Ep. 197 - When to leave a relationship

Breakup Coach Dorothy
About this episode

Have you ever wondered when it’s time to leave vs when it’s time to keep working on yourself while staying? Today, we delve into the complex question of when it's time to leave a relationship versus when to keep working on yourself while staying. It's a dilemma that many bravehearts face, unsure of whether they should continue their personal growth within the confines of their current partnership or take the courageous step of moving on.

 

Join us as we explore five powerful indicators that your relationship may no longer be aligned with your personal journey, and learn practical strategies on what to do when faced with these signs. Just because the world may be advising you to leave doesn't necessarily mean you're meant to exit right this moment.

 

Want to get clearer or closer within your current partnership? We can help you inside of The Get Over Your Ex in 3 months or less program: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/getoveryourex
