Maybe you’ve been trapped here before. In this strange and emotionally confusing place. A place we call “Relationship Limbo.”
If you’ve ever been here before (or know a friend who has), stop whatever you’re doing right this second and watch this…

Lolz lotion and Kleenex for the lose
Yeah that’s my situation, but how can I get out the limbo zone with the same guy??
hahahahhahhah! Daniel Radcliff!
Hii!! It’s exactly how I feel, and yes it is really confusing and kind of annoying. Because I don’t know why I feel it is difficult to just leave this guy. Thanks for sharing the video, I’m working on getting off “the relationship limbo”. Take care.
I was in limbo for 7,5 months. And now realising how every minute is too precious to start something like that again ;) the video helped define it, thank you for that (btw I think you look more like Patrick Dempsey ^o^)
Brilliant!!! Loved this vid… so funny but so painfully true…
Hilarious! Love it and yes, it feels soooo good to walk away….when you know your worth you don’t need to put up with that crap! :)
Hi Matt, this is a great video! It really made my day! I might be in a limbo relationship myself, but I will give it another couple of weeks to see how it plays out. So thanks a lot for this!
We fall in love emotionally faster. Brain chemicals just shut us right down!
OMG…absolutely LOVED this video and can completely relate!! You go Stacy saying ‘no’ to limbo…what a fun reminder that we need to value ourselves more!! Thank you for creating something so fun to watch with such a great message! :)
Loved it!! Thank you for making it really clear that it is okay to say -ENOUGH AND GOODBYE-! We get trapped in the “I don’t wanna be lonely or its bad but not that bad.. when letting go and waiting for the man that will treat you right is the best thing to do it you value yourself! THANK YOU HUSSEY!!! GREAT VIDEO!
Very clever vid, but AHHHH, why did she have to leave for another guy??? Why couldn’t she just leave for herself???
Hi Matt, I am sitting here stunned as I have just watched your brilliant video which summarised my 22 month relationship that I ended last weekend via a text… yes a text – I know not great but I had a week of another silence and as we have 37 miles of M25 between us I had enough and text it was … the relief was immense but….
Please Natt Please can you do a video and explain why when a relationship starts so well what makes the guy plonk you in Limbo Land land and please can you advise how can we prevent it or spot the early signs …. thank you Matt .
“No other person will know we exist”… “but you won’t invest in me…” :`(
Hit the nail on the head… sigh…
Ohmygosh. “hey isnt that Daniel Radcliff?” Literally I laughed out loud. You and your team are awesome. Thank you for making my day!
I have always thought you looked like DR!!! LOL! Great video
Wow! I’ve watched this thing at least 6 times in the last 24 hours! Been with “that guy” for over two years!!! I finally lost my eternal patience around 3 months ago & but texts just stopped . Just when I was feeling sorry for myself “losing” him—TA DA! this amazing video made me laugh Matthew, did you ever think you’ld be teaching this to women who are YOUR MAMA’s age and older?! After A long marriage, this is new info for me & I’ve kind of ignored some things because I thought men were different when older. NOT SO! Blows me away to see the guy dancing around and singing the exact words I’ve been hearing. If I ever hear it again, I’M OUT a whole lot sooner, thanks to you.
Young, handsome Matthew…Your Mom HAS to be proud!!!
The relationship limbo with the future faking partner lasted 7.5 months and ended 5 months ago. Everything was SO perfect, and at same time I felt as if empty containers were being placed in my hands to keep them busy and, to give me the impression that I was actually holding something.
Glorious full Moon hikes, love bombing under the stars… Wake ups to Empty containers, empty words, empty calories, empty days, emptiness…
I am still cleaning up and trying to clear myself and heart from the confusion.
Big confusion!!!!
I even got a text once at 6 am: “Mom, I LOVE you (emoji)!!!”
To which I replied- “Delivered to the wrong woman; I AM NOT YOUR MOM!”
The response was even more scary: “I am so sorry! It is just that you and my mom are the only women I send texts; I messed the numbers; sorry!”
My number is from Colorado; his mom’s number is from Illinois.
I’m married now, but I was in relationship limbo for nearly five years with a different man who I was sure was the love of my life. He had everything you’d want in a man and I was head over heels. I put up with so much crap from him, and he never gave me a straight answer about “where we were headed.” I was 23 at the time and didn’t necessarily want to get married right then– I was just starting my career — and he wasn’t settled either because he wanted to go to law school. I figured we had time to work out all the loose ends, and after he finished law school and I was anchored in my career, we’d get married.
Well, it never did get to be the right time. He spent 2-3 years wanting to go to law school, applying to law school, getting accepted to law school, and then being in law school. His first year in law school was Year #4 of our relationship and we saw even less of each other. THEN … I started to hear the name of another law student, his study partner, a young woman. More and more he was unavailable because he had to “study.”
Also, by then money was tight for him. He could no longer afford to take me out — anywhere, not even to McDonalds, I had to pay for my own meal. Which was why, when I saw the invoices that he’d wired Ms. Study Partner flowers in Denver (DENVER???) and taken her out for a $100 dinner upon her return East, I went ballistic, punched him and screamed at him until I was hoarse.
It’s 30 years later now, and he never did marry — not her, not the next one, or the next one. He’s gone grey now, has a thriving law practice and I suppose he’s put lots of women in relationship limbo since then. I’ve been married 24 years and I learned from that experience that if you don’t walk away at the first sign of limbo (and be honest, you saw the signs fairly early … I did) you can very well waste years of your life on promises that somehow never make it to the front door.
SO, DON’T STAY THERE!!! In fact, don’t sleep with a guy unless you are engaged. It separates the men from the boys, the serious ones from those who want to keep things casual forever while you get old waiting for them to get their s—t together. They never do. Deferring sex until you have a firm commitment in the form of a wedding or engagement ring is your only assurance that he means business. It worked in our grandmother’s day and it works today.
Awesome video! Extremely enjoyable! I’ve definitely been in this kind of relationship before. I was thinking about the fire emoji, and got to thinking about how vulnerable I was after the end of my marriage, when the last few years were completely lacking in any sense that he truly admired and desired me. Matt, it left me vulnerable to guys who treated me like I was attractive, as I was getting older, and my ex head gone to great lengths to show me how unattractive I had become to him. I’d love to see a video addressing this topic about women struggling with wanting to feel attractive, but not letting that leave them vulnerable to sticking with a guy in relationship limbo. Thanks again for all you do to Enlighten, Inspire, encourage, and entertain us!!! Because of the work I’ve done with you, I am now at the two-and-a-half-year mark with a wonderful man, and we have begun the discussion about possibly living together, which is very exciting for me! I truly don’t believe I would have got to this point without your guidance and mentorship. Thank you!
