About this episode

Oftentimes while we are in the midst of a breakup or divorce we desperately hope for things to go back to the way they used to be. We want our ex to come running back, tell us they messed up and are ready to get back to normal. Have we ever considered that perhaps, even if they did that, we wouldn't be happy? Join us in today's episode where we talk about the 50/50 of life and how that applies specifically to breakups and divorce.
