It can feel like adding insult to injury when the person who hurt you now seems angry at you. But their anger often stems from an immature defense mechanism. When your ex sees you hurting, it can make them feel guilty, uncomfortable, or even frustrated because they don’t want to face the consequences of their actions. Instead of addressing those feelings maturely, they lash out as a way to shut down the discomfort. This behavior is more about avoiding responsibility than anything you’ve done wrong.

Coach Lee dives into why persistence can backfire in these situations. After a breakup, many people think keeping communication open will help repair the relationship. But in reality, persistent contact often makes things worse. It can push your ex to become even angrier and crueler because they feel pressured and want to create emotional distance. This video will show you why stepping back is essential to avoid making the situation worse.

Another key reason for their meanness is emotional chaos. Breakups often lead people to follow their emotions rather than logic. When feelings fade or become confusing, it can frustrate them further, especially if they can’t articulate what they’re experiencing. In their emotional state, they may blame you unfairly, inventing reasons to justify the breakup.

The video also provides hope by explaining why this cruelty is often temporary. Once emotions settle and your ex has time to reflect, they may regret their behavior and even apologize. Coach Lee explains how giving them space through the No Contact Rule can interrupt their defensive patterns and help them process the breakup more maturely. By stepping back, you allow them to miss you and reflect on their actions, potentially opening the door for reconciliation.
