they assume you’re happily moving on. If you were reaching out, they’d feel reassured that you were still available. But since they don’t hear from you, doubt begins to creep in. What You Should Do Maintain mystery and silence. When they don’t know what you’re up to, their imagination takes over, and they may start to worry that you are moving on. This uncertainty makes them reevaluate the breakup. 4. Unexpected Jealousy Jealousy is a powerful emotion, but it must happen naturally. If you post pictures with someone new to make your ex jealous, they will likely see through it and feel reassured that you still care. However, if they simply suspect you are moving on, the jealousy is much stronger because they believe it’s real. What You Should Do Instead of trying to make them jealous, stay silent and live your life. Let them wonder. Their mind will fill in the blanks, making them fear they lost you for good. 5. Their Brain Rewrites the Breakup At first, your ex will try to justify the breakup by telling themselves, “It was for the best.” But as time passes, they begin to question whether they made the right choice. When they don’t hear from you, they feel less defensive about the breakup and start remembering the good times more than the bad. This is because time changes perception. If you remain silent, your ex’s brain begins to rewrite history, making them nostalgic for the relationship. What You Should Do Resist the urge to remind them of the past. Let time do the work. If they reach out, it’s because their own mind has convinced them that they may have made a mistake. Final Thoughts The key to making your ex miss you is simple: silence, patience, and self-respect. Let them go through their process without interference. If they truly cared about you, they will eventually feel the weight of their decision. At that point, the door will be open for reconciliation—but only if you have given them the space to realize what they lost. Get Coach Lee's Reunion Blueprint to get your ex back!
